Suggestions for the RE Mobile Event App - from recent experience checking people in for a gala with assigned table seating.

1. When the keyboard comes up it is hard to see the search bar. You have to scroll up each time.
2. The search bar needs an x button. You have to backspace to the beginning to clear the search each time.
3. You cannot scroll down through the entire list of names. If we entered a blank search to get all the names, we could only scroll through to the F names.
3. Table numbers--we renamed some sponsor tables or whole tables purchased. But when looking at the participant you only see the table name, not the number.
4. Search looks for exact names. It doesn't check a constituent's nickname. Robert Jones walks up and tells you he is bob jones. Staff puts in bob, they cant find him. Also, see item 7. If we have a name slightly misspelled, we will never find that person. We often had to refer to paper lists.
5. You can't look up a table. Or sponsor's guests.
6. It would be nice to be able to filter out people who are already checked in to speed up the process.
7. You cannot edit participants. We found out about a switch or a name we had misspelled. You can't edit it from the app. Also, see item 4.
8. Process payments from the app - have to leave the app and go to the mobile pay app to process a payment.
9. Rotate screen - you can't use most stands because they are designed to prop the iPad up horizontally. So you end up holding it all night or putting it flat on a table.
10. maybe this is just a tip to users - you have to turn off auto-correct or it is going to change names all night long.
