GSA Events

The app worked better this year and was much more useful. I had no issues with connectivity

The layout of the app is good, but I had major issues loading parts of the app, especially “My schedule.” It would take a very long time to initially load, frequently freeze once it did load, and sometimes totally crash. I spent a significant amount of time waiting for the schedule to load and restarting the app multiple times. This made it challenging and very time consuming to find session locations. I do not believe the issues were related to my phone as some of my colleagues experienced the same issues.

There were times when it was frustrating using this app, it would not load the events properly. Or continually sign you out and require the login Access key that is conveniently tucked away in an email. One suggestion would be to make the notations of rooms clearer. It was very difficult to figure out that “M” meant the JW Marriot, on the first day of the conference. However, the app was great for bookmark/starring events.
