Leave a Review Whova
Unfamiliar to Familiarity
Honestly, I never heard of Whova app until I attended the Maryland Crime Victim Conference. This app was offered for participants to use. I must say that this is awesome interactive app as participants were able to converse with each other virtually and it gave the feel that you were actually face to face….. there were numerous topics that were provided and as participants….. you were able to post different topics, conversations, articles etc. I would highly recommend this app… if you want to feel apart and integrate your skills. I went from unfamiliar to familiarity as I was number one on the WHOVA app for the conference.Show lessDr Sylvia D
Fantastic platform with multiple features
This is my first time to use Whova, and it was for NCL leadership conference. For my job I use several different online platforms (Teams, Zoom, etc), and Whova exceeded my expectations. Good for NCL for selecting this platform. Good for Whova for understanding the needs of its customers and providing a versatile and easy to use platform, both in the app and desktop. I joined large sessions 1500+ attendees with keynote speakers and also small 20-30 breakout sessions. I liked the agenda and attention to details for individual sessions. Everything worked well. Meeting in person has its benefits, but I recommend this platform for any virtual event.Show lessKFCwong
A real online conference
The East Coast Genetic Genealogy Conference was conducted entirely on Whova. All the elements of a real conference were there in the comfort of my living room. Evan a lost and found department (which spawned quite a few wisecracks). The attendees were all accessible plus multiple sessions in each time segment, but we get to watch them all! I can’t give them 5 stars yet because there were some rough spots, but I expect hiccups in a new platform. I enjoyed learning the environment in the week leading up to actual conference. All the poking around earned me points which put me on the “Leader Board”, which created some element of competition, but only 10 of the 350+ attendees were so featured. I see tremendous opportunity for development of an online genealogical community.Show lessgregsim
Great app! Just one single suggestion
The app was fantastic, easy to use, and fun! The feature for adding points and incentivizing competition is a brilliant detail. Unlike other apps, I made several hundred connections and began friendships with many of the attendees. The option to post pictures and create your own meet-ups as well as themed rooms was a great way to draw attention and unite like-minded attendees.
My only suggestion: it was sometimes cumbersome to find the reply to a post or notification. This was mostly an issue with the “new member section,” where a new member would be welcomed by someone else and I would receive a notification. To find the reply (and remove the notification), I was forced to scroll through all the different members that had joined, meaning I would have to scroll through 30-50 different posts.
All in all, excellent app!Show lessthe ideator

Initially I was iffy about having to use Whova for the event I was attending, but once I saw how it allowed me to interact not only with the event hosts but also the other attendees, I quickly came to love the app. I was going to this event on my own and didn’t know anyone else that was attending and the Whova app allowed me to chat with and get to know other attendees prior to the event so I actually had some new friends to meet up with and hang out with. The app also allowed me to keep easy track of my schedule for the event (had several classes), allowed for immediate notifications of updates to the event and even had a map of the venue which was extremely helpful for finding my classes.
I feel kinda spoiled by having been able to use the Whova app for this event and I hope that any future events like this that I may go to will use the Whova app as well.
To those planning events, I highly recommend you use Whova for your attendees to keep track of the schedule and get to chat with other attendees prior to the event. It really helped make the whole event so much better!Show lessJewelsandjemsbyjen

I used the Whova app for a recent conference was blown away by how closely it matched the best features of an in-person experience. Prior to the event I was able to connect via personal message with like-minded people and start good conversations. As a speaker, I appreciated the feature that allowed attendees to post questions to my session prior to the day of the conference, which helped me adapt my talk to be relevant to my audience’s interests. (This feature isn’t usually available at an in-person event!). The integration with Zoom was smooth and user-friendly. I would highly recommend Whova to conference organizers and participants.Show lessemboring
Perfect for multiple day events
It's like have the Disney World app for the convention center! Everything you need to know, how to contact and network with other attendees, and most importantly, a calendar of events.
It's hard enough for me to keep the days apart, much less the individual sessions so the reminders with custom alerts was very helpful. An added benefit would be the fact that the organizers can actually reach out to all attendees instantly, which came in handy when someone lost their keys at the convention center.
Great app! Thanks for making three days of chaos run just a little smoother.Show lessPeaceLoveSTEM
My first virtual conference with a five star experience!!
GoalMakers2021 was my first virtual conference to attend. Most part of the conference along with its activities could be accomplished through whova mobile apps. I think team whova did an excellent job. I gave it 10 out of 10 even though I was little disappointed that they didn’t allow simultaneous use of two devices by an attendee. I would have preferred to use the laptop for the panel discussion and the mobile phone for networking. But after all the two days conference ended with no major hassles or interruptions.
Two of our board members assigned for our Exhibit booth could not sign in for some technical reasons.Show lessDashTheGreat
Great online app
I recently used this app for the ‘theatrecraft’ event and as someone who’s used zoom and every other online teaching format under the sun for the past 2 years, this app was easy and straight forward to use - our whole team agreed the app made the online experience better , great job whova will defo use again :)Show lesschrissielianne

I downloaded the App for the PAMLA conference. Easy to use. Practical and fantastic for virtual meetings. It was great to be in New Zealand and feeling like I was at the conference in Las Vegas.RMPNZ
