iPhone people and Android people have strong opinions about everything. For deadline tracking, the platform barely matters.
- Both do the same four things: store deadlines, fire alerts, sync calendars, filter by discipline - iOS versions tend prettier, Android versions more customizable; neither decides whether your paper gets submitted - What decides it: whether you turned the alerts on and left them on - Free is fine for one student tracking five conferences; a lab dashboard pays for itself the first time it catches a forgotten deadline - Check data freshness: a tracker listing last year's dates with confidence is worse than none
Whatever you download, VenueFit is free and stays the current calendar behind it, so the app is an alarm clock with real dates.
