✓ Night mode requestPlease make a night/dark mode for your app. almost every single application has this option available so a lot of people would appreciate it alot..Version: 7.19.2
✓ Love this thing. Great at KatsuconI like this so much that I'm taking time to review it. I'm currently at Katsucon which has tons of events that I want to go to. This app has a nice feature where I can bookmark everything I want to go to and then have it remind me so I have time to get in line and not miss it. It also has lots of other info that Katsucon provided them in digital form, but I'm mainly using the app to quickly plan a schedule for myself. Very useful..Version: 3.5.6
✓ Great All use appFor any and all events you are going to that use guidebook it works out well and it is at NO cost to you which is even more convinient.Version: 7.12.2
✓ Ready set start new tools and tips to bring clients inThis session was very helpful. It was well presented with practical, easy to execute tools and great tips..Version: 7.11.1
✓ Outside the boxA creative original thinker. What would nhappen to the social problems by asking what is working? The current model is great at putting out fires. We are beginning to concentrate on prevention.Version: 7.10.1
✓ Nice app BUT..Where's the 2012 Supanova schedule for Perth???.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Why the constant reloading??First used this for Too Many Games last year and was a lovely sidekick to have! Now using it for Acen incoming buuut was reminded why I s carry a booklet around. Why does it CONSTANTLY reload so much?? I'm just trying to plan out my day(s) but it knocks me back to the start of a day. Gotta update this already...Version: 7.19.1
✓ Nice, but one suggestion:This is a neat little app and I'm looking forward to using it at NDK but one ability I really wish it had is to be able to make your own task and set a time frame so it would show up under the "my schedule" area instead of having to juggle between "my schedule" and the "things to do list". This would make it much more convenient for us staffers, attendees too probably..Version: 2.0.1
✓ What happened?Had some old guides that I had downloaded to my account, now I see nothing but the most recent, what happened to all the rest?.Version: 7.21.0
✓ Very helpful!Just found out about this app, so I've only used it to help me plan my schedule for one event (Anime Expo 2014) but it had everything about the event on there, which was amazingly helpful and convenient! I instantly loved this app, can't recommend it enough for upcoming events you might attend..Version: 3.2.9
✓ Awesome appUsed this at PAX East 2012 and it worked really well. I loved being able to see the schedule of the panels and what-not without having to dig through my bag for the full schedule. Plus, when times were changed or things got cancelled, I had the updated schedule on my phone. Really nice app!.Version: 1.6.3
✓ One of the bestI used this app at MineCon 2013. It was my first con and the app correctly guided me to where I needed to go. You can choose how early you want the alert for the event, and the notification in the lock screen even tells you what room the event is! After using GuideBook at Minecon 2013, I see why this app has 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Version: 3.0
✓ Nice, but I wish that...Like another reviewer here, I think that this app is really useful and has a lot of potential, but I do wish that you could narrow down by Location. I thought the purpose of this app was to find through Guidebook something interesting that's going on, in which case you should be able to narrow down by location. But if the purpose is just to find a schedule for an event that you already know is happening then it is great as is. Lovely design..Version: 2.2.5
✓ Great AppVery useful for conventions. I don't need to rely on my map or program at all now and I don't forget to go to panels I wanted to visit. The only thing that I'd recommend is a clear way to delete a guide. I downloaded the wrong one and now I can't get rid of it..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Does what it says, easy, nice & clean appTitle pretty much says it. Very easy to navigate & use, not a lot of bells & whistles but everything you need. Plus, guidebot is cute (more guidebot!) Could see a lot of folks using this, makes trade shows easy to navigate. Many thanks!.Version: 1.6.4
✓ Cannot add non convention activitiesThe app is awesome for the actual convention events, locations and times. I am easily able to add these to my schedule. When I open my schedule and click the +, I am unable to add an event of my own, even though I click save. I cannot get it to show up on my schedule..Version: 7.8.2
✓ Pretty goodBy far the easiest was to app an expo or conference and great features for the end user too.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Very good but needs two major tweaksReally good app. However, (1) make "My Schedule" sync across all apps. Ridiculous to have to enter schedule 2x (iPad and iPad mini). (2) When you enter an event on your schedule on a multi-day event, app should take you back to the day you are on, not the 1st day of the event. A tad frustrating but overall really good app..Version: 3.1
✓ Fantastic if organizers put in the effortI have only used the app for one event. I guess it's usefulness would depend on how well organizers provided details and updates, but my event had the schedule implemented perfectly and I loved it. I was a little surprised it drew 7.5MB of data over three days. I had already downloaded the schedule ahead of my event, but I allowed it to use data so I could be sure to get all the updates to the schedule. I did reference the app often to figure out what I wanted to do next, and it would always tell me if anything had changed, which was amazing (our convention had a few cancellations last minute). But the changes I got seemed like they could be done by syncing text only so I'm not sure what the big data-draw was. That's the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5..Version: 3.5.12
