In 2024, the acts had a bio, so you could easily tell what is their genre, a brief history and then search the acts by a word, like “blues” and you would get all the shows that had “blues” in their bio. Next year, please add at least the music genre back to a brief bio so we know whether we might be interested in seeing them. ### 2/5 — When it works it’s great.. *2023-06-26, version 5003.0.0* Setting up your schedule and laying out the map is great. However, the app is a slow opener which makes it inherently difficult to use with the lower bandwidth available at the grounds when things get busy. I also have issues with it loading in a timely matter outside of the grounds but there are plenty of other variables at play there. ### 1/5 — Useless for buying tickets *2019-06-28, version 6.0.0* This app is useless for buying tickets. The integrated web viewer is horrible. Just go online with safari. Also, the online tickets don't integrate with Apple wallet. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-06-28, version 6.0.0* Registration process to buy tickets is absolutely awful. I gave up and will buy at venue. ### 1/5 — Frustration station *2019-06-27, version 6.0.0* Trying to buy tickets? Don’t bother. It keeps looping you around the app and it’s impossible to purchase tickets. A complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Not a true mobile app! Scrolling endlessly is rediculous *2019-06-26, version 6.0.0* That schedule is visually is very confusing! ### 1/5 — LOST $59 *2019-06-26, version 6.0.0* I went to buy tickets online and purchased ( so I thought). It said declined, but my bank account shows a transfer of -$59. I called them the customer service was HORRIBLE. Still don't have my money I saved to go so 🤷‍♀️ ### 1/5 — App blows to make a plan *2019-06-15, version 6.0.0* This app blows at making a plan for the events. ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC *2018-07-06, version 4410.0.1* If I am listening to music with my Bluetooth headphones and start the app, the Bluetooth disconnects and music starts blaring through my phone speakers. This even happens when I get push notifications from the app, which is completely beyond my control. So embarrassing when I am at work listening to music and trying to plan my night at Summerfest, and it’s a bad design flaw in an app specifically designed for music lovers. ### 1/5 — :(( *2018-06-29, version 4410.0.1* I had a free ticket for July 4th that got taking away:( no one will help and now I can’t go. Stupid app. ### 1/5 — A *2018-06-11, version 4409.1.3* Last years info2017?? ### 1/5 — Malware? *2017-06-28, version 4409.1.0* 1st time opening and splashed with an ad saying my "battery is at 30% find out more!" When my battery was at 90%. Nope. Insta-delete. ### 4/5 — Great for the lineup and locations *2016-07-08, version 4408.1.0* The only thing the app needs to add is whether or not the concert is free. If general admission does not include this concert, maybe it could provide a link to buy tickets? Otherwise this app is perfect for figuring which band is playing when and where. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not timely updated *2026-04-20, version 5005.0.4* Failures to update for new year’s line-up persist months after the info is available elsewhere, creating planning difficulty for ticket purchases and planing. Hopefully will at least be useful during festival days, but don’t hold your breath. ### 1/5 — I didn’t get my free ticket for downloading the app *2025-06-16, version 5005.0.3* I felt click-baited by their advertisement of “free general admission ticket” for those who download the app. Never again ### 1/5 — Band descriptions are illegible *2023-07-06, version 5003.0.0* Practically every band description is illegible due to unparsed HTML characters, which is absurd considering this is an app for a music festival. Speaking of absurd, you can’t bring an empty water bottle to fill inside, drinking fountains are rare and the water is warm and a small bottle of water cost $5.25.. in 90 degree heat. Milwaukee.. ### 1/5 — App won’t load *2023-06-04, version 5003.0.0* Downloaded the app and selected the bands I want to go see and now it doesn’t load … ### 1/5 — No help *2022-07-11, version 8.0.0* They left or than half the artists off the schedule. If it wasn’t a big name it wasn’t posted. There was also a glitch with the maps that made it unreadable. ### 1/5 — Crash Crash Crash *2022-06-27, version 8.0.0* Keep trying to view the schedule and adjust my favorite artists, but just keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Glitchy App *2022-06-22, version 8.0.0* “Download summerfest app to get a free ticket” but every time I enter my email address it says it’s invalid. Seems like this is a reoccurring issue for many that nobody wants to fix. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-04-18, version 8.0.0* “Claim your weekday ticket” option fails with “invalid email.” Tried three different email addresses, several times, with the same result. ### 1/5 — Won’t install *2021-08-17, version 7.0.0* I’m sure I’d give it a much higher rating if it would install. It says it’s compatible with my iPhone, but doesn’t download. Fail. :( ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-07-01, version 6.0.0* This app makes paying for tickets such a chore, I finally gave up after three tries and decided to pay for tickets the old school way, by standing in an actual line. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I have to be *2023-06-25* We are in ### 5/5 — I’m going to get the *2023-06-23* I will be back at the work ### 5/5 — Much Improved for 2021 *2021-09-05, version 7.0.0* First, ignore any ratings that are older than 2021! The 2021 app is MUCH better than before. This is a good thing, because they don’t print detailed schedules anymore. After clicking on an artist’s name, you can see their bio and then go to links on Spotify, YouTube, etc. to listen to them. You can search for artists using a genre (e.g., blues). You will get artists with Blues in their bio, which will include more artists than you may be interested in, but at least you will see all those that are in the blues genre. You can look at the schedule by time or place. You can mark an artist as a favorite and you will be notified before they start to play. You can also search for food at Summerfest using this app. You can search for a type of food (e.g., tacos) or see all the vendors near you or in alpha order. Definitely a great job by the Summerfest folks on updating this app. Too bad they can’t remove all the one stars they got from the app versions before this one. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2018-07-04, version 4410.0.1* Which all festivals were this smart! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-07-03, version 4410.0.1* It helpful and see who is performing on each stage for 11 days and with a map of the ground. ### 5/5 — Summerfest 2016 *2016-05-16, version 4408.0.1* Can't wait ### 5/5 — Radio closes from the top *2016-05-03, version 4408.0.0* ^^^ The radio closes by hitting the down error just below your clock. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-06-20, version 2014.3* I love Summerfest! Also it would be cool if I could get 2 tickets to DMB..👍 ### 5/5 — Ready to Rock! *2014-06-16, version 2014.3* Nice app!! Takin' summer by storm! ### 5/5 — Top Of The Line *2014-06-11, version 2014.2* exactly what I was looking for. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
