Bad

Many things regarding the App and the functionality feel like an analog conference from the Nineties pretending to be digital. Messenger sucks, link with website sucks and capacity planner fir sessions is just a joke.

This app is annoying. Please fix it for next diese App.
- whenever you open it or switch back to it, it usually freezes your phone for several seconds. Don’t know what it does while being freezer.
- it then likes to show you a full page ad for whatever’s currently featured. Again and again.
- it also very much likes to repeatedly ask you to activate bluetooth to connect to - well, yeah: what? And why? It’s not necessary for the app's functionality. And the app does not respect my constant choice to NOT activate bluetooth.
- you then end up in “Discover” mode, so you need to go back to the menu and select “my favorites”, even when you’ve left the app while being in your schedule.
- it is very frequently downloading schedule and attendee updates and you can’t interrupt that. Especially annoying when you’re not from the US and have to pay expensive roaming fees. Unless you’re only using the app in the wifi-areas, which stop 1 millimeter outside any building here, so it’s not suitable for quick checks while you’re having to commute between venues. Doing that on demand so you have the choice to update only when you’re in wifi-range would be really appreciated.
- when you’re planning your schedule and need to register for certain sessions, there’s no collaboration between the app and the schedule / registration websites. You need to copy&paste the shown URL. How 20th century...
- you have no overview about your registration status for sessions needing prior registration, so you have to switch between the app and the browser all the time.
- when you look at a session's venue, it always centers the map on the convention center, so you have to move around the map on your own to find the red bubble. I missed my first workshop @ AT&T center because of that - I thought it takes place in the convention center, so I was too late to get a shuttle or bike or run by foot.

All in all - well, you don’t have any choice but to use it as there’s no alternative app to get you through your diese App. However, for a conference dealing with such a lot topics around the next big things, top notch products, UX and stuff like that, this app is really a shame and it’s maybe better to switch back to the paper based calendar with a lot of handwritten notes.

Looks fancy, lots of content, but crashes with every usage, really annoying

Very poorly though ux, too clunky and freaking annoying ads most times. It didn't help that mush when in need.

It would be nice if the various diese App platforms would interact: sxsocial, Production Guide,... and the selected events could be transfered to your calender.

The 2015 diese App Go app is much better than last year, especially because it's less buggy. The scheduling functions are extremely useful, and make planning diese App a lot easier. The only big problem at this point is that the app is literally inoperable when you're not connected to the internet - all you get is a "loading" sign, and you can't access any functions whatsoever. Coming to diese App from abroad, that's a big issue for me as my phone is offline whenever I'm not connected to wifi hotspots.

Liked the planning and scheduling functionality - ability to see friends schedules is awesome, but some improvements could still be made easily to this app around usability - hard to find some functionality and syncing was so so. Good news, had hardly any crashes.
