The Event App by EventsAIR 17+

Does not permit viewing and use in landscape mode on iPad which makes it impossible to use when using iPad attached to keyboard which is how I use my device at conference. Unless there is a way to do this that I haven’t located, if so it is quite hidden. Arrows for drop down details are also quite buggy and flicker and do not consistently open. Looks good and neatly organised but these issues get in the way of using it.

On paper this app is extremely good, it even has landscape support, but it has some glaring issues:

1. No visual feedback when pressing buttons. 2. Extremely slow sometimes - with big delay from button presses to the screen switching to what you selected. 3. Some items under “my program” aren’t under “program” for those who paid for specific items prior to the conference 4. The app bugs out and becomes unusable frequently requiring restarting the app. For example sometimes you get stuck on one item in programs and you can’t get out of it. These issues resolve when relaunching the app. 5. You have to scroll down to see the notifications button to see previous notifications. These things should be nearer the top.
6. There is no way to “sign up” for items within the program and no option to find out the number of people that have signed up for an item. The favourites feature could be improved to implement this

Otherwise, other than the occasional frustration, the app has been quite serviceable and I am impressed with the amount of features.

As pretty much everyone else has pointed out, the app is only available in portrait mode. Not very functional when using an iPad with attached keyboard. My next thought was to use an Apple Pencil but that was no good either - there’s no way of marking up pages, scrolling, or enlarging content. When enlarging the venue map (the only page you CAN enlarge), the print was blurry and difficult to read. The drop down buttons don’t work properly either. The app is a great idea but needs a lot more work for it to function effectively
