Edinburgh's Festival Fringe organisers have received backlash over their newly announced plans to not go ahead with using the Fringe app for this year's event. Replying on Twitter to a user saying that the app was "the last piece of the puzzle," organisers confirmed it would not be available this year.
The tweet was met with a lot of angry reactions, as well as messages from several performers, urging organisers to reconsider the decision, as they say the app made it easier to find acts and book tickets throughout the summer festival.
The Fringe's 75th anniversary will take place in August, with the app playing a big part for tourists and performers to navigate their way through the world's largest arts festival. Edinburgh Festival Fringe said in a tweet: "No official Fringe app this year Steve but our ticketing website is optimised for mobile so should work from your smartphone or tablet. We're keeping a record of interest in the app though, so thanks for letting us know."
