Schedule app for FOSDEM, the European Open Source conference. The conference is held in Brussels every year at the beginning of February. This app gives you an up to data schedule and you can star your favorite talk so you can see where to go next. You can also select the schedules of the previous year, and have them selected as favorites (thumbs-up) as well. If there is video available of the talks of the previous years, you can watch the video, so you have something to watch in case the room of your preferred talk is too full. This is donationware. The previous developers (Adam Ziolkowski and Leon Handreke) would like to have some beer donated at the conference. Me, (Johan Henselmans), I prefer a nice cup of coffee, some 'Belgische frieten' and a reserved seat in some talks. FOSDEM name and the 'gear' logo are trademarks of FOSDEM VZW. Used with permission.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Jeli at every 3 weeks against FOSDEM's every 22 months. FOSDEM's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
