No login?

Got an email saying download the app and login to see your tickets. There isn’t a “login” section, and clicking tickets just opens a browser page explaining how to buy tickets. Why would I want to do that!?

Festival fun

I was lucky enough to get a ticket for the whole thing from beginning to end, all 5 days of it last year and I paid the deposit for this year on the day I got back from the festival because I didn’t want to miss the experience of being there again for the five days this year. I had such an amazing time and I can’t wait to go back again this year. I went on my own and I am doing so again this year. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience an amazing time with people who are all about the music and will make it a holiday to remember for a lifetime

App trouble

Somehow the app doubled on my phone with an update and now I can’t sign into my created account so I’ve lost all my saved info.

It’s okay

It’s okay, android tend to get all the updates before iPhone, so iPhone users are actually just sat there for a week and a bit, just to get update on festivals while everyone else is enjoying the news. It’s frustrating, especially if you’re trying to work out your budget for food vendors

March review

The app is good, it’s creative and has good features. It has lots of things you can’t get on the other market apps.

DOWNLOAD

WHATS not to love I mean sometimes it's got bugs but still it's a download festival

Schedule is unusable due to truncation

App is ok but the schedule, which is the main reason we all use it, is now unusable. Most bands you can only see 2-3 characters of their name, in many cases ‘The…’. Come on devs, this is sloppy in the extreme and can’t believe you would release it with the opinion that it is useful.

Can't read the set times

Low contrast unreadable aqua font on a white background and zero disability options to increase contrast.

Only exists to track you and spam you with adverts

Horribly made app, all information should just be on the website but they hide it on the app so it can track your location and spam you with adverts, like getting notifications for buying pizzas at co-op.

App works horribly like it was made by a work experience kid, information that appeared was wrong and kept changing.

App constantly tracked location and killed my battery while on-site.

Even worse than last year

Poor information hierarchy; no schedule as such - you have go into stage and then artist to see start times. There’s no end times and no overview to see what’s happening at any stage at a given time. Impossible to plan this way; links open in a browser opening more and more tabs as you try to find anything. Awful.

No real purpose

Currently, the app is just a landing page with 4 buttons that just take you to a web page. There's no information actually stored in the app. Apparently there should be an interactive site map and full set times available but I can't find those and navigating using the buttons takes you to webpages, making the app redundant (I could search the website without it and if I'm in a field with no signal, it won't help me). Hopefully this is fixed in the next week, if so I would update my review, but currently I can't see it being that helpful.

Apps keeps crashing

No improvement from the last App

Pointless

Since the app just opens up the download website no matter what you click on, I’ll just use the website.

Not great

I’m a big fan of: - how the site map only shows the stages in a field, no stalls, no camps, no anything - the merch function advertised doesn’t show up anywhere - the schedule shows all bands playing on the day selected… no idea what time or where, but I know they will be some time that day…. Can’t even compare timeings like on clash finder All in all, not great …

Map broken

Fix the dam map it is broken

Get a grip please!

Finally, an update to the app with 2 weeks to go. Does it work? No!! Map only shows location of the stages. Unable to plan and coordinate with large groups in different parts of the festival site. Links send you to the website, not embedded in the app. Not much usable content. Come on - you can do better than this!

Where’s the map??

Some people have the map, some don’t. All I get is an Apple map with stages on top of it, no actual Download site map.

Bit of a downgrade from last years map.

Showing last years bands etc.

It’s 4 weeks till I go to download and it’s still showing all last years information on it, there seems to be a glitch as this years bands aren’t on it yet they’ve been announced.
