App Lisboa 2023
"Lisboa 2023" is the official mobile App for the World Youth Day Lisbon 2023. This app is made available by MEO as a founding technology partner for the WYD Lisbon 2023 and was developed by Bliss Applications. The App is available for Android and iOS in the five official languages of the WYD (Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, and Italian).
The "Lisboa 2023" App guides the participants in the Encounter:
- Agenda with the weekly schedule for the Central Events, the Youth Festival, the City of Joy, and the Rise UP encounters, in real-time.
- Map, allowing to interactively locate the multiple events and explore the locations and support structures (catering network, drinking fountains, toilets, healthcare centres, police stations, among other services).
- Up2Pray, with all spiritual contents for the WYD, particularly the readings and chants for all Central Events, as well as audios for all daily prayers.
Stressing out the commitment for sustainability of the WYD Lisbon 2023, the App also includes, with the support of Novo Verde / ERP Portugal, a Carbon Footprint Calculator. By answering a questionnaire, registered pilgrims can find the carbon impact of their participation in the WYD 2023.
All participants registered as pilgrims, volunteers, clergy or media must register in the "Lisboa 2023" App by using the QR code in their Credential. This provides access to their user profile with miscellaneous information such as the included food package (through the digital voucher) and the allocated sectors in the Campo da Graça (Parque Tejo), as well as the location for the Rise Up Encounters where they will participate.
This App will be the preferred means of communication for last-minute alerts and reminders. As such, it is important to allow notifications.
Other relevant features are available, such as useful and emergency contacts, the event's FAQ as well as links for event "Lives".
This App was designed to provide virtually all content in offline mode, making it possible to use even with limited access to the Internet.
