Pros and cons of ArtPrize app for iPhone and iPad

ArtPrize app good for

Just a couple of things would make this a great app and more useful when visiting ArtPrize. 1-make a way to mark venues youve visited/art youve seen 2-allow access to lists youve created 3-a live/interactive map that could help with navigation around ArtPrize
Really liked this app while walking around ArtPrize. Was helpful and helped us to organize what we saw. I would suggest though that on the route list map you be able to click on the stops to see what piece it is and be able to delete from lists.
I can see all of this years entries! App works great! Cant wait for ArtPrize to start!
Im running iOS 9 on an iPhone 5 and I have had no problems with timeouts or logging in or voting. Apple just did their first update to iOS 9 so maybe that was the culprit and not the app developers. Either way, I loaded it up and logged in through Facebook within 90 seconds. Im no app developing student though so maybe Im doing something wrong...
This app is incredible, the developers thought of nearly everything. I appreciate that every year they improve upon the past years technology. User friendly, super easy log on, runs fast. Great work, this is the best app so far!
The app was easy to use and helped a lot navigating and finding the wonders of what we call ArtPrize. ArtPrize is a great event for all ages and lets anyone display their imagination and perspective on life, art, and people to the world.

Some bad moments

After the latest app update I can no longer use my Facebook credentials to login or create an account. I just get the error: "Invalid user credentials" and since Im already logged into Facebook in my browser I know its valid. Broken login = completely useless app.
The new ArtPrize app looks great, but it runs slow (if at all) and has too many additions which only seem to make things worse. The older versions were not as pretty, but were sooooo much more accessible and user friendly. This app should have the three necessities for ArtPrize: Art, Venues and Voting. The new stuff should be optional. The saying in art is "Less is more". I think it definitely applies here. Sorry.
App wont accept my email and password. Wont kt me register email (because it exists from prior year) and has no way to reset or recover the password. Im locked out of the app.
:( walked around downtown today and app kept freezing. When got to registration screen said I needed to be in the geographic area (was around the BOB and Arena) or got error messages. Please fix soon so I can vote.
Way too slow! Freezes whenever I try to scroll and then freezes my phone, not just the app! Looks like ill just use the website. Very disappointing.
We attended Art Prize yesterday and were unable to get this app to download. Tried it numerous on WiFi and on 3G and no such luck. It just sits and spins. Was able to download another app just fine so not a performance issue with my phone. Disappointed because we werent able to vote. (Need App to verify via GPS that you were in the voting district.)
