Terrible app bad Ui
This app is a dumpster fire, it’s impossible to search for anything, the Home Screen is a faq page with no options, and nothing works as intended. Viewing schedule kind of works so I give 2/5 Star
Over designed and under functional
Let’s start with where are some brand graphics for attendees social media? That should be front and center, easy to use portrait graphics for attendees to drop their headshots or logos on that they can use on their socials to announce their attendance. Too many talks are over capacity, seems like they didn’t plan well enough.

App is sharing personal private information
The app is sharing personal information to anyone you connect to with no way to prevent this since after you edit it, it then syncs with a server and reverts changes
Hard to use effectively
Very clunky and hard to find things.
Also highly annoying that they don’t allow you to view your own schedule per-day. The only way you can view your calendar is the entire thing , and you have to scroll way,way down to look at anything later in the week

Perfection
Always my go-to for scheduling which talks and events I’m going to attend! Super simple to use, navigate, and connect with every single year. Highly recommend!
Nothing works
Month out from the conference and I can’t see the sessions make a schedule or message people.
Failure to update
I am so happy there is an app, finding my way around as a first time GDC attendee was significantly improved with the app. That said, I kept getting my first day of “my events” and not “latest” or even “current time” events. I understand
in the “build my” why you move to the next hour, when “my events” is stuck on Tuesday though the “build my” is the easier menu to see relevant events I might want to join, easily. The SxSW app was better, and it also had issues.
I realize that “when” it “where” of events is not something that is well known as early as badge purchase, letting me know though that the sessions I wanted to attend were in core, and not available on expo at the time I pre-registered, or even that there was an upgrade option until Friday was a failure in communication to customers. I was informed I could purchase individual sessions when I realized I wanted to go to core, not until Friday though did any of the orange shirts inform me I could update from expo to core. Best would be to see examples of class structures when I pre-order my badge, better would be class descriptions that are known, even if times or rooms or both are unknown. I would give the expo badge and selling me a product a 2 star, the review is of the app though, and it qualifies for 4 stars.

Basic functionality not done well
Needs usability tuning on iOS. Agenda view is very poor. Can’t filter, hide past sessions etc.
Real basic stuff to get wrong
Real basic stuff to get wrong
Non functioning
As of today completely non functional. Hopefully they will get it up & running?
cant even see agenda
poor app has nothing to do
No dark mode, but the app works
^^^^^^
No font size confit
Young programmers and UIX people under 40 don’t get that the font size must be customizable. Learn from Apple and Google. Don’t ignore system font size settings.
Poor app
Use the M2M instead
Lacking many features
Why no ability to bookmark sessions?
Very useful
Just would like to see more atendees and expositors use it fully.
Garbage
Keeps logging me out. Back buttons take you to tops of long lists. Won’t clear my notifications. Filters logged me out. Has no facial recognition for logging in. Puts up an ad every time I do log in, can’t seem to close it manually.
Technically functional
The app does an ok job displaying the full schedule and creating a personal schedule.
There are two main reasons for my 2 stars:
1) The app drains battery ridiculously fast. I have a brand new battery in my phone, and 20-30 minutes of looking through the schedule to plan my day took 25% of my battery. The battery usage data on the phone says that it used 45% of the charge and was open for 47 minutes total today.
2) The app forces a popup ad every single time the app is opened. Due to the battery issues, I closed the app a lot and it is very annoying to have a forced ad when I just want to check my schedule.

Otherwise seems ok.

New to GDC
Very impressed by the app and how accessible everything is. I just wish there was more of me to see it all!
