Leave a Review Whova
Spammy, glitchy, and non-existent support.
I really wish my organization wouldn’t insist on using this awful app.
Five minutes after registering an account, I was bombarded with porn spam. The app constantly sends me irrelevant push notifications (I don’t need to be notified that an evangelical conference is happening 1,500 miles away) and even though I updated my contact info in the app a year ago, I’ve been unable to get Whova to update the same info on my actual account so I can’t log in to my conference because the organizer has my current info but Whova won’t update the same info on my account.
If you’re considering Whova because you think it’ll make your life easier, I can assure you that it will not. Since my organization started using Whova three years ago it has become infinitely more cumbersome and annoying to register for and attend our annual conference.Show lessveganmac
Whova App
I used Whova app as part of speaker panel to connect to other speakers and attendees. It is a well designed app where key considerations have been made that design and UX is simple but offering all the features that the customer might need to use for an engaging experience.
Thank you for promoting it as part of Women in Silicon Roundabout event. It helped a lot with engaging and learning about the event offering without the need for sending constant emails to find out about key information. Thank you once again.Show lessShilpi2022

It was great experience with using whova at the conference to connect to everyone at the conference and to connect with those at remote platform. I’m a member of the organising committee for Ausit conference next year and will recommend whova for sure to use it again. It was a pleasure platform to be involved and connect with other people and what’s happening around you.
The best thing I liked was that you can upload photos on the spot for everyone to see it. Also, we can read about the speakers bio and their topics.
I enjoyed it very much and I will definitely recommend it to everyone.Show lessausitmt22

I attended the annual GSCA Conference and this app helped with navigating the conference. I like that all sessions and presenter information was all stored in one location. Even if two interesting sessions were scheduled for the same time, you could easily view the presentation from the missed session. Networking opportunities were greatly enhanced from using the App, which is great for lone conference travelers who may discover an old colleague or hometown friend to meet up with. It really helped to not sift through bulky conference book pages. I hope this is continued trend!Show lessMRSMSY
Planning and
I have to say that I truly enjoyed the features provided through this app. One of the most important features that really helped me stay organized and plan for the event was the fact that it gave all of the sessions and once you decided which one you were interested in, you could add it to an agenda and then when you’re done, you can see the agenda for the entire event and you can see the agenda from the selections you made. On the day of the event, I didn’t have to open up the hard copy of the agenda. It was already loaded in my phone. I knew exactly where to go. I knew what was going to be discussed which helps alleviate the stress of trying to figure out where to go next, and increase my time with collaborating with my colleagues. Another feature that I enjoyed was the reminder so I knew that 10 minutes before my next session. I would get an alert on my phone to let me know it was time to head to my next session, that was very helpful for me. Lastly, the listing of other participants allowed me to see what professional educators I was in the mist of throughout the conference, and that helped me make informed decisions about which sessions to go to, to meet the needs of the education institution that I support. All events should have this app for their participants, so that participants can maximize the time spent during the event/conference. It like a personal assistant at the conference!Show lessDenise Janell

An excellent App, I really wanted to attend as many workshops as possible but I knew my working week would make it tough. But I found the app so easy to use, I had my agenda calendar set up and felt a part of the whole week even though I knew I wouldn’t be able to catch up with the training until the weekend. The communication and organisation of the app is excellent. Easy to navigate. I hope more events use this platform.Show lessangiebez

I’ve attended 2 conferences using Whova. The first I was 100% virtual. The second I attended in person but also utilized after session recordings to maximize the content I was able to see and credits gained towards professional relicensure.
Once I became familiar with the format it was great!! It did initially take a bit of effort to navigate due to my inexperience with the virtual format.
The convenience of seeing the full agenda, signing up for sessions, and asking questions through the app is unparalleled. Also having access to handouts and slide sets once I am back in the office is great!Show lessteshirley
It actually works! Like, really well!
Finally, a conference app that is genuinely better than a paper program. I used this app for 5 days at a conference for the first time last week and it by far exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use (intuitive even for those who aren’t technologically savvy), not buggy, and has a lot of neat features that help with networking in a way that isn’t awkward. The map feature is excellent and particularly useful, and I like how easy it is to add break out sessions to my personal agenda. The way the app is laid out makes a lot of sense too — the first page it brings you to is the agenda, and then you can click on each event to read more, ask questions, take notes, and chat with other attendees in the sessions. I’ve had to use a lot of conference apps, and this is the first one that has improved the conference experience rather than create a headache. If I were a conference planner, I would definitely use this! Highly recommend!Show lessGraduate Student x1000

I see the app as user friendly to set up and use. It’s function as a location for sharing experiences during events and afterwards, is phenomena. A great way to network and share photos; easy uploading.
I definitely will continue using Whova and recommend it to other events and programs that I’ll attend in the near future.Show lessOnomeh K

I recently attended an event in my local area. The app, Whova, was an amazing tool that offered so many engaging, useful, and informative tools. I was able to register for sessions and refer back to the app for time and locations. I was able to make suggestions and chat with other participants in real time. Also see any updates or changes made instantly. I would highly recommend this tool for engagement and participation with events or itineraries. It is ideal for participants within a group or if you are attending solo. I found that it was very helpful to stay in contact with persons I met during the first day and meet new people as well. Loads of input and output. I can’t say enough.Show lessThe Numbers Lady
