The Music Fest portion of the app is really well done. You can create your own schedule, view artist info, follow artists on social media, etc.<\/p>\n<p>However, as someone who cares more about BBQ Fest than Music Fest, the BBQ portion of the app needs work. The teams are listed, but if you click on a team all it does is take you to a generic point on the park map which may be somewhat near the team booth. Or not. The booths are numbered in groups rather than individually. You can&#8217;t click on a team and find out their booth number. I hope the app designers issue an update to fix some of these things.<\/p>\n<p>Great post on WKNO&#8217;s site about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wknofm.org\/post\/still-not-out-tigers-baseball-icon-worlds-longest-serving-bat-boy#.UYEx-ZrUgVA.twitter\">Stan &#8220;The Man&#8221; Bronson<\/a>.
