Track the night.
Cheer the friends along the way.

CheersOida logs your bar-crawl route, detects when you arrive at each bar, and lets your friends send a Cheers the moment they see what you're drinking.

How a night goes

Three things happen, in order. The app handles the boring parts.

01
Start a crawl
Tap Start when the night begins. The app keeps a time-based GPS log while you walk — battery is the only cost.
02
Arrive, get detected
When you actually stop at a bar — not just pass one — the app adds it to your crawl. No taps required.
03
Check in. Friends cheer.
Tap a drink to log it. Friends see the check-in in real time and can send a Cheers or a message.

What's in it

The pieces that make CheersOida more than a check-in app.

Real route recording
Time-sampled GPS logs every second. Distance, dwell, and venue arrivals fall out of it.
Dwell detection
Stops are detected, not tapped. The app tells "arrived at a bar" from "walked past one."
Friends & Cheers
A friend-only feed, real-time cheers on each drink, push notifications with reply actions.
German & English
Built bilingual from the first screen. Same UI, copy, and notification actions in DE and EN.
Offline-first
GPS, check-ins, and photos queue locally and sync when the bar's Wi-Fi finally gives up.
Privacy by default
Raw GPS trace is owner-only. Friends see the simplified route, published once when the crawl ends.

Questions

The honest short answers.

What data does the app collect?

An account (email, username), a time-sampled GPS trace while a crawl is active, check-ins you create, photos you attach, your friend list, and a push-notification token. The full breakdown is on the privacy page.

Can my friends see my route while I'm still crawling?

No. Friends see only the simplified route, which is written once, when you end the crawl. Mid-session, they see "out since 21:30, 3 drinks" and nothing more.

How accurate is the "you arrived" detection?

The app looks for actual dwell at a known venue, not a single GPS fix. Walk past a bar and nothing happens; sit down and the venue is added to your crawl. Two bars ~15 m apart will prompt you to pick one of three instead of guessing.

Does it use background location?

Only while you have a crawl running, with your permission ("While using the app" plus an Android foreground service). The app does not ask for "Allow all the time" and does not track location when there's no active crawl.

Does it work offline / on a basement bar's Wi-Fi?

Yes. GPS, check-ins, and photos are written to the device first, then uploaded through an outbox when the network returns. A crawl through a basement with no signal works the same as one above ground.

Battery cost?

Time-based sampling (one fix per second while active) costs about as much as a navigation app on a similar drive. The crawl ends when you tap Stop, so the cost is bounded to the night itself.

Can I delete my data?

Yes. The in-app account settings delete the account, all check-ins, all friendships, the raw GPS trace, and the simplified route. Deletion is final and runs immediately.
