The Hollywood Bowl, considered the world’s premier outdoor music venue, and the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 2021, it was voted “Amphitheater of the Decade” at the 32nd Annual Pollstar Awards, along with winning Best Major Outdoor Concert Venue, for the past sixteen years. 

The Hollywood Bowl's mobile app was developed in consideration for a wide range of users. It included a robust feature set, housed within a modern, yet simple user interface. The native iOS and Android mobile apps allowed users to search, shop and explore the venue. Users could purchase tickets, order food to their seats, and even explore the venue through an interactive map. The map integrated destination filters, allowing users to quickly and easily search across the venue's many points of interest. It also featured a group album, populated by uniquely tagged user submitted photos. Photos were aggregated from open profiles across various social networks. The app's most innovative feature was the Find Your Friends tool, aimed at bringing online friends, offline, at the Bowl. Through geolocation integration, this op-in only feature would notify users if anyone from their network of Facebook friends was attending the same event. This app was developed for both the 2017 and the 2018 seasons.
