The AbsolutFringe App promises to be an all inclusive guide to all things Fringe for the upcoming Absolut Fringe festival that is currently seeing heavy promotion around Dublin. For anyone with an iPhone, and an interest in culture, this app is an absolute must for finding out what’s happening during the festival period.
The festival runs September 11th-26th.
The application provides a wide range of engaging features, from shaking your device to find a random event to including a built in competition for app users.
Users are greeted with a home page that offers information on the programme line-up, a map of events, the photo competition and twitter coverage. Users can shuffle through the line-up to browse the events that are of interest to them giving details on the show, the artists performing, the venue, date, time and ticket price (if there is a charge). Further information can be found through the easily accessible links to the website and map. Users are even given a ‘call’ button that offers more information over the phone for people who still prefer the personal touch. Favourite shows can also be bookmarked to ensure you don’t lose track of your favourite events. Or should you find yourself out-and-about during the festival week with some spare time, the map feature allows you to see the events that are nearby your current location so you’re never left killing time.
The Absolut Artist competition allows users to take an image, new or pre-existing, which is layered behind the temple of the iconic bottle, giving it that Absolut feel. You can enter a short description of why your particular image captures the essence of Absolut and submit to the judges for your chance to win a trip for two to the Absolut Ice Bar in Sweeden.
