### 5/5 — Thank you for making this!

*2024-08-20*

To whomever made this app, I hereby bless you with burning man magic and you will have the best time of your life this year.

### 5/5 — Nice Interface

*2024-08-18*

Is the data downloading automatically? So we have it to use on the Playa?

### 5/5 — Rotate map

*2024-07-19*

When tilting phone! Landscape maps should fill screen when rotating phone.

### 5/5 — Incredible gift of an app!

*2024-07-03*

This is exactly ehat we needed. ♥️

### 5/5 — So helpful and long overdue!

*2024-06-25*

Finally have a single place where I can find everything in need to know for the event! A bug  I’m encountering is being unable to share events (the share button does nothing)

### 5/5 — Clean design and very functional.

*2024-06-17*

Used it for the Colorado Regional Burn. Even though there was no service on site, I still got reminders for the events I favored before the event. The map worked great too. I look forward to using the Dust app in Black Rock City this year and perhaps I’ll actually make it to more of the events I research ahead if time. LOL.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-05-07*

Accurate location tracking, and way easier than finding the WWWW board. I love being able to see exactly what’s going on in the moment. Immediacy! Easy to use and beautiful. I also like looking at regionals I haven’t been to yet, to see if I might like to attend. Love that the developer doesn’t collect any data or do any adds. Typical burner!

### 5/5 — Perfect for Burners

*2024-04-30*

This is the best burning man app available. I highly recommend for anyone thinking about going to a regional event.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-04-29*

Just returned from Saguaro Man and the Dust app was an incredibly helpful tool that made my burn all the better! From letting me know where I was to checking out various events and even getting directions to the event property, it was great! 
Our leads also found it extremely user friendly to keep updated.
Thanks for this app!

### 5/5 — Super useful

*2024-04-29*

For an app called dust, the aesthetic is incredibly clean and I love it. Very informative and intuitive. Made the event I attended (Saguaro Man) much easier to navigate. I would have been even more lost without it.

### 5/5 — Great app for Saguaro Man

*2024-04-29, version 2.13*

Super handy app for finding camps and events while at SagMan

### 5/5 — Saguaro Man’s Best Tool

*2024-04-29*

This incredibly well built app was intuitive, functional, and beautiful. It made navigating saguaro man about 1000x easier, it was so nice to be able to look at events that are happening right at any given moment. LOVE LOVE LOVE

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly iOS

*2026-06-24, version 2.125*

Crashes constantly iOS

### 1/5 — Great idea, sadly doesn’t work

*2025-05-06*

Doing anything, it keeps freezing and then closes and restarts.

### 1/5 — UI/UX fail

*2024-08-21, version 2.46*

Using iOS:
Location access approval button not visible, and cannot be clicked: drops below the screen.

So location, one of the main benefits, is unavailable.
Pl fix ASAP!

### 2/5 — Crashes far too often

*2026-02-05*

Well, I appreciate the effort put in by the participants who creates app, I’m gonna be blonde… It crashes way too often… In planning my first evening at Love Burn 2026, I’ve had the app crash at least 10 times.

### 4/5 — Did anyone else’s favorites get wiped out?

*2024-07-29*

Great design, but that happened and I’m worried I can’t rely on it anymore.

### 4/5 — Great, but missing our camp

*2024-07-24*

Love the design and functionality. But our official theme camp is missing from the database. How do we get it added?

I can’t find a way to report issues with the app in the app, or get to the developers website. 

Otherwise a great community app to help burners navigate the playa.

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2024-06-19*

Love that this can be used at regional events too! Would be really great though if users could add notes for themselves about friends, non-listed events, etc.

### 4/5 — Great app, but lacking one thing

*2024-06-01*

I love that i can find out about regionals around the world, but don't like that I have to download each event to even find out where it is. I think a map with all the general locations would be helpful. That or listings by geographic locations around the world. I appreciate the developers and that they don't harvest your personal info.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, I’ll see if I can add an alternative view of the regional list.

### 5/5 — Love it - but constantly shuts down and restarts

*2026-08-18*

Thanks so much for creating this app! My only constructive note is that the app shuts down and restarts every few minutes when I’m browsing through a long list of camps or events, so I then have to reopen it to the correct burn and then try to find my old spot and start over again. If this bug gets fixed, it will be perfection.

### 5/5 — Absolute game changer

*2025-07-28*

This app is genius. Has not impacted my immediacy at all…just gets me out of camp more!

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Best app for any burn

*2025-01-31*

All the features you could want and then some!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-09-14*

Was going to come leave a review to bring up the zoom bug where it would go back to the previous page but I just noticed you already patched it. Legend. No notes lol. Can’t wait for next year. Keep it up.

### 5/5 — The Perfect Playa App

*2024-09-10*

I’ve had other BRC apps and this is amazing. The location tracker helped me get out of an absolutely blinding whiteout during strike, the favorites are easily organized and helpful. Flawless. Thank you. (Note: the cat artwork is marvelous)

### 5/5 — Useful for navigation

*2024-09-09*

Useful for quick sense checking of locations you are trying to find

### 5/5 — 5 star Burn!

*2024-09-09*

Loved being able to save events I wanted to attended and to see things that were happening close to me in real time. Extremely useful app and I’m thankful to the team for gifting this app to us!

### 5/5 — Love the app. Saved my day

*2024-09-09*

I used your app for my first burn, I loved it, I really believe I would not have been able to see and so as many great things, with out it. Great search features.

### 5/5 — Found myself using this more than iBurn, would love to learn more

*2024-09-05*

Am a dev and would love to learn how this app works. Not seeing how to contact the dev team, but if they see this please reply to have a chat!

### 5/5 — useful features

*2024-08-22, version 2.48*

filtering by event categories and "near me" is so crucial! thanks for making this app :)
