Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about event management mobile app development

How long does it take to develop an event mobile app?

A basic event app typically takes 8-12 weeks from concept to launch. This includes discovery, design, development, testing, and app store submission. More complex apps with advanced features like cashless payments, live streaming, or extensive integrations may take 16-20 weeks. We offer expedited development for time-sensitive events with our rapid development track.

Can the app work offline at our event venue?

Yes, we design all event apps with offline functionality for critical features. Tickets, schedules, maps, and venue information are cached locally and work without internet connectivity. QR code scanning for ticket validation also works offline, with data synchronising automatically when connectivity is restored. This is essential for festivals and venues with poor mobile coverage.

How do you handle ticket fraud and security?

We implement multiple security layers including encrypted QR codes that change dynamically, device fingerprinting to prevent screenshot sharing, and real-time validation against your ticketing database. Our apps support secure mobile wallet integration (Apple Wallet, Google Pay) for additional fraud prevention. All payment processing is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant with end-to-end encryption.

Can the app integrate with our existing ticketing system?

Yes, we integrate with major ticketing platforms including Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, See Tickets, and Dice, as well as custom ticketing solutions. Our integration connects ticket sales, validation, and attendance tracking in real-time. We also integrate with access control systems, CRM platforms, payment gateways, and marketing tools to create a unified event management ecosystem.

What happens if there are technical issues on event day?

We provide dedicated event day support with guaranteed response times for critical issues. Our monitoring systems alert us to any performance problems before they affect attendees. For major events, we offer on-site technical support to resolve issues immediately. We also conduct load testing before your event to ensure the app handles peak demand without performance degradation.

Can attendees use the app on both iPhone and Android?

Yes, we develop native apps for both iOS and Android platforms, ensuring optimal performance and user experience on all devices. Apps are tested on a wide range of devices including older models to maximise accessibility. Progressive Web App (PWA) options are also available for attendees who prefer not to download apps.

How do push notifications work for event updates?

Push notifications allow you to send real-time updates to attendees including schedule changes, artist announcements, severe weather warnings, and security alerts. Attendees can customise which notifications they receive. Notifications work even when the app isn't open, ensuring critical information reaches attendees immediately. We integrate with your event management system for automated notifications.

What analytics and reporting do you provide?

Comprehensive analytics dashboard showing app downloads, active users, ticket scans, popular features, user journeys, and engagement metrics. Track which stages or sessions are most popular, food and beverage sales patterns, and attendee flow throughout your venue. Real-time reporting during events helps you make informed operational decisions. All data is GDPR compliant with anonymised aggregated reporting.

Can we use the same app for multiple events?

Yes, we can build multi-event apps perfect for venues, promoters, or recurring festivals. The app switches between events automatically, displaying relevant content based on dates. This approach provides better ROI than single-event apps and builds an engaged audience base you can market to year-round. Previous attendees already have the app installed, improving adoption for future events.

What's included in post-launch support?

Post-launch support includes app store hosting, server maintenance, security updates, bug fixes, content management system access for updating event information, analytics reporting, and technical support. We offer various support packages from basic maintenance to comprehensive managed services. Event day support is available as an add-on for additional peace of mind during critical periods.
