Official MN State Fair App for Android

I’m not finding the 2024 app as user friendly as ones in the past. The map is useless as a gray screen covers the map and will not go away. I always chose my favorite eats and activities and they would appear on the map so I could plan my route.

Not sure what this app is intended to provide. Can’t even get the ticket purchase to work. Had to go to the web site and use that, which appears to be the same as the app, to purchase tickets. Failed 4 times on the app.

The options for food at the fair can be overwhelming - what’s nearby, what’s good, where’s that place I heard about on the news, etc. This app doesn’t really help - you can look at and favorite new foods or food vendors (in their separate sections - why?), but they don’t cross-link at all. So you favorite the Afro Poppers…and then realize that you need to go to the food finder and maybe favorite Afro Deli. Then you go to the map and hope that you can filter by your favorites - wouldn’t it be great just to see a map with the food and events you’re interested in? But no. The map can’t even accurately show vendors that are close to each other, ridiculous considering the density of food options. You have to search for “Que Viet” for example, to see it’s pin under “Spaghetti Eddies.” What’s the point of a map for an event like this where you have to already know what you’re looking for?

This app is absolutely useless! I don’t know why someone thought it would be better to change it from the previous version. So glad I kept the old one!! Fix it, because people want to be able to use it!!

Love this improvement to the previous editions, so user friendly and nice to have info in one place.
