Review summary

Many users find the Anime Matsuri app valuable for viewing convention schedules, but complaints overwhelmingly highlight frequent crashes, loading issues, and a confusing, sluggish user interface. The app's exclusivity for schedule viewing frustrates users, especially when it doesn't function properly. Users request updates and improved stability, expressing disappointment in limited compatibility and a lack of alternative access methods, with several calling for significant improvements or reconsideration of the app's design and maintenance.

Pros

Useful for knowing the event schedule and what's happening during the convention.
When the app works, it functions well and updates are timed around the convention schedule.
Loved by some users as a dedicated convention app.

Cons

App frequently crashes and fails to load content, especially the schedule and program guide.
The user interface is sluggish, confusing, and not user-friendly, with some categories never loading.
Scheduling information is only available through the app, limiting access and causing frustration if the app doesn't work.
App is buggy, slow, and has errors like incorrect day of the week and 404 page not found messages.
Limited device compatibility and no alternative access through laptops or updated website.

2022-07-30	風呂*****	Buggy and slow. Can't even get the day of the week right. Not available on laptops or many phones. Use a CMS that can publish to the website, like strapi or story blocks. This app combined with the abandoned website was the worst part of the convention.

2021-07-25	Ci*****	The UI was very sluggish and confusing to navigate. Some categories were simply blank and never loaded. This was a big complaint among the people I interacted in Matsuri 2021. I hope the developers put more time, effort, and capital on this application if they ever want a user friendly UI that everyone would enjoy.
