Map need better icons so it is possible to match to the legends. Better use of colors and simple geometric shape. With three finger tap, it is obvious that detail is not there. ### 4/5 — Crashes *2019-07-26, version 9.2.6* Since the Bose update, app crashes on launch. Reinstall the app and it’ll work everyone ### 3/5 — Schedule *2019-07-12, version 9.1.3.198* Last year i was able to turn my iPhone horizontal and see the schedule according to times. It doesn’t work this year???? ### 3/5 — No artists or times loading on new app *2019-07-11, version 9.1.3.198* Had a great experience with the app in 2018, so I can’t give a lower rating. However, I’ve downloaded and re-downloaded the 2019 app several times but none of the artist names or times are loading. Happy to change my stars if there’s a fix for me. ### 4/5 — 2018 artist bios won’t load *2018-07-27, version 8.0.9* This app has always been stellar. Super useful and user-friendly, absolutely needed to help make the Fest that much more fun. This year the bios for all the bands aren’t loading when using the app. This isn’t a deal killer just a big annoyance for an otherwise great app. Is this big being worked on? Edit: real time usage on Friday, the scrolling feature as bands’ set times would tick off doesn’t work anymore. Additionally, everything is off by an hour at least. Just got a notification that Moses Sumney was playing the Harbor Stage at about 4:25. His set ended a while ago and Rachel and Vilray was already more than halfway through their own set. ### 4/5 — Schedules are incorrect in landscape *2017-07-26, version 7.0.0* The harbor stage and quad stage schedules are swapped in landscape view. Otherwise, good stuff! ### 1/5 — Please fix it!!!! *2015-07-20, version 5.0.2* We need a schedule and the app doesn't open! Please fix this xx ### 1/5 — Won't open *2015-07-17, version 5.0.2* :-( ### 5/5 — Beautiful, but best of all: useful! *2013-07-28, version 3.0.1* Great app; true to design and style of the festival, and still completely legible, helpful and useful ### 5/5 — Great layout, useful tool! *2013-07-26, version 3.0.1* The design is clean and I have already been able to visualize and set priorities for my boogie plan this weekend. Well done and thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 7/26/19 *2019-07-26, version 9.2.6* After the update, the app is completely useless. It crashes every time I try to open it and I can’t get past the instructions phase to actually access any information. ### 1/5 — Latest update ruined functionality *2019-07-26, version 9.2.6* Worked last week, this morning any of the lineup option won’t work. Map won’t update. Really disappointed. ### 1/5 — App crashing *2019-07-26, version 9.2.6* I updated my app earlier this week to update to the 2019 schedule. Today I got a push notification to update one more time to fix bugs. Now the app keeps crashing and I can’t open it to access set lists or band information. The folk festival is tomorrow and I can’t use the app. How disappointing. 🙁 ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2019-07-26, version 9.2.6* Latest version of the app crashes. Can’t open. ### 1/5 — Updated app won’t open *2019-07-25, version 9.2.6* Updated the app this morning and now I can’t get it to open!!! Bummer because the festival is tomorrow! ### 1/5 — No artists load *2019-07-25, version 9.2.6* I just downloaded the updated app and NO artists load. ### 1/5 — Time is broken and Alerts are incredibly delayed *2018-07-28, version 8.0.11* Time within the app is broken, it often thinks an act starts in the future that has already finished. Alerts about artist arrive hours after act has finished. Maybe this was caused by bad connection to the cellphone network? With the number of the people at the festival I would expect the app to work better offline. I would be better off with a pdf of the schedule saved to my phone, but that isn’t an option. ### 1/5 — Crashes immediately *2016-06-20, version 6.0.7* Shows splash screen briefly, than crashes every time ### 1/5 — Fail *2015-07-21, version 5.0.2* Doesn't open. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work!!!! *2015-07-20, version 5.0.2* :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best App Ever *2026-07-12, version 15.7* The Newport Folk App has got to be the greatest app ever designed. The guy who designed the app has to be a genius. Year after year it works perfectly. Whatever they are paying him is not nearly enough. ### 5/5 — Christmas in July *2018-07-17, version 8.0.6* Newport folk app may be the best thing on the summer. Works as your personal concierge for the greatest music festival. Turn it Up. ### 5/5 — Great app for NFF! *2017-07-24, version 7.0.2* Love using this app both before and during the festival. Simple and adds a lot of value. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2016-07-20, version 6.0.12* Precious glitch with the "heart" list/sort has been fixed. App works great! Stoked for another awesome NFF. Can't wait! ### 5/5 — Great, professional app *2015-07-28, version 5.0.3* I saw so many people using this app over the weekend. I really like the countdown until an artist was scheduled to begin their set...very useful. It loaded quickly and had beautiful graphics. The notifications and news sections seemed somewhat redundant but all in all a very good app that went above and beyond my expectations. ### 5/5 — Handy *2015-07-26, version 5.0.3* Awesome layout. Informative and helpful ### 5/5 — Beautiful app *2015-07-22, version 5.0.3* I'm getting very psyched for the weekend! This elegant app has helped me plan it all out. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2015-07-20, version 5.0.2* Awesome app. Essential to fest goers! ### 5/5 — Useful *2015-07-16, version 5.0.1* This app is a great enhancement to the festival with a great design and lots of useful info. It has allowed me to plan my time and plot my course to the beer tents between acts! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-07-15, version 5.0.1* Love this app! Simple, looks good, easy to navigate & has all you need! I love the calendar feature that appears when you turn your phone horizontally. Really nice to see how bands line up by stage & time! Also love that the bottom of the bands summary has a play button that links to a YouTube song of theirs! I'll definitely be using that button to check out the bands on my day! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
