Genuinely awful

The app wouldn’t update when artists had been moved. Meaning a lot of walking for a lot of nothing. Worst festival I’ve ever been to

I like it!

all the necessary functions for a convenient visit to these two great events. The application provides detailed information about the schedule of performances, artists and venues

Font is unreadable

I go to Leeds Festival every year as I live in a nearby village. I'm really struggling with the App this year due to the extremely poor choice of font. Having everything in bold caps makes it practically unreadable. Did the app undergo any accessibility testing at all as it seems to fall foul of the most basic of accessibility guidelines? I've always had good eyesight but have worn reading glasses for the last 5 years but I find the font on this app practically unreadable. I'm going to struggle to see who is playing this year and expect that using the app for the 3 days of the festival will become unworkable.

Pretty useful

Pretty good app as has easy to view timeline and search for artists, and if you select an artist on a stage it reminds you in time to make it there and is highlighted in the days timeline.

Basic bugs with an update

Updated the app and my schedule is gone. Shame!

Helpful but too many notifications

Really handy for planning but get absolutely swamped with notifications. The artist alerts were really helpful but had over 100 notifications from Wednesday to Sunday. Most of which were spam.

Bad

Never gets any better

Brilliant

Map is very helpful. Clearly shows who is performing where - SUPER HANDY!

Works with no signal or WiFi, never glitched over the whole weekend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good app

The app was amazing to have in 2019, will you be updating it before this years festival?

Really great

Really covers everything it should, great for planning too! Will there be an update for this years festival?

Lost all my favourites

App is very good but, after planning my entire weekend, but after the latest update it has lost all my favourites. Grrrrrr

Alan?

Steve!

Dylan

Anyone got a number for k

Needs less advertising

Constantly hits me with Heineken pop up adds, can’t navigate the app without having beer pushed upon me every 30 seconds, I get it your selling crates of beer for £20 but I only wanna see the set list!!!!

Great

Really good app, very helpful. I am so excited now for this years festival!

Update?

When is it going to be updated?
There are no maps, no timeframe for acts they are just listed

When clicking on an artist it sends me to YouTube rather than their page on the app

Would give the app a higher rating but when I click to see an artists bio/stage place and time it instantly links me to a song of the artist on YouTube and I have to constantly come back from YouTube to the apps artist bios. It’s really irritating.

good app

app works fine. used it last year and will use it this year too!

Annoying

Used to be the R and L app, then changed to the Reading app meaning I had to download a new one despite Leeds being a much superior festival

Good but sharing all favourites doesn't work

Decent app. Easy to use, plan schedules etc. But the function to share your favourited gigs is greyed out?
If fixed in time for the festival I'll up the rating! 👍
