### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-11-12, version 1.7*

App just didn’t work no matter what I tried - just kept crashing

### 1/5 — Crashes as soon as I open on iPhone 6!!!

*2019-11-10, version 1.7*

This is a problem for other iPhone 6 users too. I’ve updated my software. Tech help desk can’t figure it out. Please find bug and fix! Meeting has begun!!

### 1/5 — Terrible app cast shadow over meeting

*2017-11-09, version 1.2*

I enjoyed the meeting overall, but was very frustrated by trying to keep track of the meeting.  I needed to use either an app on my phone or my computer, which is too heavy to carry with me, to keep track of poster sessions, as there is no longer an abstract book.  The app was utterly unreliable, crashing more than half the time when I did anything with it, showing my schedule as blank more than 2 times out of three unless I refreshed it immediately before checking my schedule, and about 1 time out of three even if I had just refreshed it.  It crashed when attempted any push of any button, or swipe--to get more information about a session, to go between my schedule and the meeting schedule, to look up an attendee or faculty.  And because the meeting is overscheduled, with literally no passing time built in between sessions, this means people walking the hallways or the poster hall, wanting to check that next room number or poster number again, and having to wait a minute while the app refreshes.  There are a lot of signs outside meeting rooms, but these do not show what is nearby, and the distances between rooms are not trivial when you’re missing the end of one session or the beginning of another to check these things.

This is unacceptable performance even for a ‘free’ app, because this app was not truly optional for meeting attendees who wanted to get the most out of the meeting.

And:  all that refreshing drained the phone battery so that all days but one I needed to use my backup battery to keep going from leaving from my hotel to returning in the evening, even when not taking phone calls, or checking social media apps, or watching videos at lunchtime.  I virtually need to recharge my phone during a normal workday in any of my hospitals or clinics unless I forget to charge it overnight and start the day at 50% or less, and that is with lots of checking e-mail while walking between events/clinics/patient rooms, taking calls, and sharing photos & videos with colleagues—a lot more screen time than at the meeting.  

Abstract books are expensive, and heavy, but they don’t crash and you can take notes in the margins with a pen and not your thumbs.
 
Get a better app maker—don’t accept the lowest bidder if they make crap apps!—or bring back the abstract book.
