★★★★★ "After a few days of occasional use, Appic used up 5GB (!!!) of mobile data. That's ridiculous and unacceptable for an app that most people use without wifi. Also the timetable lacks a search function which is annoying." - F

app eats mobile date just to watch a timetable 10 Gbite in 3 days. overall experience sucked.
no clue what all these 5 stars are doing here. this app uses a nice 2 to 5 gb a day for just looking at a timetable for a festival. I don't know what they're doing but it is all foreground data as well. also why do I need to look at the festival map by default each time I open my festival? probably one of the reasons it's consuming that much. my YouTube consumes less and that is actively streaming video. you're a timetable app.
Finicky buggy mess. I only used it to check the timetables yet somehow this app managed to use *8GB* of my mobile data over the course of a 4 day festival.
used 16gb of data in just 4 days!!! I'm at roaming, lost all my plafond
After a few days of occasional use, Appic used up 5GB (!!!) of mobile data. That's ridiculous and unacceptable for an app that most people use without wifi. Also the timetable lacks a search function which is annoying.
This app is full of junk gimmick features and unfinished UI. Terrible experience if you just want to have a personal timetable. Apps should just focus on doing one thing well. Appic wants all your personal data and tries to be a social media platform with some achievement based points system. Absolute terrible excuse of an app that replaces functional apps like Woov.
I don't want to login and I can't register either when I use email or phone. Says email is incorrect. With phone I'm stuck in the captcha.
I apparently needed this app to find the organized bus back home from festival Pinkpop. It ended up not functioning at all for this, the push notification of the bus' location never came. I needed to make an account just for this thing end it ended up not working. I already hate the idea of extra apps on my phone, but now I also needed an account plus use this just for the stupid bus travel.. it could've just been an email instead. I hate modernism.
Too much infi
Very bad experience, i just wanted to download my ticket but this app asked me if i wanted to meet up with other people through it and then did not let me download my ticket. Please stop making things complicated that can be as simple as a piece of paper.
The app needs to build a whole profile with date of birth, gender (without non-binary or other, as if it was made in 2010), music tastes, hometown and a ton of extra info, just to keep my tickets. Oh yeah, a "skip" option isn't available because "the application needs it". Note that the app ships with a Facebook connection, so all data is likely forwarded there.
Email registration does not work so only phone. Asking for location but don't allow "only while using app". Most likely watching for my location in background
Wat een verschrikkelijk platform.
This app is a waste of energy
"Win" game scam. Myself and friends getting the same results for few month now.
Super gebruiksonvriendelijk, geforceerd te gebruiken om binnen te komen bij een festival. Ik kan niet eens een screenshot maken zodat ik de app kan verwijderen
Cannot move past the music styles menu. Please fix the bug, as I basically can't use the app right now.
Complete joke. Doesn't even know who George Strait is....No county artist!!
app do not login and says it couldn t find city, my city appears while typing I choose city, still says can not find city
Veel random junk staat in de app.
Sometimes the group chat disappeared, looks like a technical issue or maybe weak internet connection? I was looking for my partybus and couldn't find it. I was looking for 45 minutes!! but at the very last minute the groupchat appeared back again so I could find it.
Good concept but the price is quite hight. ⚠️ It absorbs your mobile data like vacuum!! be aware of its permissions, restrict the hell out of it, I leaked 9Gbs in 2 hours usage without downloading anything.
Chat groups and find my bus barely work. I need to constantly use the link from the email, as it is impossible to find the chat group back. We ended up making a WhatsApp group instead
Weird kind of functionality and navigation flow. Sadly no dark mode.
Keeps changing for the worse. Please add back agenda view. We had a nice overview of past and future events. No idea where to find that now.
Its It's fake, everyone gets the same outcome for the same partys. There are some partys that give you free tickets which make it look like you're winning but the most give you either nothing or an extra spin (which also doesn't happen that often) the wheels looks like it's split evenly but no matter how many times you try for a festival that is more expensive, you won't get the ticket... it's fun for the festivities that give free tickets but unfair for the other ones, just false hope...
Appic used to be the best app to discover festivals you had never heard before. After taking away the 'wingames' tab it makes it harder to find these kind of parties..
It's a good application with all the parties for variety of music but I never win everything and no matter how much I try the last 1,5 year :(
