The application provides detailed information about the schedule of performances, artists and venues ### 4/5 — Pretty useful *2023-08-28, version 8.0.3* 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. ### 3/5 — Helpful but too many notifications *2022-08-30, version 7.0.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Update? *2018-07-18, version 4.0.3* When is it going to be updated? There are no maps, no timeframe for acts they are just listed ### 3/5 — When clicking on an artist it sends me to YouTube rather than their page on the app *2018-07-16, version 4.0.3* 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. ### 4/5 — good app *2018-07-10, version 4.0.3* app works fine. used it last year and will use it this year too! ### 3/5 — Good but sharing all favourites doesn't work *2017-08-23, version 3.2.3* 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! 👍 ### 2/5 — Ambitious *2017-08-06, version 3.2.0* Not tested well- menu button objects are misaligned - but the favourites system does work well ### 2/5 — Wrong days *2017-06-21, version 3.0.3* The days are wrong for Leeds fest schedule ### 2/5 — Unimpressive *2016-08-24, version 2.1.1* Can get an overall view of who's playing where in calendar format but you can't click on an artist to get details. You can in the By Stage. By Time is pretty useless except you get click on the artists. Would've been nice to have a map view of your favourites and where they're playing but I guess would be quite difficult to visualise I guess. ### 4/5 — Ye *2016-08-24, version 2.1.1* #RipHarambe ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Genuinely awful *2024-08-26, version 9.2.0* 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 ### 1/5 — Font is unreadable *2024-08-21, version 9.2.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-08-22, version 7.0.0* Never gets any better ### 1/5 — Needs less advertising *2019-08-06, version 5.1.0* 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!!!! ### 1/5 — Annoying *2018-03-17, version 4.0.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Update *2017-02-28, version 3.0.1* The app was super for 2016 but I've been unable to update it. It might just be my phone, but it'd be good to know if not ### 1/5 — Confusing *2016-08-28, version 2.1.2* Confusing navigation. You can't see band stage times for a given day, the app just serves you "Thank you. See you next year." Not native and looks dated & cheap. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2016-08-24, version 2.1.2* App crashes on splash screen. ### 2/5 — Basic bugs with an update *2023-08-25, version 8.0.3* Updated the app and my schedule is gone. Shame! ### 2/5 — Lost all my favourites *2019-08-21, version 5.2.0* App is very good but, after planning my entire weekend, but after the latest update it has lost all my favourites. Grrrrrr ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-08-30, version 6.0.2* Map is very helpful. Clearly shows who is performing where - SUPER HANDY! Works with no signal or WiFi, never glitched over the whole weekend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-08-22, version 5.2.0* The app was amazing to have in 2019, will you be updating it before this years festival? ### 5/5 — Really great *2021-08-13, version 5.2.0* Really covers everything it should, great for planning too! Will there be an update for this years festival? ### 5/5 — Alan? *2019-08-19, version 5.1.0* Steve! ### 5/5 — Dylan *2019-08-08, version 5.1.0* Anyone got a number for k ### 5/5 — Great *2019-06-01, version 5.1.0* Really good app, very helpful. I am so excited now for this years festival! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-08-29, version 2.1.2* Worked great through all of Leeds Fest. I could plan what I wanted to see and the app would remind me when the bands were playing. You also get a message from the bands who headlined after. The map was also very helpful with locating stages and finding toilets etc. ### 5/5 — Mad ting *2016-08-23, version 2.1.1* It's a mad ting ### 5/5 — Sick ennit *2016-06-21, version 2.0.2* It's a mad app uno bare helpful n dat ### 5/5 — Exciting App *2016-05-14, version 2.0.2* A great confidence booster as this will be my first Reading Festival, amazing to have it all in one place --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
