### 1/5 — Not worth the 99 cents

*2021-09-03*

If it would guide to the food source or even show a map. But it just tells what food is there.  And mostly you can tell that in the name.

### 1/5 — Fair food ?

*2020-08-16*

I downloaded this so according to the star and Tribune newspaper I can find fair food around the town in Minnesota all this does is give me a map of the fair which is closed what junk

### 1/5 — Not friendly

*2018-08-27*

This app is only good if you know exactly what food you’re looking for.  If you’re not familiar with the fair and want to know what is offered or if you’re at the fair and want to know want is in the general vicinity then this app will not help you. Not worth the $.99

### 2/5 — Not good for much.

*2019-09-03*

Only works if you know the exact name of the booth you want.

### 3/5 — Good app, could use a few improvements

*2021-08-28*

This is a really cool app, but it could use a few improvements. It would be awesome if it included a list of all the places you have on your list (and not just the main list) and if it allowed you to have more than 25 items on your list. Also, when you search for a stall/booth, the button to cancel is right where the button to clear all of the items off of your list, so it would be great if you moved that, because I’ve accidentally cleared my list twice now 🥴

### 3/5 — Helpful but not

*2021-08-24*

This is the closest to the old state fair app which I miss so much. Similarly it maps out your favorite destinations. It only has food though and is limited to 25 places. Which is sort of useless. But better than nothing. The app put out my the official state fair allows you to star favorites but has a generic map. And you have to go into each place to see it on the map. Someone should step up and make something better.

### 3/5 — Good, but needs photos and prices

*2019-08-29*

This easy to use app allows you to search for foods, read a description, and maps directions. Pretty nice.  The downside is It is missing photos of the food and prices.  Seems like these would have been easy to add. I’d hate to walk to a destination only to find it doesn’t appear appetizing or the price point doesn’t match my interest in the item offered.

### 4/5 — Great app however

*2025-08-14*

I love this app prep it every year before the fair as a food checklist. However i have more than 50 places to go and it limits you to 50.

### 4/5 — Easy to quickly find food

*2018-07-28*

Cute simple app. Much easier to use than the paper Fair maps if you know what food you want. Each stand also has a description that lists their main items.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2023-08-28*

This app gives you just what you need to find the food you want, and to discover what's new at the fair this year (2023). The real-time map puts you in-step to get where you're going.

### 5/5 — awesome source

*2023-08-27*

this makes finding the food we all love so much easier than just taking a shot in the dark with a PDF of the map!

### 5/5 — Thank you for making this!

*2023-08-24*

Where has this app been my whole life?! Kidding…but seriously, this app makes it so much easier to plan the food and drink routes at the state fair. I love that it gives a detailed list of all the new food/drink items at each location and then maps out the best route to hit all the ones on your list. The only thing that would make it better is if after each location was check-marked they can be put into a segregated list of their own and you can check mark which items from each place you had been interested in. No matter what though, I am so grateful for this and want to high-five the creators! Nice work.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2018-08-17*

So excited to use this at the fair this year. Love that it has all of the foods for the 2018 season. I always get turned around and can’t wait to hit all of the food stands. #priorities

### 5/5 — Everyone needs this app!

*2018-08-11*

Every fair goer needs this app!  You will not miss out on anything you want to eat at the fair!

### 5/5 — Easy way to find your favorites

*2018-08-11*

This will be a great way find to various foods while wandering the MN State Fair! It is easy to use and clear to follow!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-08-11*

This is a great app, and definitely is useful while at the state fair. Finding all the various food stands/dinners used to be a hassle for me (I always get turned around at the fair grounds) but this app makes it so easy to find anything. Highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Great for senior citizens!

*2018-08-10*

Search “2018” to see all the new foods at the fair.  Great added feature! And easy to use to find all your favorites!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-08-09*

It’s fun watching the app map out your route.  And for those of us who are directionally challenged, navigating the fairgrounds will be a breeze!
