### 2/5 — Poor colour choices

*2022-11-06*

The black colour doesn’t seem to make it possible to easily read it on the phone, the background and text become one

### 4/5 — Great App but sometime it’s crashed

*2021-11-28*

Easy to use, but please fix the crashed problem .

### 4/5 — Good app, streaming still a moderate debacle

*2021-11-23*

The app’s great, very useful, some minor tweaks would make it excellent. 

The challenge again this year is the streaming. It’s easier to get to, and that’s great. You can view using Safari on iOS devices, it says, but when you buy the tickets and go to do it - it doesn’t support the current release of iOS!!

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2021-02-28*

Only thing that would help is a self populating calendar.....

### 3/5 — Some excellent features some gaps

*2020-03-14*

Pros : date browsing , the look of it , the exchange feature. The digital tickets , being able to save these into the wallet feature on my iPhone. 

Cons : you can not browse without the date . Eg look via category such as look for lesbian movies 
 Using passes for two people at the same time is clumsy and annoying . 

The web option is far better .

### 1/5 — What a shocking app.

*2020-03-06*

Can’t log in to buy tickets. When you search by category it shows you last years film. Useless. Emailed them to tell them. Ignored. Shame. Worked well last year. Was a great app to buy tickets and plan the festival.

### 2/5 — Unable to use

*2020-03-01*

I’ve downloaded this app 3 times, twice it loaded with 2019 films, most recent download shows no films. I’ve deleted it each time before downloading again. I have an iPhone 5s on iOS 12.4.1

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-02-14*

Once you get the hang of it it is a brilliant app: it’s logical, has a couple of ways of looking at selections, and Ferve have done us a service by keeping it consistent from year to year. The only thing missing is an algorithm for detecting overlapping sessions or impossible venue to venue transitions. And it would be just perfect if it could make all the decisions for me!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2018-03-17*

Best app ever! Simple. Efficient and easy to use and navigate

### 5/5 — Handy scheduler

*2017-03-27*

I simply love using this app, it was quite handy to track daily movie screenings. One amazing feature is the ability to add ticket to Apple passbook right from the app!
