Leave a Review Whova
Absolutely wonderful app
Really good way to interact with the fellow Toastmasters, checking for events, creating your own events etc. Another thing I like about the app is that we can question each other about different topics and have group conversations. Definitely recommend the app!Sep165

I found the platform easy to navigate and organised!
I only experienced one issue and that was with sharing contact information!
All contact info that we are happy to share was placed, however the app continuously wanted access photos and would not share the business details!
I think it should offer 2 things would be happy to discuss
Thank youShow lessssoltani

I’ve got to tell you that I am beyond impressed having used Whova for the first time in an online conference experience. What really did it was seeing the many engaging ways Whova has built into the app to connect individuals and groups interested in the same topics. It actually suggests people to the user who share similar interests. It facilitates anyone starting a topical discussion group — or, taking it farther, facilitates anyone scheduling a video or face to face meet up. The contests built in make it fun to share more and complete tasks to gain points - perhaps to rise into the leaderboard. All to say that in the week leading up to the conference, I saw more interaction in the app than I usually see during a whole conference. Talk about giving a boost to the actual online conference!Show lessCollaborator

This was the first year for Banjo Camp to go online. Of course, it was due to COVID. They used Whova and my experience as an attendee was OUTSTANDING! I liked it almost as much as attending the camp and, in some ways, it was a better experience. For example, I am from Massachusetts and I would not have traveled to attend this great camp in Florida. Also several of the sessions were recorded making it possible to see sessions that were scheduled at the same time. Plus I could review the same session several times. In addition, all documents were available several days before the class so I could review them ahead of time. Those are just a few of the reasons why I loved the online experience. I even suggested that next year, when COVID is hopefully over, the camp should adapt a hybrid model where some attendees are in person and, at the same time, others view the class online. I think it could be a good model for all music camps (and other types of camps) and it would enable many students to attend far away camps without the time and expense of travel. It would also increase the overall camp attendance.

My first time using Whova was also my first time going to a professional development conference. The organization elements of Whova helped me easily browse and set reminders for different panels I wanted to attend. The Community board was great for interacting with other participants, and the Ice Breakers helped me feel more comfortable in this virtual community space. The mobile app and desktop page UIs are similar in a good way! It meant that I could easily navigate both and quickly pick up a conversation I was having on desktop later on the mobile app.
My one critique is that the Polls tab never worked on mobile for me. The conference I attended didn’t use that feature much, but it was a slight point of confusion for me when I was watching a panel on mobile and they asked me to fill out a poll.Show lessSophia7269

I recently attended the first all-online version of the Pacific Seabird Group’s Annual Meeting. It was held on the Whova app, and the features supported on the app were great. Some improvements from the in-person meetings I’ve attended in the past are the ability to access the pre-recorded or live-recorded talks and posters, which you can access again if your notes aren’t perfect. The chat options in the live talks are great, and the speaker can focus on answering questions, rather than the room being held captive while one person has a “more of a comment” moment. The “agenda” interface was great, and the ability to set up a “my agenda” to compare to the whole conference was great. Getting in and out of “rooms” was simple, and I didn’t experience any lag or glitching when they opened.
All in all, I hope we use the platform to augment any in-person future meetings, especially since being able to access the other talks means you don’t have to miss anything during concurrent sessions. If we do future online or virtual conferences I think this would be a great app to organize it on.Show lessJim-Howard

I recently downloaded Whova for a virtual research conference, and I’m very impressed with both the app and website performance. Both platforms really facilitated organic interaction between attendees. The Exhibitor Hub was especially useful and gives options for promoting yourself/your company, showcasing offerings, and collect leads. My favorite part of the app was that it automatically grouped attendees by keyword interests and organizations, and you could browse through all of the groups to find mutual interests.
I’m not sure if this is already a feature on the app, but on the desktop version, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could browse the conference website while I was attending a Zoom session (great integration with Zoom, btw) and a popout of the video would appear alongside the rest of the content. Would be good to have that for mobile as well.Show lessspaceveldt

The WHOVA app is awesome. I have had the app for over a year but this year I really explored the app because I attended a virtual Conference. It was very user friendly and easy to access the various Conference sessions. If I may I would recommend the following enhancements to the app; 1. The time to upload your business card was faster 2. That the app would link the attendees of like Companies and organizations together (ex. All attendees of from company ABC together all of company EFG together etc..). These are very minor recommendations but ones I feel will be a great enhancement to the app.Show lessMoneyWealthLoveMarriage
Whova Support is non existent
Whova tech support does not exist. They implemented an update that wiped out our speakers and vendors uploaded information the day before our conference.
They are West coast based. We are East coast. Tech support is only available when they open. With every issue that came up they immediately blame the issue on something we did or were doing.
After the first day of our three day event they did a security update that wiped out the compatibility between Whova and Zoom. Our second day is 1/2 over and no resolution to the chat issue.
They are very cavalier with their support. When their update wiped out the data for vendors and presenters they suggested we just reload the information less than 8 hours before our conference.
I would not recommend Whova to anyone searching for a platform to use for a virtual conference. Terrible, terrible tech support.Show lessBrustarooster
When you can’t hug
I was introduced to the Whova app for our UCC national church conference of some 150 plus participants resorting to a virtual meeting due to COVID. I’m age 73 and an avid Facebook user, texter, and email user. I’ve used Zoom some. I was very comfortable with the Whova app in reviewing my agenda and signing up for various breakouts. I was impressed how well we were able to break out for small group discussions, the warning message as time limit was approaching and the rejoining the large group. I could see participants. I use a Mac which does not always adapt to various app, but had no problems. Our conference ran four days with minimal issues.
A highlight of our conferences is the meeting of folks from all over the nation and hugging. We could not physically hug but the app readily allowed me to search out to folks, meet new folks, send messages, and more.
In these crazy times and when travel is not an option....Whova is an outstanding option.Show lessJebb13
