1. The AWS Events app is your companion in planning and navigating AWS Summits and featured events like re:Invent and re:Inforce.
1. You have to use this for reinvent, but other than that I'd never download this mess of an app.Difficult to view so much information on a phone screen, but there's no choice because the agenda is no longer available on the site.
2. I often found myself going back to the website for that information.About 60% of the time I tap the "planner" tab, I get a message saying the "session catalog is unavailable at this time", which isn't great because the planner is by far the most important feature for me.
3. so essentially this app is useless and not worth the trouble.Why is this built to always need to be online? Why does it not remember filter settings? Halfway through the conference when internet dies I have no idea what is going on the rest of the day.
4. They've added a bunch of forced events to my calendar completely crowding out what I had chosen.it's mildly annoying to navigate, but even worse, after I had filled my calendar and picked out the sessions I wanted, it lost all of them and had no record that I was even registered for an event.
5. It doesn't seem to be storing my planner locally (said the server wasn't available at the start of the conference when I was trying to find the room for my bootcamp) and that's kind of weird.
6. Plus a ton of other super obvious problems.invaluable but incomplete slow and most tedious frequently has to completely reload often enough that I am always standing there waiting for it when I need it in a timely way.
7. There is no way to get a single grid view that shows all talks going on at each time in each location.
8. It takes a lot of taps to filter or view information.
9. UI looks good though 👍Have the developer's of this app ever been to a conference? Especially one like reinvent that is oversold so most sessions are full.
10. No information as to session size so we can figure out the chances of getting into a session if we're on wait-list.
11. With all of AWS's magic cdn endpoint type solutions you would think they could install a local cache at events, but no... Very disappointing advert for such a big IT company.Just dreadful.
