This app is designed to maximize your Edinburgh Fringe Experience in the time that you are in Edinburgh. Simply enter the shows you would like to see, and give each one a rating for how much you would like to see it. This app will then schedule as many shows during your visit as it can, ensuring your highest-rated shows are included wherever possible! Your budget, walking speed and other preferences are taken into account during this, and your schedule can be re-calculated at any time if you discover other shows you would also like to see. You can Search for Shows, Browse for them or look for Nearby Shows without registering. But if you want to use the app to its fullest you can Register your basic details. This allows your choices to be remembered, and you can use the www.planmyfringe.co.uk website and this app interchangeably with the same Wishlist, Schedule and Preferences. We have a Recommendations section which will suggest the best shows for you personally using AI, AND a Fringe Trail which allows you to easily create a chain of shows you wish to see following on from one another, minimising walking and waiting time between shows! You can also - view your schedule for each day as an animated route schedule on Google Maps - view nearby shows and make sure they don't interfere with your schedule - add other shows you become aware of to your Wishlist and let these be slotted in - select to ignore certain performances - confirm shows you have booked tickets for, so that the app will not re-calculate these dates - add non-show calendar items for anything else of interest - search or filter by venues to see what else is on at any venue This is an unofficial Edinburgh Fringe application, created by Henson IT Solutions. It uses data provided courtesy of the Edinburgh Festivals Listings API. Although we do our utmost to ensure everything is up-to-date and works smoothly, we cannot accept any liability for any problems caused by use of our services. Have a Good Fringe! ## Key features - Personalized show scheduling - AI-powered recommendations - Optimized Fringe Trails - Budget and walking speed considerations - Animated route schedules on Google Maps - Search and filter by venue - Wishlist management ## Recent user reviews (10 of 23) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/plan-my-fringe/id1264802429/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Conquer the schedule *2025-08-22, version 1.0.39* 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. ### 3/5 — Better than nothing! *2025-08-18* 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. ### 4/5 — Very useful app - but missing a couple of key features *2025-08-15, version 1.0.39* 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. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-08-05, version 1.0.39* 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 ### 5/5 — Essential for Edinburgh Fringe planning *2025-08-04, version 1.0.39* 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! ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-08-03, version 1.0.39* First time at The Fringe and it can be overwhelming. This app is weak thought out and has made random discovery fun! ### 5/5 — Indispensable tool for making the best of your Fringe visit *2024-08-13* This app is phenomenal and has taken all the hard work out of optimizing my time at the Fringe and packing in as many shows as possible into my schedule. Its ability to take into account travel times between venues and find nearby shows to fill in gaps is brilliantly executed. Thank you so much to the developer(s) behind this (and the web site)! ### 1/5 — Useful but could be better *2024-08-02, version 1.0.24* It would be great if we could import the schedule and Favourites. Plus, more recently, it shows missing, meaning they need to be manually added, which is a pain. But once the shows are in, it is excellent and helpful to show gaps and walking time between shows Update: app has not been updated to this years “fringe day” where dates/times reflect the actual day. Makes all useless for planning after midnight shows. ### 5/5 — Best Edinburgh Fringe App *2023-08-15* I’ve used this app the last two years. It is much more user friendly than the official app. And faster. I ‘m able to search for shows nearby and soon, and can expand the search both in terms of start time and distance. I also like that it gives me travel time to the venue I’m looking at. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Base map not loading *2023-08-04, version 1.0.18* Brilliant last year but base map not showing up this year. Please fix! ## Frequently asked questions about Plan My Fringe ### How does Plan My Fringe create a schedule?
