Appmuse

Apart from the crappy UX, messed up dates and times after midnight, it crashes a lot, then randomly signs you out and gives you login errors when you try to get back in. I am using the saved password which then works fine a few hours later. Needs Work!! Show more

Your app is awful. Crashes every time I open it. Cannot link wristband. Not easy to use to follow. We are all making fun on it and the irony.

Still difficult to schedule a topics and sort through options.

The UX is so messed up on this app. Menu items are confusing: Schedule, Today, My Favorites seem to be versions of the same thing. Seeing just films or just bands is under Lists A-Z. You can filter by tags but not by venue, by date or by time. Sometimes the schedule shows my favorited items, sometimes not. Sometimes essential info runs off screen on my small phone. Events Nearby opens a “link my badge” window that is impossible to exit. It took me 4 days to find out there was a shuttle tracker. Two stars because it runs on both my iPad and my ancient iPhone. It would be better if you could rate 1st choice, 2nd choice, etc for events at same time, or place events on the map so you could plan things near each other. But Schedule functions well (I like the “free time” feature when there’s a gap in schedule). With all the interactive and tech focus of SXSW the app should really work better than this. Show more

Please add date as a proper filter.

You can no longer select the type of event (e.g. film screening) easily from the filter. You can go in and select every single film category and get the same thing. You can no longer filter by venue. Further, each screen in Alamo is listed as a unique venue, so if you just navigate to a specific venue schedule you have to view each screen in isolation. As a local, I typically purchase a film wristband and attend whatever’s at Alamo South Lamar. An ideal user flow is, open app, filter by venue, then filter by date, then go through the line up to determine the preferred films for the day. What used to be an easy process now requires me to copy paste and reorganize info from the app to get a complete picture of options at any given time. Show more

I fux wit it

When I try to look at my saved events, it crashes. And when I try to reopen it, it immediately crashes.

...is this App. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great when it works - up to the minute information about the schedule, suggestions about what conferences to attend, up to the minute line “status” But it frustrating to use a frustrating amount of the time, specially for a conference that is supposed to be for interactives, I’d expect better execution! Scrolling the list is constantly wonky, going into a detail page and then back to the list you loose your place, or events show up multiple times - creating an infinite scroll affect. If you’re playing audio in the app, the layering makes some of it unusable. When loading detail pages sometimes it crashes out within the app and the detail page goes away and returns me back to the start of the app, loosing my place and forcing me to search again. The express pass is a nice idea, but I only got it to work once after being there for a week and trying at 9am the day prior as instructed. Easier filtering would be nice - maybe some way to scan the “hotter” discussions than the weaker ones. You’re often deciding between a dozen sessions at the same time that you want to attend - would be great if there was a way to compare them with some metadata to help aid in decision making Show more

My favorite release of the SXSW app. This is my first 5 star review. Really enjoy the sxexpress reservation feature. Also daily updates working more reliably.

I’d really do 3.75 if I could, but either way, it’s still much more workable. Debatably looks better to boot.

Doesn’t give any dates at all. Not helpful.

I feel like the scheduling aspect could be a little more intuitive but I used it all day, every day. Better than trying to deal with a brochure. Maybe this isn’t an app issue but I didn’t find the express invites to be easy to understand or use. Show more

The primary customer user journey is very poorly implemented and rather than advance that, there are more gimmicky features like the chatbot.

While modestly useful, the power drain is annoying. And the app doesn’t offer much more than simply using the site.

Content organization is still confusing and app is buggy. It isn’t properly syncing my favorites from my tablet—only some of them, so I don’t have a complete schedule with me. The list of events is also unwieldy and difficult to scan six lines at a time—it doesn’t scale for the growth of the content. Then it reloads every time a schedule update completes, losing my place! Links with more info for event descriptions don’t actually like anywhere, and the full-page recommendations cards are slow to load and a pain to scroll through. After all these years, why is this app still so problematic? Show more

Filtering works reasonably well, but the initial registration process is much much harder than it needs to be. Not nearly as good as other conference apps like qualtrics X4.

Too convoluted. At least this year you can see the go back navigation.

Every year it’s buggy

The app has tried to make a lot of data available, which is great but in the process user experience has taken a dive. The networking section for example does not save the interests/hashtags or shows recommendations. Browsing profiles is tedious and it keeps going all the way to the beginning. Show more
