### 1/5 — Design disaster

*2026-08-05, version 11.0.0*

The 2026 version of this app is a design disaster. Finding information about anything specific is nigh-impossible. Even something as basic as parking information is hidden in the FAQs behind extensive verbiage about offsite park-and-ride, with very little information about where to go for main parking. The map is nearly useless, as everything is obscured by icons that are meaningless by themselves without the legend that’s itself difficult to use and read. It feels like this app was designed by people who’ve never been to a state fair or amusement park in their lives. Do better next year!

### 3/5 — Fair app is Fair

*2026-08-04, version 11.0.0*

Search feature not too useful. Does not hand off to map apps very well.

### 1/5 — Trying to lure you in with non transparent prices

*2026-08-03, version 11.0.0*

So the app says you have unlimited ride bands for $38, with “individual tickets available onsite” but conveniently skip over any information on the price of those tickets. Seems like the app is trying to lure people in with cheap admission, the collect pay for parking, expensive food, everything else and then trap people into getting the expensive bands for the rides once they’re already in deep.

### 2/5 — Hard to navigate.

*2026-08-02, version 11.0.0*

First it looks like it is built to appeal to a first grader. You can click on a link for the schedule to show all day events but it does not - such as “senior day”.

### 2/5 — Works, then doesn’t

*2026-08-02, version 11.0.0*

Spent some time a few days before i visit favoriting the spots i wanted to see in the app. Could view all the tabs like food and shopping fine. Came back the night before my visit to find my favorites tab wiped clean, and unable to use major parts of the app; like when you click shopping, it brings you to a page that says “voting begins Friday July 31st!” which is obviously not even the right page for this tab anymore. Multiple food vendors are also suddenly missing in the food tab despite said vendors posting on social media they are still there through the end of the fair. Unlikely that will ever be usable as the reviews from 11 years ago echo similar sentiments.

### 2/5 — App is not up to date

*2026-07-30, version 11.0.0*

So many things don’t work on this app and half the vendors you find online are not shown on the food vendor page, nor do the $3 Thursday deals shown on the website.  It doesn’t really help you get to where you need. Voting says it ends in 3 days yet when you click vote it shows the voting is closed so that doesn’t make sense.

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2025-07-29, version 10.0.1*

Couldn’t vote for art. App exceeded free account?

### 1/5 — Cannot filter for Entertainment filter, Cannot see Favorites

*2025-07-22, version 10.0.1*

Useless! When you’re searching for things to do at the fair, there’s no category for entertainment in the filter list. Also, you can favoritize an event, but the app does not list Favorites or My Stuff, so you can’t find your saved events. And when you go to App Support, there’s no way to ask for help (no email address, just a website for fair personnel).

### 2/5 — Page not found

*2024-07-28, version 9.0.0*

This app is useless.

### 1/5 — Forgot to have the food search function

*2016-07-29, version 6.0*

The best part of last year's app was the ability to search for specific food items. I like to eat food on a stick and would search for that.
