Would love it if there was an option to save events on a ‘want to go’ list and directly add things to a calendar from the app if that’s possible though! ### 4/5 — It's finally really good! *2023-08-10, version 5.0.3* I use Headfirst all the time - it was always a bit buggy but it looks like all my gripes have been fixed 🙌 love the new saved events feature ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-11-27, version 3.0* Clearly the best ticket-selling platform in Bristol. It’s easy use, low booking fees and Harry is always willing to help if there is a problem! ### 5/5 — Happy camper *2018-10-17, version 3.0* My go to app to find out what’s on in Bristol. As someone who uses their ticketing system for my events, I love the attention to detail. Top marks ### 5/5 — Corey Miller *2018-08-08, version 3.0* Would highly recommend to any one in Bristol. Easy to use and trusted recommendations ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-08-08, version 3.0* Love this app, probably one of my most used. Extensive listings of gigs in Bristol and with a super user friendly interface. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Big Ups to Headfirst *2018-07-19, version 3.0* Thank you Headfirst for a user friendly app where I can see everything that is on in Bristol ! Great stuff:) ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2018-03-21, version 3.0* We have used this app to sell and manage our ticket sales for over a year in Bristol. As previous users of Resident Advisor - we cannot recommend this app enough! Hats off to all the team at Headfirst. ### 5/5 — The go to app for events in Bristol *2018-03-14, version 3.0* I’ve been going to headfirst to explore music events in the city for over 4 years now. Easily the most comprehensive events guide in the south west. The app is super handy and feels great. Would recommend ### 5/5 — Really *2018-03-02, version 3.0* Amazing app / website. A force for good in the Bristol music scene. ### 5/5 — Brilliant everything *2018-02-14, version 3.0* Everything about this entire app and company is superb, would only ever recommend Headfirst ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage. *2024-10-28, version 5.0.3* Won’t let me register either under phone number or email. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Most annoying event app I know *2021-12-08, version 4.0* The filter for events isn’t working, for example if I select only one genre they still show other stuff. Also the bar to swipe up from iOS is on top of the shop and calendar symbol. It gives me the impression that they didn’t invest a lot of money in that app.. ### 1/5 — Can’t ever get it to work to pay for tickets *2020-02-12, version 3.0* I can never buy tickets via this app on my phone - I have a really new phone so can’t be an old tech issue - it just always freezes and I can’t get to the payments screen. I always have to log onto a desktop which is annoying and means I miss out on a lot of tickets! ### 1/5 — Would be great if it actually worked *2018-11-22, version 3.0* So user unfriendly, keeps crashing. Hard to search stuff as the app is slow. Needs a lot of work ### 2/5 — Difficult to use *2022-05-14, version 4.0* This looks like it might be good but it is not accessible. It has the smallest text of any app I have ever used. There’s no way of increasing the text - neither by turning the phone horizontally or pinching to zoom which is disabled in the app. It makes almost unusable for a lot of people. Can this be addressed as it excludes a lot of people without perfect eyesight. ### 2/5 — Seems a bit glitchy *2019-04-02, version 3.0* A bit tricky to navigate but while I was reading it would switch back to the first screen. The back button also disappeared at one point. Decent listings. If only I could read them properly ### 2/5 — Half-arsed *2018-11-08, version 3.0* The listings are OK, but I hate being forced to buy tickets on this app. It continually signs you out, leaving you standing at the venue trying to log in to get your ticket. The worst app of its type I’ve used. The website is glitchy too. Hope it gets better, but it’s not there yet. Also, don’t bother contacting the developer with questions - they won’t reply. ### 2/5 — Poor navigation *2018-05-07, version 3.0* It's got a good number of listings, but I hate using the app. You can't filter by day, and everytime you go into a listing and back out again, it takes you right to the start of the list. So if I want to see what's going on next weekend and I click on a listing, I have go back the way through all the listings coming up in the week to the place I was. Please fix this! ### 2/5 — Needs better search/navigation *2012-01-22, version 1.0* Thanks for doing the app. I would use this religiously if it was easier to look for what is just being announced, and/or search by date. Starting with today and going forward day by day makes this too hard. I went onto settings after browsing forward a few days and couldn't get back. Hope you take this as constructive feedback. You have the data to be awesome. ### 3/5 — Great Site but app needs more features *2021-11-04, version 4.0* Good app when you’re using it but I’d like to see something like: - push notifications for events added at user selected certain venues / genres. - push notifications for when those tickets go on sale etc 💕 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2025-06-13, version 5.0.3* Doesn’t have everything, but I can’t believe a city of only a 1 million people has such a good what’s on app ### 5/5 — Best bristol guide *2024-04-04, version 5.0.3* Easy to use and is the best list of gigs, club nights and performances in Bristol. If I want to find out what’s on I always use Headfirst. Tickets are easy to buy, the booking fee is always less than other places and I love that donations are made to local causes. ### 5/5 — ❤️Headfirst *2024-04-04, version 5.0.3* Brilliant app, easy to use and navigate the interface with faff-free log in and payment. Also an added bonus of being an ethical business with booking fees donated to charity. Always the first place I go for tickets for events in Bristol! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2022-05-02, version 4.0* This is my go-to app when planning a night out in Bristol. It has loads of live music, art events, and clubnights for every day of the week. It’s a little glitchy at times, but I don’t mind because of how good the content is!! Just close the app and reopen and you’ll be fine :) ### 5/5 — The best events app *2020-11-02, version 4.0* The most user friendly and cohesive events app - support local! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-10-18, version 4.0* So much better since the update! The interface is fast and responsive and doesn’t crash no matter how many gigs I load. ### 5/5 — You know what’s going *2019-04-21, version 3.0* Great Bristol App ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-03-12, version 3.0* Headfirst supports independent promoters doing their thing in Bristol and is an asset to the scene! Where would we be without the app! ### 5/5 — Must have app for music lovers in Bristol *2018-11-28, version 3.0* Headfirst is the reliable source for gig listings in Bristol. A nice clean interface, easy to find events by day but also good for exploring and finding things to look forward to in the future. ### 5/5 — Place to go for Bristol’s best music *2018-11-27, version 3.0* Have been using this app for years now, can rely on finding something top quality every weekend and editors picks are bang on - must have if you’re into your music and art in Bristol! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
