Ratings and reviews

Used at a large convention (Otakon 2024 in DC). App frequently gets stuck on "updating guide" for a minute or more. Good things: faster than the slow convention website, actually lets you save your calendar and set reminders unlike the website, shows you where events and panels are on the real center map with real room numbers (the official con map is badly designed and confusing)

Effectively unusable with limited internet. I've had to resort to taking screenshots of the schedules because attempting to open the guide with a bad connection flashes the schedule data that has already been downloaded--just long enough to know it's there--before unceremoniously forcing you into an inescapable loading screen. I understand that you don't want your app to mislead people when schedules change, but effectively requiring constant, fast internet is not the solution. Fix it.

I had used this app at several annual gatherings in the past, but now, when I try to access this year's gathering (after 2 years off due to Covid), it is not showing up in the search results. I have a Pixel 6, not sure if there's some glitch that makes it inaccessible on this phone, although I did access it on my prior Pixel phones. I can still open all my prior events, which did transfer between phones, just can't get the current one!
