Comments for Æ Annals of Edinburgh Stage http://thomdibdin.co.uk Reviews, news and previews of professional and amateur theatre in Edinburgh, from Thom Dibdin Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:10:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Comment on App-tastic Edinburgh Fringe by Marius Ciocanel http://thomdibdin.co.uk/?p=1317&cpage=1#comment-3365 Marius Ciocanel Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:10:02 +0000 http://thomdibdin.co.uk/?p=1317#comment-3365 I think the reason why the Edinburgh Festival Fringe app doesn't have reviews is because the Fringe wants to equally promote all the shows not only the ones that have great reviews. I love the edinbus app too :). It's a great app for anyone who lives in Edinburgh.

]]> Comment on Æ News Review – Edinburgh Fringe launches programme on iPhone app by Gavin Dutch http://thomdibdin.co.uk/?p=1222&cpage=1#comment-2386 Gavin Dutch Wed, 21 Jul 2010 20:39:53 +0000 http://thomdibdin.co.uk/?p=1222#comment-2386 Hi Thom, Thanks for the very thorough review. We really appreciate the feedback and will be sure to address as many of your concerns as we can in the forthcoming update which will be released for the start of the Fringe. In fact we have already implemented solutions for quite a few of them, including venue search, and search of events at a specific venue. Finding your nearest show will also be much easier as in the update shows can be ordered by distance from your current location, or any other location you choose. There are a few other enhancements but I wont get into those here. We would have preferred to have all the functionality refined before release but thought that people would still find the app useful in its current form before the Fringe started so released early. Thanks again for the feedback, and enjoy the festival when it gets underway, Gav Hi Thom,

I have never seen anything like this. To be actually involved with a piece of theatre, to be part of the cast without knowing. The darkness was uncomfortable. The cast were all fantastic and I was really petrified by Menelaus and his treatment of Helen and thought the actor played it wonderfully. Hecuba was so strong. God I could go on and on... amazing! thank you to random act for bringing this to the stage. I went to see this on the Saturday evening and I can not tell you how moved, scared, engaged I was.
