WWL Mardi Gras Parade Tracker User Reviews

CanT be trusted

It looks like the parade has stopped. Nope. That’s just the app has stopped updating.

Much Better than the WDSU app

This app is the one you want. The WDSU app is disappointing!

Pretty unreliable.

I have always used this as my go to parade tracker. But 2023, they must just be lazy. Routes are incorrect. Locations for parade progress are wayyyyyy off. Do yourself a favor and download the WDSU app. Turns out they report the parades better too.

Stop with auto play

The tracker works I guess. Trying to do anything else in the app will automatically play video and interrupt your music.

Not all parades listed for small communities

What is the point of having the app if it does not help? I live in Thibodaux and only one out of five parades is listed. Thibodaux 1234

Don’t work

Does not work will not load the actual tracker

Not all parades are listed

I would give this app a 5 star rating but you guys forgot to include the st.patricks day parade in olde towne slidell on march 8,2020.since i live out here i would like to know all the info about it and now im stuck trying to find the route.all parades should be included.

Mardi Gras Happiness

This app is a must during carnival!
Knowing where the parade is helps us get to the route on time! It also helps get around the parades when needed.

They are tracking back of parades!

Super useful.

Finally, an End of the parade tracker !

It’s about time somebody got a live tracker for the END of the parade.
> When attempting to time the pick-up so you’re can be there right before the end of the parade, so the kids aren’t standing on the crowded street waiting.
Only knowing where the beginning of the parade is useless when picking people up.

Better than before

This app has improved in the past year or so. It used to use so much data that it didn’t work in a crowded area. That problem has largely been solved.

My one criticism- The route for Endymion has not been updated. It says that it’s ending at the Convention Center, but the map shows it ending at the Superdome.

Worse

This is worse parade tracker app

Best Mardi Gras app

Always works and has the most accurate parade info, routes and updates.

This is one of your Mardi Gras Essentials!

No more guessing! This app tells you right where the parade is!

It tracks over 65 parades.
It is perfect for you Mardi Gras planning.

The only Mardi Parade Tracker you’ll need!

This app delivered as promised! It took me and my family right to where the parade was. No guessing! The only Mardi Parade app you’ll need! Don’t leave home without it!

Awesome parade tracker

This app is so useful. It’s great to know where the floats are so my kids will have their hands up ready to catch beads! Happy Mardi Gras. Thanks WWL.

Need a tracker at the end

I will continue to be annoyed by not having a tracker at the end of the parades downtown. The tracker is good, but if the parade broke down or the tracker has passed, then this whole thing is useless. Buy a few of those GPS Tiles and stick it on the back of the fire trucks instead of using another tracker car. Let’s complain to the competition to see who can provide this feature first 🙄

FAIL for 2 (NO ! - 3 years) years in a row

Now that it's Mardi Gras, and people are trying to use this app, it is absolutely not working - just like last year.

WDSU's tracker looks good, though.

Whatever parade I choose, it just says "locating parade" and can't even draw a map much less find a parade.

Like it but

Used for the Houma 1st Friday night parade, Hercules. Used again in Sunday very helpful. I pulled it up to check on the Aquarius parade and there was nothing. Please try to update and put all Houma parades

Functional app!

This app does exactly what it’s supposed to. It gives your location and where the beginning of the parade is. My only request would be for how many floats each parade has. I have not found that feature in the app. It would be super useful to know when you’re running late if you’ll be able to catch some of it or go to another spot on the route to catch it.
