Spring is coming, the first terraces are packed, and the festival season is nearly start again. And that also means festival apps. The developer of Terschelling++ there early this year, with an application that may be Oerol and other activities on the North Sea. With the app you can find your way to all festival venues, but you also see a clock with the estimated time of arrival based on your current speed and direction. Handy to make sure you are on time for a performance. Although the application has qualities, the choices of the developer also ask questions about.
To see the expected arrival time you can go to a festival location rates by tapping a particular location and then ‘go to this node “button. If you tap on a specific location, the app will default to the nearest location as a starting point for your arrival. Most festival-have apps for navigating between locations is simply a link to Google Maps , but Terschelling + + wants to address clearly different.
Terschelling + + is from the same developer as GPS + + , a tracking app for hiking, biking and other outdoor activities around the world. Because Terschelling + + uses the same technique, the app also accurately tracks your movements so on Terschelling. He can also be useful if you are not going to Oerol but Terschelling you will g o hiking location. Perhaps nice to know: Terschelling + + supports the Plastic Soup Foundation , an organization that fights against plastic waste in the sea and on beaches and islands. When someone buys Terschelling + + in the App Store, this organization receives a contribution.
Overall, Terschelling + + a useful map, and the clock with the expected arrival is a nice piece of technology. Yet there is one big problem: it remains unclear what exactly Terschelling + + can and will be. Not only the explanation of all options is flawed, the aim of the app is not made clear to us after testing. Is this a real festival app or a handy tracking app for walks on Terschelling? In the first case we miss the festival program, artist informat ion and other specifications (or even a hint that it is), in the second case it would be nice to make that festival venues optional so they do not at any time ticket ‘pollute’. It seems that the developer does not have the courage to make choices, which has yielded a somewhat muddled app
