Well intentioned, but favourites don't work, map is slow and under featured. Favourites is the whole point of this app though and it doesnt even work, neither does the food link
"unable to download event list, try again when you have internet connection" says the app which I just downloaded via my internet connection.
I meticulously went through the list and favourites what I wanted to see but then it just kinda blanked out. I'm reinstalling and KMFX
Like how i can take notes on app. Can star events I'd like to see.
App is standard for event based apps. nothing special. one big problem which caused me to miss an event. Received a push notification for a change in an event I planned to attend and it did not show correctly in Android or at all in the notification section of the app.
Not really useful for navigating the venue and favorites didn't work.
Absolutely does not work. A total embarrassment to makers everywhere.
This sounds like it will be useful in the next makerfare i attend.
I'd love a pure offline mode but hey, it's the 21st C CE, even at&t 4G should be fine by now, right?
Despite a great Internet connection the app claims I'm offline.
For a technology oriented event, it seems absurd that it takes this long to post this data in the app.....
Won't download the event list. Worthless.
Very helpful to have at your local Faire.
Impossible to use to locate anything.
Useful app for experiencing the wonders of the Maker Faire
Catch everything you want to see
Won't run on Android N.
Apparently I can't turn the notifications off, and it's way too early in the morning for this. So, I guess I'm uninstalling.
Just what I needed
Marked a bunch of sessions a few days before the event. But everything disappeared a day before the event so I had to do it all again. Also some sessions were missing from my phone but were visible on a friend's phone, and vice versa. Slowness (dropping frames on a note 4) when moving from one view to another. Sometimes considerable lag of >3 seconds. All content was all there and it worked well offline.
Unexpectedly sub-par app for such an event. It has multiple issues: - tapping on anything in the Discovery screen crashes the app - incomplete info; it's 10 days until the event and the venues were not updated, they are still TBA in the app (latest version to date) while on the website are displayed correctly. One could only pray and hope that the rest of the info is accurate... - adding the favorites to Calendar it's a pain, the calendar buttons are impossible to touch without also touching the scroll bar. It's a Nexus 4, so it's not the smallest phone in the world. - adding favorites to the calendar inserts them off by 3 hours. Really, nobody there knew that NYC is not on the Pacific Coast?
installed for the Bay Area Maker Faire. Added my favorites. would get notification of a favorite when the time came up to go to it, unfortunately every single time I open the actual app it would list in my notifications every single favorite I added - again, it would do this every single time I opened the app. imagine getting 30 plus notifications every single time the app is opened. This includes even after the event expired and even weeks after the faire is over.
Very difficult to find and download app from Google play store. This app does not come up straight from a Google play store search. And If searched for from a cell phone you won't find it either. The only way we were able to get the app downloaded to our Samsung Galaxy's was to go to the Maker Faire website from a computer and click on the app link and enter play store from that link and added app to our wish list then install to phone. This process is not realistic and should be fix.
A poorly made app, which is kind of ironic.
Let's you tag presenters, events, and displays as favorites. Aids in creating an itinerary.
Out of date/inaccurate/lacking info
Very good now (last year sucked).. With the exception of maps... Where's the map?
Without a printed list of lecture event we're depending on this app. So may venues had different agendas/speakers than what was on the app; especially Electronics. And, I had to look up outside sources to find the venue for at least one speaker because it wasn't included on the app! Worst experience!
