Iowa state fair fan
Iowa state fair is awesome. There is way too many people here though. Why is there so many scooters and strollers. They need a scooter day on the last day where everyone goes with scooters. Senior citizen day. Go get you a pickle dawg.
No event descriptions
Great to find items on the schedule, but not helpful if the title isn’t self explanatory
Iowa state fair app
I love this app as a showman at the Iowa state fair. If I am ever wondering a few or lot of questions they always have it!!
I do wish they had more info! But other than that, if you are ever planning on going to the Iowa state fair, you should get this app before hand!

Needs to fixed a better app
Current app didn’t show GPS Food Finder.. I don’t like it and I removed it. Unlikely few yrs ago.. it was great and easy to find. I wish they didn’t removed few years ago. Look at Minnesota app.. FairEats (Food Finder) show a map where to find by GPS. I see how many stars by reviews.
ADD “favorites” to filter view on map!
I want to see the map with JUST my favorites, the things I’ve plotted out, my food stops, my entertainment, my places, all in one place easy to view so I can plan my walk efficiently!
Otherwise, very good!

Constantly Closes
Great for seeing & planning what concerts you want to attend, including the free stages; however, the majority of the time when I try to use the app it closes abruptly. Annoying.
Fair 2023 updated
Great app to plan your visit—- so much info!
Clumsy
This app could be great. The map is not interactive so you select a place and you can’t go to the full details of the place you selected. Food side need to be better at navigating and searching. Would be great to be able to plan a day ahead of time with events and things you want to see with notifications on upcoming events.

App not working
This app is not working at all. Where is the app from Des Moines register that had all the events, locations, maps, and where we could plan and save our itinerary? That’s what we need.
Nice idea but doesn’t work
Map and search don’t work. Tried to search for “Quilts” but got “No Results”. Found a listing for a food vendor to try on the app tried to use the app’s map to tool, but it said “no location found”! ugh! What a waste of time!
Can’t access anything
I’m a first time fair goer and downloaded this to make the best use of my time at the fair. Once downloaded- all I got was a Home Screen with access to nothing.
Freezes
App opened only once. Deleted and reloaded - same - freezes and won’t load.
Perfect for information
I am a grandstand usher and use this app constantly to find the newest updates on the grounds
Nice, but not super helpful
It’s nice to be able to see the food offerings in advance and the prices, but if you don’t show us on the map where the booth is, what use is it? It appears a location code is given but it doesn’t correspond with the map in the app. Location 40295 doesn’t mean a thing to me - location G-12 would be much more helpful.

Leaves you wanting much more to the degree of frustration
The best feature of this app was the ability to see a live listing of events by location so you could see what was going on in real time. The map was just a static image like the printed brochure. What happened to the beacon and GPS technology? For me it was nowhere to be found in the app other than settings- making it useless to find things I was interested in without looking at the paper map. Why can’t it show me on the map where a particular vendor or activity is? Seems like there is potential for another year.

Clunky and annoying
It’s faster to find what’s happening in the paper or on the website itinerary.
The website itinerary widget is nice, so I downloaded this thinking it’d be the same, but nope.
When asked to sign up for notifications so I’d be told about changes in events and emergency warnings I thought “sure, sounds good.” However all I’ve seen so far is hype messages like “there’s nothing like the Iowa State Fair!” 🙄 I’m here, you don’t need to promote to me. Don’t waste my data unless necessary.
