Eventbrite 4+

I love, love, love Eventbrite.

It has absolutely revolutionised my life. Have taken part in life changing creative workshops and business seminars.

When friends outside London are visiting we’ve gone to fantastic festivals, markets and theatre performances. Did I mention I’ve met some great people along the way too and that in some cases we’ve become good friends?

Eventbrite is the best event resource any city could wish for, not just London, have travelled to other cities to take part in events and I’m always recommending friends and family to check it out. Getting the app is an absolute must, very easy to use, to be honest, it’s a bit addictive, so many fun and practical things to take part in.

Eventbrite makes finding the things you love to do so easy. You may also find things you wouldn’t normally do, for me that was cartoon sketching classes that was a blast! There are so many exciting adventures and Eventbrite connects you too them, literally a click away. Go for it and have the best time enjoying the things you love and learning something new in your city.

Eventbrite will enrich your life. Big thanks.

Takes a long time to make an event, and then won’t let you make more than one, as the screens freeze after making an publishing one. Usually have to come back a few hours later and have another go. A few weird screen setting bugs mean the very detailed screens don’t always display well on a smart phone. Generally not too bad but you have to have all your text pre made so you can just copy paste into the forms and boxes and even then sometimes the whole thin hangs because the drag and drop for photos (event photo banners and headers) decides not to work. Could be less temperamental and there’s no function to report something not working. If it is then great (but tideous) if not tough. Occasionally does weird things to ticket sales times ending them early or not starting them at all. Again, you have to go back and check your events are as you wanted them and have the right dates/times etc.

This app is abysmal. While the events might be great. This app isn’t. Simply functions like search are unusable. Have the developers or testers actually used this app? Searching for known events whether by event name or by event organiser returns events that are not even related, so I rely on a Google search instead.

If I click on a link via an email or a web link, it opens this app and goes to the main page rather than to the event I’ve clicked on. To get around these issues, I have to either get a link to the actual event from someone else or if I’m lucky do a search via a Google or something. Once I have the link, copy it and paste it into my browser, login and save the event so I can then see it via the app. It’s this kind of development ineptness that makes this app unusable, and it’s been exactly like this for years, since the app has been released, as I noticed the search issues soon after. It would be great to have a workable app. Until then, I’ll use the website instead.
