Riotfest map

They had touted that the map was coming and when it came out it was nothing more than a pdf. It could have been interactive and working with gps to show exactly where you were on the map. Also it would have helped if it showed which way was North.

Riot fest last ever

No control of the crowd. People were getting shoved and pushed at venues.
We took the train. No extra trains like they said there would be after the shows.
Security and traffic police were rude and threatening.
Never will return…

No need for the app when the festival is terrible

Awful security, poor planning, and no accountability. Don’t go to the festival and don’t let this worthless app take up space on your phone.

Won't work with VPN

Riot Fest, your app won't work with a VPN.

I appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot. I use NordVPN. The app simply shows the cityscape background with no menu hamburger or any icons when on VPN. It does the same on iOS 15 (latest) and iOS 16 newly updated. Same in local WiFi or on LTE in the wild. iPhone XS Max, but confirmed on others.

Feature request: cache the schedule on the phone so we can see it when the Wireless service inevitably fails due to being over capacity at the fest. The app becomes useless as soon as the connection is gone.

Response from developer

Hey Busoluv! Not sure what you mean. We've tested this with ExpressVPN and had no issues with the app on any of the tabs? We certainly haven't prevented any functionality from working like you describe. The app itself is mostly views of key pages of our website, which has a pretty clear privacy policy if you're interested in reading that. Can you let us know which VPN you're using so we can test? Thanks for the feedback!

As an app developer, I would be embarrassed. You know the population of this festival. Yet you make it we dependent? Offline mode should be the default. Please stop developing apps.

Response from developer

Hey Balogna, I apologize for the issues you may have had at the festival this year. We're actually working on offline mode now, and if you can believe it, we don't actually develop the app here--it's part of an app platform that we use. Thank you for the feedback, and better luck next year!

Schedule doesn’t load

The schedule doesn’t load on two different iphones (strangely, the app works perfectly on iPad). Without the schedule, the app is almost worthless.

Hey allknowinglalseeing, Can you tell us what device you used? We've released several updates that should fix any issues with the scheduler you may have been having. The scheduler is actually built by our partners Do312. We'd be happy to report any issues you had so you don't have any issues next year. Let us know, and we'll do our best to help! -Team Riot Fest

Crashes on older devices

I have an iPhone 6 because I refuse to accept planned obsolescence and the app crashes on startup.

Response from developer

Hey UnnecessaryNickname, Apologies for the delayed response. Our app will likely not run on the older OS since that phone model was released 8 years ago. My apologies for your issues with getting the app to run on that older device. I would suggest using the Riot Fest website in a mobile browser as that will work on older devices. -Team Riot Fest
