Honestly pretty decent, wish it also had an overview by hour (not just the "live" and "now" setting, though they're good too). Some sections lack maps. Overall not bad.

The only thing missing to this app to be perfect is another schedule view (e.g. by room or global). Bookmarks and live events notification are awesome 👍

Hello, Unfortunately everybody lost their bookmarks on 8/1/24 because FOSDEM reset all the session ids in the schedule data during a migration. This should not happen again. All FOSDEM apps were impacted, and it's not related to an app upgrade. This app will always preserve the bookmarks data on upgrade, but not on downgrade.
