This is just an up-to-date electronic version of the printed schedule you get at the Info Booth. In 2024, the acts had a bio, so you could easily tell what is their genre, a brief history and then search the acts by a word, like “blues” and you would get all the shows that had “blues” in their bio. Next year, please add at least the music genre back to a brief bio so we know whether we might be interested in seeing them.

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..
