HeatMapz is a new smartphone app for clubbers, party animals and concert-goers. The
app shows, in real time, what the current atmosphere, music and queues at the clubs near
you are like. The live data is generated by the nightlife community itself and is clearly
displayed on a map. HeatMapz also shows which of your Facebook friends are currently in
which club or concert. HeatMapz offers club-goers a useful decision-making tool when out
and about and bridges the gap between the prior event listing and ongoing event.
HeatMapz is an innovation. All the current websites or iPhone apps to do with events
or event calendars only cover the announcement of the event but not the atmosphere during
the event.
HeatMapz is currently available for over 20,000 clubs and bars worldwide.
Event calendars are, of course, great. Unfortunately, you cannot tell your guests in
advance what the atmosphere at the event will be like.
With the HeatMapz map display, it is immediately clear on the relevant evening which
locations are hot and which are not, and you can also always check whether it's worth
heading to another club. With just one click. For free.
As HeatMapz depends on events as they happen, all data is deleted every day at midday
and the overall atmosphere rating is reset to 'Zero'.
Also good for DJs
DJs use Facebook as the number one communication method to promote their next DJ set.
With HeatMapz, DJs can now also let their fans know, in real time, the atmosphere of the
current event as all app information is shown directly on their own Facebook wall. This
creates a veritable word-of-mouth effect amongst their own fans. As proof, the DJ can take
photos via the app and attach them to the event. Armin van Buuren would be delighted.
