the app states that it should work offline and with low service but even when I am connected to wifi or have fast service the app rarely opens. most of the time the app doesn’t open no matter how long i wait for it to load. the concept of the app is great but it doesn’t work as well as i had hoped.
This app works about as well as the festival did, HORRIBLY! They claimed it would work in “offline modes” but it didn’t at all. They also claimed they were going to have cell phone boosters for all 3 major service providers. Once the fest started the only time we could get cell service was in the wee hours of the morning when everyone was sleeping. And the app never worked offline. Oh yea, & we were able to get the app working after the festival was canceled & everyone left when the stage crew went on strike because of poor working conditions! The same poor conditions we got in the campsite. 1 water station (NOT 12 AS PROMISED!), security that had no idea what was going on. Garbages that never got emptied. And bathrooms that never got serviced. This app & this fest were 100% garbage. STAY AWAY!!! From both.
The app does not work offline as promised! It does store the data in app of opened while with internet access, but if the app is closed accidentally, it cannot be opened back up without wifi or cellular. The schedule layout is not very convenient to use. It’s be easier if it was displayed all at one time per day, scrolling does not help to determine what overlaps with what and which stage has what artists.
I’ll give it 3 stars only because it saved my artist, generated a schedule for each day for my artist and showed me the map when I selected it. This app is by Etix. I’ve seen the other reviews where schedules were not showing or it kicked people off, so I’m hesitant about giving it 5 stars because there seems to always be a problem later. Hopefully this will be smooth sailing from here on out.
Tons of space lots of different bands. Granted this was the first time this was ever done for the location you are it it was OK. Maybe next year will be 10 times better and put Woodstock to shame.
The app won’t even open! It tells some people they are running the old version but when they update it it still doesn’t work! My app just shows the opening screen and doesn’t go past that! Blue ridge rock festival needs to get their stuff together. Making people pay tons of money for a festival that they weren’t even prepared for! Why have an app if it doesn’t even work?
When you go into your schedule all of the artists that you stared wanting to see do not populate. It tells you to go back into artist and select the ones you would like to see on your schedule. The app was ok last year I hope the kinks get worked out soon.
Everything works other than the fact when I try to switch days when you picked your schedule, it kicks me out when I pick a different day. Is this happening to anyone else?
Even when I had service, it wouldn’t load. We would be back at our Airbnb on wifi or even at the festival when I was able to view Facebook notifications, the app wouldn’t load. Some bands had the incorrect set time and this app was usually updated way after any social media accounts.
I’ve deleted and reinstalled that app many times as well as restarting my phone and the app just seems to be stuck on the black main page with the logo on it.
So is this app done yet can’t make a schedule like it says also can’t check the map out like it says just wondering cause of all it’s gonna do is show me a list of bands I’m going to get rid of
When I downloaded this app, it just takes me to the first screen that says the title of the festival. It doesn’t let me do anything. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling it, and also with WiFi and without using WiFi and using data instead. Nothing has worked.
The app will not load, I have deleted and reinstalled it. Still same result. I continue to receive push notifications to check the app and it still will not load up.
When you really need it, you can’t use the app because the event has too many people trying to use it at once and not enough bandwidth to support its use.
Festival starts tomorrow and the app quits working the today….stuck at the loading screen so I’m guessing once it’s fixed I will have to completely redo my whole schedule again…
This app for 2023 isn't working. Just downloaded for the first time and all it does is show the opening screen with the blue ridge bear and website name, etc., but doesn't go to any sort of homepage or anything clickable.
This is a review for the whole experience. Theres no coordination. They canceled it for nothing. Little rain. The only day where everything halfway worked was Friday. Don’t go to Blue Ridge!!! You’ll waste your time AND money.
It was working fine when i first downloaded it. Now it just sits at the BRRF logo at the beginning and I’ve sat here for 30 minutes trying to get it to work.
App does not work Also, DO NOT ATTEND BLUE RIDGE! If you have tickets contact your bank and try to get a backcharge! Poor planning, straight up lying to out faces, and extremely unsafe conditions are just a few examples of what I saw at blue ridge rock fest 2023. :(
Why would you have a festival app that doesn't contain the festival map automatically downloaded. The app will barely work with the spoty signal at the venue.
Worst festival ever. They should not be in business. Trust me it is a disaster. The shuttle buses alone is absolutely the worst. Plan on waiting hours for everything. Don’t go!!! Find another festival!!!
Cons/issues: Spotify won't connect. My schedule unless all 4 days have star’d bands will kick you out of the app. With all 4 days 1 day is missing and for me that's Sunday. Pros: Clean and easy to navigate. What you absolutely need to see you can. Well thought out and will be great once it works correctly. Will update rating when fixed.
