Support your QA team. *2026-03-28, version 9.1.1* -If an event ends at midnight, that becomes the visual clutter at the top of the schedule for the following day. -Imagery as a background for the Location text is a great way to make the location text hard to read. Don’t overlay these items! ### 4/5 — Great! Where’s dark mode? *2025-06-25, version 8.7.1* I love this app to look at schedules for conferences and stuff. But, it DOES NOT have dark mode and my eyes are burning using it. (I might be wrong about where settings are) But, I still can’t find dark mode. Otherwise, love it. ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-02-04, version 8.5.0* Keeps crashing ### 3/5 — Text is too small *2025-01-16, version 8.4.4* Text is too small, and doesn’t follow user preferences. ### 3/5 — App keeps crashing *2024-09-01, version 8.2.7* Day one and the app worked fine. Day 3 of the con and I get notified at 8:15am about what I thought was a 2:30pm event starting in 15 minutes…. I tried to check my schedule - crash. I tried to check the com schedule - crash. I restarted my phone and tried again -crash. Will try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. It’s the one panel I want to see and I can’t pull up any schedules for the con. :,( ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2024-08-24, version 8.2.4* App crashes when clicking on an event to see more details. ### 4/5 — it does what it needs to do *2023-07-10, version 7.21.11* doesn’t have dark mode. overall a good application, although i wish the web version had more functionality ### 4/5 — Can’t see search results *2023-04-06, version 7.21.7* The app is wonderful, unless you actually want to search for something. For some reason, they designed it so that the search results appear behind the keyboard, and do not give you any means to hide the keyboard. So you can see search results, but just not the last two or three. ### 4/5 — What happened? *2022-10-27, version 7.21.0* Had some old guides that I had downloaded to my account, now I see nothing but the most recent, what happened to all the rest? ### 4/5 — night mode request *2022-07-06, version 7.19.2* please make a night/dark mode for your app. almost every single application has this option available so a lot of people would appreciate it alot. ### 4/5 — Why the constant reloading?? *2022-05-09, version 7.19.1* First used this for Too Many Games last year and was a lovely sidekick to have! Now using it for Acen incoming buuut was reminded why I s carry a booklet around. Why does it CONSTANTLY reload so much?? I'm just trying to plan out my day(s) but it knocks me back to the start of a day. Gotta update this already.. ### 4/5 — Great but… *2022-02-10, version 7.18.10* I like this app and all but… 1. As I’m scrolling through each day’s schedule, it constantly SMU suddenly scrolls back to the top of that day’s schedule causing me to have to scroll back down to where I was. Very annoying!!! 2. Does this app sync across devices? ### 3/5 — Irritating “glitch”? *2022-02-10, version 7.18.10* I’ve used this app for years - and I love having all pertinent info at my fingertips. However, it is SUPER irritating that it continually pops back up to the top of the day’s events anytime it is in use. Is there ANY way to fix that? So annoying! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2024-10-21* The app doesn’t give any explanation of how it works. It’s highly confusing to work with and I have no idea how to use it. My event will not come up when I search for it and there is no help buttons or tutorials anywhere can I can find. Don’t bother with this ### 1/5 — MESA 2023 crashes when using schedule *2023-10-30, version 7.21.17* Every time I click on a panel to see more information the app crashes and closes. I’m using a reasonably new iPhone and I tried rebooting the phone. It is very consistent: it crashes every time. ### 1/5 — Useless “calendar” *2023-10-25, version 7.21.16* They took away the option to favorite events and add it to a calendar within the app and get reminded. ### 1/5 — Not near me *2023-05-24, version 7.21.9* The app mainly shows events from other states for me. ### 1/5 — No iCal export for My Schedule *2023-03-20, version 7.21.6* There isn’t an export feature like iCal to sync your My Schedule with your personal schedule. Makes the My Schedule useless. ### 1/5 — Same issue as July 2021 *2022-02-06, version 7.18.9* The schedule will freeze and not load. I am unable to select events/sessions to add to my schedule. It happened with the TCDA convention back in July 2021 and it’s still happening now with the TMEA 2022 convention. It’s frustrating!!!! I have a new iphone now so I don’t think it’s my iphone. ### 1/5 — What an incredible battery drainer. *2021-11-13, version 7.18.8* I installed this app, didn’t install anything else, in that time. Within 2 hours, I barely looked at my phone, and had the screen on less than 5 minutes total to check emails, the battery drained 20%. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2021-08-28, version 7.18.6* The schedule refreshes every 20 secs makes it hard to use ### 1/5 — Scroll on schedule does not work *2021-08-18, version 7.18.6* On schedule after scrolling to look at events happening on a day, the scrolling feature will not work. Please fix. ### 1/5 — No way to turn off alerts from within the app *2021-08-18, version 7.18.6* Alerts that you didn’t sign ipnfor clog your notifications. You can only turn them off via the phone’s notification settings. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just one error *2026-08-19, version 9.2.9* There is an error that everytime I try to log in on the sign up page it tells me reset password on the sign up page when I downloaded the app for the first time and I tried to create my account after hitting the terms of use and policy ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-03-22, version 8.6.1* Stable. Easy to navigate. Needs dark mode. ### 5/5 — I Love Guidebook! *2024-02-14, version 7.23.0* I use Guidebook for every convention I go to, and I simply love it! It makes planning and scheduling so easy. It really just scratches that organization itch. ### 5/5 — Do you know what your *2023-08-05* Just let us go back and ### 5/5 — Did you have any idea what we *2023-07-30* I’m not a good person and not ### 5/5 — We do need a new car to *2023-07-30* Zombie apocalypse has to do for ### 5/5 — So you got to call the *2023-06-20* Can I get your call from ### 5/5 — I’m not sure if it is *2023-06-15* I think I can only get a couple ### 5/5 — I’m not going to get back to the *2023-06-14* I have a problem going back in ### 5/5 — We can get the stuff together and *2023-06-13* I’m sure we are not sure we --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
