Ratings and reviews

I'm baffled why an event the size of Edinburgh Fringe can't get a decent app. For the 2024 version, I wasn't even able to log in to view shows. This year, I can log in, see the listings but can't actually buy tickets. App says added to basket, but then basket is empty. It also crashes.

The app is preoccupied with the internet connection. When it decides that the connection is gone, it quits working. This happens half of the time when you access the app, even though the connection is fine. Even when the app opens OK, it commonly loses all my booked shows. When you uninstall it and reinstall, the shows may come back. What a disrespect for the Festival customers!

The worst app I have ever had the misfortune to use. What's on nearby was a joke in itself. Standing outside Patterhouse at 4pm yesterday and there was nothing on according to this feature. Before the festival I earmarked some shows. Sadly, I couldn't then bring any information up about these shows from my favourites list, just buy tickets. No way of finding shows by date and time.
