Alvoram Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Well they’ve rebranded to ‘plan your festival’ Obviously the map is a digital asset / intellectual property too… Wonder if they’ll have to redo that… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09matthewsw Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Yeah map is gone but the rest of the app remains after a slight rebrand. Hope they’re able to keep going now and the Vodafone app takes a big hit as a result. Serves them right for not having something sorted sooner 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich1268 Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Well, I have filled in my must sees and want toos on this app. Not sure I can be bothered to do it all again on the Vodafone one. They do need to be a lot quicker off the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stopwn1981 Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Looks like they’ve changed the app name and removed some stuff. Festival must have been upset and threatened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishboy Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 someone could probably redraw the map to skirt IP issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 It really is quite poor that every year the "official" app is so late. As @Mich1268said, most of us can't be arsed using the app as we've already sorted our lineups on things like Clashfinder or other apps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's now nothing in the app that breaches any IP. Feel really sorry for the developer, this is just corporate bullying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamstreety Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 The developer is someone I know through football. Despite it not being in breach of anything, the name 'Vodafone lawyers' is being thrown about. Massive shame as the app is decent and released to allow festival goers to plan ahead. Wonder why there isn't any problems with clashfinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not used this app, but based on the sheer number of people on here and elsewhere confusing it for the Official app and needing to be corrected I can fully understand why Voda got upset in the first place. Though it seems petty if they're still pushing for it to be removed after all branding etc is removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't want the competition for their big launch and takeover from the EE app. They had so much time to get it ready. No idea why it is taking so long. The other app will be gone from the stores today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 If we have it downloaded on our phones, will we still be able to use it? Is it just being taken down from the store or gone completely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