✓ Best thing to happen to conventions since cosplayI would feel lost without this app. I used to make schedules by hand or computer until I found conventionist (that's what guidebook used to be called). Now with guidebook, It's super easy to not only plan your schedule ahead but also to figure things out on the fly. Using the maps for example of you get lost, or finding somewhere to eat, or stayin updated with breaking announcements or news from the convention. My favorite feature is how you can view the schedule and then add events from it to "my schedule", so that you only see what you want to, and then you can get updates or reminders on your mobile device in case you forget something..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Great app!I love this app! It started being good to deserved as an great guidebook app. Needs to be most updates. Keep that up going!.Version: 2.2.6
✓ GoodShould be able to sync your LinkedIn account so you can see who you know from your network is at the event..Version: 7.7.1
✓ Lacks Apple Watch SupportOverall a decent app. I do wish it supported Apple Watch, however. So many apps support the watch now, especially productivity apps. It would be a great convenience if the notifications for “my schedule” popped up, or I could pull “my schedule “ up and scroll through it without having to dig my phone out of my pocket. I’m usually juggling handouts, tote bags, etc. at conferences in addition to my backpack with all my electronic needs. The additional convenience of watch support would be great!.Version: 6.7.2
✓ Better than a printed guide, but also limited by themThis app is great for scheduling which events at a convention you plan to attend, and for looking up descriptions of those events with a single tap. But most cons' guides are otherwise just scans of their paper guidebooks - you can look up a list of all the exhibitors in the dealers room, but most of them have no description (because there's no space for them in the printed guide and the digital version apparently wasn't worth their bother) and the app can't point out where their booth is in the dealers room because the map is just a plain image. It seems obvious that you should be able to add your own custom events to your "My Schedule", but instead there's just a "To Do" list whose entries don't appear in your schedule, or even have reminder alerts..Version: 1.6.4
✓ Amazing App!One of the best apps I’ve seen on here and It is extremely helpful. Especially since I’m landing schedule for San Japan as well..Version: 7.10.1
✓ Better then I expectedI wasn't expecting much, maybe a few scans of the guidebook. Instead there were descriptions, locations, maps, and nearly everything. I hop more Cons pick this up because it's more convenient and environmentally friendly with the lack of paper waste. I can't wait to see how this app evolves!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ HelpfulIt's really helpful.Version: 3.5.6
✓ Great, for small screensI can see why it's so highly recommended for PAX, it's got all the important info in a straightforward interface. I would also like to see an iPad-optimized version though. A busy event like PAX East has a big schedule, and it'd be nice to be able to see more of it on the big screen..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Excellent medium for convention guidebooksThis is an excellent medium for conventions to provide electronic guidebooks, with sections for maps, schedules, and guests. The quality of the guides, of course, depends on the individual convention, of course; for instance, the BayCon guide inexcusably omits the names of panelists from meeting listings. The only weakness I’ve noticed so far in the app itself is that, while you can set a reminder for ten minutes before a meeting, you can’t set one for five minutes before, nor after the meeting..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great appIs a great app too use.Version: 3.1
✓ Great but…I like this app and all but… 1. As I’m scrolling through each day’s schedule, it constantly SMU suddenly scrolls back to the top of that day’s schedule causing me to have to scroll back down to where I was. Very annoying!!! 2. Does this app sync across devices?.Version: 7.18.10
✓ IndispensableThis was used by the organizers of Minecon2012 at Disney Paris. Loved that I could pull out my phone (with no connectivity) and see everything at a glance. No sorting through assorted paper itineraries and easy to make decisions with my son on which panels to attend with the flexibility to change plans on the fly..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Great app, recent update crash fixThis is a great app, especially for keeping track of your chosen schedule at a large event. I've had it for a few years now. Recent update was crashing at launch on iPhone 4s. Delete & reinstall fixes it..Version: 3.2.4
✓ Just what I was thinking aboutAs I said, I've been dreaming of a similar app. Being a medical professional, I can foresee this app grow in popularity. However it would be nice if it would be possible to search events by location and if possible a separate medical section!.Version: 2.2.1
✓ The Anime Convention's Best FriendGot this app back in 2011 for Otakon and I have been using it every year since. Guidebook is fantastic and makes your con panel experience much easier. I No longer have to carry large paper schedules, and whenever a panel time changes, you get a push notification. Also scheduling panels is so easy, just click add to schedule and you can set a time for it to remind you. Also it makes browsing convention programming much easier. Guidebook is definitely a must-have for any convention attendee!.Version: 2.2.6
✓ Good for conventionsGonna use this app for AICon 2013! App, don't fail me this weekend!!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Awesome to useThis app was awesome to use for our event. Having everything in one place and tailored made things seamless..Version: 7.8.0
✓ Well doneVery inspirational leadership discussion..Version: 7.10.1
✓ Great tool with a lot of room for improvementI’ve only used one guide so far and my comments may be off because there could be features missing that are school dependent. • no hyper local (beacon) support for campus location and guidance • need additional maps • need parent version if the focus is college tours • need list of potential auxiliary events (eg. volleyball game) with potential for colleges to give passes (free or purchases) within app • give food places ability to coordinate with colleges to offer reservations and make deals within app Good app with a lot of potential..Version: 7.11.1
✓ 100%I can’t believe how easy this app is to use! So great to fit my schedule in my pocket!.Version: 3.5.26
✓ PhenomenalI wish every event used this service - literally get excited when I see that they are using guidebook cause then I know it’s going to be easy to navigate.Version: 7.8.0
✓ GoodGood.Version: 7.8.0
