Horribly made app, all information should just be on the website but they hide it on the app so it can track your location and spam you with adverts, like getting notifications for buying pizzas at co-op. App works horribly like it was made by a work experience kid, information that appeared was wrong and kept changing. App constantly tracked location and killed my battery while on-site.
Poor information hierarchy; no schedule as such - you have go into stage and then artist to see start times. There’s no end times and no overview to see what’s happening at any stage at a given time. Impossible to plan this way; links open in a browser opening more and more tabs as you try to find anything. Awful.
Currently, the app is just a landing page with 4 buttons that just take you to a web page. There's no information actually stored in the app. Apparently there should be an interactive site map and full set times available but I can't find those and navigating using the buttons takes you to webpages, making the app redundant (I could search the website without it and if I'm in a field with no signal, it won't help me). Hopefully this is fixed in the next week, if so I would update my review, but currently I can't see it being that helpful.
No improvement from the last App
Since the app just opens up the download website no matter what you click on, I’ll just use the website.
I’m a big fan of: - how the site map only shows the stages in a field, no stalls, no camps, no anything - the merch function advertised doesn’t show up anywhere - the schedule shows all bands playing on the day selected… no idea what time or where, but I know they will be some time that day…. Can’t even compare timeings like on clash finder All in all, not great …
Fix the dam map it is broken
Finally, an update to the app with 2 weeks to go. Does it work? No!! Map only shows location of the stages. Unable to plan and coordinate with large groups in different parts of the festival site. Links send you to the website, not embedded in the app. Not much usable content. Come on - you can do better than this!
Some people have the map, some don’t. All I get is an Apple map with stages on top of it, no actual Download site map. Bit of a downgrade from last years map.
It’s 4 weeks till I go to download and it’s still showing all last years information on it, there seems to be a glitch as this years bands aren’t on it yet they’ve been announced.
