Are the bars named? I just have the pint logo as per the map having said that, I also don't have any of the line up Edited June 9, 2023 by watsonjm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I held off highlighting clashfinder in the hope I would do it once on the official app but why are the timings so spread out you can only get on artist on a screen. Eh?

No overview of the run over an evening to 'loosely' plan it without constantly scrolling left and right. But that isn't an artist on a screen. But the question shouldn't be "how does it compare to clashfinder", it's how does it compare to what it succeeds (the EE app) and by most measures it's better. BTW do have some screenshots from about six years ago of old app Edited June 9, 2023 by clarkete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 I wasn't expecting much but it's definitely better than the EE one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Outside of the running order for stages and planning your next moves, what is the app actually useful for? I never used the previous ones, I just never saw what their benefit was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but a bizarre point about how we can't compare this app to clashfinder. Compare it with the unofficial app that came out recently or handwritten notes of who's on where and when, my point stands that the lineup section is hard to use with the size of a glasto lineup.

august1 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 looking at old clashfinders, the official glasto site used to link to clashfinder. Take it they dont anymore? Feels like they don't like unofficial stuff anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 It feels a bit clunky. Not really a fan. Can't easily highlight acts onto my own personal line up. Much prefer the Clashfinder and itinerary function which shows a condensed version of what I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find your own comparisons a bit bizarre tbh. You can clearly use what you prefer and plenty will carry on using clashfinder - it's great for what it does. Clearly they were never gonna be trying to do the same job as that, their job is to provide the same or better than the previous supplier - which they seem to have done thus far. Hopefully further improvements will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be my phone. I've dropped the thing a tonne. Just working my way through it, changing pages, going back and forwards takes a while to load. I've figured out how to add now. But I do think it needs a zoom out function. I like the Clashfinder itinerary version which shows all my highlighted acts very easily. It's also my way of doing the fest. I plan acts out but that's it. I've never read the free guide in the bags, never read the free press, never used the app. Aside from the Clashfinder I kind of shut myself off from everything else.

Your average punter isn't comparing different versions of the app and thinking god well done Vodafone, I still can't read the lineup you've put up but my word there's a link to worthy fm now. can't read is obviously exaggerating but you get what I mean.

Tranquility of Solitude Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Always found the alarm function to be a bit strange. Who needs a reminder to attend a set at Glastonbury? Is it just me?

Pinhead Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Hmm yes theyve missed the point about how G punters consume gigs - with so much going on, the clashfinder layout is king - proven and accurate. Good app otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northtim Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Better than EE, not as good as the unofficial Glasto App. Although if it ran a bit smoother and gave the choice of must see/might see it would be better. They have a week or so for updates so here’s hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
