User reviews

Not maintained

I think the developers have moved on, nothing here is working properly and is confusing. For instance, what is the "Festival Request" page for? It's empty! Well, there's a text input field but no submit button 🤦

Buggy and confusing

This is my first review ever, but I think this one needs a lot of improvement.
I couldn’t link to friends and I have no idea what the Set Festival page is for, it doesn’t do anything and gets stuck. I was also bombarded by permission requests which was unsettling.

Garbage

Completely useless app, should actually be removed from the App Store entirely. I downloaded for an upcoming festival to be able to keep track of my friends but I can’t even request the festival. I can’t do anything at all, literally no festivals or shows even pop up. I seriously don’t understand why useless apps like these that haven’t even been updated in over a year continue being on the App Store. There needs to be a serious purge of all these useless apps.

Completely pointless

This app is dead nothing works. Don’t bother

Great Idea, but no festivals are loaded

App does not currently show any festivals. Maybe Electric Forest can be added before it starts in late June?
