Google I/O is the company's yearly conference for developers.
Although technically a trade show attended mostly by software developers
and programmers, the event is often used as a platform to reveal new
technology and demonstrate device prototypes. The Android app
accompanying the event will allow those not attending to still get a
first look at the new technologies coming our way.
The app has a schedule which shows all the different seminars and
workshops taking place at Google I/O. Users can select which events they
would like to attend or watch live coverage of, and the app can send a
reminder when those events are about to begin.
Despite being useful for just one event, the Google I/O app doesn't
seem like something that was rushed out the door with little effort put
in. Tapping on any event on the schedule displays information on the
topics and speakers that will be present, and gives users the option to
add it to their schedule. Seminars can be searched and filtered by
subject areas, such as wearable technology or design. Scheduled events
can also be added to an existing Google Calendar.
The layout of the Google I/O app is designed to be compatible with
both smartphones and tablets, and has a navigation menu that slides out
from the left side similar to many other Android apps. The app also has a
widget that allows users to view upcoming events directly on the home
screen.
The app is available now at no cost on the Google Play store. Google I/O will take place June 25 and 26 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif.
