## Review summary

Users report that the CES 2025 app is intended to help organize and connect at the event, but it suffers from severe usability problems. Common issues include frequent crashes and freezes, unreliable login that forces repeated re-authentication, inadequate search capabilities, and poorly functioning maps that hinder navigation. The app also lacks offline support, which is critical in crowded event spaces. These problems repeatedly frustrate attendees and diminish the app's effectiveness during the conference.

### Pros

- Useful tool for organizing the CES experience.
- Good for connecting with colleagues and people at CES.
- Generally works for scheduling and notes entry briefly before issues arise.

### Cons

- App frequently crashes or freezes, requiring reinstallations.
- Search functionality is limited and often non-functional, missing keywords and proper filtering.
- Map feature is difficult to navigate, slow, and lacks key details like exhibitor names and user location.
- App forces frequent logouts, ignoring 'remember me' settings, causing user frustration.
- App struggles to update schedule and sometimes gets stuck downloading new information.
- Lacks offline functionality, causing issues in crowded venues with poor connectivity.
