Not accurate with coconut mountain on a stick bcz its not there anymore. Booooh! Ive politely commented to them that they need to bring it back but they havent had it for years so idk why its listed. Replacement flavor not nearly as good according to many. Also choc cov bacon maple nougat is NOT at this location. Sad. Nutritional info is cute but anyone looking to b healthy at the fair shouldn't be attending.

I just downloaded the app even though I was skeptical from all of the bad reviews. Honestly, I like it. It gets the job done by telling me where the items are at the fair. People are complaining about not having nutritional info, but honestly the food isn’t made the same every time, so that won’t be 100% accurate. Plus, when I go to the fair I expect to eat a lot of calories anyway so that didn’t matter to me too much. Also, yes you can’t search what you want, but for someone who has never gone to the fair they won’t know what to search for. Everything is listed in alphabetical order, so just scroll through to what you are looking for. It isn’t that difficult. Quite accurate from what I saw and I think it deserves 5 stars!!

No nutritional info. This year I actually care about that. Also whenever I pick a food, the location pops up and so does a message saying that Google maps can’t display correctly and I must click OK. I would rather have out of date info than none at all. Congrats. Now no info at all! Google map thing is fix. Bad news now the only thing that comes up are the adds. What a piece of crap!! Exactly what I would expect from the Register who asks for extra money to deliver more ads on holidays. I’m a fair information volunteer. I rely on this information and tell the people that ask about food to download your app. I start tomorrow and I will tell them definitely do not download. Sad.

This app was great in 2017 for finding some healthy food choices and seeing nutritional info, but both things are gone for 2018. There is also no description of the menu items, it’s not searchable, and it’s not a comprehensive listing. It is nice to be able to find food locations, but everything this app does in 2018 (except the “on a stick” listing) is something that the general Iowa State Fair app includes—and that app also has search functionality.

*UPDATE Now it works but is missing nutrition info. When I go to the Fair I eat whatever I want but I still want to know the facts. Still needs a search feature.
