User Reviews

Users like the Illinois State Fair app for navigation, day-by-day planning, and its all-in-one event information. However, multiple reviews flag outdated/incorrect data, missing events and locations, weak search/filter options, and inconsistent listing details. Overall, the app is helpful for orientation and planning but needs substantial data updates and better content organization to improve reliability.

Pros

Helps you navigate the fair and locate venues using maps and GPS search.
Schedule/calendar is easy to use and aids day-by-day planning.
All-in-one source with broad event and venue information.
Provides timely updates/notifications about events (and related alerts).

Cons

Outdated or inaccurate data for vendors, food, and 2025 fair details, reducing reliability.
Missing events and locations in the schedule; some items (e.g., ARCA race, certain tents) aren’t shown and search results are incomplete.
Lack of organization features and filters (no category for specials, no grand stage grouping, limited event-type filtering).
Content inconsistencies such as items lacking locations or complete details in listings.

Recent reviews

The app supposedly updated 2 weeks ago for 2025..app still states all of the info for merchants and food is still old from 2024. This review is written 2 days before the 2025 fair. Not a surprise considering who is running the State as a whole into the ground. Pretty shoddy to say the least.

The Daily Schedule is easier to scroll/search through vs the website, but when you click an event, it shows the incorrect day. Starting at 7 pm it lists the date and day as the next day, which is incorrect. It could be a time zone setting your webmaster needs to fix. The app would also benefit from a main grand stage grouping and/or an event type filter, i.e. music. Also, the “app support” link in the App Store only goes to the website, not actual web support. (And the contact us on the website doesn’t work, at least not on mobile. Hence the low rating and review to communicate these issues.

Fire whoever’s cousin designed this app. Horrible. Never complete. Never accurate. And don’t have a category like “specials” if there are NO specials. JB, please throw some money at this problem and let’s have a great app for a great fair.
