The Fringe have an app for that
One of the failings of last year’s Fringe was that they had no booking app which for years had been so useful. But that has all changed. They now have a shiny new app.
Last year the Fringe CEO, Shona McCarthy defended the decision not to have an app (which was last updated in 2019) as it would have cost £100,000. Now Playbill and Synatec have sponsored the new handy app with many old features and some new ones.
