Conference4me for Android
Really nice
People list hard to search and displays badly || I don't see chat, or a way to create a profile, so that when I write feedback, the sister can see it was me (sic).
Basic Functionality, could have better features like links to abstracts and titles.
Good
Good apps
Elaborate....
I am organizing a large conference and as much as I like the idea of the app it took me a number of working days to get all material in the format that is needed to the developers. Good idea but it needs more work from the compatibility side - they could even raise the prices a bit and do more of the work themselves. Plus the interface need people to like the retro look...
Ugly interface and slow to start. Why do I have to start a conference? This takes time and sometimes the app hangs upon reopening
This app is painful to use. Period.
Rating seems to be restricted to a public rating or survey for the conf organizers. I need to rate a paper and store the information locally for my own usage. At least the function does not appear for my conference.
Did an okay job until it downloaded a conference schedule update that shifted all my "My Agenda" sessions to the wrong ones.
I found this pretty easy to use. Loading in my conference was just a couple clicks. The interface isn't cluttered with a bunch of crap I don't want to see. I guess it could have more features but I like it being simple
I used it a lot during the conference, but I was frustrated not to find references from people to posters.
This app is nice but it would be better if it had a search function for author names and a global function for search within all days, not only day by day. Also, organizers promised to upload city guide info and I could not find it.
Conference update completely changed my saved schedule.
Can't select individual talks. Constantly resets to the start of the first day.
Best conference app I've used so far! Much better organization and more intuitive than other apps.
Nice idea and good calender functions but still really buggy rating and updating system
(great team, fixed my android5 prblm)
(pls fix it and i'll come back to add stars)
Elaborate....
Good apps
Would also be great to be able to take notes. Either inside the App, or to export title and date of the talk to other note-taking app.
Why does it require permission to take videos and photos (without my permission?). Good on 10 inch tablet.
nice and useful
HTC one, works well and is quite helpful. Downside is lack of search functionality, impossible to search by author name or paper name, keyword search of course would be a bonus. Current author list is not organised by name, at least that would have helped
Great app!
Very useful app, but seems like app is not compatible with JB, so can't use it on nexus 7. It would be even more awesome on 7' screen. 5* otherwise
This application more than suited our needs for a large conference, which was comprised of several parallel tracks and many listings. The developers were very responsive to questions and suggestions for improvement, implementing almost all of our suggestions that would apply to generic conferences, and adding new features that were very useful. Initially, our users had a few comments and were sometimes confused by the interface, but these aspects have been improved greatly as well, and I don't think a single user came away from using the application with a negative impression. The permissions required for installation are now the bare minimum as well. If you have a conference in CERN's Indico instance, you should get in touch with the developers to sync your agenda and give this app a try.
Great app! Thanks!
...at least on my Nexus S.
It's stable and it does the job, but its interface is pretty poor (and does not conform to the Android Design Guidelines). I had some difficulty using it at CHEP 2012. Could use a UI redesign/rethink.
