### 3/5 — Not perfectly accessible using a screen reader

*2026-08-10*

Some buttons poorly labelled or not labelled at all and it's a difficult layout to navigate with VoiceOver on an iPhone

### 3/5 — Map keeps freezing

*2026-08-01*

Apps good but the map that just came out keeps freezing on me

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2025-08-08*

Way too much technical issues leave everyone frustrated. Then intended purpose is good but really frustrating.

### 5/5 — Boomtown

*2025-08-06*

Feels like home!

### 5/5 — Lioness

*2025-07-31, version 5.4.0*

Boomtown forever!

### 5/5 — NEEDS ANOTHER IMPORTANT FUNCTION

*2025-07-30*

Amazing app for the festival the only thing I would add is a list view of the timetable but to only show the artists you’ve favourited so you can see the clashes you have more easily

### 1/5 — Won't let me log in

*2025-06-10*

App will not let me log in whatsoever. Tried in different devices. Just get stuck in loading screen with my email

### 1/5 — Doesn’t refresh?

*2025-04-24*

It’s been over a month now and I can’t get the app to refresh. No hidden woods lineup on the app. Can’t get the chats to update from over a month ago. How do I fix??

### 5/5 — I LOVE BOOMTOWN 😄

*2025-03-03*

Great app that connects people for the best festival ever! 🌈🦋🩷

### 3/5 — A mixed bag

*2024-10-10*

This app reminds me of my girlfriend. It’s the only person I get more than 5 notifications a day from, it’s constantly asking me for more money and encourages me to rush into booking things.

First off Boomtown festival itself is 5* best place on earth and the app is much better than the last 2 years (probably because the festi has half decent WiFi now). 

Whoever promoted Boomtown at Drumsheds Halloween event, did you forget to tell the Boomtown artists? Probably wouldn’t have bought the ticket you told me get 24/7 if I’d of known you hadn’t told any of the Drums artists.
