Good idea, but two complaints.
The idea of having an app designed to be user friendly to help attendees plan their schedules and interact with the conference virtually is a good idea.
However, I have two complaints:
1. (Virtual user support) Virtual users in a different time zone must export their schedule via email using the hopefully familiar icon for export, then give their email, then examine the ics file to see the schedule in their time zone. The documentation should be changed to document this workaround. Next, this feature should be added TO THE APP so that virtual users can see session times in their time zone as well as the time zone of conference.
2. (Larger type: Accessibility) The documentation advocates using the larger type option in Accessibility settings. On my iPad, this app does not accomplish this task. I used the zoom option, also in the Accessibility settings for my iPad successfully. The zoom option is my first backup to the Larger type Accessibility feature of the iPad. The app should the accessible, and all features should be documented correctly.

It won’t open
I would love to use this app as I’m going to a WE local this weekend but it won’t let me open it! I select my con location and nothing happens!
Just ok
Can be hard to navigate and lost synching. Never got it back
Best conference app!
All conferences should model the SWE app …. Well done.
So user friendly!!
This app was truly amazing! I used the search feature that worked very well and it was an all around clean look and joy to work with.
Seamless
The application is built solidly
Good info - hard to find and use

Review
Would be better if you could filter the companies by major/ position they are looking for. Also would be nice if you could connect your schedule to outlook. Very easy to use! And super helpful!
The best way to organize your SWE event experience!
This is a great app for SWE conferences and improvements are made each year. These large events have so much to offer that it can feel overwhelming, but the app allows you to easily filter or search for sessions that fit your industry / interests and build your schedule. It's also updated real-time during the event so if sessions get cancelled or moved, you'll have the latest info. You can also take notes, read speaker bios, look at the conference social media feed, and message other attendees. It's great, check it out!

Lack GPS to help finding rooms
It is always an event in huge multiple buildings and the frustration of missing session trying to figure where you are in relation to where the trim you want to go
White screen
Recent update now just shows me a white screen after startup. Please fix! I’m looking forward to SWE18 conference updates for Minneapolis as well.
