Hey everyone,

Over the past two weeks, Cinemapper.com has completely exploded. Hundreds of thousands of film fans flooded the map to explore movie locations around the world. As two independent founders, watching this community grow overnight has been surreal.

There’s just one unexpected plot twist: success almost broke our servers.

Our cloud hosting bill for this viral surge just landed, and it’s £2,000 due this Friday, August 7th.

We want to keep Cinemapper 100% free for everyone to discover and explore. We are mid development of the iOS and Andorid apps too (coming later this year - for free). But to keep the servers running through this traffic spike, we need a little help from our core community.

We’re launching the CineMapper Explorers Club, a simple, one-off £10 membership for life, to help us cover the server bill and keep CineMapper online.

Instead of asking for a monthly subscription, a single £10 contribution unlocks permanent perks:

  • 📲 VIP Mobile Access: Get instant access to our upcoming iOS & Android private beta apps today.

  • 🥇 Gold Founder Badge: An exclusive, permanent badge added to your Cinemapper profile.

  • 📜 Founders Wall: Your name permanently etched inside the app’s official credits screen.

  • 🚫 Ad-Free Forever: Enjoy a clean, uninterrupted mapping experience for life.

If Cinemapper has brought you value, saved you time, or helped you discover cool movie spots, joining the CineMapper Explorers Club today directly keeps our servers alive. Donations over £10 are accepted too.

Join the CineMapper Explorers Club (£10)

Thank you so much for being part of this wild ride, we couldn’t do any of this without you.

Best,

Tim & Izzy (CineMapper Founders)
