First - Hats off to the team.
I am in New Jersey in the US (between 2 major markets of New York and Philadelphia.) What impressed me the most was that not only was I able to pick up shows at major theaters, shows, events, but I was able to pick up shows from local bars, cafes, restaurants, and even at VFW's!!! Very impressive.
Second, I like the feature of being able to add the selected artists into my profile and able to sync with Nokia music (and the artists I have there as well.) To be able to even purchase their music as well!!! Good job!
Third, syncing with maps. Very impressive. I picked out at random a few upcomning concerts and was able to find exactly the location of the concert on my Ovi Map 3.04. Great job again!!
Fourth, Facebook connection and sharing was a good option. I like that.
Now, why this is only 4 out of 5.....
1) Facebook interaction should incorporate more. It felt a bit flat and feel that should be ways to add not only add this there, but somehow maybe share with your friends to go to the cocnerts together.... more sharing there.
2) I think this should have access to Twitter. Should be a source of not only going to the concert but twittering the experience as well both before, during and after....
3) I think once you have an artist in your profile, you should have a link to not only purchasing their music, but seeing the rest of their upcoming concerts. This was not easy to see when navigating through the menus.
4) Purchasing... I had 2 problems in the puchasing history...
a) when trying to purchase a local concert from the ticket master option, had problem going through the security (where they reveal a word and you need to type it in.) No matter when i type in the right words, it still did not accept it and kept looping at that spot.
b) For some concerts, the purchasing from the web from every option (even though not greyed out), prevented me from going to the website to purchase (and did not give me a good reason for it.) If it is sold out, it should reveal that informtion rather than making the user think it is a web error type experience.
5) Last, although I know this is Gig finder for music, I believe you should expand past gigs and also for Broadway Theater type events (plays, comedies, etc...)
Overall... Great job! I hope this is a future integration into Ovi Maps! That would be great! Keep it up!
