MerleFest 2017 for Android
Love it so much it is very helpful
Please do address the battery life - most folks at the festival camp, so phone battery life is key to enjoying the app throughout the 5 days. Also, would be nice for install to carry forward favorites from the prior year - I don't want to miss my favorite returning artist! Three Days to Merlefest 2015!
Great app. Up-to-date news for the schedule of bands. Plus being from Wilkesboro, u have to like it. It's MERLEFEST!!!!!!!! Force crashes.
On the Nook tablet looks and works great. On Galaxy Nexus, drained phone battery from full to 5% in 3 hours. Had to uninstall from phone.
This app was a great one to have on-hand for Merlefest. One major plus was that it included the schedule for the Autograph Tents, which even the printed schedule did not have readily available. I also like the fact that you could make notes on each artist for that particular time slot. Only ding against the app itself are the links don't seem to show up for the artists web pages. A "nice-to-have" feature would be the ability to have a map that would show the "You are here" and give you directions to whichever stage you had selected. One thing that hampered my enjoyment of the application is the abysmal Verizon cell coverage on the campus. My Droid Razr (4g) stayed at 1x the entire time, giving me about 2-3 hours of battery life on it. I would liked to have used the app more, but the poor reception on campus minimized how long I could even have it powered on.
Very handy app for the festival, the only problem was, as a previous reviewer stated, battery life.
Great very convient
Yay Merlefest!!

Very poor app. The schedule option is terrible. I checked schedule at 8:30 am and says no events. Why can't I see tomorrow too?
