Congress App Help

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the app only compatible with the most recent version of iOS, macOS or tvOS?

Since the app is not a commercial product (it’s build entirely in spare time) developing, maintaining and especially testing the app for multiple iOS versions is just to much work.

Which languages is the app available in?

English and German

What are the data sources?

There are two main data sources:

• Schedule date from the official Hub Fahrplan schedule.json API
• Live & VoD video streams from the media.ccc.de API

The data is cached in a middleware system. Silent push notifications trigger a data update if required.

Is the app open source?

Currently not for various reasons, one of which is time for me to maintain an open source project. That might change at some point but no promises.
