SPIE Conferences

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

Well here I am at Optics and Photonics 2019 and the SPIE conf app crashes out of the gates - just see the splash screen and nothing else before it returns you to your desktop. This is version 7.7.2 on iOS 12.4. Marvelous.

The concept is great. Certainly makes scheduling easier. App is flaky, but this might be due to bad conference data files. At my current conference and I think another it would crash when I try to open the events section where the conferences are taking a good half dozen tries to get it to load. Once I get it, app works ok. It would be helpful to show authors, or at least the presenter name under each paper title instead of having to click through the tabs at the top of the page. Also, talks should all be listed chronologically in the “today” section, not in conference order.

I just updated to the version of August 2018. It does not ever start - it just spins endlessly. Previous versions work well. I have an iPhone 7 with latest iOS.
