Here's a run-down of the features of the AAAAI Annual Meeting app, and some tips and tricks to get the most of it.

How to Get the App: Download the 2024 AAAAI Annual Meeting app from the App Store or Play Store on your mobile device. Search AAAAI to find the app.

To login to the app, use the same username and password you would use to log into the AAAAI webstie.

Once downloaded, you can sync your Online Planner itinerary to the app by:

• Open the AAAAI Meetings app

• Open “Settings” (tap the gear icon at the top of the dashboard)

• Select "Multi Device Sync" from the list of settings options and tap "Additional Device”

• Enter your Online Planner/App account credentials when prompted and hit "Submit"

Once the app updates, your agenda will display in the app's "My Schedule" section, and any changes you make in the Online Planner or on your mobile device will be synced.

Quick Bar: Available at the bottom of every page, these icons take you back to frequently used content areas like the Home Page, Program, Presenters and Abstracts. You can also search the app with the Looking Glass icon!
Alert/Message Center: Access your "Friends" list, keep in touch with messages and alerts and manage your profile. Swipe right anywhere in the app to access the Message Center.

Dashboard: See your current Alerts, upcoming schedule, and app icons.
•    Refresh the app in the top right corner of the dashboard  

Settings: ( icon in top right corner) Set up your profile, sync multiple devices, email notes to yourself or others.
•    Set up your profile: Build a profile to connect with other attendees, share contact information, exchange messages, and even share schedules!

• Publishing your profile to the "Attendees" list is the best way to connect with other attendees using the app. If using multiple devices, enter your profile information identically on all devices, but only "Publish" the profile to the Attendee list from your primary device (see "Attendees"). Select "ON" when prompted to Publish your Profile on the My Profile screen.

•    Multi Device Sync: If you have not created an account using the web app (laptop or desktop), choose "First Device" on the device you plan to use as your primary mobile device to set up your sync account. Choose "Additional Device" if you already created a web app account or existing MDS account and use the same account credentials to sync more devices. Your "My Schedule" and "My Profile" will sync across devices.

•    Email All Notes: Use this to email yourself or others your notes from all sessions.

•    Push Notifications: Give the app permission to send notifications to your device as soon as new alerts go out, and when you have new messages, regardless of whether you're in the app at the time a notification is sent. To adjust the notification settings, exit the app and open your device settings, select Notifications and select "Allow Notifications".

Alerts: View important messages from AAAAI at the top of the dashboard.
•    The app will signal when a new alert is received. If you allow push notifications, your device is sent an alert even if you are not in the app at the time. To view all Alerts, swipe right on any page to access the Message/Alert Center.
