This app is designed to maximize your Edinburgh Fringe Experience in the time that you are in Edinburgh.
Simply enter the shows you would like to see, and give each one a rating for how much you would like to see it. This app will then schedule as many shows during your visit as it can, ensuring your highest-rated shows are included wherever possible!
Your budget, walking speed and other preferences are taken into account during this, and your schedule can be re-calculated at any time if you discover other shows you would also like to see.
You can Search for Shows, Browse for them or look for Nearby Shows without registering. But if you want to use the app to its fullest you can Register your basic details. This allows your choices to be remembered, and you can use the www.planmyfringe.co.uk website and this app interchangeably with the same Wishlist, Schedule and Preferences.
We have a Recommendations section which will suggest the best shows for you personally using AI, AND a Fringe Trail which allows you to easily create a chain of shows you wish to see following on from one another, minimising walking and waiting time between shows!
You can also
- view your schedule for each day as an animated route schedule on Google Maps
- view nearby shows and make sure they don't interfere with your schedule
- add other shows you become aware of to your Wishlist and let these be slotted in
- select to ignore certain performances
- confirm shows you have booked tickets for, so that the app will not re-calculate these dates
- add non-show calendar items for anything else of interest
- search or filter by venues to see what else is on at any venue

Have a Good Fringe!
This app is an improvement over the regular fringe app. I like the “nearby afterwards” function but it’s too bad that it isn’t also a “nearby beforehand “ function. It would also be better to be able to choose genre in that function, especially because a lot of the “shows” that come up in the function are actually exhibits that are open all day for the entire fringe. Likewise if the browse feature allowed specifying time and location that would be helpful. And once we added a show to our schedule, we couldn’t delete it. Finally, it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t have a feature of actually buying tickets.
Indispensable tool for making the best of your Fringe visit

This app is phenomenal and has taken all the hard work out of optimizing my time at the Fringe and packing in as many shows as possible into my schedule. Its ability to take into account travel times between venues and find nearby shows to fill in gaps is brilliantly executed. Thank you so much to the developer(s) behind this (and the web site)!
Best Edinburgh Fringe App

I’ve used this app the last two years. It is much more user friendly than the official app. And faster. I ‘m able to search for shows nearby and soon, and can expand the search both in terms of start time and distance. I also like that it gives me travel time to the venue I’m looking at. Thanks!
Crashing

This looked like it’d be great - but any time I tried to login it would crash. Again. And again. And again. Hopeful and then crashes. If I could I’d give it zero stars - I’m just so frustrated
Introducing Fringey, the new Plan My Fringe ChatBot. It can help with using the app, recommending shows, or just providing info about the Fringe.
Also you can now add your own personal notes to any shows.
