Will miss one of my most used apps!

Useful!
Does what I wanted: shows me what is happening in the parks, where they are, and on what day.
Could it have more features and a slicker interface? Sure, but this is a free app put out by the parks district, and considering that I am actually quite impressed with how good it is.

Design system improvement needed
Development team needs to revisit their design system to reflect new phones as my iPhone 12 back button is way to close to the top of the header.
Not the app I used to know
Finally redownloaded after years of not using it. This new version is *not* optimized for iPhone 13 screens, the top and bottom UI clash with the native IOS buttons and make them incredibly annoying to tap. More simplistic view of events associated with each park but it seems like either they cut down on events or things are missing. Also miss classes at each park buildings being listed. App feels chopped up, not redesigned.

Not as useful as I was hoping
I was hoping that in addition to general events, I would be able to log into this app to keep track of the classes my family signs up for. It’s probably useful if you want to see what’s going on in the parks, but if you use the park district for more than the free events, it’s not as helpful as it could be.

Missing key element to make useful
I downloaded this due to an upcoming visit by a pal with kids. I’m trying to help plan a great visit. While I can search by date, I have no way of knowing if the events are anywhere near me without clicking on each item of possible interest. There should be a way to easily identify future events within preferred locations (without having to know the names of the parks). This would increase the apps usability significantly and help expose people who don’t often use the parks to the wide offerings available. I hope this functionality is added soon.

Wonderful App
Great app to find shows, movies and events near my location !!
Not helpful
Not useful for seeing what day camps or ongoing activities events are located near me. I uninstalled it.
Cruel & Unusual Links=Punishment
Why have links in your app that are screwy? As some man pointed out to me, late last night as I futilely wandered the park, 500-5700 N Lake Shore Drive is NOT AN ADDRESS! Why on earth have a live link to nowhere? That is just CRUEL! REMOVE IT! FIX IT! Why leave sloppy crap on your app? This is not your first season. There’s no excuse for this. The fact that other park link addresses are accurate actually makes it worse, because the public trusts you at this point. If you have an event at the Historical Museum, LINK THE ADDRESS OF THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM!!!!! Jeez.

Worthless
No way to see a list of facilities and what they offer
Great app
This app is amazing at the summer time. Obviously Chicago wouldn’t have events at parks in the cold winter. Which is when the other reviewer was looking in this app
Won't open
After the update the app won't open, all you see is that it just keeps loading
Not ready for usage
A lot of bugs, it’s impossible to use. Even simplest and must have features don’t work.
Doesn’t Show Much
Very disappointed as it doesn’t show any events. I’ve tried refreshing it and only gives me one event for the month.
Nothing on the app!
What's the point of this app if they don't put the events on it? Totally useless.
Erases saved events
This used to be a great app. Current version, however, has a major bug. It erases everything I've added to "My Events". I've saved a bunch of events at least three times now, and then when I go back into the app again a day or two later, it tells me I have no saved events. Infuriating.
Wonderful
This app is extremely well done and helped me identify events for my family that otherwise would have gone unknown to me. Not sure why I didn't download it earlier!
Not enough info
I was disappointed to see that this only had listings for special park district events--no information about the actual parks themselves. It all looks good but lacks vital info.
Useless
The current update has rendered this app useless. It does not show any events and promote a park district store. I am looking for a new update to fix this problem
Wish it worked on iPad too
Really nice little app, wished it worked better on an iPad. Having to flip my iPad to vertical to view the iPhone only app is a pain when I keep it in a keyboard case. Other than that, it is nice to find events going on at all the Chicago parks.
