Vodafone App

[William Mann]

Well looks like the app could even come out today! Need to get my schedule together. Will be interesting to see this app compared to the EE one. I’m expecting good things knowing Vodafone.

I wish ahah. There are two pages for potential developers who would release the App. Most likely Vodafone UK Ltd, or could be just Vodafone 

[MJP]

Surely they uploaded for approval by Apple/Google before today!?

(For those who don't know, apps have an approvals process before they can be put live and Apple can be pretty strict on their rules).

[Bovla]

Still no sign...must be soon

[Mich1268]

Mmm a bit slow. Maybe Vodafone didn't realise they would have to upload 3000 performances? New to the game

On a similar note has anyone used the Vodafone daily battery pack charger before or is it new for this year (realise it was EE before but maybe they did it too)? Quite tempted as long as not huge queues for it each time you want to replace it. Any thoughts? https://vodafone.seetickets.com/event/glastonbury-battery-pack-hire/vodafone-connect-charge/2661786

You could buy 2 decent 20kmah+ power banks outright for that cost. You’ll keep them forever and there’s no need to worry about swapping them over. Will easily last the entire weekend.

Please could you share where I can buy 2 decent  20 Ah batteries for £20 please? As i am after 2 for my son for the festival. (The £5 is a refundable deposit.) 

Found a few on Amazon for £15ish each, but hardly decent, lots of the reviews claiming they don't hold anywhere near 20 Ah. All of the well reviewed ones seem to be £25+ each... So it might be cheaper just to hire him this for £20 and not have to worry about how many charges he'll get out of it. 

My only issue with this is that they're only 5 Ah, after losses, that won't charge a lot of modern flagships fully... Won't even charge the Apple flagship, and they're not exactly known for their battery capacity.

I’ve got 2 of these but the older version. Had them for a few years and got them when they were on offer. The price has increased a lot but these are £24 right now. Can get 7-8 iPhone charges out of it so still better value than the on site ones.

Definitely doesn't seem as smooth as the previous or third party apps

Incredibly janky scrolling through artists and stages

[March Hare]

It’s still really low on the Apple Store rankings which is weird as it must have been downloaded a lot today

[davidlab]

I think the app is rubbish and its so slow

[StoneCircle]

I shall stick with @halvinwonderful Clashfinder! 

[Alvoram]

Map is the best one yet... 

Clashfinder / Lineup seems better than EE one to me aswell. Can change between list or timeline, and even search by artist or stage to add acts to your itinerary, and can then view just your itinerary. 

Running very quickly and smoothly on Iphone. All in all, a win for Vodaphone for me. 

[Twiggy553]

Needs a feature to make the lineup page more manageable - like on clashfinder where you can hide whole stages that you’re not interested in

I ended up looking at clashfinder and Vodaphone side by side to manually copy my timetable across

Map filter is sh*te.....it's great if I wish to know where my nearest Sensory Calm Space is but useless if I need a p*ss urgently or need some First Aid or some water.

[anditmakesmesmile]

It’s OK. 
but, when the very first app came out there was a way of sharing with friends. It may have just been with Facebook friends but nonetheless that sharing feature was really good. It’s a shame subsequent apps have dropped that feature

I'm quite liking the official app.

Click on an act in your list, tells you where they are, click on map and blue dot shows you. 

Nice and simple if you're feeling a bit impaired.

Yup, I’m finding it really useful too.

I’m also flagging things as I see them and unflagging the things I don’t see so I can record what I actually see over the festival.

[Harry MonkFish]

I didn't mind it initially but it annoys me the map has the location button but doesn't zoom in on your location. What does that button do if not that? Also the toggling doesn't work. I appreciate some people may need to know where the deaf zone is, but I don't so why can't I stop it coming up. 

[ICGenie]

Aaaaannnnndddd it’s crashed and lost everything I saved 😡🤬😡
