Since APS DPP has decided to go paperless, this app is the only thorough way of navigating the meeting. However when selecting talks from the schedule, it is impossible to read the entire abstract. The text field is way too low on the screen and the scroll doesn’t work.
Works great, helps keep track of talks in diff sessions
This app works great and has been an effective replacement for the abstract book, though getting used to it is difficult for many. The name of the app has apparently made it hard for people to find in the App Store. Occasional bugs with loading the program information but I haven’t had that problem. When looking for colleagues or acquaintances, you do need to spell their names correctly, it won’t give you any guesses close to what you look for.
March meeting 2022. I’m still having the same issues as the last time I used this. Nearly every time I open the app it spends a very long time— 10 to 20 minutes —updating before I can use it. So then I pull out my laptop and have to deal with the terrible internet connection in convention centers
If they keep having the same issues they should stop advertising the app it takes 10 minutes to load and then all login attempts fail… I wish I could give this a 0star
the program setup was extremely accessible and made navigating talks efficient. the only improvement i would hope for is search capabilities allowing viewing specifics of authors or sessions.
Even the APS website suggests you delete and re-install if the app doesn’t work, it’s nice to see we’re doing the electronic equivalent of “fixing” something by turning it off and on again in 2023
This app is horrible for low vision individuals like myself as it does not support the large text feature offered by IOS. I tend to get severe eye irritation upon using it for too long. It is a disgrace that an organization like APS fails to design an accessible app for low-vision members.
