My NASPA for Pc

Worked perfectly for me throughout the conference.

NASPA went with a new app provider this year, but this app is not suitable for an event of this magnitude. First, the schedule interface is terrible. There is no way to search within the schedule and when you exit out of the schedule and back into it, instead of remembering your place or automatically scrolling to the current time, it defaults to the beginning again. The filtering feature behavior is incredibly tedious. If I want to only see sessions tagged with a certain filter, I have to toggle off 20 other filters one at a time. Why isn’t there a “select none” option? I gave up using the filters. On the first day, the app started glitching for a lot of attendees. So much so that they ran out of printed booklets. The sessions I had added to the “the app agenda” function started to disappear and random sessions would appear instead. The info booth explained the SocioLab servers had become overloaded, which begs the question as to why they hadn’t prepared for the digital traffic a 7000+ attendee event would bring. On the second day, the “the app agenda” function seems to be working again, however I can’t add new sessions to it. The app will hang forever with the spinning wheel of death and then crash when I try to add a session to the app agenda. I’ve resorted to deleting the app and reinstalling. I have never experienced this much bugginess in a conference app.

I’m here for NASPA 2019 and have had the buggiest experience with this app. I went without the book because I was confident in using the app, but I can’t even see who’s presenting each session unless it’s a sponsored one. It’s making the app conference planning very difficult and I hope that you all fix these issues for next year. It’s frustrating because now I have to get a book to confirm which sessions will be most useful to me and the app work. The 2018 app worked much better in the app opinion.

This is a downgrade from the Guidebook built app. I had events inserted on the app agenda randomly that completely messed up the app schedule. Clunky and the fact you can’t have it do automatic updates is crazy. Needs to improve drastically before Austin conference.
