### 5/5 — Best MN State Fair App

*2025-08-23, version 1.0.14*

Without question the best app available for navigating the fair. Nice search feature, easy to use. Well done!

### 5/5 — Best App

*2025-08-22, version 1.0.14*

I absolutely love this app, it’s so much easier to use than the actual state fair app. It has a map which clearly maps out your favorites which is very nice. 10/10 app would download again.

### 5/5 — Best MN fair app!

*2025-08-20, version 1.0.14*

As an avid fairgoer, this is my new favorite thing each year! My usual notes app doesn’t stand a chance when I can favorite my locations and individual foods in this app! The map is such a handy tool for newbies and pros alike. Huge thanks to the creator of MN on a Stick.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-08-19, version 1.0.12*

It's almost like a scavenger hunt for adults

### 5/5 — Best app for the state fair

*2025-08-18, version 1.0.12*

Imo this is the app you should download for the fair. User friendly and great features, all the info you need like menu and location and easy to navigate!

### 5/5 — Fair goers f’n need this

*2025-08-17, version 1.0.12*

Been using this for 2 years now, simply awesome the one thing I wish it had was a way to write custom check lists for things to do at the fair, we love doing all kinds of side things that aren’t covered by the app, otherwise perfect!

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2025-08-08, version 1.0.11*

Loved using this app last year. I’m a planner so can’t wait for the 2025 updates

### 5/5 — Best app of last year

*2025-07-10, version 1.0.10*

Was able to prep and map every state fair event for the last year. This was very helpful and detailed guide to the State Fair. 

Amazing app!

### 5/5 — 1000/10

*2024-09-21, version 1.0.10*

All that needs to be said.

### 5/5 — Super useful!

*2024-09-10, version 1.0.10*

The directions feature was awesome and the photos were great to reference. Would highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Route feature is a game changer

*2024-09-05*

This app is a must-have for the Minnesota State Fair!

The app will calculate a route to a chosen vendor or building, complete with the moving blue dot with compass/current direction. The routes themselves are very efficient and what a real person who was extremely familiar with the fairgrounds would do. 

If the developer, Daniel, can add multiple stops to the route feature, I will go to the fair extra times just to use this app 😃

### 5/5 — Great idea! One idea…

*2024-09-03*

This is the best app ever. As someone who only gets to the fair once a year and is overwhelmed by trying to navigate how large it is this is a game changer. We loved this and it made it sooooo easy to see what was near us on our wish list. 

One idea… we all hear about how everyone rates the food sooo why not implement this into the app! A rating system would be soooo fun and helpful. Could even through a cute theme to the ratings (instead of 5/5 stars you could do 5/5 corn dogs, corn cobs, MN on a sticks, etc to theme it up). This way the fair goers can share their thoughts and maybe even some photos. This would also add the option to have a “best rated” category.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-09-03, version 1.0.10*

What a great app, very helpful to have the map view of the favorites - made planning so much better!

### 5/5 — Best Fair App

*2024-09-03*

I found this app from a Reddit post, thought I’d give it a try. It turned out to be one of the best fair resources ever. The fact that all the data is downloaded to the app made all the difference because once you’re there you have virtually no service. Everything in the app is searchable, has a ton of information on each place, booth, exhibit, etc. and maps out a route for you to get there. The official State Fair app, which coincidentally released this year, was subpar in comparison and I was so glad to have found this. I am excited to see how it develops for the 2025 Fair. Thanks for making this app, and for making it free to the public.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-09-03, version 1.0.10*

I hope this app is available next year. I’d even pay to use it.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for!

