What makes a great gig diary?
A gig diary should take seconds to update: artist, venue, date, and who you went with. If you are still scrolling camera rolls six months later, the app has failed.
Discovery matters too — pulling Ticketmaster, Skiddle, and Setlist.fm into one search saves retyping venue names from Instagram stories.
Radar vs alert-only apps
Apps like Songkick excel at tour alerts but do not give you a personal venue map, crew tags, or Concert Wrapped from your own history.
Radar combines a timeline of past and upcoming gigs, taste match with friends, achievements, and Pro features like Clashfinder for festivals.
