TD Ottawa International Jazz Festival - Your FREE Event Guide

I don't know if their event database is just out of date but it only showed 4 events on the day when there were tons of things going on. Only one of the events had the venue noted. The rest were "Unknown". Nice app otherwise but without accurate data, it's totally useles

There are many errors in content, and several series missing in the "Categories" view. The Bettye Lavette concert from Saturday night, 9:00 on the main stage, was NEVER mentioned in this app. That's a pretty major error on the part of the festival staff, who are presumably supposed to be feeding updated info to the developer. In terms of overall usability: The app insists on knowing your location, and if you decline to turn on Location Services, you get asked to do so every minute or two - pretty much massively annoying. Location Services are a huge drain on the battery, & methinks the app should understand that "no means no". I understand that out--of-towners might find the location services useful, but locals really don't need it since the greatest distance between any venues is only 1.5 km. Have been chatting w the developer, who will address this in later versions, of course too late for this year, but next year should be better. A big thumbs-up to the developer, who cared enough about his app to find me on Twitter and start an intelligent dialogue. I have re-written my review and given the app a better rating because of this contact, and anticipate this app will be much better from a usability perspective next year. I hold out only faint hope that the festival will deliver accurate content next year, but that's not the developer's fault.

A good idea, and well programmed, but whoever is doing the schedule updating dropped the ball.. It's missing concerts.

I am very pleased with this app - not like shelmart below who seems to have a need to bash on an excellent, free app for very minor quibbles. - Obviously the location is used to sort the venues by distance and also display the distance to any event in the schedule!!! which is great for checking out events happening close by instead of having to go across the city - so what if some categories are missing - I can lookup my artists by time, venue, name, genre, and alphabetical listings! - it's true that the info is not perfectly up to date - but so is the website - from my experience it is accurate to about 9 out of 10 events - and certainly not inaccurate, just that some newly added events are missing. And they're constantly making updates, too. Did I say this app is free?? all in all a great little app and a great way to experience the festival this year without having to plan ahead! Enjoy your music

I am in Ottawa visting friends so searched for things to do .. came across this app which is great for finding what's going on over the jazz festival. I liked the map feature which told me where the venues are and even gives you directions to it! That's pretty useful considering i'm not from here. I can't believe its free and easier than visiting the website. Thanks !!
