From the first favourite to the next show
Visitors save their favourites and find their personal schedule. Reminders follow their choices, so the next show stays close without starting the search again.
Your festival. In their pocket.

From €85/month
12-month commitment, totalling €1,020 excl. VAT/year.

What a visitor actually holds.
The Celestia screens below are real captures of the application, running an invented edition. Celestia is not a client and never happened: it was made for this page, which is the honest way to show you the whole product without putting somebody else's festival on the internet. The Photos screen shows the shared gallery during a real event, supplied for this page. These screens show the full demo, including advanced features quoted separately and not included in Essential.

Your main stage, in motion
The main stage on the first screen is drawn, lit and animated for Celestia. A custom animated stage based on your artwork is an optional advanced feature, quoted separately and not included in Essential.

They open it and know what to do next
What is playing right now, on which stage, until when. Your news under it and your links one tap away. The first screen answers the question everybody on site is actually asking.
Advanced features shown, on quote
The whole lineup, day by day
A timetable or a timeline, searchable by artist and stage, filtered by genre, opening on today. One tap puts an artist into a visitor's own schedule.

Everybody builds their own festival
Star the artists they came for and the timetable becomes theirs, with overlapping sets flagged rather than discovered at the barrier, and a reminder before each one at a lead time they choose.
Advanced features shown, on quote
A map of your site, not a pin on a road map
Your own artwork, your stages, bars, toilets and exits, filtered by category, with the visitor drawn on it where they are standing. Tap a stage and its schedule opens.

Live location shared with friends, by code or by link
Direction and distance to a friend across the site

A place for every group plan
Visitors can keep their festival plans in group chats, whether they are meeting for a set or organising the trip home. Each group's latest message is right where they can find it.

A gallery made by the crowd
People add their own pictures to the event gallery. They are together in one place, can be reported, and remain under the organiser's control.

It earns its place weeks before the gates
A countdown to the first set, the forecast for each festival day, the news as it lands, and tickets and travel where people go looking for them. Installed early, opened all the way through.

- App Store and Play Console submission, review and release, not just a build
Before launch, we check together that access, alerts, moderation and data handling fit your festival.
This list is not the limit.
Have something else in mind for your festival? The possibilities do not stop with the features above. Tell me what you want the app to do: I would be delighted to design and build it with you.
One build. Every edition.
The application does not know it is Celestia. The name, the colours, the artwork, the map, the tabs, the links and the whole lineup arrive as data, which is why a second festival is a configuration rather than a second project, and why next year's edition is not next year's rebuild.
It does not know it is a festival either. An edition is a name, a set of days, a map and a lineup, and a venue season, a sports weekend or a three-day conference are the same four things under different words. If you run one of those, the question is worth asking.
What organisers ask first.
- Can I get an app for a single edition?
- Yes. A single edition can be the starting scope. Running more editions later is a change of data rather than a new project, because the application carries each edition's name, map and lineup as configuration.
- Is it a native app on iPhone and Android?
- Yes, on both. The foundation includes native iPhone and Android applications. The demo shows their current state; adaptation, exact scope and publication are agreed for your edition.
- Will the app carry my festival's name and artwork?
- Yes. Your festival's name, colours, artwork, site map, tabs, links and full lineup are loaded as data, so the application appears under your identity, not Appro's.
- Does it work for events that are not festivals?
- Yes. An edition is a name, a set of days, a map and a lineup, so a venue season, a sports weekend or a three-day conference fit the same application.
