About

3HO Event App

Read full description

The official companion app for 3HO events — starting with Winter Solstice Sadhana Celebration 2026 (December 15–21, Lake Wales, Florida). Everything you need on site, working even with no signal: • FULL PROGRAM — browse every session by day, search, and filter by venue, category or time of day. • YOUR AGENDA — mark favorites and get a reminder 15 minutes before each one. If a favorited session changes time or venue, the app tells you. • TEACHERS — profiles and photos of every teacher and musician, with the sessions they lead. • VENUE MAP — a zoomable map of the grounds with every venue marked. • DAILY MENUS — what the kitchen is serving each day, with dish details, ingredients and dietary notes. • ANNOUNCEMENTS & ALERTS — official news from the event team, plus urgent notices delivered as notifications. • INFO HUB — arrival details, camp life, practices and FAQs, readable offline. Offline-first by design: load the app once and everything keeps working without connectivity. No account needed, no ads, no tracking. New 3HO events appear in the app as they are published — one app for every gathering.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 3HO Event App at none against Sotheby's's shown. 3HO Event App also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
