WhereU vs Zenly
Zenly shut down in 2023. WhereU is what comes next.
Zenly was the best friends-on-a-map app until it was shut down. WhereU rebuilds that core experience and adds what Zenly never had: real events, real places, and real plans nearby.
Why WhereU is different
Same soul, more useful. Live friend markers, speed and status, but on a map that also knows the events, dinners, and open places around you.
| Feature | WhereU | Zenly |
|---|---|---|
| Live friend locations + speed | ✓ | ✓ |
| Battery / online status | ✓ | ✓ |
| Nearby public events on the map | ✓ | — |
| Auto check-ins to places | ✓ | — |
| Stranger Dinners | ✓ | — |
| Group Pulse (shake to add) | ✓ | — |
| Ghost Mode + allowlists | ✓ | Ghost |
| Actively developed | ✓ | — |
Best for
You loved Zenly and want the same feeling — plus nearby events and places baked in.
