About this app

**FOR ATTENDEES ONLY**

The ALA Mobile Conference mobile application allows you to access the American Library Association's various annual conferences. Within the underlying event apps, users can access presentations, exhibitors, posters, and connect with other attendees. Users can also take notes adjacent available presentation slides and draw directly on slides inside the event apps.

Ratings and reviews

See below for 2021. In 2018 content suddenly disappeared, after several days of adding events! No link at all and no explanation. Here's my update in 2021: same exact problem! App crashes while doing updating. All pre-existing personal schedule data lost. Closing and restarting the app does not help. I don't see a way to have continuous/background updating - it seems to do nothing until you open it, then it takes forever. It looks really nice at first glance, but I have uninstalled.

I've yet to have a positive experience with the ALA conference apps but this year seems particularly bad. The list of disfunctions is long but I'll focus on the most frustrating: had to uninstall and reinstall to get the app from shutting down immediately, no content in the app FAQ, email support function fails to connect to email, Apple version doesn't seem to have a refresh option.

Enjoyed the app. Easier than carrying the full schedule and catalog. Search function could be a bit better, perhaps by having better descriptions with better key words included within them. For example, if you put two words in the search, it would only bring back exact matches to the phrase. if the words were in reverse order in the session description, it would return no results.

What's new

Minor bug fixes and improved functionality.
