Ratings and reviews

The app is a "full screen" app and hides the swipe navigation bar on my Pixel. If I want to leave the app or switch to my calendar, I have to constantly swipe up twice to get to my home screen or other apps, which causes the calendar on the Hacker Tracker app to scroll down quite a bit. Please have an option to disable the full screen mode.

It helped a lot during the Con. However, perhaps an improvement that could be done for next year is if the activities for each hour are displayed horizontally. It was difficult and tedious to find the names of workshops and talks, specially if they were posted at the end. And what about if the app gets a search engine able to locate events by name of the talk, topic, presenter's name, etc.?

Helpful way to manage your defcon schedule. It shows all the villages and main tracks in the same place and then allows you to save your favorites. When something you saved is about to start, it'll notify you. Pretty nifty.
