Loved how I could type in my Conference notes into my tablet and then email the notes to my work address. This made things really easy to submit to my employer information regarding what I had learned and verify the sessions I had attended. The map of the conference area really helped me to locate where the sessions were... important on the first couple of days. Synopsis of each session were included. And if I wanted to look up sessions by the speakers, this too was possible. One suggestion: A calendar-formatted listing of date/time would have been nice to help me organize which sessions I had preselected as my initial favorites.

The current version is superb: easy to find and to mark sessions to attend. Sessions are presented as a continuous scroll with day-of-the-week shortcuts into this list.

I especially like the new (to me, at least) feature to let you know about any sessions available between ones that you’ve saved.

I’ve used this app yearly since it first came out, but in a half-hearted way. This year, however, I’ll be using it all the time.

The app will not add a session to your phone’s calendar (this has been a feature in previous years). Within the app, you cannot add multiple sessions occurring at the same time block- only one session is allowed.

We all know that sometimes sessions don’t end up being what you thought they would be so you want to be prepared to quickly bolt to an alternate or second alternate session. That’s why you would want the ability to save multiple things occurring at the same time.

I’d also like to be able to use the app and access the schedule without the requirement of logging into my UC account. It keeps logging me out and if I didn’t have it written down with me, I wouldn’t be able to log back in.
