Usable schedule is not in the app
I downloaded the app thinking to would allow me to plan my visit and have a map of the fair.
The “schedule” they have only tells you the events the day of and only tells you of events happening in the next hour. So basically useless if you are going to see local kids dancing, rodeo shows, etc. the big concerts are listed, but that’s about it. My hope was to plan out my day at the fair the day ahead - this isn’t possible. There is not a “Schedule” on the menu (though it implies there should be). Just a scrolling banner at the bottom of the menu to see upcoming events in the next few hours.

Schedule lacks detail
I liked being able to see the event schedule for that day, but there were often no details. And it would be nice if we could see that event’s location on the map because many spots, like the livestock rings are not labeled on the map.
Good Start - Search is too limited
Many things in this app help me plan our visit. But search does NOT look at program details. A thorough Search is a big timesaver for such a widespread venue.
Hello! The 2019 fair is 3 weeks away
Might be nice to get the app ready don’t you think?
Great app
Great app! Couldn't have been more helpful for concerts and planning my trip to the California State Fair!! ❤️❤️❤️👍
It's pretty good on my iPhone 5 running 8.3
I read all the awful reviews, and almost didn't download the app. But then I thought why not --I'll give it a try. I got the picture with the black underneath, and thought everyone is right. I then found that if I didn't tap on the picture and just waited sure enough the app would go on and load up. I've created my schedule on the website and sent it to my phone pretty cool! I think the map will be handy as well. For me it was definitely worth downloading.

BUSTED APP.
Disappointing way to blow our tax money....
Not surprised really.

Disappointing
I have the same problem as everyone else. App won't open beyond welcome screen and crashes each time. Great idea but huge disappointment.
I did enjoy the reviews blaming the state of California for the failure of the app...I'm sure the state did not have a hand in designing the functionality.

Worst app I have ever gotten
Freezes on opening screen, closes itself down immediately. Does not work with an iPhone 4S (iOS 8.4) at all.
Terrible
Nothing works and the app crashes 99% of the time
Give me my life back
I can never get back the time it took to download and repeatedly attempt to open this app only to have it crash. This app will never give from you, only take. I award it a single star, and to the developers, may God have mercy on your souls.
California State Fair App
I downloaded the app and it didn't work! It just showed the Ferris wheel and the other Hal of the screen was black. That's all I saw
Just a pic
This is more words than what you can get by looking at this app's only feature- a pic. Next time have a California based company do your app. ;)
Made the fair more fun
Helpful to be able to see the schedule of all of the events and use the map to make the most of my time at the State Fair.
won't open
App won't open and I can't get the schedule to show online. Annoyed.
I hope the state of California didn't pay for this app
I hope the state of California didn't pay for this app. Useless and freezes.
Horrible
Worst app I've ever downloaded. Probably shouldn't have expected much from an app presumedly created by our lovely state. Don't even download it.
Good idea poor execution
Well it freezes and doesn't have anything loaded such as the food, shopping etc. I'll just look to the website like I did last year, hope they can get it together
App won't open
The app won't open on my phone. No help at all. :(
Map feature is useful
Just use the map feature. It tells you with pins where everything is.
