Time To Burn 2019 App Reviews

This used to be the best app to find the perfect party at any given moment. Now, it's the best app at making me want to launch my phone off my balcony at any given moment.

Awesome! Bacon n Coffee w a HUG for your work creating this essential tool

Downloaded this app and it worked flawlessly until Sat Aug 21. It now crashes and closes at random times. Very frustrating. Otherwise it was an excellent app. Recommend iBurn instead until this glitch is fixed.

Hi, The app was great, until I made a small donation on your Bunnies page. It now crashes every time I launch it. I deleted the app and re downloaded it, but same problem. I'd love to have it working again - help! Thanks,

If you have the version from last year, make sure you delete it before installing this one. Having done that, I've not experienced any crashes, having played with all the features. The app is a wonderful resource, and indispensable on the playa. Now I have three reasons to (sometimes) carry my phone: it's watch, camera, and now guidebook and map combined.

Everything you need to know all in one place. The EVENTS section takes the database of the "WHO WHAT WHERE" guide and makes it searchable...and you can also mark your favorites. The app is well designed and user friendly. I can't recommend it enough.

Would crash within a few seconds.

This is a must have for any burner! Thank you so much for all of the hard work!!!!

Thanks so much for this amazing app. Your gift to the burner family is greatly appreciated!

Since 2013 this has been my favorite Burning Man app, and it keeps getting better! With it I've been reading about and favoriting Camps, Events, and Art *now* so that I will have a long "Fave Things" list when I arrive. I can add my own notes to each favorited item. In 2016, the app's awesome authors added audio from the Art Guide! (Usually I'd try to download the Art Guide's mp3 files myself, but no need this year!)

A must have for every Burner!! I first downloaded this just for the count down, but it keeps getting better and better!!! Thank you to the creators of this app for your gift to the community!

I don't think my app is working on iPhone 5. Music hasn't updated despite re-downloading and I can make a calendar. Cool app just wish it worked on my phone.

Used this last year, set reminders for the week for all my fav events. New features look very promising. Nice work, thanks!

Can't use , please fix the crashes!

Better stability and additional relevant features. What more can you ask from an update??

First time Burner. This is awesome! :) Thank you!

If you do not uninstall the previous year's versions first before installing 2015 version then the 2015 version will crash like a drunk, dehydrated sparkle pony. Make notes of your old information since uninstalling the 2014 version will delete the data too. Other than that one little irksome thing it is awesome. This app is the only reason I carry my iPhone in the playa and I'd have been lost a million times without it. So many great features and so much information. Thank you, thank you !!!

For people who are having trouble with the app crashing, you can fix this by uninstalling the app. Reinstall it, then when it prompts you to enable database updates, say no. You won't get any info refreshes, but while we wait for a new update at least it won't crash every 10 seconds.

Eliaswolf, it looks like it hasn't been updated yet.. maybe try again in a week or so!

For the search on camps alone 5stars!! Then all the events and rock star lib hook up and the like system, all the cool little details... Is a must for on playa ease!! Works offline pretty great... What wouldn't anyone like? Well some people feel like using tech and connecting out there defeats the purpose of heading out there and also it may impact the immediacy part.. I think this like any tool can be used in ways that benefit the experience. It works for me.. I say give it a try!!

Awesome gift to the BRC community! Really helpful for my first time last year!

This app is amazing! Being able to SEARCH the event/camp list was PRICELESS. Also, yes it's 99cents. Best cash I spent on my burn. GPS map on playa! My phone worked for the whole week without a charge in airplane mode and I opened this app a lot!

Newest version as of 8/25 works just fine on my new iPod touch. Indispensable app for the dust :) thanks guys!

I'm not sure why, but I didn't receive address info for camps until after I got home. Every time I opened the app on the playa, all it said for address was "available after gates open". Sigh. Why isn't there a push notification for this while I was in Reno? Aside from that, great app.

I'm having the same problem as kevlon1. I made a donation. And now the app opens and shuts. Exactly that. Do something please.

This app rocks and keeps getting better with cool new features added. Definitely a must-download app if you're one of the ~68,000 people headed to the playa this year. THANK YOU for creating and sharing this!

Honestly the burner map and GPS are so needed sometimes. It’s nice to get lost at Burning Man sometimes but other times it’s essential to just get back to home base. This app is great! I will use it every year!

I LOOOVE this app! Soo full of all the best information. I can't believe how thorough it is! PLEASE tell me it will be updated for 2014!!!

Great app. I first tried using iBurn, but I went back to this app because of the repeating events. Some suggested improvements: Jump to the current day and time location for Events and My Fave Events. For repeated events that occur at different times show the time for that day for that event in the index. I missed an event because the second occurrence of it was at an earlier time than what showed in the index. Thanks for a wonderful app. We went through the schedule book and than added the events to the app. This was very helpful this year considering that the polymath category made it nearly impossible to jump to a page to see what was going on at the moment.

Was fine before this weekends update.

I can view all events in the playa, very handy alternative to the booklet. Make sure your phone is protected from playa dust.

Love this app but this version crashes every time i try to ❤️ an activity. Please repair. :)

I love this app. As a Greeter at Greeters Camp, lots of people stop and ask for direction. This app was 1000 times easier to use than looking for the printed map... The app is great the way it is, but if you are looking for things to add for next year... 1) The ability to add camps. Not all camps make it to the printed map or to the game database (or Playa Info) 2) The ability to add events. Again not everything gets added by the borg. 3) In the past the camp location where in the app and to use that information pre-event there was a password to unlock them. I was on playa on the 21st, by the time the event opened my cell service was really crap (surprised it worked at all). It took me a few days to download the database this the info. Just saying. Keep up the great work!!!

Without this app I would have missed some of my favourite events ever at Burning Man. Love it!

This app crashes constantly to the point it's unusable. Before it crashes part of the already sad UI tends to flash rapidly. From what I've seen of the UI it doesn't lend its self to good UX. it's bloated with out any visual cues for hierarchy. It also doesn't consider basic design principles for form or function let alone visual concepts like color. Much like the parent site burningman.org which also gives a middle finger to the color blind.

Love how comprehensive the app is. One bug is - when you go to menu, then go to My Fave Things and click on one of your favorites it closes out the app. I tried upgrading, closing all apps and still have the issue.

Love this app, but each time I try to heart an event it crashes. Looks like I'm not the only one. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon. Once it does it's an awesome app!

This appears to be the 2012 edition. Is it? The map is from 2012. Will it be updated before burning man?

I was just saying to someone I wish an app like this existed. Searched iTunes, and WOW!!! Does exactly what I was hoping! So nice to be able to easily put together an itinerary of events and classes I'd like to attend, and know where my favorite camps are located and the ones I want to check out!….all with a simple tap of the red heart. A MILLION thanks for this app! You've just made my BM experience SO much easier to navigate….and I'm a veteran Burner! There is currently one issue that I submitted to the developer today, where I've noticed events beginning at 10:00 AM show as starting at MIDNIGHT. Hopefully that will get resolved before BM begins.

Was working until I updated 08-24-15

As a first timer going to burning man, this app was an amazing tool for me to get a feel for things. Now? I'm lucky if it stays open for more than 5 mins. CRASHER

It keeps on telling me that rockstar librarian updates will occur on August 15, two days ago, but to no avail. It's useful otherwise and I appreciate your effort. Thank you.

Very informative app. Wish the UI was a bit better

Outdated

It makes it easier to find and schedule the fun stuff we like to do!

Was working fine, updated before leaving and it's crashing. Too bad....
