ICOT 15 Smartphone Event App & PDF Event Guide

I put the app on my iPad -- looks great! Now to figure out how to get it on my new (first ever) Android phone that's coming in the mail later this week. Dumb question: where does one get Android apps? Is there an Android store, like the App Store for iPhone apps?

I have not done my research.

Google Play is the Android app market. It should come pre-installed on your Android phone. You can download apps, music, movies, and books through it. You can access Google Play through the web, too.

Weird. I have a blackberry torch... I don't think it's actually downloading the app.

I scan the QR code, and it takes me to the Intercot page on Guidebook. There's a "download the guidebook" button. When I click it, it takes me to the page where I have to search for Intercot.

So I search for it, and it brings up the page with the schedule: "General Info", "Master Schedule", "Sponsors/Staff", etc. But it's not really downloading any app? Nothing is saved on my phone or downloaded like an app. It's like I'm just looking at a webpage that I'll have to surf to each time I want to see the schedule, as opposed to an app that I can interact with on my phone.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong... I guess I could just save the webpage I'm looking at:

Nope - Blackberry and Windows Phone are both mobile versions - not apps. The reality is that use of both phones is at such a low that it's not worth it for developers to spend the time on seperate apps. Sorry, and that's being said by someone who would take a Windows Phone over any other if it were on my carrier.

So, if you can bookmark the guide - and place an icon on your desktop, then that's your best bet. Also, since service at wdw can be lousy at times, best to print a copy as well as backup or download the pdf to your phone.

Okay thanks John for the clarification! Yeah, apps for the Blackberry are few and far between! haha Once my contract runs out I think I will be making the switch to iPhone. Anyway, I've got my printed version so I'm good to go. Thanks!
