Neuroscience 2014 for Android
Syncing failed on multiple occasions, and even ended up overwriting the schedule I created online. Also, I wish a local copy of the entire schedule could be available, since network connectivity at the event was poor, exacerbating the syncing issues.
It's very informative with out the assumption that those fairly new to the field will not mind getting lost in jargon. I find it useful a lot in airplane mode.
This is truly a humongous conference, I mean >30,000 people. This app is good and gets the job done, sometimes slow but for something that you are going to use for 4-5 days is ok
Every time I click an icon to route away from the app's homepage (search by theme, day etc.), it reboots the app. Please help, I was planning on relying on this app at the conference and specifically indicated I didn't want daily paper booklets this year... but now it seems I'm in a bind.
A new registration is required for this app. The existing logon account for SfN website does not apply to this one. The features I wish to add include (1) remember where I was when I log on again, and (2) change the color of the text that I already read.
After all these years, and with so expensive fees to attend the meeting, they are still struggling to make a simple app....
Saves time when youre planning your schedule
Freezes, doesn't go back to where you were when it opens again.
Very nice features added this year. BUT my icv file for Calendar came in 1 hour off! The conference and I are both in Eastern time zone.
Makes it easy to schedule
good
I like the app, the offline mode is nice (specially since the network is not reliable at SfN). It would be nice to add a feature that allows you to order your itinerary for the poster sessions by poster number. So you don't have to walk back and forth in the hall.
Whether it's the apps fault or the servers, having the app in continual crash mode sucks when I need my afternoon schedule.
I cant login to synch schedules nut Much better than last year though.
App doesn't let me login, it is complaining that my date/time settings are wrong but they are already set to automatic. need to just let us use our current date/time settings.
by U####:
Despite the fact this app had all abstracts built in (good thing- allowed me to browse in airplane mode on my way to conference), it managed to draw more than 300MB over 4 days of the conference (Unacceptable). Also: did not hold place well. If time of poster is known, show it in schedule near timeslot of presenter being there.
