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

Completely useless

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)?

Unreliable and confusing

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.

Won’t sync with mobile workshops, can’t filter search

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).

If I have no internet, how did I download the app

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

Great app. Best ive ever used!

Amazing app. So organized. Put a star next to session adds it to your schedule, even multiple at the same time. Log credits easily!

Cant link schedule from desktop

Signed in but not linking with schedule saved on desktop!

Very user unfriendly

Very difficult

Dumb app

This app is dumb. It won’t let me add ticketed events that I paid for to my schedule. It won’t even let me “favorite” them. What is the actual purpose of not allowing folks to favorite specific events? I was planning to use this app to figure out my schedule for the conference but WELP, can even use it for that.

Having issues

Having some issues, after opening and working once, the app keeps freezing on the apa logo even after force quitting and restarting. It also won’t let me add the mobile workshops I’m signed up for or synch things that I’d previously added to my schedule on the apa website.

David

Having repeated problems—got conference schedule loaded yesterday, but trips to “home” screen and won’t go back or forward-stuck.

Crash

Loads fine on d/l, then sits and spins....

Terrible Ap for 2019

Won’t let me add listed events I have tix for, would not let me send auto generated e-mail to support for help, and has CDC reunion party listed 9 am to Noon - that is a serious problem! Better be working 24/7 to fix this!

Not obvious at first log in...

The event first shown was for “National Business Meeting”, not “NPC19” and there is no obvious log in link. You have to open an event first (even if it’s not the event you are looking for) in order to log in.
Once logged in, you can see the correct event and the entire schedule.

App doesn’t load any events

I am registered for the conference, but the app isn’t loading any information at all about any event.

Doesn’t work

App doesn’t have NPC19, and crashes. Need to fix ASAP.
