Ratings and reviews

The fair's been open 3 hours & the app still shows yesterday's schedule. This is despite it constantly asking for permission to update. The map is missing basic info such as restroom locations. Very little info regarding parking. Search function is clunky/inflexible. Feels like an app produced & run by volunteers. That's fine, but doesn't meet expectations set by similar apps.

The only reason it gets a second star is I like that I can favorite events and then they come up in chronological order and also drops pins on the map. Unfortunately the map is pretty useless as you can't zoom out. Just get the pdf version from the website as its far more functional. This is 2019. I should have all my favorite spots pinned on the map and it should be able to show me the most efficient route to get to all of them. Disapointing app even for 2010 standards.

Great for finding and marking places/foods/beverages you may want to visit. Not as good as the website or the paper maps that have way more information such as restrooms, first aid, etc. Also would be nice if the map wasn't zoomed in all the way all the time to see an overview of the grounds. Not a fan of the scrolling white tiles over the star striped background!
