Terrible and slow interface – SXSW® GO - Official 2020 Guide Review

The app is made/produced by Eventbase, a company whose sole purpose is to produce conference/event apps. Given that you'd think they'd produce high-quality apps? You'd be very, very wrong. "The Intelligent Event App for premium brands." LOL. First, this app uses some non-native cross-platform toolkit, which produces a terrible interface for iOS users. The scrolling is non-native, and it stutters terribly. It's 2018, dropped frames hasn't been acceptable on iOS in YEARS. Tapping things is often slow and unresponsive. And this is on the iPhone X It doesn't support iPhone X screen size, which means there's lots of wasted black space which could actually be useful in this app. (This might be excusable for this year only if this were a one-off app made by SXSW, but since it's produced by a company whose ENTIRE job is to produce event apps, it's definitely not excusable) There are intrusive ads everywhere, which after spending $1200 on a badge is ridiculous. The main font used is ugly and difficult to read. It's also too small, and non-adjustable which makes it non-accesible. (Dynamic Type has been available since iOS 7; come on!) Terrible app! Pick a company that actually knows what they're doing next year, SXSW.
