New York Comic Con Hack 9.0.0 + Redeem Codes

1 star for showing content and 1 star for working better than the website. Some key features one expects as a bare minimum of an event app are sorely missing though.

No default iOS share means one cannot share/copy links to panels (only can either post to facebook or send an email, neither of which are useful at this point). No way to map out favorites on calendar view. Filtering isn’t really thought through.

This app does what it's supposed to do while attending comic con. But the constant Bluetooth and beacon tracking, which pinpoints your exact location and walking pace for the event planners, rapidly drains the battery at little too fast over a 5 to 6 hour period with just minor phone checks. I attended from 11am to 6pm and my battery went down to 50% when it normally goes down about 20% during a regular workday. I do not recommend this app due because of the battery issue, and definitely recommend deleting it after your walk out door of the event.

I’ve never been able to use this app to comment on whether it’s helpful or not at the actual show. The whole place is such a dead zone that you’re lucky if you can even connect to their wifi.

Broken reservation system, broken links, spammy notifications that you can’t turn off without turning off the ones you actually need, apps just as phoned in as the convention

Waited in the reservations queue for 20 min, only to read my number didn’t through. And sent to the back of the line

I love going to NYCC each year, and I like the organizers. Buuuut... the app is rubbish. Too many unnecessary features, while the basics don't work. The core of this app should be the map, the schedule, and the favorites; the basic things that help me get around the show.
The schedule works.
The maps are tiny static images. I can't zoom in close enough to read the writing!
I saved a bunch of favorites on the website. When I successfully imported my schedule, the favorites didn't come with them. I could spend the extra time saving them each again in the app, but I'm not going to. And after I save them, they're just an alphabetical list. I can't filter or even sort by location! What I WANT is a Google-style map of the show floor with all my favorites on it. Each year, this app fails to deliver.
Developers: Stop focusing on frivolous extras like bluetooth-something-or-other and social nonsense, and focus on the core features. GIVE ME A GOOD MAP!

The app is absolutely terrible. It does not import from the website even though it claims it does. It won’t let you update your schedule manually and add events so there is no point in using it at all (an excel sheet works better). In addition to this the maps are small static images that you can barely read. It uses a ton of battery and your location but it can’t have a live map? The event is massive and a live map with a guide to the booth you want to go to would not be that hard and would be very very useful. Even a map that updates with your favorites would be great. I am extremely disappointed with NYCC on this one. This needs to be improved or even downloading it is not worth it. Waste of space and a waste of data. If I could give a 0 I would.

This App really doesn’t work and for an even so big you’d think they’d take a little time to make one that works. I can’t sync my schedule, it’s a week before the event and there are still entire sections on it with NO information or anything. It differs completely from your account on the computer and nothing matches up.

The second largest comic con some would argue and they can’t even get a team to make an app that works? Absolute laziness on the behalf of their creative team. This app is useless and you mine as well make your own list of exhibitors, artists, etc. that you want to see and go to on your own word document, print it out and go by that because this app is useless for all of that.

Simply amazing. 10x better than the old app. I love the app because of its quick response time, easy navigation, the UI isn't cluttered but what thing that seems to be back that was a problem in the previous app is the duplicate guest/exhibitor names. Why are they in more than one category? And when I add one from my favorite if I see that exhibitor or artist in another category it should automatically be ticked that's it's in my favorites already. Please bring the My Show Planner back. The customizable agendas were great.

It won’t let you log in with any of the several logins they make you create to be a part of their incredibly convoluted system. Instead it directs you to log in with FB. To access or change your reservations, you have to trigger an email through a web form that resets and kicks you out while you try to check your email.

6 (unsuccessful) tries later I’m here leaving a review to maybe save someone else some time and apologize to some other fan for taking up a reserved spot in a panel I cannot attend but also cannot cancel.
