Love and appreciate this app but...

Can you give me a button to adjust this list font? Its terrible on a phone, can only see first 16 characters of each line. Second, can you allow for jumping to a starting letter when sorting by title. Like if i want to see games that start with “s” im scrolling for days. Thanks!

Great if you already know what you want

I can see how this app will be useful once I’m there, but if you were hoping to browse through events, and don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, it’s hard to build your list. It’d be nice to be able to sort by event type, but I think the best way to use this is to come to it with your events already mostly picked out. It’ll be a lifesaver once I’m on the floor.

Great idea...

I’m struggling with the app. It downloads the full list of events each time I open the app (not an update, the actual full list of events). My 4 lists were not saved after I left the app. Perhaps this is user error or I have some settings wrong on my phone.

The developer is working with me to try and prevent my issues from happening next year. So far, we have yet to replicate my issue, as all functions are working as expected.

A great resource

This little app was the best way to locate my games at GenCon; I'm so glad to have found it!

Essential for Gen Con

This app is so helpful at the Con. Having the maps at your fingertips (without having to lug the program book) is wonderful.
