Going tonight. I love being able to plan my trip and get reminders. Love how event focused it is.

This app is a mostly festival focused version of the mobile website. The biggest plus is the festival map which show your location. If you are new to the DIF or don’t want to carry the paper map that’s worthwhile. The initial app screen wants you to login with Facebook while saying they care about my privacy. The Facebook integration may be useful to some but privacy oriented it cannot be. The app has fairly prominent ads for the company that “powers” the app for the DIF. The ads are clickable so you find yourself looking at those instead of the artist. App has Spotify integration which might be helpful in checking out artists when trying to decide what to see. Couldn’t test because I’m have Apple Music. Major Plus Interactive map Minor pluses Easy access to list of entertainers and schedules. Unsure Easier Facebook posting? Minor negative App maker promoting itself in unfriendly places with clickable ads.
