Useless app
The app supposedly updated 2 weeks ago for 2025..app still states all of the info for merchants and food is still old from 2024. This review is written 2 days before the 2025 fair. Not a surprise considering who is running the State as a whole into the ground.
Pretty shoddy to say the least.

Okay, could use updating
The Daily Schedule is easier to scroll/search through vs the website, but when you click an event, it shows the incorrect day. Starting at 7 pm it lists the date and day as the next day, which is incorrect. It could be a time zone setting your webmaster needs to fix.
The app would also benefit from a main grand stage grouping and/or an event type filter, i.e. music.
Also, the “app support” link in the App Store only goes to the website, not actual web support. (And the contact us on the website doesn’t work, at least not on mobile. Hence the low rating and review to communicate these issues.

Mediocre
Fire whoever’s cousin designed this app. Horrible. Never complete. Never accurate. And don’t have a category like “specials” if there are NO specials. JB, please throw some money at this problem and let’s have a great app for a great fair.
Worst app for a fair
Few of the items listed have a location or show where the event is taking place. Also, some of the events (Illinois wine, ARCA race) are not on the schedule. ARCA race should be under Grandstand events, but you can’t even do a search to find it.
Missing info
In feedback Miller tent in schedule not there. Free shows does not tell for all where they are located. Food does not tell what vendor has it?
Photobooth
The photobooth needs to allow for not only right now moments, but any photos from the fair from your camera roll. You may not have time to post to the app right away, so give the option. Plus how about a photo album to see shared pics
Very nice app from this team
This app is good for keeping up with the events I'm interested in as well as helping me locate the right venue. Also get timely updates an notifications sent to the phone.
Great Important App
The app is great. Let's you navigate and enjoy the full experiance at the fair. During the storms on Friday this app paid for itself by providing important real time safety information that kept people safe. Great job for a first State Fair app.
App
I love this app. Has everything I need to know. Thanks AG
A good start- but incomplete
It is a good start, but incomplete as far as the competitions and results are concerned. It does not include all of the departments listed in the published general premium book. If you are going to publish an app, then please make sure it is complete.
Illinois State Fair
This app. has it all. You will definitely want this app. to help you navigate and see all that is going on at the Illinois State Fair.
So much to see, WOW!
This app has me really excited to go to the fair this year! Just clicking on the schedule and going day-by-day makes you realize how much is going on at the fair. Liked how I can sort by free shows in different categories. The map has so many locations, I like how you can sort the different locations at the top of the map, should be really useful this year. Also I like the search icon on the homepage where I can type in almost anything like foods and it brings it up, so I can find it by GPS!
