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. ### 3/5 — Clunky *2019-04-17, version 1.7* 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. ### 4/5 — Really good, can be better *2019-04-16, version 1.7* 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. ### 2/5 — Not the strongest conference app *2019-04-16, version 1.7* 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. ### 2/5 — Serious disappointment *2019-04-15, version 1.7* Does not incorporate basic syncing functions even across similar devices using the same application and account! This is a standard tech function ### 1/5 — Completely useless *2019-04-15, version 1.7* The information are hard to access and organize in a weird way...not to mention that most of the times the app doesn’t work. Also, why having a conference app separate from the association app (assuming this existed)? ### 2/5 — Unreliable and confusing *2019-04-14, version 1.7* This app crashes and freezes frequently. It did not import my schedule as I built it online for the conference and it somehow counted me twice. The app does have good information but it hardly feels ready for the conference. ### 1/5 — Won’t sync with mobile workshops, can’t filter search *2019-04-14, version 1.7* This app is not very good compared to previous years. You can’t filter by cm type of credit (law, ethics, etc) and it won’t sync with the mobile workshops I paid for and am attending (can’t add those to my schedule or log my cm credits for those). ### 1/5 — If I have no internet, how did I download the app *2019-04-13, version 1.7* Cannot login to app because of a bunch of windows that claim I have no internet. Never seen them. I do have internet. Now I cannot find out where I need to be at the event ### 5/5 — Great app. Best ive ever used! *2019-04-13, version 1.7* Amazing app. So organized. Put a star next to session adds it to your schedule, even multiple at the same time. Log credits easily! ## Frequently asked questions about APA National Events ### What can I do with this app?
