Fine but clunkier than necessary…

After getting past the fact the app doesn’t accept automatic password input or even pasting, which is frustrating when many of us now use modern password managers with complicated passwords, it was definitely a nicer interface than expected. Unfortunately, there are some needlessly clunky features that make simple additions to plans take a few steps more than they should. Most notably, these relate to having to choose a date and time to add things like showbags, rides and food, when you’d expect those and other all day, anytime wish list items to be added to a simple, uncommitted list of things to do. Then, when you do add something, the acknowledgment says it’s “already” added, implying the attempt was a double up. Events also default to the first date offered, rather than acknowledging the date for which we have tickets. It is what it is but it could be so much better. Here’s hoping things can be streamlined next year and follow a more logical UI.

We're sorry for any frustration this has caused and are actively looking into ways to streamline these processes, especially for adding showbags, rides, and food to an uncommitted list of activities.Thanks again for your feedback.

Serviceable but missing some key features

The app is fine for people that know what day they are going and want to see what’s on, but there is no way to see what days things are on other than going into each day and searching. It would be better to have an option to search for events across all days. For example, what days are sheep dog trials on?3 or what day should I go if I want to see showjumping?

Developer Response
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. You've highlighted an important area for improvement regarding how events are searched and displayed in the app. We understand the convenience of being able to search for events across all days and see how this feature would significantly enhance planning your visit.Your suggestion for a more flexible event search feature is excellent, and we'll definitely consider implementing this in future updates. We're always looking to make the app more user-friendly and valuable to our attendees.Thanks again for your insightful review!

Still buggy?

Immediately right away the event finder & “add to my day” function isn’t working or using the “+” button next to for example a ride, a showbag or an item to add it to your Ekka. It loads, then displays right back to the same symbol (+ remains a +) and doesn’t add to your day / itinerary. Still such a poorly done, bug riddled, average app that honestly has all the potential in the world to be a really good app. Disappointed for another year. Maybe less effort on AR/AI for kids and more on actual native FRs that the majority of the app user group will be looking to utilise.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we're really sorry to hear you're having trouble.We’ve run extensive testing across a wide range of devices and haven't been able to reproduce the issue with the “Add to My Day” or Event Finder features. Everything appears to be working as expected, so it’s possible there was a temporary glitch, connectivity issue, or something device-specific at play.We’re continuing to monitor closely and always welcome more detail if you're willing to share. You can reach out to our support team who would love to help resolve this for you.We’re always working to improve the app and appreciate your feedback.

Girl oh yeah 2013
Great app.Love the features . The Goldie sheep part of it is malfunctioning. When I am home, suddenly I'll receive a message that GOLdie is near by! If only Goldie was nearby at the ekka so I could have a chance of winning a showbag!

Developer Response
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! Glad you love the features. We will most certainly look into what is happening with Goldie and her pesky notification for next years Ekka!
