### 2/5 — Waste of bits

*2026-04-27, version 5009.0.1*

Doesn’t provide info on a helpful way. Better off just downloading PDFs of the festival map in music cubes schedule to your phone. A lot quicker and easier to get same info.

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-23, version 5009.0.1*

What happened?  It’s a total redesign and it’s WAY worse than last years app. It takes rice as many clicks to do anything and I can’t find “my schedule “ where it just show the acts I’ve picked to see.

### 3/5 — Still incomplete for 2026 with less than 2 weeks to go

*2026-04-10, version 5009.0.0*

Still needs the ability to find food by actual booth location. Still needs the ability to show my schedule. Could also use a filter to select a subset of stages. Needs a checkmark to show which acts have been added to my schedule when viewing the overall schedule.

### 2/5 — Needs a lot of improvement

*2025-04-01, version 5007.0.3*

They take forever to update the app every year. The festival is a month away and they still haven’t put the new food booths on there. Most importantly, for some reason they took away the music schedule part of the app which is one of the main reasons people would use it. Now you have to go to the cubes and you can only see one stage at a time rather than being able to see and compare times of all the acts at other stages. You also can’t create your own schedule lime you could before. I hope they decide to remedy this in the future. Every other festival app has a feature to see multiple times at once.

### 3/5 — Good idea. Bad execution.

*2024-05-06, version 5007.0.1*

In there great idea. A lot of good info. BUT I wasn’t able to use it during the later part of the day (when I really needed it) because it constantly froze!!!!

### 2/5 — 2023

*2023-04-02, version 5004.0*

Not yet updated for this year’s Festival

### 3/5 — An app is only as good as it’s updated

*2022-04-11, version 5003.0.1*

Any plans to update for the 2022 festival??

### 2/5 — Artist previews??

*2019-05-02, version 5003.0.1*

Can’t find em....

### 3/5 — 50th Anniversary

*2019-04-23, version 5003.0*

Great for scheduling but should have a way to share your sked with friends.

### 4/5 — Still not updated

*2019-04-14, version 5002.0*

While I get the “will get updated” thing, everything else is ready. Would love to see 2019 on the app.

### 4/5 — Dates/lineups are mixed up

*2019-04-04, version 5002.0*

Hi there, it seems the dates are mixed up. It’s saying that April 27th is a Friday when it’s Saturday, so it seems the lineups are getting a bit mixed with that as well. I’m trying to plan our attack and hope this gets fixed soon. 
Thanks so much for making this app for us. Rock on!

### 2/5 — App crashes after adding to schedule

*2018-04-28, version 5002.0*

The app crashes every single time after adding a band to my schedule.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2018-04-05, version 5001.0*

It’s 2018, How can Jazz Fest not have a usable app?!?

### 1/5 — Still 2017 Schedule

*2018-03-27, version 5001.0*

I booked jazz fest back in January and have been waiting for the updated app since the names were released. Doesn’t look like this app will be a feature this year at Jazz Fest as its only a month away.

### 1/5 — 2017 is Long Past

*2018-03-17, version 5001.0*

Not able to update to 2018, despite trying to refresh, also tried delete & reinstall.  No go, only 2017 info. Bummed, it’s high time to be planning!!

### 1/5 — Update is way overdue

*2018-02-27, version 5001.0*

???????

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2017-04-30, version 5001.0*

What is the point of an app that doesn't tell you when the festival isn't even open due to weather?

### 1/5 — No Way to Create My Schedule?!

*2026-04-10, version 5009.0.0*

How is it that I can’t select favorites and create a daily schedule with notifications? This has been standard for years?
For the price of the ticket, we should at least get a functional app!

### 1/5 — So many bugs - food section Is unusable

*2025-04-28, version 5008.0.1*

No reason to drain your phone battery with this app - just pick up a paper version at the door

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-05-02, version 5007.0.1*

Can't enter username and password.
What's the point?

### 1/5 — Relies on overloaded network connectivity

*2023-05-05, version 5005.0.0*

Great festival, disappointing app. This app is next to useless without network connectivity - as should be expected for any mass gathering of people. no map, no details about shows and no details about the shuttle back to the hotel. All this stuff worked when I had bandwidth.

### 1/5 — App won’t work past loading screen

*2022-04-28, version 5004.0*

Anyone else have this issue that’s on a n iPhone?

### 1/5 — 2022 schedule is not updated!

*2022-04-18, version 5003.0.1*

Please update your schedule. The dates are incorrect for 2022.

### 1/5 — Get it together

*2019-05-04, version 5003.0.1*

Really should be a little more current.  Weather delay info hit social media 20 min ago and still nothing in the app, not to mention no pushes info

### 1/5 — App Is Useless

*2019-04-04, version 5002.0*

Does not pull in the schedule. Can’t sync my schedule with the website. Basically every page is blank. Unless major updates are made to the app, and soon, it’s not worth installing.

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated.

*2019-03-26, version 5002.0*

Would be a nice app if updated for the 2019 festival. 😒

### 1/5 — What a waste! No perfunctory schedule.

*2018-04-24, version 5002.0*

Just downloaded the app before traveling to NO for the opening weekend of the fest. Despite the performance schedule being available on the website, it’s not available through this app, which apparently is a waste of time and resources.

### 5/5 — Great Guide!

*2023-04-28, version 5005.0.0*

This is a terrific festival app. Everything I need is at my fingertips. I love having the schedule of my music choices and the reminders, and the ability to “favorite” my food vendor preferences. Before getting the app, I always had a hard time figuring out where I wanted to go next.

### 5/5 — Will this app be updated for 2019?

*2019-03-29, version 5002.0*

Just saw that the cubes were out and hope this will be updated!

### 5/5 — Update coming, very useful at fest

*2019-03-29, version 5002.0*

So for all the comments saying they need to update, don't worry, they will. The lineup, stages, and times just got released online on their website. They are very particular to hold off until about a month before to make sure everything is in place for the artists before signing times. That way they don't have to change it everytime there's a cancelation, etc.
I've gone to jazz fest for the past 5 years, and every year it gets better! The app is essential if you want to preplan where and when you want to see specific artists. If you just want to sit at one of the big stages all day, to save a seat for the big acts of the evening, you don't need this app. But if you want to experience local musicians, Indians, food presentation, etc, the app is essential.

### 5/5 — Best. App. Ever!

*2017-04-30, version 5001.0*

This app is amazing and lets you find artists / events by date, by time, by artist name, or even by stage. It has all of the food and crafts listed. It has a map. It even has links to artists' pages and social media. You can even listen to WWOZ live from the app. Great job!!!!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-05-06, version 2013.1.9*

This app was very helpful while I was at the fest

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-04-18, version 2013.1.8*

Provides easy access to all info you need to stay organized and find your way around the grounds.

### 5/5 — Fixed missing day.

*2013-04-09, version 2013.1.6*

One day was accidentally hidden (May 2) at launch but is has been restored.

### 5/5 — Where is the "my schedule" tool?

*2013-04-09, version 2013.1.6*

Where is the "my schedule" tool described as a feature of the app?
Schedule is viewable, except May 2, but doesn't have the advertised my schedule feature.
I'm looking forward to using this app!

### 5/5 — Love the map zoom

*2012-04-28, version 2012.1*

Can just tap on the stage and see who's playing. Don't know what the other reviewer was saying...  I could zoom in on the map. Gotta love slacker radio!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-04-03, version 3.0*

This app has everything, a very helpful map along with an accurate schedule. It's fantastic. No one should go to the Jazz Fest without it!
