Electric Forest Festival Reviews

by AFMike1993

So many removed features. No good way to view my schedule, missing and incorrect information, app was great in the past. Not sure why they decided to ruin it so much. App would have been better if they just updated it with 2019 info instead of trying to rebuild components and making them non-functioning/useless.

2019 version eliminated the calendar view of the schedule. The lists are not user friendly to work with or plan your music experience. Searching for artists doesn’t even tell you useful information! It tells you time and stage, but how about what day they’re on?

I’ll be relying on schedule screenshots and the crowdsourced clashfinder because this is useless to me.

They removed the only actually useful thing ElectricForestFestival had going for it. I can no longer see my schedule in a easy to view format, everything is just listed out. I’ll probably keep it installed to receive push notifications throughout the festival but I won’t be checking it all day every day like I used to. Super strange decision to change this

They really downgraded ElectricForestFestival along with making it harder to read with orange on black font. No categorization when it comes to acts selected, ya just have to squint your eyes and keep scrolling till you find what you’re looking for. As a multiple year EF veteran I’m disappointed and I hope for an update soon.

While ElectricForestFestival functions well when it comes to making your schedule and seeing the lineup, it has been downgraded from previous years in terms of EF Radio. It is extremely annoying that I can’t listen to EF Radio when I leave ElectricForestFestival and/or lock my phone. It just stops playing music. It didn’t used to be like this! Please fix so I can continue to listen to my favorite radio!!

The older layout was way better imo. This new one isn’t bad, but the personalized schedule isn’t organized well and it’s hard to tell which day you’re looking at because it has each set in a list without markers to tell you when you’ve scrolled into the next day.

App worked fine but wish there was an offline mode because there is no service in the Forest for T-Mobile users. Missing schedules for The Chapel. Would have been dope to get the set times with more than 1 day notice as well.

I love ElectricForestFestival in general. I want to discuss the radio. I plan on driving 4.5 hours to the fest and want to play the radio, but when I leave my phone alone for 5 mins the player stops. Is there a way the developers can have it play even if I go to another app or if my screen dims? Please and thank you.

Good app, wish you could share your schedule with friends to compare. And can’t select the last artist of each day since the bottom bar blocks it

by Slackwell

My only problem with ElectricForestFestival so far is that when I try to scroll all the way to the bottom of one of the days on the schedule, the very last performer is stuck underneath the options bar at the bottom of the screen. I can drag the scroll up above the options bar, but the performers list snaps back to the bottom of the screen rather than the bottom of the viewing space. I can’t add any artists that are at the very bottom of the schedule to “my schedule” on any days.

Love the idea of ElectricForestFestival . Used it to schedule and see who was playing, register my bracelet and such.

Just wish the calendar had a better UI in regards to the way the breakdown of artists once liked is all jumbled. I want to see exactly what artist/stage breakdown in an actual calendar format.

Also wish it was shareable with friends better. Maybe next year do a login system and integrate better with Facebook or something so we can share with friends or even via a shared posted on social media.

Overall love the idea of ElectricForestFestival but would like it to go to the next level in regards to sharing and layout!!! Keep up the good work :)

Please reach out to me if you would like a better layout. I am in the IT field and love to help applications I love.

Super stoked for this. It’s a great app and makes things way more convenient though I would like to be able to add workshops to my schedule! I don’t want to forget an artist but I also don’t want to forget the awesome workshops that are offered!

by Alex3793

The lineup feature is nice because you can find people in alphabetical order, but you can’t see why times they play. IMO that feature is fairy useless.

Additionally - it would be nice for “My Schedule” to filter the UI of the schedule screen. Changing to a new screen to show everything linearly/not separated by day seems like a weird choice. (This is the big one for me; the schedule feature is 90% of the reason to use ElectricForestFestival .)

ElectricForestFestival still functions, hence the 4 stars, but there are just some strange UX/UI choices that I feel have made ElectricForestFestival a worse experience than the previous years.

Hi Dev Team,

The release notes mention 2022 artist lineup and schedule being included but it is nowhere to be found after ElectricForestFestival has been downloaded.

Please fix.

by Djdano47

I just hope that like in the years past I can scroll left to right on the schedule as the day happens

It made me so happy at work to see the new ef2019 app update it looks grate and is very informative. Can’t wait to see everyone in the forest pretty soon

I love Electric Forest and everything they do. It’s a excellent event that supports good causes and brings together some of the kindest, coolest people on Earth.

However, I think some more time could have been spent testing their application before their 2018 update stumbled onto ElectricForestFestival Store.

ElectricForestFestival crashes at almost every turn, whether it’s sharing a schedule with friends or simply jumping between artists on the Lineup, ElectricForestFestival just cannot stay afloat. While I can slowly build my personal schedule out by re-launching ElectricForestFestival , it dies frequently enough for me to consider a pen and paper solution.

But it has to be said, it looks great on an iPhone X.

EDIT:
After deleting and reinstalling ElectricForestFestival a lot of the issues I mentioned have been fixed. I’m going to bump this guy to the 5 stars it deserves for being as close to bug free as can reasonably be expected.

I love ElectricForestFestival, awesome feature added where you can share your schedule with friends on Facebook. Hoping it updates and you can see how many people are going to each set. I loved see what sets were the most popular last year.

by N_mausbach

I’m not sure if this is the finished product (App) but I’m almost positive last years App allowed to search daily schedules by stage. It was so nice to have if you’ve been bouncing back and forth from the same stages, want to check out something new but have no ideas who’s playing there.

by Buck Isis

Soo ElectricForestFestival tells you all the vendors and where they are located but it would be cool if you could tap on one and hit “ directions” and it pulled up a little map telling you where to walk to. My friends and I get lost a lot so it’d be very useful

by ZacGarcia

Great app really helped me out being my first year at the forest. I’m sure you guys are going to be updating this here soon seen how the forest is not that far away?

by Bananalani

App works great off-site so far. Being able to make alarms will definitely help when I’m out and about!

They’ve always taken care of me!! Whenever there an issue they’re always great at resolving anything and the EF app is super helpful and convenient. The schedule on ElectricForestFestival is so helpful I use it every year. Also love EF radio!!!!!!!
