ARVO 2013

This app is much better than the clunker released in previous years The download and install work well the search functions are decent and the layout is ok I serves well as an electronic program book BUT cant import schedules previously created online and cant add posters to your schedule At least I could not figure out how     Almost good

I doubt this app was developed in consultation with actual users Have to go through several screens to get details on a presentation Each one has to be individually added to your schedule and thats only if you are in the right view Then forming a schedule and seeing it is another several screens Terribly slow to go around Dont be fooled by the pretty screenshots Actual use is terrible The producers watch too much tv Icons for social apps and for finding stuff near me Basic functionality for making a schedule and using it to improve the conference flow is bad Screens are disorganized and inconsistent surprisingly even worse that the already terrible online planner It may work to find the abstract of something you already know and are interested in reading the text but as a general planner it is a big failure Nicer icons than last year Usability is notably worse Still to be determined how poorly it works under a stressed wifi system as we usually have at arvo How much is arvo paying for this work Are there really no companies that can do a decent planner I love having an ipad programplanner but this one is worse than having none because it costs all of us and prevents someone else from doing a decent one     Really poor
