Contact Official MN State Fair App Support

This app is absolutely dreadful. I don't know why the state fair had to mess with what used to be a good app. The 2024 version "daily schedule" lists only a few shows, and it appears to be shows that paid to be on the app. I wanted to look for horse shows, so I entered into the search box "horse." Nothing. I entered into the search part "Warner" (for the Warner Coliseum where the horse shows are.) Nothing. I looked for the August 26 "mental health day at the fair." Nothing. I even entered "mental," still nothing. Then the search feature stalls. As far as I can tell none of the DNR presentations are on the app. Every time I click on it a certain section and go back to the main screen, the main screen reset itself to August 22, even if I'm going to the fair on August 26. I'm going to delete it because it's worse than having no app at all. I even tried to email the fair using their email "contact us" button nothing but circles going round and round. Pathetic

The options for food at the fair can be overwhelming - what’s nearby, what’s good, where’s that place I heard about on the news, etc. This app doesn’t really help - you can look at and favorite new foods or food vendors (in their separate sections - why?), but they don’t cross-link at all. So you favorite the Afro Poppers…and then realize that you need to go to the food finder and maybe favorite Afro Deli. Then you go to the map and hope that you can filter by your favorites - wouldn’t it be great just to see a map with the food and events you’re interested in? But no. The map can’t even accurately show vendors that are close to each other, ridiculous considering the density of food options. You have to search for “Que Viet” for example, to see it’s pin under “Spaghetti Eddies.” What’s the point of a map for an event like this where you have to already know what you’re looking for?

This app is an inconsistent mess without any clear usable purpose. Interested in the new drinks this year at the Fair? There a button for that which takes you to an article which lists all of the new drinks. Can you save them? No. Can you view where they are on a map? No. Can you easily make a list of what you want to eat, drink, see and more and then easily access it in a list, schedule or map format? No. This was designed by the lowest bidder who did not invest in creating a quality experience.
