Official Summerfest 2024 App

Practically every band description is illegible due to unparsed HTML characters, which is absurd considering this is an app for a music festival. Speaking of absurd, you can’t bring an empty water bottle to fill inside, drinking fountains are rare and the water is warm and a small bottle of water cost $5.25.. in 90 degree heat. Milwaukee..

Setting up your schedule and laying out the map is great. However, the app is a slow opener which makes it inherently difficult to use with the lower bandwidth available at the grounds when things get busy. I also have issues with it loading in a timely matter outside of the grounds but there are plenty of other variables at play there.

Downloaded the app and selected the bands I want to go see and now it doesn’t load …

They left or than half the artists off the schedule. If it wasn’t a big name it wasn’t posted. There was also a glitch with the maps that made it unreadable.

Keep trying to view the schedule and adjust my favorite artists, but just keeps crashing.

“Download summerfest app to get a free ticket” but every time I enter my email address it says it’s invalid. Seems like this is a reoccurring issue for many that nobody wants to fix.

“Claim your weekday ticket” option fails with “invalid email.” Tried three different email addresses, several times, with the same result.

First, ignore any ratings that are older than 2021! The 2021 app is MUCH better than before. This is a good thing, because they don’t print detailed schedules anymore. After clicking on an artist’s name, you can see their bio and then go to links on Spotify, YouTube, etc. to listen to them. You can search for artists using a genre (e.g., blues). You will get artists with Blues in their bio, which will include more artists than you may be interested in, but at least you will see all those that are in the blues genre. You can look at the schedule by time or place. You can mark an artist as a favorite and you will be notified before they start to play. You can also search for food at Summerfest using this app. You can search for a type of food (e.g., tacos) or see all the vendors near you or in alpha order. Definitely a great job by the Summerfest folks on updating this app. Too bad they can’t remove all the one stars they got from the app versions before this one.

I’m sure I’d give it a much higher rating if it would install. It says it’s compatible with my iPhone, but doesn’t download. Fail. :(

This app makes paying for tickets such a chore, I finally gave up after three tries and decided to pay for tickets the old school way, by standing in an actual line.
