App Profile: Electric Forest Festival

This place is so much more than a music festival. Coming to electric forest was one of the most life changing and eye opening experiences in my life. I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 19 and I really didn’t want to let that stop me from coming back my second year, so I didn’t. It ended up being something that brought me out of a place I really didn’t want to be, and for that I’ll be forever thankful to all of those involved in bringing this amazing festival together! The people, the artists, the workers, and who can forget the food trucks! I’m telling you, you need to be there!

The lineup feature is nice because you can find people in alphabetical order, but you can’t see why times they play. IMO that feature is fairy useless. Additionally - it would be nice for “My Schedule” to filter the UI of the schedule screen. Changing to a new screen to show everything linearly/not separated by day seems like a weird choice. (This is the big one for me; the schedule feature is 90% of the reason to use the app.) The app still functions, hence the 4 stars, but there are just some strange UX/UI choices that I feel have made the app a worse experience than the previous years.

I love Electric Forest and everything they do. It’s a excellent event that supports good causes and brings together some of the kindest, coolest people on Earth. However, I think some more time could have been spent testing their application before their 2018 update stumbled onto the App Store. The app crashes at almost every turn, whether it’s sharing a schedule with friends or simply jumping between artists on the Lineup, the app just cannot stay afloat. While I can slowly build my personal schedule out by re-launching the app, it dies frequently enough for me to consider a pen and paper solution. But it has to be said, it looks great on an iPhone X. EDIT: After deleting and reinstalling the app a lot of the issues I mentioned have been fixed. I’m going to bump this guy to the 5 stars it deserves for being as close to bug free as can reasonably be expected.
