The more tools we have to help navigate these four days of gaming fun, the better the experience becomes. ### 5/5 — Very helpful ! *2018-08-05, version 2.0.2* Nice little app to help out your GenCon experience. Thanks for all the work! ### 5/5 — Super helpful! *2018-08-05, version 2.0.2* My husband and I have used this all gen con and really, especially for a FREE app, it is fabulous. One who reviewed complained about a time sync/ update each time the app was opened. Yes- it does that INTENTIONALLY. People drop out of events leaving spaces available or sometimes they add more events. You the app to do this so you can get into events that may have filled. It’s very, very good. Update: the app has an interactive map that allows you to type in a location and it will pinpoint the room! Awesome! All you have to do from that point is follow the map. Come on people! We are gamers! No dungeon crawl has ever been THAT easy! ### 5/5 — Life saver! *2018-08-02, version 2.0.2* With the events no longer in the Program, this is a life saver today! ### 5/5 — Nice app but maps need to be inverted. *2018-07-31, version 2.0.2* The app works very well. However the maps need to be inverted so north is up. Otherwise this has proven a very useful app especially for a first time attendee. ### 5/5 — Useful *2018-07-14, version 2.0.1* Was really nice to use for Gencon 2017! ### 5/5 — Amazing Little App *2018-05-24, version 1.6.0* This very lightweight app makes searching for events and pulling up maps on the iPhone a breeze. I like that the app has the ability to quickly add events to my calendar, but my only wish is that I could customize what data from the event listing was moved to my calendar. It’s easy enough to just copy/paste the additional data I want, however. The only “bug” I’ve found: Last year I did notice some discontinuity between the food truck schedule in the app and the actual food trucks that showed up (Some trucks listed that never showed, and a lot of trucks that showed but were not listed), but this is likely because the food truck schedule is in so much flux until the very last minute. I don’t fault the developer for this. Otherwise, I’ve had no issues. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Thank You *2017-08-20, version 1.5.2* Thanks for putting this app together. I used it a dozen times a day during Gencon 2017. Please keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — A Must Have App! *2017-08-17, version 1.5.2* This is what the old Gencon app should've been. This is what their current website should be!! I put off searching for events this year, in part because their website makes searching through them so difficult. Just found this app a couple days ago. Phenomenally easy to use its search engine to find the events you are looking for. Cost and time slots are easily distinguishable as well. The database works offline, so when you are in the ICC with crappy cellphone connection, you don't have to worry about it. Not spend the $$$ the ICC wants for wifi access. If you attend Gencon, you need this app. Period. It is as important as the badge. ### 5/5 — Hanging on catalog load *2017-08-05, version 1.5.2* Update-deleted and reloaded app and seems to work now. ***Download the app fine and opened it and it downloads the event catalog but hangs at 18500 events downloaded... Doesn't seem to be doing much... Suggestions? ### 5/5 — Gen Con should hire the creator of this app... *2017-08-04, version 1.5.2* ...or at least send them a very nice fruit basket. Easy to search, use, and organize your schedule with it. Great job! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-08-04, version 1.5.2* This app is a must-have if you want maps for locations, food truck information or event lists right at your fingertips while at the convention. Well done keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Awesome App! Has Everything! *2017-08-04, version 1.5.2* This is a great app and has everything you need to have a great Con, Thanks for doing this and keeping it free. ### 5/5 — Markups? *2017-08-04, version 1.5.2* Super handy 5 Star app. Would be cool if you could add markups to the maps. Especially the vendor hall map. ### 5/5 — Catalog won't download? *2017-07-18, version 1.5.2* Update: fixed! Get a message that the whole catalog is going to download. But then the screen goes black and seemingly nothing happens. It's been two days of this. ### 5/5 — Must-have! *2016-08-04, version 1.2* Excellent app to have on-site! Often the convention center runs out of Con guidebooks, and it can be tough to find a reliable internet connection, so having the full event guide is VERY handy for finding events! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — No time sync/search capability *2016-08-04, version 1.2* The most important feature needed is missing. Very difficult to find upcoming events. You can filter by day, but you'll be scrolling 5 minutes before you get to the evening events. ### 4/5 — Love and appreciate this app but... *2019-05-18, version 2.0.3* 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! ### 4/5 — Great if you already know what you want *2019-05-15, version 2.0.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Gencon should've paid to have this app made! *2016-08-04, version 1.2* I love this app! The integration of the app with calendar made event planning easy. The maps are great, and the food truck schedule very useful. The only negative to the app is navigation. Would like to see tapable menus instead of slide to pages. ### 4/5 — Very useful! *2016-07-30, version 1.1* Love this app, sadly it doesn't work on my iPod 5th generation, which is what I wanted it for. Works fine on my older iPad though! Love the maps and food truck schedule! ### 5/5 — Great idea... *2018-08-13, version 2.0.2* 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. ### 5/5 — A great resource *2018-08-08, version 2.0.2* This little app was the best way to locate my games at GenCon; I'm so glad to have found it! ### 5/5 — Essential for Gen Con *2018-08-06, version 2.0.2* This app is so helpful at the Con. Having the maps at your fingertips (without having to lug the program book) is wonderful. ### 5/5 — Made GenCon so easy! *2018-08-06, version 2.0.2* Saved our lives at GenCon! Getting to put all of our games in was great and so helpful, and the maps of each location made finding our games so easy. Thank you so much for putting this together, I’ll definitely be coming back for 2019’s!! ### 5/5 — Very helpful at Gen Con *2018-08-06, version 2.0.2* My favorite part was being able to see any changes to my My List (aka schedule) in the app after it checked for updates. This was useful for knowing if people returned or bought tickets and how many would likely be participating. I used the maps a hundred times to find my way all over the event, and even scoured the events list several times when I had unexpected free time I needed to fill in. At the Con, this app was what I used for just about everything I needed. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-08-06, version 2.0.2* Mainly used it for the maps! Very nice to have every map I need right here! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-08-06, version 2.0.2* Easy to use. My favorite part - the food truck schedule! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2018-08-05, version 2.0.2* If you want THE best Gencon experience, this will be your go to. Whether you’re turned around and need a map, have forgotten which cavern your game of choice is in or looking for a game on the fly you’ll want this. ### 5/5 — Essential *2018-08-05, version 2.0.2* This was super helpful, especially since it was my first time attending. Thank you so much for making it! I hope in the future you'll be able to search by game title, publisher and booth number! ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2018-08-05, version 2.0.2* This app was utilized by me and a party of 3 to search time slots on the fly and allowed us to maximize our joint game time . Searches were superb ! Thanks for your effort. I’d like to see this app every year ( hint to GenCon LLC) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
