What's New in APA National Events

1.7.3

April 20, 2022

Update to improve stability when downloading schedule content

User reviews

Generally Easy to access

I enjoyed using this app. I wish it had been available sooner than 12 days prior to the event so that I could better plan my schedule. It did not transfer my scheduled or ticketed events from the website, but I was able to recreate it (except for adding ticketed events). Within each presentation, I would have liked if the slides were available or if we were able to take photos in the app of the slides so that my notes coincided with them. I liked how it linked to the APA website to make it easy to log my CM credits.

Clunky

I wish there were more of the session descriptions shown. With so many sessions to choose from, just the title isn’t enough. Also some of the speakers were not listed to rate.

Really good, can be better

Never was able to get the schedule I’d created on the APA website to download to the app, but other than ticketed events was easy to recreate. Like the modular approach that will allow other APA and Chapter events to use the app going forward. The notes feature is a tad clunky—seems optimized for iPad but not so much the iPhone. Looking forward to improvements that will be forthcoming.

Not the strongest conference app

Having to manually refresh to get new content is a drag. Lack of connectivity with my handcrafted conference schedule housed at Planning.org was inconvenient, and the app wouldn’t let me add (“favorite”) ticketed programs for which I had paid.

Serious disappointment

Does not incorporate basic syncing functions even across similar devices using the same application and account! This is a standard tech function
