Au top !👌 ### 5/5 — Au top ! *2026-06-08* Enfin une appli qui regroupe plusieurs festivals, simple d’utilisation et avec beaucoup de fonctionnalités (partage avec ses potes, écouter des extraits de titres des groupes …). Je recommande ! **Developer response:** Merci Romarock 🙏 ### 5/5 — Très bon outil *2026-02-19* Merci pour cette proposition. Cela permet de choisir les festivals et leurs contenus ! **Developer response:** Merci Chrolley 🤘 J'espère que vous avez pu profiter des mises à jour que nous avons mis en place depuis votre commentaire (Discovery machine, niveau d'attente, etc...) ### 5/5 — Indispensable pour tout festivalier ! *2025-08-28* Application indispensable en festival, à une époque où l’on distribue moins de running order papier (ce qui est un très bon point) et parfait pour retrouver les potos ! **Developer response:** Merci pour le soutien et d'avoir pris le temps de laisser un commentaire !!🙏 ### 5/5 — Enfin on sait où sont nos potes ! *2025-08-13* Purée depuis le temps qu’on attendait ça ! Merciii pour cette appli. Deux choix «A ne surtout pas louper» ou «A voir éventuellement» seraient encore plus judicieux. Ainsi que l’indication du pays d’origine du groupe. Autre question : pourquoi certains les groupes n’ont pas le lien vers leur page Spotify alors qu’ils en ont une ? En tout cas une chouette application qui nous servira régulièrement car avec les potos, on ne va pas toujours voir les mêmes concerts mais on aime bien se retrouver pour boire une petite bière 😄 **Developer response:** Bonjour, Merci pour ce commentaire super positif 🤘 Nous sommes en train de travailler sur les 2 choix que vous proposez, ça arrive dans la prochaine mise à jour. Pour le pays d'origine du groupe, on va voir si on peut récupérer l'information. Nos fiches artiste sont récupérées sur https://musicbrainz.org/, c'est une base de données communautaire sur laquelle tout le monde peut contribuer. S'il y a un lien Spotify sur MusicBrainz pour l'artiste qui vous intéresse, alors il sera dans Jay. ### 5/5 — Très bonne appli *2025-08-12* Appli bien pensée pratique Claire efficace. **Developer response:** Merci Sundaeboo 😍 ### 5/5 — Meilleur appli pour les festivals *2025-06-28* Découverte pour le Graspop, et conseillé à mes amis pour différents festivals. Permets de se retrouver facilement sur le site, retrouver ses amis, planning pour les groupes que l’on a en favori , voir ceux de nos amis, playlist , bref le top du top !!! Mérite d’être vraiment connu !!! ### 5/5 — Au top ! *2025-06-18* Super appli créée par et pour des festivaliers et ça se sent ! Rien à redire ! Perso mon festival n’était pas encore dessus, un petit mail et 3h après c’était réglé ! Réactivité, professionnalisme et gentillesse au rendez-vous ! ### 5/5 — L’application incontournable *2025-06-18* Excellente application pour retrouver tes amis en festival, sans cramer ta batterie. Surtout parfois sans réseau disponible. Merci !!! ## Frequently asked questions about Jay ### What festivals does Jay support?
