### 3/5 — Has a lot of info, but very early 00s

*2023-08-26*

Has the events, the camps, the music guide! However, app feels very much like an early 00s app. Text can be hard to read places. Doesn't feel like an iOS app.

### 4/5 — Great app but one thing

*2023-08-22*

Love this app! However, my phone is usually on dark mode because I have vision problems. When I open this app, half of it is white text on white background.

### 2/5 — STILL need to fix font text color in iOS dark mode

*2023-08-21*

The text becomes white on white in significant parts of the app when iOS is set to dark mode. Has been this way for years for some mysterious reason.

**Developer response:** The app has never supported Dark Mode because in the limited amount of time I have to work on the app each year, there are always much higher priority issues.  I have disabled Dark Mode in the app this year so at the very least you should no longer have difficulty reading text, although it is a less-than-ideal solution.

### 2/5 — No way to find music?

*2022-08-24*

I saw that Rockstar Librarian said her guide was added to this app, but as of now I can’t find where.  It would be great to be able to favorite certain sets on here, but the “bands” section does not seem to show any DJ sets, just “events” related to music.  Searching by artist name doesn’t help either.  Maybe RSL hasn’t been implemented yet?

Besides that, the UI is pretty rough.  White text over white or light backgrounds makes it impossible to read, you can’t currently read the release notes.  And nested menus are pretty broken.  I’ll keep checking it out the rest of the week to see if it gets updated before I leave for the Playa, but in its current state it is not useful.

### 3/5 — Unreadable for Dark display setting

*2022-08-22, version 2022.1*

Works fine for the Light display setting, but the app is pretty much unusable on Dark mode

### 4/5 — No app for 2022??

*2022-08-15*

I’m so sad! This app has always been my planner so I don’t miss out on my favorite camps and events. It’s helped me adventure out and find camps I never would have found otherwise

### 5/5 — So key to my burn sad to not see it back

*2022-08-04*

So sad not to see it back for 2022. This was a big part of my 2019 burn being so lovely between finding my friends and and keeping reminded of things. Thank you for all the hard work you done in the past I will morn the apps passing at the temple.

### 5/5 — 2022 update?

*2022-06-21*

Just wondering if you are planning a 2022 version? This was a fantastic tool in 2019 and helped me have a great experience at the event. Hoping for an update!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-09-17, version 2019.3*

Amazing app. Thank you for the gift

Keep up the great work

### 5/5 — Every Year

*2019-09-12*

I love this app. It is a must have every year. I go through all the events before getting to Burning Man, that way I only use the app on airplane mode and have everything I might want to check out saved. Also the checklist is wonderful to use as well! Thank you for all your hard work each year.

### 5/5 — Fantastic tool

*2019-09-11, version 2019.3*

So glad for this app! I’ve use it pre/post Burn to look up artworks, to find information on camps and art pieces throughout the week and afterwards looking at my own pics. Thanks for doing this for our community!

### 5/5 — Use it multiple times a day

*2019-09-11*

Great map. easy to find and organize friends camps

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2019-09-11*

These guys do an amazing job and it gets better and better every year 
thank you so much it really helps find all the things we want to do at the burn

### 5/5 — Amazingly useful and well designed

*2019-09-11*

Can’t say enough good things about Time To Burn. The designers are dedicated to creating and maintaining a highly user friendly, attractive, and glitch-free app. They should be commended for their attention to detail and their responsiveness when app changes are necessary or could improve functionality.

