I want to see the map with JUST my favorites, the things I’ve plotted out, my food stops, my entertainment, my places, all in one place easy to view so I can plan my walk efficiently! Otherwise, very good!
This app could be great. The map is not interactive so you select a place and you can’t go to the full details of the place you selected. Food side need to be better at navigating and searching. Would be great to be able to plan a day ahead of time with events and things you want to see with notifications on upcoming events.
Great for seeing & planning what concerts you want to attend, including the free stages; however, the majority of the time when I try to use the app it closes abruptly. Annoying.
Leaves you wanting much more to the degree of frustration
The best feature of this app was the ability to see a live listing of events by location so you could see what was going on in real time. The map was just a static image like the printed brochure. What happened to the beacon and GPS technology? For me it was nowhere to be found in the app other than settings- making it useless to find things I was interested in without looking at the paper map. Why can’t it show me on the map where a particular vendor or activity is? Seems like there is potential for another year.
It’s faster to find what’s happening in the paper or on the website itinerary. The website itinerary widget is nice, so I downloaded this thinking it’d be the same, but nope. When asked to sign up for notifications so I’d be told about changes in events and emergency warnings I thought “sure, sounds good.” However all I’ve seen so far is hype messages like “there’s nothing like the Iowa State Fair!” 🙄 I’m here, you don’t need to promote to me. Don’t waste my data unless necessary.
It’s nice to be able to see the food offerings in advance and the prices, but if you don’t show us on the map where the booth is, what use is it? It appears a location code is given but it doesn’t correspond with the map in the app. Location 40295 doesn’t mean a thing to me - location G-12 would be much more helpful.
Map and search don’t work. Tried to search for “Quilts” but got “No Results”. Found a listing for a food vendor to try on the app tried to use the app’s map to tool, but it said “no location found”! ugh! What a waste of time!
This app is not working at all. Where is the app from Des Moines register that had all the events, locations, maps, and where we could plan and save our itinerary? That’s what we need.
I’m a first time fair goer and downloaded this to make the best use of my time at the fair. Once downloaded- all I got was a Home Screen with access to nothing.
Nothing Compares to the Official Iowa State Fair App! Gain access to the map, food locations, schedule, grandstand shows and more! Frequently ranked as one of the top events in the country, the Iowa State Fair is the single largest event in the state of Iowa and one of the oldest and largest agricultural and industrial expositions in the country. Annually attracting more than a million people from all over the world, the Iowa State Fair, located at East 30th and East University, just 10 minutes from downtown Des Moines, is Iowa’s greatest celebration with a salute to the best in agriculture, industry, entertainment and achievement.
