Light Night Leeds 2019

response required

Hello, unfortunately due to network issues (lack of reception in the city centre) the interactive map was very slow to load, plus it was raining so it meant I was unable to fully explore all the light installations because it took too long to find them. A suggestion for next year would be to have a quick reference guide using the image of the light installation and location first, then click on it to find out more info of artists and map reference. Also, a route of the parade would have been nice, such as times and locations.

Though I’d go paper-light this year, plus an app on your phone should be easier to see in the dark. Should have stuck with the paper copy. Would have been better if there was a contents page. Currently you have to click on stars on a map which brings up a brief description of the attraction. Would have made things easier if you could see what the attractions were instead of clicking on all of the 47 stars. Would make planning much more simpler!

I was disappointed that there was no list view option. I found that was it really clumsy to have to click onto each star to plan my evening. Maybe the event numbers rather than stars on the map, then when there is a cluster together you can differentiate. A few guided routes would be nice. As mentioned in other reviews, the ability to favourite the things you want to see would be handy and maybe a calendar for timed performances. It would have been easier if the map centred on your location. I found the paper copy much more useful than the app which is a shame. I hope some improvements are added for next year.

Please can you include an option to favourite the things you want to see? You could change the colour of the stars for the ones you’ve favourited which would make it easy to see what you want to go visit 😊

I bought the app thinking that there would be useful info in it, such as times of performances (some things are only on once an hour so wanted to plan our night). It doesn’t have any more info than what is on the council webpage. Don’t bother.
