Conquer the schedule
This is a very serviceable little app and helped me with my 2025 visit. While you can’t book tickets on it, you can input your dates, event wishlist and it maps the whole thing out for you and points out any clashes. Plus it suggests nearby shows that fit with your timings. Loved using it. Superior to official app IMO.

Better than nothing!
This app is an improvement over the regular fringe app. I like the “nearby afterwards” function but it’s too bad that it isn’t also a “nearby beforehand “ function. It would also be better to be able to choose genre in that function, especially because a lot of the “shows” that come up in the function are actually exhibits that are open all day for the entire fringe. Likewise if the browse feature allowed specifying time and location that would be helpful. And once we added a show to our schedule, we couldn’t delete it. Finally, it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t have a feature of actually buying tickets.

Very useful app - but missing a couple of key features
This app makes planning a trip to The Fringe so much easier. Anyone who has been will know that simply the vast number of shows to choose from means figuring out the logistics for any visit can be daunting. This app remove a lot of the pain and time in working this out.
It would benefit from two additional features:
1. Adding Start Time to the search filter - at present, you can only filter by date
2. Being able to input multiple date ranges for visits. At present, you can only put in one date range as the app seems to assume that people only visit once. I typically visits a few different days throughout August and want to be able to plan a schedule for the whole month, not by one day at a time.

Useless
Like all fringe apps, it's rubbish.
It's nearly ok, but it's not. What it needs - and what they all need - is to just let me set location as a zone/distance, genre, and TIME. Not just "today".
It remains useless

Essential for Edinburgh Fringe planning
I’ve been using this app for years. The team have carefully improved it each year and I wouldn’t want to be at the Fringe without it. There are so many shows - this app provides a really usable structured way to find out about shows from the main EdFringe listings, to note the things you’d like to see and then it takes all the pain out of scheduling, so you minimise the amount of walking up Edinburgh hills and really make the most of your time here. It’s flexible enough to add in and reschedule shows as you need, and if you need or want to schedule in non-Fringe time (lunch or dinner!) you can do that too. A great app - 100% recommended!
