Basic features fails to work
Seems ok but…
Not as good as the Ekka website.
MyDay doesn’t work
Still buggy?
Response from developer
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we're really sorry to hear you're having trouble. We’ve run extensive testing across a wide range of devices and haven't been able to reproduce the issue with the “Add to My Day” or Event Finder features. Everything appears to be working as expected, so it’s possible there was a temporary glitch, connectivity issue, or something device-specific at play. We’re continuing to monitor closely and always welcome more detail if you're willing to share. You can reach out to our support team who would love to help resolve this for you. We’re always working to improve the app and appreciate your feedback.
App
Love the features . The Goldie sheep part of it is malfunctioning. When I am home, suddenly I'll receive a message that GOLdie is near by! If only Goldie was nearby at the ekka so I could have a chance of winning a showbag!
Response from developer
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! Glad you love the features. We will most certainly look into what is happening with Goldie and her pesky notification for next years Ekka!
Serviceable but missing some key features
Response from developer
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. You've highlighted an important area for improvement regarding how events are searched and displayed in the app. We understand the convenience of being able to search for events across all days and see how this feature would significantly enhance planning your visit. Your suggestion for a more flexible event search feature is excellent, and we'll definitely consider implementing this in future updates. We're always looking to make the app more user-friendly and valuable to our attendees. Thanks again for your insightful review!
Fine but clunkier than necessary…
Response from developer
We truly appreciate your insights, which are invaluable as we aim to enhance the app's usability each year. Your comments regarding the password input and adding items to the itinerary have been noted. We're sorry for any frustration this has caused and are actively looking into ways to streamline these processes, especially for adding showbags, rides, and food to an uncommitted list of activities. Thanks again for your feedback. We hope to deliver a smoother experience in future updates and wish you a fantastic day at Ekka 2024!
Seems like a good tool for Ekka
What update??
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the map function hasn’t met your expectations. We’ve enhanced it this year to let you tap ‘View on Map,’ then ‘Directions’ and ‘Start’ to guide you directly. The full functionality will be ready by the start of Ekka, accommodating last-minute vendor updates. We appreciate your patience and value your input to improve the Ekka experience.
Clunky interface - not useful
The developers should look at the app for Woodford Folk Festival, which has functional search features and lets you easily schedule each day at an event that has many more venues and events on the program.
Need planner organized by times
Useless
Unusable
Can’t filter by location of event.
No visual difference between events running on multiple days and not. We have to try to tap on each day to see if the event is running on that day.
Too much effort spent on VR rubbish. Insufficient spent on actually helping people plan their day.
Cannot Login
No way to find anything based on time
The EKKA (Exhibition)
One thing I think would be a cool feature was a system to create your dog avatar with customisable ears and awesome tails and whatnot. Maybe even romance Milo? Great app, had a super time 👍
Wasted opportunity for a good app
When you click view map from an event, it doesn’t always highlight where you need to go.
Not all locations are listed on the map (and as the search doesn’t work well, it was challenging to use this effectively).
Other similar theme park apps automatically drop your saved events in timeline order or suggest an “ideal” order of the day based on your selections. This saves having to click into each event to see the times - even just having the next time something is on showing on the search / saved list could be better.
Live updates to time delays could also be useful, given the first night EKKAnites was more than an hour late and the individual times noted didn’t match up or seem to allow for the opening ceremony - which wasn’t listed at all!
Clearly a lot of dev went into the app to get it to the point it is, there is a lot of opportunity to make it more effective.
Barely works
Major locations such as the Main Stage weren’t even on the map
Great for Tech Savy peeps
I wish there’s a more user-friendly timetabling to organize the activities. Would be so much better to see the whole schedule of a particular date in a timeline chart.
