iBurn 2025 is crafted as a gift for the Burning Man community, providing an offline map, compass, and guide to navigate the playa. The app includes a "Nearby Mode" to quickly discover happenings around you, along with a full-text search to find specific camps or events like "bacon" or "coffee". The geocoder always displays your current Playa Address, such as 6:30 & B, and provides easy access to your saved favorites. Walking and biking estimates help you plan your routes efficiently. A compass mode is also included for better orientation. The app also features event filtering and every public listing for Art Camps & Events from the PlayaEvents API. It works seamlessly on both iPhone & iPad. One user says, "I used iBurn throughout Burning Man, and it was absolutely indispensable!" Another user raves, "This app is amazing...thank you so much for this freaking awesome app." Camp locations are restricted until the gates open, with a passcode released on Sunday at 12:01 am. The app may automatically unlock once you're on the playa. Follow @iBurnApp on Twitter or Facebook for this year's passcode, or ask a Black Rock Ranger, Playa Info, or Burning Man Staffer. Get involved and help make it even better! iBurn is free and open source. This app is your essential Burning Man map and event guide, ensuring you make the most of your time in Black Rock City.

Just one question. How does this app utilize gps to help get you around but you are unable to use your phone to text or call (for some people). Hmmmmm. I have zero desire to use my phone in that capacity but it makes me wonder...I think the Playa does provide. Welcome Home. Amazing! Just one question.
