User Reviews

Overall, reviewers say the 2025 app is faster and easier to navigate than prior years, with improved usability and load times. However, recurring issues include reliability problems (crashes, freezing, login issues, schedule loss) and missing features (timeline view, My Schedule, cross-device syncing). A few users rely on printed guides or patron spreadsheets due to these gaps. The verdict is improved usability but ongoing stability and feature gaps during the festival.

Pros

Faster, easier-to-navigate schedule compared with previous years.
The 2025 update is seen as the best version so far.
General usability improvements and faster load times for the schedule.

Cons

Reliability and stability problems: the app won’t open or freezes, with sign-in issues and schedules getting lost.
Missing essential features and cross-device syncing: no timeline view, no dedicated My Schedule, and no account sync.
Some users resort to printing or external spreadsheets due to gaps in the app.

App seems much better so far. Add your favorites and then they are highlighted in yellow on the schedule. Clicking through to each event then lets you click through to the venue location which pulls up your location on the map. Would like the option to create an account to synchronize data across devices.

I’ve been to each BE, and used each app since the beginning. The version for 2025, was the best. Where is ‘My Shedule’? Please bring back the separate display that only shows my choices. I don’t want to keep seeing shows I’ve decided not to see.
