Most reviews praise the app for scheduling and aiding first-timers, but the app is hindered by a clunky UI, unreliable search, and persistent privacy concerns. Users report frequent crashes or outages, heavy battery use, and forced ads. Critical missing features include per-day views, bookmarking sessions, and customizable notifications. Privacy worries include exposure of personal data and difficulty removing or controlling it. Despite some praise for accessibility, the overall sentiment highlights significant UX flaws and data security risks.

This app is a dumpster fire, it’s impossible to search for anything, the Home Screen is a faq page with no options, and nothing works as intended. Viewing schedule kind of works so I give 2/5 Star

Let’s start with where are some brand graphics for attendees social media? That should be front and center, easy to use portrait graphics for attendees to drop their headshots or logos on that they can use on their socials to announce their attendance. Too many talks are over capacity, seems like they didn’t plan well enough.
