Lollapalooza USA 17+

The app is made by greencopper, the same company that developed the pitchfork app and probably other chicago music festival apps. I liked their app at pitchfork except that it requires all sorts of permissions like bluetooth?? at boot up. And the same is true but worse here; it appears to the user that you cannot disable these permissions to continue through configuration.

Otherwise, the app is not as suited to Lolla; the schedule is crowded and the map is not quite as intuitive — but that functionality is all there and useful. I’m sure they will update it soon.

We are less than a month out and there still isn’t an update on the map or schedule. Lolla, what’s going on?

Seriously- this is not only the worst festival app I’ve ever seen, but maybe the overall worst app I’ve ever used.

For a company that creates music festivals so majestically, this is a tragic shortfall.

It’s 2023- this thing should be an ultimate, ACCURATE resource. I should be able to view and click a one page schedule view to select acts, instead I print paper and use highlighters.

There’s so much potential here. Imagine all the great things that could be done with connecting social contacts; Collaborative, sharing of, well, everything! Shared lineups, shared picture albums, shared locations.

I want to make my schedule and have an AI App just tell me what friends will be at the same shows as me.

C3- Please feel free to contact me to talk thru all these top notch ideas. I’ll do it for the cause as I’m on my 15th year of attendance.
