### 5/5 — Glastonburry 2024 🔥🔥🔥

*2024-06-08, version 3.5.5*

OMG! This app is absolute perfection!! It’s so easy to get organised for a festival with thousands of attractions. For glasto it gives the WHOLE programme, from gigs to activities in every existing stage.
You can connect with your spotify and maybe find out that random dj you like is playing on a small tent 😂
Honestly….. best app ever made!!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-06-05, version 3.5.2*

I was looking for an app to plan my line up for Glasto ahead of the official app launch. This app is great and does everything I need - easy functionality + effective. Doubt I’ll bother with official Glasto app since finding this one.

### 3/5 — Can’t see friends plans

*2023-06-15, version 3.2.6*

I have added a friend but we can’t see each other’s plans

### 1/5 — Thought it was going to be good…

*2023-06-12, version 3.2.6*

I spend 30 mins adding artists to my plan, but it didn’t save a single one deeming the app pointless. 

Shame as I thought it was going to save me from the terrible Vodafone Glastonbury app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t save selected artists for Glastonbury 2023

*2023-06-09, version 3.2.6*

This app could be amazing and would get a handful of stars but it doesn’t save the acts that you want to see rendering it pretty much useless and also a huge waste of time once you’ve gone through the whole line up only to find it hasn’t been stored!

### 5/5 — Easy and clear

*2023-06-09, version 3.2.6*

Great app, way easier to use than some official ones

### 1/5 — Does not work without wifi

*2022-06-19, version 3.1.8*

Downloaded this app pre Glastonbury. It does everything the other reviews say it does but as it was a bit slow at home on my wifi (my wifi is not the best) decided to try it outside on 4G - and it turned out it doesn’t work at all without wifi. The app would not open properly with the little circle going round and round and eating my battery but nothing would load. Guess won’t be using it…

### 4/5 — Better for older devices

*2022-06-16, version 3.1.5*

Official Glasto app requires iOS 14 which limits many older devices. This only needs ios 12 and works for much older devices

### 5/5 — Way better than the official Glastonbury app

*2022-06-09, version 3.1.5*

Has an A-Z list and better ability to see friends’ plans and also track where your friends are. Neither of which is done on the official Glastonbury app. 👍

### 5/5 — FOMO’s magic bullet

*2022-03-19, version 2.2.3*

Great simple tool for getting the most out of your festivals / minimising time trying to coordinate with your friends.
