Pitchfork Music Festival 2024

If you want a push notification every hour with an ad then this is the app for you. If you want a usable map for the festival or anything else actually worthwhile just grab one of the paper pamphlets.

I don’t know what intern you didnt pay to make this app but its awful. why is the schedule screen just a scrolling mess of confusion? of the schedule was just fitted to the phone screen’s size, it would actually make sense. having to tap on the schedule in a blank area to get the menu and back button to appear is peak gaslighting design. “how do i get back home? all the buttons are gone and im stuck looking at sudan archives.” for an app thats only used once a year you put maintenance into it even less than that. i will enjoy the festival but for you to push an app that isnt even useful is clearly just a desperate grab for private data that you will end up selling 6 months from now. all of the “important” information is so inaccessible and difficult to use. can you use your tens of thousands of dollars to PAY someone to make a FUNCTIONAL and PLEASING app? thank you in advance, i know you will take this review to heart.

The timetable is very badly designed. It’s hard to tell the difference between live set or backstage interview. At least artist info should be included within the app, not just a link to Pitchfork website where you can’t really find any info about the artist either. I keep getting push notifications but the link doesn’t take me to the info, it just goes to the app homepage. Overall it looks like the old format has been used for a decade.

Schedule is wrong, doesn’t match the website. Push notifications do not link to anything.

Makes the festival a lot easier.

There are bios, song clips by artist! Makes it super easy to plan your day!

Works on an iPhone X. Has everything expected. Map isn’t up yet, but everything looks functional.

Great app and it helps me stay on track for all my shows to cover. Follow @DietrichZ_Music on Instagram as I shoot from the pits of Pitchfork.

Crashes every time I open it on my 6+ running iOS 8.4. I get the title screen, then it goes quits and reopens a few times by itself before giving up and booting me permanently to my home screen.

There's no map. How many features does a festival app really need, besides 1. A Map, and 2. A Schedule? And how much work would it have been to at least put in a friggin jpg of the map? Just pick up one of the paper map/schedule combos they hand out. This app is a huge waste of time, slathered in obnoxious "Beats" advertising.
