Pros and cons of Apple Developer app for iPhone and iPad
Apple Developer app good for
Great app for developers that want to watch any WWDC sessions video.
Speaking of videos, it would be nice if the built in video player had the possibility to play videos at faster speeds (even just at 1.2x) and the possibility to fast forward/backward 30 seconds.
Nevertheless, great work!
There are so many videos it can be very difficult to scroll through and find videos that have been downloaded.
WHO ELSE IS ATTENDING DUB DUB. THIS IS GONNA BE SO HELPFUL WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENTS!
After the bug fix this app works amazingly, and I cant wait for WWDC 16.
Implementing Peek & Pop in the Schedules list view to quickly preview sessions would be helpful. Please add 3D Touch! Thanks!
I seek knowledge, the most valuable resource of all.

Some bad moments
Please, keep the focus on the content during the streaming! I dont want to see the face of the speaker and lose the content!
On iPhone 6 Plus:
- in portrait while watching the video, the statusbar is always visible and its white, while in landscape its only visible when the control view is shown (here its black to match the controls)
- while watching the video and hitting the home button, the video does not pause and one can hear the current video playing
Instantly empty video tab even I am authenticated with developer account.
My Apple Developer password is random generated and I rotate it regularly. Entering it every time I open the app is a horrible experience. Please, just keep me logged in across app runs...unbearable to use otherwise.
2016: so there we have it again... Apple forcing down the latest of ios with the latest of this unbelievably unprofessional thing, while makimg sure that rhe previous version is dead. Yeah!!!suddenly g... does not seem so bad. I will sell my phone if the authors make another stage presentation.
2015: so much for the brilliant architecture showcased in one of the wwdc videos... this app is truly a shame which crashes for so many reasons and has poor usability. E.g.: what kind of a designer whould not let users filter by the fact that a video is downloaded on the device or not, or loose its state so regularly(did u watch the state restoration sessions at all?)... seriously, parade less on stage and use you brain a bit more.
It is impossible for this app to have been tested (beyond ok, play, stop, close- job done): it systematically plays 2 videos (image playing once, but soundtracks overlayed) when terminating playback a certain specific way and starting a second video (the reason is even explained in one of the recent tvOS videos). This is actually not the only way to get 2 or 3 videos playing at the same time. The only way to stop that nonsense is to kill the app, and then good luck searching around to figure which one was last playing.
there are plenty of sessions you might want to watch on how to handle errors in the network layers... problems during downloads lead to frozen controls: cannot pause, cannot cancel, cannot delete - have to kill the app then try to delete the faulty download again. In the more extreme situations, i ran into the UI reporting a partial download, killing the app and the download and restarting it led to the UI saying there was already a file by that name. And that problem can only truly be fixed by deleting/reinstalling the app.
I think what this shows is that the brilliant new design is either a really bad idea or that it is too complicated for the people who implemented this app. In all cases, this is truly an insult to professional programming.
PS: these problems have been around for months... and as usual nobody is doing anything about them... and you guys want to write the software for a car??
What the heck??? Says it needs to update when launched. but when I go to the app store it says its at the latest version / click to open?!?!
