Even if they updated it it's too late the festival is over. Lineup and schedule would crash constantly. ### 2/5 — Freezes *2015-07-17, version 4.0* Beautifully designed app, but it freezes every time I use it. 😤 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-07-12, version 4.0* Crashes all the time, no way to access schedules. Worst app experience for a festival I've ever had, will reconsider buying a pass next year because of this. ### 1/5 — Has never worked for me *2015-07-12, version 4.0* I've never been able to access the lineup section, which is all this app really is supposed to provide. Would have been better to share a Google Doc with the lineup in it. This is all aesthetic with no functionality. Bad news considering the website is barely navigable on mobile. ### 1/5 — 5 times and your out *2015-07-11, version 4.0* Tried 5 times to access the schedule. Hung every time. Goodbye ### 1/5 — Jams on iPhone 6 *2015-07-11, version 4.0* Doesn't work quickly on iPhone 6, or jams up completely. the Bluesfest apps usually stink and this one is par for the course. ### 1/5 — Freeze-o-rama *2015-07-11, version 4.0* This app is not helpful, it freezes and won't let you view any of the schedules. Previous versions of the app were better ### 1/5 — Horrible... *2015-07-11, version 4.0* App opens, but as soon as you go to view schedule...FREEZES!!! Horrible!!! Can't view anything!! ### 1/5 — Awkward and confusing *2015-07-10, version 4.0* I don't know what's worse, looking at the lineup online on my iPhone or looking at it on this app. Not user-friendly, and the double tabs for each day are thoroughly confusing. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2015-07-10, version 4.0* Can't access the lineup page- freezes every time (this is the latest iPhone too). Completely unusable if I can't find out who is playing or when. Terrible. ### 1/5 — Don't bother with it. Paper is easier! *2015-07-10, version 4.0* Great app and easy to navigate- all the info is there! IF IT WORKED. It crashes or freezes every. single. time it's opened. ..... Figure it out bluesfest. ### 2/5 — Blues fest app *2015-07-10, version 4.0* The app hangs all the time ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2015-07-09, version 4.0* This app is poorly designed and is always freezing, usually when I'm trying to check the schedule which is arguably the primary use of the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Agreed to push notifications for followed band start times, not your ads *2023-07-06, version 10.0.0* There should be a setting to turn these off. ### 1/5 — No map *2017-06-23, version 6.1.0* How about updating the damn map. ### 1/5 — Froze a lot. Rarely worked on site *2015-07-19, version 4.0.1* Altogether a crappy experience. Spent a lot of time creating my schedule but never working on site. ### 1/5 — Good when it works *2015-07-19, version 4.0.1* I really love the idea here but it crashes more than it works. I've basically given up using it. Maybe next year? ### 1/5 — Clunky *2015-07-18, version 4.0.1* Barely useable thank goodness they have paper scheduled available on site ### 1/5 — Never really worked *2015-07-18, version 4.0.1* Crashed a lot, hard to navigate. Two thumbs down! ### 1/5 — Freezes and crashes every time *2015-07-18, version 4.0.1* Freezes and crashes every time ### 1/5 — Awful *2015-07-17, version 4.0* Horrible, crashes all the time. FIX THIS APP FOR NEXT YEAR PLEASE. Website is pretty junk as well. ### 1/5 — Crashes a lot! *2015-07-17, version 4.0* So much unoptimized graphics & animation on the first page make for long loading else it crashes when I try to find the lineUps. Can't use this app! ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2015-07-16, version 4.0* Looks good but you can't navigate the app at all. It just freezes and crashes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome Festival App *2024-03-07, version 10.0.0* This app was actually great for 2023! With so many people at the festival my data was super slow so it was nice that everything was available without a connection. Having food and beverage menus available was really helpful, we could pick what we wanted to eat without having to wander around. ### 5/5 — So well done! *2023-07-07, version 10.0.0* Love the app!! Well thought out- easy to access all your needs for the festival!! My only suggestion- when you click on the artist- their face is obscured by the island on the iPhone - so a bit annoying- but otherwise a terrific app! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-05-08, version 7.0.1* App is great but the festival starts on July 4th, you are missing a whole day. I am a beverage cashier for bluesfest and know lol ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2015-07-14, version 4.0* If you want a horrible app that lacks creativity, features and makes you want to break your phone this is the one. Features include: Freezing Outdated information Poor design Unclear menu items Horrible ticket purchasing And that is just naming a few. So be sure to get this wonderfully horrible app while the festival is still on!! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2014-06-21, version 3.0* It's well layed out, very functional. ### 5/5 — Blues fest app works welll *2013-07-10, version 2.0.0* Great app worked well with social media ( twitter ) and map was a great feature to find my way around the grounds. No problems yet. ### 4/5 — Update makes this much better app *2015-07-18, version 4.0.1* Would give it more stars, but the Lineup section freezes, crashing app. Makes it worthless. Doubt it will be fixed before fest over. Fire contractor who built this. PS. Recent update fixed my complaint. App now works great! ### 4/5 — It works *2015-06-04, version 4.0* Very useful, create your own schedule works. Alarms telling you who and when is at the autograph boot, promotions happening on site... Won meet and greets because of it, it simply works. ### 4/5 — Star function not working/no direct shortcut to update Facebook. *2013-07-04, version 2.0.0* I keep trying to select the star function to add a performer to my favorites and it doesn't seem to be working. Also it's interesting that twitter was built directly into the app but not Facebook. I would have liked to have the option to post to either. Otherwise the map function is awesome and the lineup is great, love the ability to check out performances by artist/venue/date! ### 3/5 — Useful when not freezing *2015-07-12, version 4.0* Very useful tool! Would be great if it could be connected to wristband's account to see the balance. BUT it does keep on freezing and quite often. I have an updated iphone5 with plenty of cellular data. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
