Ratings and reviews

This was my first time using the app for a conference (AHS 61st Annual Scientific Meeting) and I was really pleased with it. I loved being able to have everything in one place, being able to choose my sessions, and the meeting reminders/messages were great! I did struggle a bit at first, but quickly figured things out. It was so much easier than referring to a paper schedule. When a session was changed/cancelled, being notified so you didn't waste time was fantastic. A great app overall.

Messages from conference organizers were slow to arrive thru the app...a couple of times too late. The app did not work with my laptop. The wifi at the convention center and my laptop could both be part of the problem. There was no back button or way to exit out of the evaluations and get back to the home page. I could not email handouts from the app to myself.

Stable, worked well and reliably at our conference. Two suggestions: 1. If something is saved on "My Events," default to opening that event automatically rather than making the user choose their event each time the app is opened. 2. Within a schedule, the app should default to the current day rather than defaulting to the first day of the event. These two shortcuts would make it easier for users to open the app and find what's happening at the moment. Thanks!
