Gen Con 17+

The digital map was very helpful but the fact that you can’t just get digital event tickets is silly. Purchasing a ticket on the app, waiting 4hrs and in line to get a piece of paper with a barcode on it is just a waste.

If the app store is to be believed, this app was updated yesterday. I downloaded this update. Yet when I open the app I get nothing but an endless swirling star and no actual connection to any Gen Con information.

It does not even fit my iPad screen. Are there actual developers involved in this process?

I am not even asking for much. I would just like to have maps of the Convention Centers and a list of events. I don’t even have to have a way to contact my fellow attendees, which this app advertises, although that would be nice, or a way to see all my events, which would be the next basic level of functionality.

Gen Con has 70,000+ attendees. It’s a major event. WHY ON EARTH is there no money spent on an app in this day and age?!

I’d also like to know why the most recent review of this app was three years ago. Has no one opened this app since then??

This is a map of an event that is barely usable. You have to zoom in to see what is where, but you will not find anything without using the search function because the lag is strong, even on the most recent phones.

The event search defaults to showing you things that have already happened unless you filter them out. In what world would I ever want to see events that have already happened that I can’t go to?

There’s again no real way to find what you’re looking for unless you search.

To make it worse, if you try to go from events back to map, it glitches out and the only way to fix it is to hard restart the whole app. Have had to do this at least 10-20 times per day while at the con.

Overall, it’s one of the worst convention apps I’ve ever used.
