## Review summary

The app provides extensive schedules and planning resources with food previews, but suffers from major reliability and navigation issues, including a non-functional map/search, instability, unhelpful notifications, and a need for more detailed information and planning features.

### Pros

- Extensive event listings and scheduling to help plan the fair visit.
- Helpful for planning concerts and deciding what to attend.
- Previews of food options and prices to compare vendors.
- Updates for staff/volunteers on grounds.

### Cons

- Map and search features are unreliable or non-functional (non-interactive map, searches returning 'No Results' or mismapped locations).
- App stability issues (frequent crashes, freezes, or won't load).
- Notifications are promotional and not useful (waste data).
- Location data often doesn't align with the map; codes don't correspond and GPS/beacon features are absent.
- Users want more information and planning tools (more venue details, day-ahead planning, favorites).
