Help and Support

  • What is Bonju and what are our principles?
Bonju is a mobile app, available on both Android & iOS, that notifies you when you & your friends are in the same location or are going to be in the same place in the near future. 

We truly believe that one of the best things about traveling is the people you met along the way and there is nothing better than seeing them again. However, we respect everyone’s privacy and nothing happens without you and your friend’s approval.

  • How does the app work?
Once you download Bonju, create an account and you can start adding your friends, set your current city and your next destination. By default, the app tells you whenever you & people from your friends' list (that you added) are in the same city or intend to travel to the same city in the near future. In order to get in touch with your friends, you can view any social media accounts they added on their profile ( Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp). With only one click, you will be able to start messaging them.

  • Can I add a friend who is not on the app?
Yes, you can send them an invite to join Bonju and they can add you with your username or email address. Friends who do not use Bonju will not show up until they have registered and added you as a friend.

  • How can I contact my friends?
​Whenever you go on the profile of one of your friends, you can click on the icons of their social media and you will be automatically redirected to their profile. Please note that this is possible only if your friend has added their accounts to their profile.

  • How can someone contact me?
Your Bonju friends can view any social media accounts you added to your profile and tap on those to contact you directly via social media.


  • Am I going to share my exact address in the app?
No, Bonju only shows your city, not your exact location for privacy and safety reasons. You can always go “offline” in settings to hide your city from your friends or remove a friend from your account.


  • Is my location public to everyone?
No, your city location is only shared with people who are on your friends' list. 

  • How can I update my location?
Whenever you open Bonju, if your current location has changed you will be prompted to update your location (if you have GPS enabled) or you can manually enter your city on the map screen or press the pin-point icon on the bottom left of the map screen.

  • What does Bonju mean?
Bonju (spelled “Bongu”) comes from Maltese and it means “Good Morning” or “Hello”.

  • Can I remove a friend?
Yes, it is possible to remove a friend from your list. Open the profile of your friend and along the bottom of the screen select "Remove friend".

  • Can I delete my account?
Yes, it is possible to delete your account. Open your profile, tape Settings and tap on Delete Account. However, if you only wish to stay offline for a while you have that option as well in Settings.

  • Who can I contact to report an issue?

There is a Feedback button in the app, as well as a  Facebook group & chat where you can ask quick questions and share your thoughts about Bonju.
