User Reviews

The app is valued for parade tracking and planning, but reviewers repeatedly cite three drawbacks: intrusive ads, GPS/location inaccuracies, and incomplete parade coverage. It remains useful and popular for knowing when to head out, yet usability is hampered by ad overload and data reliability concerns.

Pros

Helps plan and time parades; know when to leave and where to stand
Generally functional and reliable for tracking even in crowded conditions
Popular parade-tracking app among locals; widely used
Provides useful route and timing information for attendees

Cons

Intrusive, frequent pop-up ads disrupt usage; many users would pay to remove them
GPS/location accuracy issues; parades appear in wrong places and updates can lag
Incomplete parade coverage; not all parades are included and some routes/times are missing or out of order
Occasional instability such as blank home screen or data loading problems

Recent reviews

The map constantly moves back to the parade start when trying to zoom in along the route. Very annoying! Can’t find places of interest or street names along the route

Was able to do it last year and it was supposed to be included this year along with a lot of improvements. Window constantly moves with the front of the parade when I am trying to find points of interest near me.

For the life of me, I don’t know why this doesn’t have 1000s of 5 star reviews, so I’ll make my contribution. Everyone I know in NOLA uses it not just for MG, but the parades all year round. It works really well and being walking distance from the route, is soooo great to know exactly when to leave! Being born and raised, this is such an upgrade to the old days when you rushed out there only to sit for two hours. Hahaha. They obviously work really hard to make this happen and I find it works really well. So good job, team, and thank you!!!! 👏👏👏