### 5/5 — Qwerty

*2019-09-10, version 2019.3*

Test

### 5/5 — Developed by burners for burners!!

*2019-09-10*

I have used this app since I heard of it. They come out with so many (new) features every year.... This year while out at the burn, people were just asking me simple things like where was the nearest Porto’s, the app allowed you to press a button (for emergency (first aid/medical) and the restrooms, it then gave you a clear arrow/(compass style) directed you in that direction- I would tell people, “Walk directly straight in this direction.” ...... just an idea of how helpful the app could (or couldn’t) be! Lots of my friends who have been going for years, never even use this app & they are left using their precious time out on playa (which goes way faster) using maps and being radically self reliant in other time consuming ways. I especially like all of the art info. This year alone (2019) there were more than 400 art pieces, lots weren’t even on the map! I really like learning about the different art pieces that I stumble upon while out there, adding special notes to them & (for some) learning from an audio tour how to better interact with the art piece. I also like adding my friends camps/camps that I like for future reference as well, or just to find them!! I would seriously be lost without a map & the map/whole app, function on airplane mode! I can’t say enough good things about this app. It also integrated the Rock Star Librarians music guide (this year) as well as burner maps (to find friends camps). Can’t wait for next years & hopefully I will have a lot more time to explore the apps new features before heading out to the Playa <3 thank you guys - dusty hugs from TOMB R8RR / ReRun

### 5/5 — Wonderful gift to the community

*2019-08-16*

This app is a great way to find an organized camps and events.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 😭😭lost all my favorites

*2023-08-21, version 2023.1*

The most recent app update wiped out all the events I had favorited.

### 1/5 — App not updates

*2023-08-11, version 2022.1*

Colors are all white on light so I can’t read them and it’s still says stuff about 2022.

### 1/5 — Formatting is wonky

*2022-08-22, version 2022.1*

I don’t know why, but on my phone I can’t read half the text… it’s like black text on black background or white text on white background.

### 1/5 — Horrible customer service

*2019-08-13*

The people that run this app are horrible people. They couldn’t be bothered with trying to help fix problems that arise when, you know, problems happen. They also have NO clue what’s happening with their app across multiple platforms. Don’t bother with this app. Go old school and use the WWW when you get to the gate at Burning Man to figure out events.

**Developer response:** Posting a spiteful review and rating for revenge, instead of actually on the merits of an app is pretty low.

### 1/5 — Broken.

*2015-09-10, version 2015.3*

Would crash within a few seconds.

### 1/5 — Aug 30: don't update

*2015-08-30, version 2015.3*

Was working fine, updated before leaving and it's crashing. Too bad....

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing  :(

*2015-08-28, version 2015.3*

Not sure what happened but now the app keeps crashing on my iPhone 6+ and a friend's 4s.  It was working before this last update.  :(

### 1/5 — Crashtastic and bad UI/UX

*2015-08-26, version 2015.3*

This app crashes constantly to the point it's unusable. Before it crashes part of the already sad UI tends to flash rapidly. From what I've seen of the UI it doesn't lend its self to good UX. it's bloated with out any visual cues for hierarchy. It also doesn't consider basic design principles for form or function let alone visual concepts like color. Much like the parent site burningman.org which also gives a middle finger to the color blind.

### 1/5 — Crashes after 10 seconds of use

*2015-08-25, version 2015.3*

This used to be the best app to find the perfect party at any given moment.   Now, it's the best app at making me want to launch my phone off my balcony at any given moment.

### 1/5 — Sad.....

*2015-08-24, version 2015.3*

As a first timer going to burning man, this app was an amazing tool for me to get a feel for things. Now? I'm lucky if it stays open for more than 5 mins. CRASHER

### 5/5 — Great app but one thing

*2023-08-24*

Love this app! However, my phone is usually on dark mode because I have vision problems. When I open this app, half of it is white text on white background.

Edited: 5 stars bc fixed the bug!

### 5/5 — Thank you! Dark mode?

*2023-08-23*

Update: And like that, the dark mode contrast is fixed and looks great. What an amazing gift to the community. Thanks!

This is such a treasured gift to the community. I run my phone in dark mode to save power, but it makes the colors almost unreadable on the app. Would you be able to solve for this? Thanks!

**Developer response:** I definitely will try to add in support for Dark Mode next year.  Dusty hugs!
