    16. [R25] 5/5 · CA Never miss the music I love.: I always here about bands in town after they have played. This app is great to catch shows and I can see where else they are playing if I miss my city. Love
    17. [R33] 5/5 · CA Great app for finding shows: Great for searching concerts in your area or if travelling
    18. [R30] 2/5 · CA result is different from the web version: see all concerts is missing some events in the app versus the web, so unfortunately I cannot trust this app to be accurate.
    19. [R20] 4/5 · CA Great App!: Love the ease of finding concerts although there seems to be issues buying tickets with ticket master on the odd occasion. If they fixed that it would be perfection!
    20. [R45] 5/5 · CA Great info: Really pleased with app so far. Great up-to-date info on where my favourite performers are in concert!
    21. [R50] 5/5 · CA Excellent: Always the first person to tell me when a band is coming to town. Updated quicker than some of the venues websites.
    22. [R12] 3/5 · CA Excess notifications: It’s an okay way to follow your favourite bands and know when they’re coming to town in case you miss it on social media but it’s a almost constant hum of notifications and emails that no matter how much you unsubscribe still come though. Had to send it all to spam just because the volume is relentless.
    23. [R16] 5/5 · CA Nice app: Good app. Only don’t understand if I even look at a concert, the app sends me emails asking me to rate the concerts quite often. I didn’t buy tickets though silly geese’s!. lol
    24. [R37] 3/5 · CA Great but Annoying: Love being able to follow bands and venues. Wish that clicking on an artist didnt’t automatically start following them. Also wish clicking an event didn’t convince the system that I was going. Really annoying to have to unfollow bands I never chose to follow, and to be prompted about how I enjoyed a concert I never said I was going to.
