RuneFest 2018 kicks off on the 5th October through to the 6th October and it's going to be bigger and better than any RuneFest before! Today, we'd like to announce the brand-new RuneFest app alongside opening the nominations for the prestigious Golden Gnome Awards!
RuneFest App

Today, we'd like to announce the launch of the brand-new RuneFest App! Available now, free for all via the RuneFest Guidebook Website on both iOS and Android devices, the RuneFest App is your go-to for everything related to this year's show. The app will include everything you need to know for the event, featuring things such as:
- Stage and panel schedules
- Event floor plans (Including activity/food/stage locations)
- Merchandise ranges & pricing
- Social networking
- Personalised schedules and notifications
To use the app simply download it to your mobile device via the RuneFest Guidebook Website and you'll find most functionality at the tap of your finger! You can create an account using the various options available within the app for additional personalisation options if you choose to do so. The app is not linked to your RuneScape account.
