Difficult To Select A Session
The practically infinite scrolling of the App makes it impossible to compare the content of the various sessions so that one can make an informed decision on which session to attend.
It would be great to receive a printed copy of the programs so one can easily and physically flip from one page to another.
In the absence of the above, a PDF of the program would be helpful but nothing - nothing - can replace the experience and ease of use of a physical booklet.

Information was hard to find, keep, and track. Should release app sooner and open information sooner.
Falling short
Schedule part of the app was very disappointing. It was difficult to navigate. It was not clear on which items you submitted as part of your schedule which other lectures were not. I did choose multiple sessions for the same timeslot, but it did not let me prioritize and then confirm the actual lecture that I did go to. Also, one cannot pick the days so every time I open my schedule, it start off from the beginning.
All the background information required for some of the seminars, i.e. websites, backup of materials were not listed in the schedule. It was said that you could download PDFs of the presentations, but I only found one which had a PDF to upload. This was despite the lecture insisting that they had uploaded PDF AIA.
For connecting and make appointments with other attendees. You could reach out to them, but there was no confirmation that they ever even got your message. There are no prompts for them to reply to you.

Handouts missing
I tried to find presentation material on numerous seminars, including the one I presented, and cannot locate them. Heard the same complaint from numerous others.
session reservation needed
It would be best to allow pre-reservation for sessions to avoid the heartbreak of being excluded from an important one.
Schedule
Continues to not show CE courses that I have signed up for. Asked the APP help desk and they said it was coming. Feels like the Convention will be over before app shows classes
User Interface is Ruinous
I find it hard to believe that this app was updated just 1 week ago and that this is the 4th major iteration of this app (Version 4.43.1). I will happily volunteer to beta test next year's app and provide real world user feedback as a service to our fantastic community of architects and allies. It is a shame that searching for a course number returns incorrect results when rushing to find a session's room number...! That, and many other glitches along with zero in-app help, make me want some of my money back.
I'll stop complaining here, and reiterate my serious offer to beta test next year's app, and encourage the app's authors to reach out to recruit ACTUAL potential users ahead of time (starting next month!)
Good luck.

Useless App
I made a schedule spending an hour and at the time it was saved but later they were all gone. What a waste of time! The app also doesn’t show my purchased tours on my schedule.
AIA24 App is Broken
Any saved sessions are deleted once the app is reopened - PLEASE FIX BEFORE CONFERENCE!
