Every year it isn’t *2025-04-09, version 9.0.0* Artist profiles with no option to listen to songs Playlist with no ability to add the artist to your favourites list. Line up page organised so it is like looking at a map with a microscope. ### 1/5 — Disappointing - what happened to this app?? *2024-05-08, version 8.0.2* Used to be good in past years. Now it’s hard to use and unhelpful. The one thing you really need to do is look at who is playing on a given day. Trying to look at lineup by day is buried and broken. Go to More menu then Lineups, then choose a day. Start scrolling and viewing artists and without fail the UX breaks and keeps returning you to top of list. Again and again. Infruriating. And the playlist feature is awful, and to add to that TGE didn’t bother with Spotify playlists this year? Why???? ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2022-05-12, version 6.0.0* Currently can’t listen to any of the samples on the app. Please fix ASAP! Links to sound cloud not working either from discover page, nor is the play symbol in top right of artists picture. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2022-05-11, version 6.0.0* Worked ok for a few days, now it continually crashes every time I try to hear an artists SoundCloud selection ### 2/5 — March 2024 update wipes out 'likes' *2024-04-03, version 8.0.1* Since the recent update not only has it wiped out previously marked artists, it won't let me like any artists now. Used to be a great way to navigate & plan for the TGE. Now it's becoming less & less reliable. ### 3/5 — Awful user experience *2025-05-13, version 9.0.0* This app is so poorly designed, discovering music and understanding the schedule is incredibly frustrating. Also, please guys, think about accessibility, I have never seen the Apple keyboard filled with different colours on another app, the contrast is shamefully bad. ### 3/5 — Fine for festival. Delegates side needs work. *2022-05-13* The app makes you sign in over and over again when you access the delegate side of the App. It’s also technically the safari browsing page I. The app instead of integrating it. The format doesn’t fit on the phone properly so you have to zoom in and out to trying to press the buttons you need. But again, don’t go to other parts of the app and try to go back because it will pretend you were never in the delegate part ### 4/5 — Pretty good! *2016-05-23, version 1.0* Used this during TGE & pretty much did all you needed, nice one! So much better than previous years efforts. For next year: zoomable planner, artist soundcloud integration, gigs by distance.. ? ### 4/5 — Excellent! *2016-05-23, version 1.0* Brilliant app, so much easier than using any book. Well designed and easy to use. Made finding bands a whole lot easier. Great work! Nitpicking but to have made this app perfect would have been links on band pages to their videos or just music track. Other small thing, when you have made a list of all highlighted bands to go see, it would have been great for them to have been put in order , date and time rather than a mixed up list. ### 5/5 — Brilliant!! *2016-05-17, version 1.0* Love the music recommender widget.... The app has helped me map my festival and has pushed me to discover new music. Perfect --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
