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

Very useful app - but missing a couple of key features
_Arthur _
This app makes planning a trip to The Fringe so much easier. Anyone who has been will know that simply the vast number of shows to choose from means figuring out the logistics for any visit can be daunting. This app remove a lot of the pain and time in working this out.It would benefit from two additional features:1. Adding Start Time to the search filter - at present, you can only filter by date2. Being able to input multiple date ranges for visits. At present, you can only put in one date range as the app seems to assume that people only visit once. I typically visits a few different days throughout August and want to be able to plan a schedule for the whole month, not by one day at a time.
Essential for Edinburgh Fringe planning

I’ve been using this app for years. The team have carefully improved it each year and I wouldn’t want to be at the Fringe without it. There are so many shows - this app provides a really usable structured way to find out about shows from the main EdFringe listings, to note the things you’d like to see and then it takes all the pain out of scheduling, so you minimise the amount of walking up Edinburgh hills and really make the most of your time here. It’s flexible enough to add in and reschedule shows as you need, and if you need or want to schedule in non-Fringe time (lunch or dinner!) you can do that too. A great app - 100% recommended!
The best thing since sliced spreadsheets

The Plan My Fringe app has saved me hours of preparation for the Edinburgh Fringe festival. It is easy to use and the “What’s On Nearby After?” helps to fill any gaps should they appear. By adding a select few shows, events, or exhibitions the app can even start making suggestions for you. Gone are the days of trawling through the weighty tome that is the Fringe Festival guide, followed by the meticulous plotting and measuring required to get from one venue to another, then all plotted into a colour-coordinated spreadsheet.
Brilliant app

I’ve used Plan My Fringe two years running now and it’s been invaluable. You can see at a glance how feasible it is to move between venues and eliminate overlapping shows. It’s five stars from me anyway but what would make it absolutely perfect would be if you could drop a map pin to locate where you’re staying too. As someone who started off with the colour coded spreadsheet method last year before discovering the app, I’m truly grateful to the developers. I hope there will be a 2020 version.
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.
