ConferenceGuide 1.1b1 for Android
Dec 20th
ConferenceGuide 1.1b1 for Android has just be published to Android Market. The new features are the same as those in the 1.1 version for the iPhone:
- Conference search
- Speaker search
- Schedule search
- Starred session view for helping you plan which sessions to attend (inspired by the Google I/O 2009 app)
During the last few weeks we have also added three new conferences to the database: Jfokus, DagsVara, and Macworld (schedule not added yet).
ConferenceGuide 1.1b1 is a first beta and has some UI glitches related to automatically expanding the schedule’s time slots. I will have a fix for that after the holidays. The rest of the app should work properly, but let me know if you discover any issues.
Here is a clickable QR-code for downloading the app from Android Market:

This is an intermediate release. The next major release will be in sync with the iPhone app that has been submitted to Apple’s approval process. For an overview of what will be new in that release, see the screencast.
New release of the Android app
Nov 16th
I have published a new release (0.3.1) of Conference Guide for Android. It contains two minor tweaks:
- The schedule automatically jumps to the current timeslot
- Time strings are now localized
Hopefully I will be able to add “starred” sessions for planning your conference schedule by tomorrow.

Conference Guide for Android is now available (free) on Android Market! Here are two screenshots of what the app looks like:


If you are viewing this page on an Android device, you can click this link [1] to download the app from the market. Here is a QR Code of the same link:

Although the Android Market homepage lists the most popular applications, it currently does not allow you to browse all applications in the market. There are a few unofficial web sites that allow you to do that though, like this one.
