Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
AHHH! this is a BRILLIANT idea! I am not a computer person though, so all the lingo you fancy programmers are using is beyond me...
I am attached to my iPhone. This would be so convenient if you guys could do it.... even if it is just the program for the mac - my bf has a mac so he could download it and then we could tranfer to our phones....

I had decent reception last year with my iPhone. Not great, not horrible.
I like the idea of a Bonnaroo app. I wish there were a better way to communicate with my fellow inforooers as well. Twitter last year just didn't cut it. How about... Each band has their own thread on a certain sub-board. People who are going to/at that particular show can post in that thread. "I'm by the soundboard" or whatever. I donno, I'm just spit-ballin' here.
So if we have the better service we don't get a cool app?
Just playing I have a Blackberry Storm with Verizon so we need to see if there could be a couple different versions. Hell something good is def worth a price so I would pay for something.
EDIT: I am going to run the app idea by the folks at Crackberry that create different apps all the time and see what kind of feedback I can get.

I have a Storm too so an iPhone app wouldn't really do me any good but it would be cool for the people that have them.
tyler, I just read your post on crackberry. You might want to send dmglakewood a message on crackberry. he (or she) makes a bunch or games and apps on there.
Any programers out there?? Someone needs to get crackin on making a Bonnaroo App for the iPhone!
<-- Software engineer, here. I'll scan this thread and see if I can't find a product in all of it.
EDIT: The idea of a map that you can scan with GPS integration and touch-the-stage controls to see the schedule should be pretty doable. I can probably even do an "Add to Calendar" button for each show and even integrate the schedules with the iTunes Store.
I'll work on some design stuff and see what I can come up with.
Reading this made me very happy!!! If you need anything let me know!! Karma for you!
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.

any way you could integrate the location aware feature to make it not only know where you are, but where other people are as well? you could see a map with your friends locations in real time.
expanding the idea of setting your own schedule on it, add in an alarm to go off at a predetermined time before any show, just might keep you from sleeping or tripping through a show you wanted to see.
^Definitely possible, the program Loopt for the iPhone does this now. It allows you to see the locations of other friends using the program.
I was day dreaming about a concept where users could take pictures while at Bonnaroo, and using the GPS chip you could upload them with the time and location as you take them. So either live or after Bonnaroo you or toher people would be able to track where that person went and see their pictures from the shows/experiances! Sort of like a WAY cooler trail of breadcrumbs

I would like a twitter type style board or something where someone can say "Hey (insert band name here) is killing it right now!" so if you are at a conflicting show you can see what is going on elsewhere.
can someone with an iphone check it out and see what features it has? since coachella is before bonnaroo (i think?) we could get all the glitches out and maybe come up with other useful things before roo
Is this thing really necessary? I mean come, you need a phone to track your location on the farm. You need your phone to tell you when to go to a show. Technology is great but I think this is taking it a little overboard. Why not do it the old fashion way...get a freaking schedule and pencil in the bands you want to see and then follow the freaking schedule. I'm sorry but I don't need a phone to keep my sense of location on a 700 acre piece of land. God the excess sometimes...smite if you will.
So you don't need a phone, but you need a schedule and a pencil? Same difference. Except I'll already be carrying my phone, so I won't need to carry any extra crap. I'm not saying I need GPS (I have the old iPhone so it would be pointless anyway) but an interactive schedule would be nice.

No one says we NEED this... But if I have my phone on me anyway I'd like it to give me the greatest benefit. I'm sorry you don't enjoy technology like some of us do, no need to come on here and trash our way of life, it's sad when people feel the need to do this...

Ughh! So i just downloaded the Coachella app... It's almost exactly what I had been hoping for with a Bonnaroo App... Clearly SOMEONE was paying attention to my posts, unfortunatley it was someone with more affiliations with Coachella. It has a full schedule with loctions, a venue map that has GPS tracking abilities, AND you can upload your photos real time w/ GPS tags on them...
I sent a e-mail to Bonnaroo, in hopes that they will not let themselves be outdone...
