When using the Summerfest radio you can't go back to the app. You need to close the application completely and then relaunch the Summerfest app. Thanks
Setting up your schedule and laying out the map is great. However, the app is a slow opener which makes it inherently difficult to use with the lower bandwidth available at the grounds when things get busy. I also have issues with it loading in a timely matter outside of the grounds but there are plenty of other variables at play there.
If I am listening to music with my Bluetooth headphones and start the app, the Bluetooth disconnects and music starts blaring through my phone speakers. This even happens when I get push notifications from the app, which is completely beyond my control. So embarrassing when I am at work listening to music and trying to plan my night at Summerfest, and it’s a bad design flaw in an app specifically designed for music lovers.
Practically every band description is illegible due to unparsed HTML characters, which is absurd considering this is an app for a music festival. Speaking of absurd, you can’t bring an empty water bottle to fill inside, drinking fountains are rare and the water is warm and a small bottle of water cost $5.25.. in 90 degree heat. Milwaukee..
They left or than half the artists off the schedule. If it wasn’t a big name it wasn’t posted. There was also a glitch with the maps that made it unreadable.
I went to buy tickets online and purchased ( so I thought). It said declined, but my bank account shows a transfer of -$59. I called them the customer service was HORRIBLE. Still don't have my money I saved to go so 🤷♀️
This app makes paying for tickets such a chore, I finally gave up after three tries and decided to pay for tickets the old school way, by standing in an actual line.
“Download summerfest app to get a free ticket” but every time I enter my email address it says it’s invalid. Seems like this is a reoccurring issue for many that nobody wants to fix.
This app is useless for buying tickets. The integrated web viewer is horrible. Just go online with safari. Also, the online tickets don't integrate with Apple wallet.
One of the things I've used this app for is marking favorites as I go along, discovering new bands that I want to follow up on and check out later when I get home. However, I've found that it's impossible to go back to see bands that played on previous days, even those you mark as favorites! I love that by default the lineup shows the upcoming shows, but if we choose to scroll back or pick favorites from certain days, we should be able to do so! Please change this in the app so I can find all the groups I enjoyed at the fest!
The only thing the app needs to add is whether or not the concert is free. If general admission does not include this concert, maybe it could provide a link to buy tickets? Otherwise this app is perfect for figuring which band is playing when and where.
This app is terrible! You can't view any event without an Applebee's ad taking over the entire screen. Searching and sorting is terrible and awkward. For such an amazing event to have an abomination of an app is a travesty
First, ignore any ratings that are older than 2021! The 2021 app is MUCH better than before. This is a good thing, because they don’t print detailed schedules anymore. After clicking on an artist’s name, you can see their bio and then go to links on Spotify, YouTube, etc. to listen to them. You can search for artists using a genre (e.g., blues). You will get artists with Blues in their bio, which will include more artists than you may be interested in, but at least you will see all those that are in the blues genre. You can look at the schedule by time or place. You can mark an artist as a favorite and you will be notified before they start to play. You can also search for food at Summerfest using this app. You can search for a type of food (e.g., tacos) or see all the vendors near you or in alpha order. Definitely a great job by the Summerfest folks on updating this app. Too bad they can’t remove all the one stars they got from the app versions before this one.
