## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's accurate interactive map, detailed food and vendor information, and improvements over past versions. However, many find the inability to view and navigate to favorites on the map frustrating. The app also lacks consistency and some features from older versions, such as marking favorites as done and comprehensive vendor location info. Searching for entertainment is limited, and performance issues during busy times further impact usability.

### Cons

- Poor integration of favorites and inability to see all favorites in one place on the map.
- Inconsistencies and missing features compared to previous versions, including no way to mark favorites as 'done' and missing vendor location info in food listings.
- Issues with searching for specific entertainment or music events beyond the grandstand.
- Performance problems when the fair is crowded and data is slow, reducing app usability.
