This often results in fast, low-quality disposable apps that don't offer the best experience to festival-goers and are fairly expensive to festivals. I wanted to change that. With FEST, all the festivals live under a single mobile app that people keep on their phones to stay in touch with their favorite festivals all year long. They don't miss any important announcement like lineup reveals anymore and they're offered the best user experience on-site.
