SPIE Conferences

Launch, sign in, select event, crash. Waste of time. (Update: tech staff is aware, awaiting Apple approval of app update.)

I was truly hoping I could rely on this app while attending SPIE DSS, but had to rely on hard-copy of technical program to recover paper identification ID using author names since session is not included in description, I generally gave up after repeated app crashes. A few more ideas: show canceled talks through pop-up notifications if in "My schedule", reminders of next talk and location (useful for those hoping between rooms), update program as often as possible (still showing wrong exhibition hours, for example). Use location-awareness for large exhibition halls. Should allow you to sync to your spie.org "My schedule" more easily, after initial login syncing seems disabled. Lots of potential, I hope some of these ideas can be implemented before I attend a new show.

Never been able to log in on my iPhone. The submit or enter button I think hide behind the leet board and the key board enter does not work

I downloaded the SPIE app for Photonics West and was very impressed at how useful it was in finding information, planning booth visits and viewing the event schedule. Also helped in connecting with other attendees. Will definitely use the app in planning future conferences!

Wow the app has really changed and is so much better. Thanks for all the bug fixes! And how cool to meet the developer at Photonics West so we could have a real conversation about functionality.

I tried searching for a talk I was referred to by putting words I knew were in the talk’s title in the search bar. Nothing useful came up.

Love the SPIE conferences as always. Would strongly recommend this app if you attend their events.

The app worked all week as I was preparing for Optics & Photonics in San Diego. Then I updated my iOS on Saturday and next time I tried to run SPIE it crashes. I know you’re frantically bug hunting. Good luck.

The app crashes as soon as I try to select the conference. Reinstall hasn’t fixed the issue.

Day before Optics and Photonics everything was great, but some new update to like or not ( what a stupid idea for science conference) it is crashing constantly. I had created a schedule for all presentations I wanted to attend and this morning all gone. Using the bulky printed program is a nightmare. Why are you making this app if it doesn't work when it is needed! Very disappointed