*2024-09-02*

I saw someone post about this app on Reddit. I’ve tried using the official state fair app before but it was sort of glitchy. I figured this app is free, why not give it a shot? It worked PERFECTLY! I was able to favorite any food stands I wanted to try before getting to the fair. Once I was there, I opened the app and chose which one of the stands I had favorited. Then, it opened an interactive map and showed where I was and where the stand was located and gave me directions. It was great!! And it isn’t just for food stands either, you can find anything on it! I used it multiple times throughout the day, my friends were asking about it as well because it made navigating the fair so much less stressful. I will definitely be using this again in the years to come

### 5/5 — Everything I Always Wanted

*2024-09-02*

This app is everything I always wanted. As someone who has hand drawn maps before to plan out a food route, this is perfect.

New feature idea: must have vs wish list tagging. Being able to prioritize can help nail down a route to get an the things you must have. Then you can sprinkle in some wish list items along the way.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

### 5/5 — Best app for the fair

*2024-09-01, version 1.0.10*

The gps feature works so great on it. The categories so you know are what is new and where to go and find it. Recommend it to all my friends and family to use.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-09-01*

I truly love this app! Not to be cliche but if I could give it 10 stars, I would! It’s just so dang useful and helpful. The map shows exactly where you are and it moves along with you so you if you’re going in the right direction. The list of food vendors is helpful too. As is the information regarding the shopping vendors. I like how it’ll say if the vendor takes credit cards or not (if it’s known) and whether or not there’s a discount available. We used the map to find my way back to the buses and I’m so thankful for that as it was still very crowded and getting dark by the time we were leaving. This app is a must have for any MN State Fair goer!

### 1/5 — Why

*2025-07-01, version 1.0.10*

Use the actual mn state fair app

### 5/5 — Yes to this app!

*2025-09-01*

Second year I’ve used it and I still love it! Thanks for updating it and bringing it back! The one thing I would love to see next year is adding accessibility - there are ASL interpreted shows daily, and I’d love to see a symbol next to each one so it’s easy for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing folks to plan their day around stuff they can attend (or add as a filter). If you look at the accessibility info on the website, it’ll show all that info- it would be so cool to incorporate that into this app! Thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Love of My Life

*2025-08-31, version 1.0.14*

Love at first sight. This app changed my life forever. I will never go back to any other app. God bless the developer.

### 5/5 — Bravo!!!

*2025-08-31, version 1.0.14*

A well thought out and designed app.  Just what a fair goer without good sense of direction and organization needs.

### 5/5 — Bless the app developer

*2025-08-31*

I wish you always have short lines whenever you use the bathroom and when you you to the fair.

App is well organized with the blue ribbon coupon options if you purchase the book. 
Love how it has the fair map and how you can favorite stuff with information about the new foods and vendors.

### 5/5 — The state fair app to rule them all

*2025-08-31, version 1.0.14*

Seriously, it’s near perfect. Just get it. And leave a tip.

### 5/5 — Made the fair the most enjoyable

*2025-08-30, version 1.0.14*

This app is a game changer, in finding spots easily, saving them, finding them and crossing them off you list when you’re down! Best state fair app!

### 5/5 — Best MN State Fair App

*2025-08-28*

We used to say “How Did I Get Here?” all the time at the fair, but now we have Line Of Sight to all the best attractions. From the morning when we arrive Wide Awake, to Late Night, this app gives us the experiences we want just A Moment Apart. This year, I nearly missed one of my favorite foods that was just Across The Room, but MN on a Stick reminded me. We even got up to the Higher Ground at machinery hill for The Last Goodbye! Amazing!

### 5/5 — Type-A Dream Come True

*2025-08-28, version 1.0.14*

AMAZING ability to “favorite” the foods I want, and I love the  fact it tells me how to get there in real time!!

### 5/5 — 10/10 - no notes

*2025-08-25*

I will not shut up about how fantastic this all is. It meets such a specific need in the best way. I have no notes. I just can’t believe it does exactly what I’ve always wanted. It has totally transformed my fair experience and I didn’t think my fair experience could get better than it is.

*2025-08-24, version 1.0.14*

The greatest thing to come out of Minnesota since the state fair itself
