Full of bloat
Required too much personal data just to access a map for the day.
Not great
Select the day you want to go and it shows you everything anyway. Not great to plan your day
Some great new features
The new app has some really helpful things. I’ve used the day builder to plan my family’s multiple Ekka days! Got all the showbags sorted for the kids and all the food places we wanna visit. I like the easy search categories that scroll along the top. Can’t wait for show day!
Basic features fails to work
Add to my Day doesn’t work which was the key feature of this App, as a user.
Seems ok but…
Why does the app even need a username and password? This is just unnecessary tracking of PII.
Not as good as the Ekka website.
If you try and save something to ‘My Ekka’, it doesn’t work and doesn’t not appear. Also searching for an activity or show bag works better on the website than the app, which brings different and irrelevant results to what you are trying to search for.
MyDay doesn’t work
MyDay won’t let you add individual timed events, only the ones that go all day. Just be an error?
Still buggy?
Immediately right away the event finder & “add to my day” function isn’t working or using the “+” button next to for example a ride, a showbag or an item to add it to your Ekka. It loads, then displays right back to the same symbol (+ remains a +) and doesn’t add to your day / itinerary. Still such a poorly done, bug riddled, average app that honestly has all the potential in the world to be a really good app. Disappointed for another year. Maybe less effort on AR/AI for kids and more on actual native FRs that the majority of the app user group will be looking to utilise.

App
Great 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!

Serviceable but missing some key features
The app is fine for people that know what day they are going and want to see what’s on, but there is no way to see what days things are on other than going into each day and searching. It would be better to have an option to search for events across all days. For example, what days are sheep dog trials on?3 or what day should I go if I want to see showjumping?

Fine but clunkier than necessary…
After getting past the fact the app doesn’t accept automatic password input or even pasting, which is frustrating when many of us now use modern password managers with complicated passwords, it was definitely a nicer interface than expected. Unfortunately, there are some needlessly clunky features that make simple additions to plans take a few steps more than they should. Most notably, these relate to having to choose a date and time to add things like showbags, rides and food, when you’d expect those and other all day, anytime wish list items to be added to a simple, uncommitted list of things to do. Then, when you do add something, the acknowledgment says it’s “already” added, implying the attempt was a double up. Events also default to the first date offered, rather than acknowledging the date for which we have tickets. It is what it is but it could be so much better. Here’s hoping things can be streamlined next year and follow a more logical UI.

Seems like a good tool for Ekka
I've been able to schedule my day easily. It should be super helpful if everything functions as planned on the day. The kids are already enjoying taking photos with the sheep, and we're looking forward to finding the rest of them at the event.
What update??
The map function is terrible and pretty much useless. Not sure how it’s been updated.
Clunky interface - not useful
I’ve just spent half hour trying to find out what’s on and schedule my day but the interface is like something from the 80s - far too clunky. I’m deleting the Ekka app.
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
Good map, but app is let down by not being able to add or sort/organize events and activities by time. Not actually helpful for planning your day.
Useless
Cannot filter what’s on by kids events. Cannot sort by performance time. Cannot link directly to location on map. Cannot search “main stage” on map. Absolutely useless
Unusable
Doesn’t allow pasting of usernames/password. Unusable for anyone with a password manager (which should be you, dear reader).
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
There is no ability to login with the password. You have to manually type this in this is unacceptable. Takes no account for blind users. He is the auto fill click feature. I’ll be reporting this app to Apple to see if it violates Apple’s terms of service with accessibility
No way to find anything based on time
Map is great but no way to find out what is coming up at what time on the day you are here without searching for an event and then clicking through all the results to find the one on your day. This app is pretty useless for actually finding out what’s on when you need to.
The EKKA (Exhibition)
Had a great day out at the EKKA (Exhibition). Milo is such a good dog, i just couldn’t stop laughing (I know I’m a softy :P).
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 👍
