Onda — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Onda?

A free app to discover what's actually happening in Costa Rica's beach towns — events, live music, yoga, ecstatic dance, restaurants, waterfalls, and beach conditions — curated by locals.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free. No ads, no subscriptions.

Do I need an account?

No. Browse and save events freely. Accounts are only for curators who add and manage listings.

How do I save events?

Tap the heart on any event. Saved events live in the Saved tab on your device.

How do reminders work?

Turn on Notifications in Settings to get reminders for events you've saved. You can turn them off anytime.

The event info looks wrong, or the place is closed.

Listings come from local curators and can change. Always confirm with the venue directly. Found a mistake? Tap Help & Feedback in your Profile and let us know.
