Ratings and reviews

Functional convention apps exist why are we bothering with this? It's so bad. The back button goes back a random number of levels. The icons aren't consistent (events=star at bottom of page, save event to schedule=star, schedule=clipboard, rate event=clipboard). It's not easy to get between pages and annoying to use

Needs some fixesl (Samsung s8 active) First, the pages seem to stop scrolling. I believe this because I can find no place to save my profile, and I cannot scroll to the place in the panel description to show what track a panel is part of. Second, I cannot see where I can just filter by track in events. If I don't need to see the filking and photo sessions, I should be able to filter them out. The taxonomy of track/event seems really off.

It's not an obvious and rather counterintuitive that friends aren't added at the friends panel, but the attendees tab on the main page. More importantly, events that cross midnight appear on the agenda, but not the schedule. The schedule is the default, which is frustrating. Links to exhibitor websites get an error page, although links to Facebook pages apoear to work correctly. On the plus side, the maps are great and easy to read and the event filters are super helpful.
