## Review summary

Users appreciate Mercè for its ease of use, up-to-date event info, multiple language support (including recent English), and improved design. However, many complain that key event details remain only in Catalan/Spanish, filtering features are inadequate or buggy, favorites management is lacking, and event visualization could be enhanced with map views. Overall, while the app helps plan the festival well, language barriers and UX issues impede the experience for non-local users.

### Pros

- App is easy to use and fast with precise and up-to-date information.
- Provides helpful scheduling and location details including maps for events and activities.
- Available in multiple languages including English support added recently.
- Allows filtering by days, spaces, and moments for event programming.
- Overall positive feedback about redesign and fluidity improvements this year.

### Cons

- Core event information is only available in Catalan (and sometimes Spanish) limiting usability for non-Catalan/Spanish speakers despite menu language options.
- Filtering options are inadequate or reset unexpectedly, making event search difficult.
- Some users report loss of favorite events after updates and lack of sorting/filtering functionality for favorites.
- App design and event visualization lacks easy map views or comprehensive event overviews according to several users.
- Criticism for manipulative ticketing/status information and unwanted image downloads.
