## Description

The AGU Events app is your resource to navigate the meetings and events managed by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Download individual meeting programs as they become available and launch events to access your schedule, either by syncing with the online program or starting fresh. Browse or search the entire program to build your itinerary, bookmark sessions or speakers, and take notes. Interact with fellow attendees via attendee-to-attendee messaging, and locate exhibitors in the exhibit hall. Stay up-to-date with conference news and social media updates.

Available offline: Once a program is downloaded, you can access the conference program, schedule, and animated maps without wifi. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

## Review summary

User reviews consistently cite AGU Events as slow and unreliable. The most frequent issues are startup/opening failures, long data-loading times, and heavy storage requirements (gigabytes). Users also report poor data synchronization with schedules/calendars and a clunky navigation experience with modal dialogs. While a few note potential benefits when the app works, these recurring performance and data-management problems substantially hinder planning and using the app during AGU meetings.

### Cons

- Very slow performance and lag; data loads are slow and the UI becomes unresponsive.
- App often won’t open or launch; startup failures are common.
- Excessive storage/memory usage (several GB) on devices.
- Data loading/updating delays and poor calendars/schedule sync; difficulty loading conferences or syncing schedules.
- Poor navigation/UX with intrusive modal dialogs; hard to find sessions or presenters.
