### 3/5 — Decent, but could be better

*2023-08-15, version 11.0.0*

I wanted to see what the terms are for the $5 discount at the concession stands when using a Chase card.  The notification didn’t provide a link to the terms.  Also, when making a “food list,” it would’ve been nice to be able to see where the vendors are located.  Mobile ordering would’ve been nice too.  I feel if it’s not ready, then there shouldn’t have been a button for it. 

I do like the notifications for the bands I wanted to see.

### 2/5 — Yikes

*2023-06-27, version 11.0.0*

This new update needs lots of work. I think it was released too soon. Schedule isn’t there. Can’t add artists. Can’t sync with others. It’s not really helpful at all. Please try again.

### 3/5 — Fix the sound

*2021-10-30, version 9.0.0*

The sound at every stage was so disappointing. Especially at the main stage. Pretty bummed about day one honestly. Hope y’all do better the rest of the weekend.

### 1/5 — Garbage App

*2021-10-29, version 9.0.0*

Honestly, the little paper schedule they give you when you enter has more use than this trash app

### 4/5 — Solid app for 2021

*2021-10-28, version 9.0.0*

Easy to add artists to your personal schedule ✅

Schedule *DOES* say which stage the artists are playing on (and sorts them by day of performance & stage)✅

You can even set reminders for the performances  ✅

Just wish you could share your schedule with friends, that would truly make this a five star app. All in all- I’m satisfied :)

### 1/5 — Really bad app

*2021-10-21, version 9.0.0*

You’d think with all of the tech resources in SF, this app would be good. It’s so bad. Building your schedule doesn’t even tell where the artists are playing. Tapping save, doesn’t save the artist so you have do it multiple times. There’s a hamburger menu for crying out loud, what year is this omg

### 2/5 — Last year’s app was better

*2019-08-13, version 8.8*

I tried using the app this year (2019) and my personal schedule would not save. I almost missed one of the artists I wanted to see because my schedule wouldn’t save in the app and I was forced to use the paper program provided upon entry. Last year, you could save your personal schedule and it would sent notifications when an artist you wanted to see was about to perform. 
There was no personal connection to the app although we were to log in. Once I registered my wristband it was still asking me to register my wristband. 
Hopefully it will be better next year!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2019-08-12, version 8.8*

Never works when you need it. Relies on connection too much when there might just be too many people at such a big event that you might not have a good connection.

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional

*2019-08-11*

Keeps crashing, doesn’t always save your lineup. As of Sunday morning you can’t see the Sunday schedule- just the lineup. No way to highlight food and drink options. No way to look back at prior shows you attended. You know your app is poorly designed when it doesn’t work as well as the paper map.

### 1/5 — Battery drain

*2019-08-11, version 8.8*

Killed my battery

### 3/5 — Map still not working

*2019-08-09, version 8.8*

Please fix. It’s halfway into day one and I have to pull up a google image of the map to navigate.

### 2/5 — Poor Design & Usability

*2019-08-09, version 8.8*

App is clunky and doesn’t flow smoothly.  When viewing artist info, the “Read More” link doesn’t work.  This leaves you with some stupid one line of info on artists you’d be interested in learning more about.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-08-09, version 8.8*

This app is actually a joke. The schedule view doesn’t work half the time. When it does, it’s for the full schedule, not your personal schedule. If you delete the app or log out, you can’t log back in with your email and password—it says your email wasn’t recognized and then makes you recreate the account and let’s you use the same info you did last time. Seems like they aren’t storing that info anywhere. There’s almost nothing that works well in this app. It’s just a broken, skinned mobile website.

### 3/5 — Not great

*2019-08-05, version 8.5*

I forgot my password and never received any email to change said password. Also thought it would be a little easier to schedule out your days instead of having to physically add it to your calendar.

### 3/5 — Terrible User Interface

*2019-07-30, version 8.5*

Would’ve thought better for the Bay Area. Any other year’s version of the schedule is better than this years.

### 3/5 — Not updated for 2019

*2019-07-22, version 7.0.1*

Info is for last year’s festival.

### 1/5 — Annoying.

*2019-07-18, version 7.0.1*

App constantly prompts me to turn on Bluetooth even after I force closing the app. Not sure how y’all doing that since I don’t believe that is within the App Store guidelines.

### 4/5 — 2019 Update?

*2019-06-01, version 7.0.1*

When will the 2019 update be released?

### 1/5 — Map doesn’t work on the app

*2026-08-09, version 14.0.2*

Map doesn’t work on the app

### 1/5 — can’t login

*2026-08-04, version 14.0.0*

literally just reset my password and it says it’s wrong. come on guys.

### 1/5 — Is it 2025 or 2026?

*2026-07-21, version 13.0.3*

It’s three weeks until Outside Lands 2026 and the app still thinks it’s 2025. Hello? Did the $6 trillion dollar tickets not cover a dev from fiverr to update your app?

### 1/5 — Broken and unusable

*2025-07-30, version 13.0.0*

If I’m paying 100s for a ticket I expect the app to be somewhat on par to the price. Extremely broken, information and schedules disappearing, artists marked with no events despite being on the schedule, difficult to navigate overall.

### 1/5 — Paid app

*2023-08-11, version 11.0.0*

I’m not paying for this.

### 1/5 — Not a great user experience

*2023-08-03, version 11.0.0*

Where the map on the app?!

Set times came out hella late

Viewing your schedule isn’t easy to navigate or read when I need to scroll up and down and left and right.

### 1/5 — Won’t download

*2022-08-06, version 10.0.2*

Ap won’t download. Error message says “can’t download due to billing problem”. 

Lame

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2022-08-05, version 10.0.2*

Buggy app. Random scrolling in schedule

### 1/5 — Mediocre

*2022-08-05, version 10.0.2*

Finding particular food vendors is nearly impossible.  The restaurants that work to bring their special dishes and tastes to this should have their own dedicated app.  
The map is put together like a grade school project. Doesn’t scale easily; snaps back to tiny type and icons all thee time 
On a small phone this is unreadable. Barely better on a large iPad.  
They better have the printed brochures when I go in!Espy*88

### 1/5 — No 2022 Update?

*2022-07-20, version 9.0.0*

We’re two weeks away from OSL22 and the app still only has 2021 lineup info.  

Come on, people. I spent $1K on VIP and this app content is the best you can deliver?

### 5/5 — Must have

*2017-07-09, version 5.1*

Instead of holding a paper that has who is playing you can just use this app and everything is great

### 5/5 — @indieSongADay

*2014-08-07, version 3.0*

BUT OSL IS THE BEST FESTIVAL OF ALL TIME. 

The app comes so handy. Well done!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2014-08-06, version 3.0*
