ConDroyd, my new ALA 2011 schedule app for Android

Jan 03, 2011 20:52

ConDroyd is a FREE Anime Los Angeles (ALA) 2011 schedule app for Android phones & tablets that I wrote. It includes the latest published schedule and all the cosplay gatherings posted on cosplay.com. It lets you star your must-attend events, and then you can filter to display just those events. You can also enable reminders for your starred events ( Read more... )

Downloaded - thanks! :)

Con pocket-program app - this looks like it will be more convenient than those printed pieces of paper I keep misplacing!

Helpful tip: if one is at the con, one may need to download this app or any up-to-dates by stepping outside the hotel, as Verizon service is apparently still notoriously spotty inside the LAX Marriott.

Thanks! If you have any suggestions/bug reports/feedback after using the app at con, please let me know.

I'm using a G1 that can only go up to 1.6, is this compatible? It wasn't able to find the app nor download it directly from the site.

Sorry, it's compatible with Android 2.1 and later only. I'll add that info to the website.

Darn. Well, if I ever get a newer Android, I'll hope to try it out.

Thanks for this great app. It's really helping me plan my con days.
In fact, I talked about it on my podcast :)

You're very welcome! Please feel free to send me suggestions/feedback/bug reports after using it at con.

Thank you for talking about it on your podcast!

Excellent app, especially nice to have the "starred" filtering. I found it very helpful! Thanks a lot! :D

Suggestions for possible future upgrades:

¤ A "search" function of some sort... with so much in the packed schedule, it is sometimes a bit tricky to find a particular cosplay gathering while scrolling through tons of stuff.

¤ A "notes" feature or something to add events not listed (e.g.: dinner plans, staff meetings and such - I am staff)

¤ A labled map of the function spaces!

¤ Option to toggle to see text in black on white. There are times where white on black text is more neighbor-friendly (dark rooms) but otherwise it is simply harder to read (I don't have optimally functioning eyes, and I'm not the only one. ^^)

Thank you for the suggestions! I will work on adding them into future versions as quickly as possible.
