Festival Map
Help
Bardsly shows you an up-to-date view of your favourite folk festival, and helps you put together a timetable so you don't miss a musical moment. Choose from the menu:
Shows
Choose the Shows page to see the whole festival schedule. Scroll up, down, left and right to take in the whole picture. Tap an individual show to see the artists and get a map to the venue. If you want to know more about an individual artist, you can tap their icon. If a show looks like a good time, tap the Star to add it to your personal timetable.
On the Shows page, the toggle button half-hides the shows you haven't Starred. Sometimes, shows might be visible even if you don't Star them -- that's because they include an artist you've Liked! Check them out to make sure you're not missing a gig.
Artists
Choose the Artists page to see all the artists performing at this festival. Tap on the artist's image to see full details, including social media and websites. Take a stroll through their videos and music clips to get a good preview of their sound. If you like them, tap the Like icon, and Bardsly will remember.
On the Artists page, the toggle button at the top right of the screen will limit your list to just the artists you have Liked.
My Program
Generate and download a timetable of all the shows you have Starred. If there's a clash, go back and make the choice. You can generate the timetable as often as you wish.
The cunning trick is to first Like the artists that interest you, then use the toggle switch on the Shows page to see what shows they're in, and Star the ones you want to see. Generate timetables until you've fixed all the clashes to your satisfaction, and print or save the final timetable.
Tickets
Do you have your tickets yet? Do your friends and family have their tickets yet? Choose this to jump straight to the festival's ticketing page. Don't do all this work and then miss out because you got distracted!

Install Bardsly to your device
Save Bardsly to your phone screen so you can use it like an app. Instructions differ according to what sort of phone or tablet you're using. For an iPhone or iPad, read "iOS Instructions". For a Samsung, Motorola, Google, Huawei or Oppo, or if you're not sure, read "Android Instructions":
iOS Instructions
Bardsly can be installed on iOS using the Safari web browser. First, go to the site in Safari. Press the "Share" button (a square with an arrow at the top) and select "Add to Home Screen" from the menu. Tap "Add" in the top right corner to install. Bardsly will now be on your home screen.
Android Instructions
The Chrome browser is capable of installing Bardsly for Android. First, go to the site in Chrome. Press the "three dot" icon in the upper right to open the menu ("⋮"). Select "Add to Home screen." Press the "Add" button in the popup. Bardsly is now installed and available in your apps list. If it doesn't appear anywhere on your home screen, you may need to open apps (swipe up from the bottom), scroll down to "Cygnet Bardsly", press and hold on it to make a menu pop up, and choose Install.
Reload the latest version
If Bardsly isn't updating itself even when your internet connection is working, it may be remembering an old version that it needs to forget. This is a two-step process. First, tap the button below. Then, swipe down from the top of the screen to reload. This will reload Bardsly on your device, which does require an internet connection while you do it, but will guarantee you're up to date with all the latest changes.
