The app seemed very clunky and slow. However it came in handy and was quite worth having. Sadly its only used for one day by people so this can be expected. hopefully improvements can be made for next year.

This was a wonderfully useful app. Maps and descriptions were informative and it helped to have a planning option. Will be sure to get the next one in 2014

Great potential! Please update event list to make it really useable. Also, location aware functionality would be a great addition in the future. Looking forward to future updates.

But this app is really sub-par. The back button isn't useful within the app (just backs out to the home screen) -- very annoying.

I like NS and I wish I could give the app a good review, but its too buggy. It's clear it was written for an iPhone, and then ported to android without testing.

This app was clearly meant for 2014 and has not been updated since..this should be removed from the play store to avoid confusion
