2018 artist bios won’t load

This app has always been stellar. Super useful and user-friendly, absolutely needed to help make the Fest that much more fun.

This year the bios for all the bands aren’t loading when using the app. This isn’t a deal killer just a big annoyance for an otherwise great app. Is this big being worked on?

Edit: real time usage on Friday, the scrolling feature as bands’ set times would tick off doesn’t work anymore. Additionally, everything is off by an hour at least. Just got a notification that Moses Sumney was playing the Harbor Stage at about 4:25. His set ended a while ago and Rachel and Vilray was already more than halfway through their own set.

Developer Response ,

Hey JJ,
We just updated the app and bios are back! They were purposefully excluded last year but we heard you (and many like you,) and they in this version better than ever.

Hope you’ll grab it and let us k ow what you think!

Great, professional app

I saw so many people using this app over the weekend. I really like the countdown until an artist was scheduled to begin their set...very useful. It loaded quickly and had beautiful graphics. The notifications and news sections seemed somewhat redundant but all in all a very good app that went above and beyond my expectations.

Awesome app!

Yay, no more paper schedules! This app is awesome and has everything a festival go-er needs: easy to read band schedule, artist info, venue map and the ability to customize your own schedule. You guys definitely know what you are doing, great job! Now if it could only pre-order me a beer :)
