WOMAD 2016 UK for Android
Please make blue tooth just an easy option for when we are at the festival rather than the default . It use up battery unnecessarily otherwise. It interfered with the YouTube streaming, and if I turned it off from services caused me to lose wifi after a while too. Otherwise app is a great step forward. Be good to favourite an artist directly from the timetable.
Loved it when at festival, loved the timetable, games and map. But for browsing before you go a key for the map would be useful, not all symbols are intuitive, also for advance use bluetooth is unnecessary, as others said. Thanks though, the app really enriched the womad experience on site.
Great app, great idea. Really useful. The Bluetooth being turned on each time was a bit annoying, I think it should have been optional. Overall: brilliant!
Worked OK. Don't understand why Bluetooth was enabled by default. Timetable should show starred items. My Itinerary should snap to current time, like the timetable does. Confusing that it doesn't. The angry red warning light was a bit over the top, should be configurable. Consider making the stages geolocations so that people can share on social media. Some way of sharing itinerary with others would be great!
Like others say was disappointed to have to put my itinerary in again. Also agree with bluetooth comments, I'd rather have the option to turn it on. Otherwise very good.
On a first look, I'd like to see... 1. An account so I could do my planning on, say, my tablet, but access my performances on my phone at the festival. 2. A listing by stage and an ability when viewing by stage to also star performances. At Womad, for example, I tend to base myself at radio 3 stage. 3. Links to artists' web sites and YouTube videos. 4. Ability to write comments against or rate artists, both predicted and actual.
Loaded in my 4 day programme and now it won't open.
The app looks great. Really useful to be able to create my own itinerary. Looking forward to being able to keep tabs on my kids' whereabouts. I think the kids will love the tree game. Thanks!
Well done people. This was the first proprietary event app that has been really useful. It had no significant effect on battery life which is very important.
Great for planning my days, knowing who's on when & where, with useful info on every Performer ... By far the best Womad App yet :)
Good app but a pain that Blue tooth is automatically turned on every time you use it!
Love this!!!
Why is this app turning my phones Bluetooth on by default? I'm not even aware of any functionality that it has that needs bluetooth... I dug into its setting and found an option to switch it off... But this shouldn't be the default behaviour!
Have just started to use it before Womad and it all seems to be working and logically laid out. Should be a big help in getting to the right place on time. Ability to track the wife, or kids if you have them, should get over the lost my phone or flat battery problems.

Looks like a great app though use if Bluetooth means I won't be able to try some functionality until I'm there. Great that you can track your kids with wristbands, but not clear if I can track my friends just with the app, which must know where they are.
