## Review summary

Users find the Official Comic-Con App helpful for accessing schedules and maps, but commonly face significant problems including login and sync failures, poor readability due to background images, and missing functionality like event filtering and sorting. The app is often buggy, crashes, and performs worse than previous versions, leading some users to prefer printed schedules. While some improvements have been made, issues persist, especially for Android users, diminishing the overall experience.

### Pros

- App provides schedule and event information for Comic-Con and related events.
- Ability to sync and save schedule information is useful when it works.
- Maps and directions within the convention center are helpful when functioning properly.
- Previously, the app has been helpful and had useful features for event navigation.
- Occasionally includes useful reminders and notifications for scheduled events.

### Cons

- Frequent login and sync issues prevent schedule synchronization with the website (MySched).
- Poor usability due to difficult-to-read text caused by a busy or transparent background image.
- Lack of key features such as viewing events by room or venue, and inability to sort favorites chronologically.
- Unstable performance including crashes and update/download failures, especially close to or during the event.
- Poor or missing support for Android users compared to the iOS version, such as lack of dark mode or filtering options.
