Guidebook

Every time I open the app, it pops up an "updating" modal that cannot be dismissed or cancelled. It also never finishes. I have to delete and redownload the current guide each time. Updating needs to be optional, since connections can be spotty in big cons. It wants alarm permission (and refuses to add things to my schedule without it), even though I set no alarms for any of my events. Chugs battery in the background. Aside from these glaring bugs, it's a well-designed app with a good UI.

I use this every year. It not only lets me set my schedule, it sends reminders (if you want that). The panelists can pre-load slides or handouts they want you to have, leave notes later on a question they had to look up and get back to us. So many great ways to look up panels by name, guest, subject...love it. the only thing I wish is that it would save your preference for reminders. i never want you to remind me of an upcoming event, but I have to tell you that every time I schedule a panel.

I only use this app maybe once or twice a year to look for the same Anime convention guidebooks and almost every year, this app never seems to find them on the first try. Today I kept refreshing and the unknown error message pops up, so I had to clean the cache and apparently log out of my account? Only then did the guide I was trying to find finally pop up. I don't know if there's issues with the code involving an account being logged in and not being able to refresh after connecting to WiFi
