I set a few favorites and can’t see them when I need them. I have done some screen shots. Hopefully that will help tomorrow. ### 4/5 — Better, but still needs work… *2022-04-24, version 12.6.0* The app is useful, but the design is weird. The main page has music and artists as separate icons/buttons but not on the same portion of the page, and the “My Fest” button should be in the dock, not on the main page. Also, the Map should have an illustration of where everything is located with walking/access paths. The overlay with “Google Maps” is fine, but not very clear where the entrances are and how to navigate from one stage to the next, or concessions and such. Confusing choices for navigation, but overall the app works decently… ### 2/5 — Needs Work *2019-04-14, version 10.2* This app has potential but needs work. I think its pretty well organized and easy to navigate but as Evelyn pointed out the My Fest function has a bug which causes your favorites to disappear which is endlessly frustrating because that’s how we were planning out our day. Also it would be nice if you were able to adjust screen to make font bigger as it’s pretty small. And it would be great if there were more/better descriptions of the music. Hopefully the kinks can be worked out. This great festival is worthy of a better app. ### 3/5 — Won’t save favorites *2019-04-12, version 10.2* This app looks nice and it does make it easy to see what shows are going on each day. The food vendor list with menu items is handy too. But, it has a serious bug that makes your favorites disappear. Twice now I’ve gone in and starred shows and food and then I reopened the app later to check my schedule or food that saved, and it was all gone. Disappointing! ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2018-04-12, version 9.6* This app should be pretty simple. Will not load the map for stage location. What’s the point of using it? ### 1/5 — Disappointed in 2018 update! *2018-04-11, version 9.6* There are no maps shown in 2018 update and the artist listing is inaccurate. Use to be such a useful app! ### 1/5 — App crashes on startup *2018-04-04, version 9.4* Doesn't work. When I tap on app it immediately goes to blank white screen. Would have been a very useful app to have if it actually worked. Any chance of fixing it before the festival? I have an iPhone SE with iOS 9.3 ### 1/5 — What happened? *2017-04-09, version 7.5.1* I have used this app the last few years for the FQF. Not sure who is in charge of the app this year, but it's pretty pitiful. Lots of missing and incorrect info. ### 1/5 — Does not work!!!! *2017-04-08, version 7.5.1* Last year this was a great app😊😊😊 This year the iOS version crashes on startup 😳😭 ### 2/5 — It kinda works but needs updating bad *2017-04-07, version 7.5* I fire this up every year. It needs help bad. The fonts on the events page are too hard to differentiate between days and the times. The schedule should be linked to the map. The schedule should be sortable and when clicked through just add he map on the full page when you click an item. The map should let you open maps and gps. Please pay someone to update this and make it work better. ### 3/5 — Useful for locals *2017-04-06, version 7.5* App is a great idea but makes a lot of assumptions about local knowledge. A few things would make it great for visitors: - contact info or form for suggestions - when you click on a restaurant or performer, have the option to "show where on map" - more food categories like alcoholic beverage, non-alcoholic bev, sweets, seafood, ethnicities, etc - provide info on type of music, would be great to search on jazz, zydeco, rock, Cajun, etc. ### 1/5 — Creates a large vacuum! *2017-04-06, version 7.5* Maps for stage locations don't load. App does not rotate. If you look by artist, stage location is not there. ### 3/5 — Schedule seems to be off 1 day *2017-04-06, version 7.5* Your schedule does not match the website. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor. Events tab not functioning. *2024-04-13, version 18.6.0* What every fest attendee wants is a schedule from which they can choose the events they want to attend and save those off into their own personal schedule. The events tab hangs every time and never opens, so the app is essentially useless. Disappointing. Hoping for improvement in 2025. ### 1/5 — Make it simple *2023-04-13, version 14.9.1* One easy to find button on front page, hit and get day schedule by stage, artist and time. Make the cubes front center and easy to find. Throw away stage map. Totally useless. ### 1/5 — Current version not working for iOS *2019-04-11, version 10.2* The schedule, artists, stages and food vendors lists will not show on my app. My friend downloaded the app on his android and it’s working perfectly. It is not working on my iPhone! Help! ### 1/5 — Blank screen *2019-04-11, version 10.2* On the opening day of the fest, the app is completely blank. ### 1/5 — Most useless app ever *2019-03-08, version 9.8* How useless is an app that will only let you join the mailing list and nothing else? Thanks for nothin. ### 1/5 — Join a mailing list then nothing *2019-03-07, version 9.8* Hopefully this app will be fixed soon. Traveling to visit the festival ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2019-03-06, version 9.8* It never lets you get past the Join Mailing List screen. C’mon man. ### 1/5 — Is it functional? *2019-03-01, version 9.8* No navigation or activity on the app - Why make it available if it doesn’t work yet? ### 1/5 — search is broke *2018-04-13, version 9.6* The search feature doesn’t work. Ex: input “crabmeat” and get no results. Yet I can manually find a vendor with an item that begins with “crabmeat”. C’mon guys, hire some real programmers. ### 1/5 — Worthless App *2018-04-12, version 9.6* The map won’t load. When you put in an artist’s name in search nothing happens... at all! This app is useless. Basically all you need is a good map of all the stages and the line up of all the artists By STAGE! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2024-04-11, version 18.3.0* It has all the information I am looking for readily accessible and easy to navigate. I am literally obsessed with this app. Great job to the young people at Operation Spark! ### 5/5 — Well organized *2022-04-23, version 12.6.0* App well organized and makes tons of sense. ### 5/5 — No longer lost *2019-04-12, version 10.2* The map is soooo helpful! I have no sense of direction ### 5/5 — Great App To Party *2019-03-22, version 10.0* Best app ever. If you wanna find food and find a good time download this app. There’s no place like NOLA baby. ### 5/5 — Was great for 2018, but now.... *2019-03-11, version 9.8* We used this app every day for the 2018 FQF, I liked that it gave detailed info regarding the artists since they are local talent. Have been trying to plan my days for 2019, but app doesn’t seem to be up & running for 2019! Hope they get it figured out, will find myself lost without it!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-04-14, version 9.6* Very useful, I look forward to using it again tomorrow! ### 5/5 — Adorable Cute! *2018-03-04, version 9.0* This app is awesome! Love the UI- very user friendly. Can’t wait to use it this year.Yeah u rite! ### 5/5 — Much better! *2017-04-01, version 7.4* The new update is great! No crashing, and all of schedules dates look correct. ### 5/5 — Sooooooo excited *2017-03-30, version 7.3.0* Minor bugs but I know you all can fix them. Soo excited to use the app at the fest. whoooooo Datttt! ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-04-15, version 7.2* Great App. Very useful!! I look forward to using it again next year --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
