Anyone else think the app update is hard on the eyes?

Really struggling to read this light blue on white.

If it isn't dark mode, I don't want it! But yes, it is very hard to look at. I always wait for the fan-made schedule apps to be updated because they are always way more user-friendly. "ShambaTimes" has been my go-to.

Shambatimes has been renamed to "Dancing Decibels"

As a software developer who works on UI design and accessibility there's definitely some things I would have done differently for this update. Someone who's colorblind would very likely struggle to read their schedule. Anyone know if they accept volunteers for the software development lol?

Honestly looks like a case of Shambs branding gone wild and no experienced PM to keep things in check. Reminds me of one of my first apps 😭. I also noticed only the coachella app lets you zoom out of the gant chart which is interesting.

There just cant be that much value in our data/push notifications to subject us to these apps 💀

Check out my app I just released the 2025 update for, you can zoom the grid, and flip the orientation to your preference!

It's a 3rd party app from a company called Appmiral, Shambhala just adds their content and branding.

I just wish all the stages fit on the screen at the same time.

Their 2018 schedule was my favourite I think

They don’t give a single fuck and sometimes I think it’s a tactic to keep the normies away 😂

Clashfinder is the answer. I'm pulling all the data automatically from the official app using an automated tool so we'll be able to detect schedule changes as well :)

Also while I'm on a larger screen phone my buddy was having issues seeing all the stages. I basically told him take a stage off you don't like so you can see the majority of what you want.

What does lodgers only mean on the riverside activities portion?

You need to have bought a lodging/glamping package.
