Ratings and reviews

I'm using a Google Pixel 9a, which has rounded edges at the top of the phone. Since the app’s menu is located in the top-left corner, it requires very precise finger movement to open it—making it tricky to access. Additionally, it seems that touch inputs don’t register properly near the very top edge of the screen. (my conference posted some PDFs using Google drive, save as links aren't clickable because it is at the very top of the screen)

I dislike needing to allow alarm permissions vs. notifications. I'm also disappointed that the app will not allow you to add events from the schedule without it. Especially odd as the convention I'm using the app for shared that last year they essentially used this app as the foundation and it did not require alarm permissions to work or to select events. However, those complaints aside, it is full of useful information for the convention. The alarm thing is a big miss though, in my opinion.

Effectively unusable with limited internet. I've had to resort to taking screenshots of the schedules because attempting to open the guide with a bad connection flashes the schedule data that has already been downloaded--just long enough to know it's there--before unceremoniously forcing you into an inescapable loading screen. I understand that you don't want your app to mislead people when schedules change, but effectively requiring constant, fast internet is not the solution. Fix it.
