Dear Teresa,
UCF has used Guidebook<https://guidebook.com/event-apps/>. It did work on Android and iOS. Our event coordinators found it easy to upload the conference schedule, room assignment with map, and get feedback. Our attendee also thought it was a nice touch. We used the free version.

I hope this helps.
Thanks

I don't know if this would be any good, but the people who organized Accessibility Camp Toronto used an app called "Guidebook". I don't know if there is an android version, but I would think there was.

Myself personally, I found it a bit clumsy because I had to keep dragging my finger around the screen rather than flicking, but other than that, for the limited use I made of it to read session schedules, it worked ok. It wasn't awesome, but maybe that was due to user error.

A colleague of mine who regularly organizes conferences asked me if anyone can suggest a good app (preferably multi-platform) for serving conference schedules and information to participants - and is, of course, accessible!  He has been using Twoppy, has not been able to acquire accessibility info from most of the other vendors he has contacted, and would like to know if he should stay with Twoppy or attempt a switch.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can offer,
Teresa
