D-Low Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 On 6/7/2019 at 9:19 PM, Mark E. Spliff said: The personal schedule is arranged with one row per stage, regardless of how few acts you want to see on that stage. For example, if you only wanted to see one act in the Rabbit Hole on Saturday, your schedule will now have a whole near-empty row for the Rabbit Hole. The upshot of this is that your schedule will be a long spreadsheet full of near-empty rows, which makes it difficult to find everything on a small screen - you're constantly scrolling up and down. It would have been much more user-friendly to just have enough rows to accommodate the acts playing simultaneously and have these rows populated from the top down. That way, as soon as you see a blank row below an act in your timetable, you know that's all you've selected at that time. The only downside to this would be that you'd have to include the name of the stage alongside the artist and time, but that shouldn't be too difficult. Exactly what I was coming in here to say. It's horribly designed. You can't even turn it sideways to get a better view of the line-up. They legitimately couldn't have got it worse.

Mark E. Spliff Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I've passed my comments on to the developers via the Google Play feedback route. In the meantime, I've just gone into Clashfinder, selected all the acts I'm interested in and printed a timetable off in simple 'list' format. I find making this list via Clashfinder is a bit of a faff (because you have to trawl through all the stage line ups, rather than just a list of artists) and life would be much easier if the app offered your itinerary in a simple chronological list view. I never pay much attention to my 'itinerary,' particularly as I'm working, but it's nice to be able to quickly check a list to assuage your paranoia that you're missing something important.

MetaKate Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Oh man... I've just played around in the app for the first time really... how has it gotten worse since 2017? The map is super buggy and missing tons of info... if I cant share my line up with my friends theres no point to have it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcshed Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Despite the share function seemingly generating a useless link when I sent it to a friend after they clicked on it if they manually went to their line-up it showed them mine. So it does work it's just a bit janky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fork_UK Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I always download the app, but don't think I've ever actually used it at the festival. So that fact that it doesn't work properly doesn't really bother me. The only time I might use the app is to give a general location of something to the newbies in my group.

fightoffyour Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 the "clashfinder" app can't load in your saves from the clashfinder website? Or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark E. Spliff Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 The app has just been updated (at least on the Google Play store.) The lineup has been updated - e.g. now shows Sean Paul on at John Peel. Can't see any other changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Hat Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 The latest version of the app now allows you to create a poster based on your personal planner. The execution though is very janky. Nice feature though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it easier to go through a long list of artists rather than the running order for each stage. It's all academic though - I've done it now.

gordong Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Was the app absolutely garbage for anyone during the festival? I constantly couldn’t select any of the days and was stuck on Friday which made the app useless. I was recommended to reinstall the app by EE’s twitter page - which then deleted my personalised line up I had spent quite a bit of time on. For such a simple app, they really made a total arse if it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bixer Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yep, for some reason it really didn’t seem keen to let you press on the different days easily. Waste of time downloading it in the end, the mini guide you get with the programme does the same job better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
