Ratings and reviews

The GUI is inconsistent ("search" functionality is implemented differently on different pages) and not intuitive. Search does not always work - frequently it reports only one results when multiple are shown on the website. The app is ridiculously slow on a modern phone. "Sync calendar" does not seem to work (it only occasionally adds and never successfully removes events).

A big bag of worms (bugs). Sometimes, the app doesn't start for more than 2 minutes. In-person participants are listed as virtual. Multiple records for some participants, including outdated info and info not released by people. For leads scanning, most of the March Meeting-2023, the system was not displaying the leads info on the scanning phone. Exported leads Excel sheet is missing multiple leads. Emails to the mysterious Joe Kenson bounce. Customer support responds to you in the 3rd person.

Every year I am shocked how unusable, confusing, unstable, and useless this app is for organizing my time at APS conferences
