It just says to reload and nothing happens. ### 5/5 — ArtsWave App! Asset to the region 🌟 *2024-11-22* Having arts, entertainment, sports and more right on my phone is amazing. This is my new go-to app when I’m feeling tired or stressed to plan a fun activity. And the ArtsWave member benefits rock! Who doesn’t like discounts at the best restaurants and coffee shops in Cincy? Most of all, I feel proud supporting our thriving arts community. Thanks, ArtsWave! ### 1/5 — Better online *2024-11-01* This new app takes a very easy-to-use, existing online listing (Cincy A&E, formerly ArtsWave Guide) and puts it into a clunky app that is difficult to navigate, save favorites and itineraries, use any of the filters without the app crashing, and makes the event descriptions difficult to read by erasing the original formatting and links from the online listing. I know this is brand new, and hope it improves over time. Love the idea, but could use a lot of work. For now, I’ll stick to the web browser. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for the issues you encountered. We reviewed our crash reports and didn't detect any issues, so we'd love to connect to understand more about your experience and navigation concerns. Please reach out to us at info@artswave.org—we want to ensure everything is working smoothly for you and we are offering the best experience possible. Thank you for helping us improve! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-10-26* I’ve been an ArtsWave member for multiple years … the transition to the new app has made it impossible to purchase tickets. The app crashes. Lists events that aren’t accurate. Won’t allow me to log in. And now the ArtsWave website apparently only allows you to purchase items through the app, which doesn’t actually work!? Not sure I’ll continue to support the organization … particularly given that money donated to support arts organizations likely went to support this poorly designed app that lacks basic functionality. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for the trouble you're having with the app. You should be able to create an account, log in, and purchase tickets seamlessly, and we aim to provide accurate event information. We’d love to connect to learn more about your experience and hear which event had inaccurate details so we can work with the organization to update it promptly. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@artswave.org—thank you for helping us improve! ### 5/5 — Every event you can think of in Cincinnati *2024-10-16* I’ve never seen an app like this that has so many events listed in one place. Just on October 16 when looking at the events, there are over 24 events in the city listed here. Great resource. ### 5/5 — A Cincinnati Calendar! *2024-10-08* The App was easy to understand and use. I love that I can see ALL the events in Cincinnati in one place… who knew Cincinnati had so much to offer?!? Also I love that I can get benefits with the App for money off events and food! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-10-06* It is so great to be able to see what is going on in the city all in one place. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-10-04* It’s so great to have all the information for entertainment options in one place! I look forward to using it all the time! ### 5/5 — A bunch of deals! *2024-10-04* Love that there are a ton of deals in here. My local coffee shop is in there! Also makes going out to theater and stuff more affordable and easier to plan. Love it! ### 5/5 — Finally everything all in one place *2024-10-04* Really happy to see an app that brings together so many events and the arts community. No more random internet searches to find stuff to do around Cincinnati! ## Frequently asked questions about ArtsWave ### What is ArtsWave Pass?
