Diese App hilft dir beim Festival den Überblick zu behalten. Einmal gestartet hast du deine Inhalte offline in deiner Hosentasche immer dabei. Mit dem TImetable behältst du auch bei vielen parallelen Shows den Überblick. Markiere deine Favoriten oder Filtere nach Bühnen. Wenn du wissen willst was jetzt gerade läuft hilft die die LiveOnStage Ansicht, die du auch als Widget einbinden kannst. OpenFestivalGuide ist eine Idee die ich schon vor 15 Jahren angefangen nun mache ich einen Neustart und diese iPhone Version ist der erste Wurf. Die App wird sich noch weiter entwickeln und es werden weiter Festivals hinzukommen. Nun starten wird mit dem MPS Bückeburg 1 und 2 sowie dem Oldenburger Kultursommer. Ich freue mich das du die App installiert und Teil dieses Projekts wirst.
