阿你的登入密碼限制很多
密碼在活動當天早忘了
也不支援SSO 或第三方登入
這時候要登入不純噁心人

### 2/5 — 闪退太严重

### 3/5 — 일정 탭에서 아래로 스크롤이 안됩니다

*2026-05-09*

전에 summit 일정표를 이미지로라도 줬는데 안줘서 앱을 설치했는데 앱은 잘 동작하질 않네요…

### 3/5 — Somewhat helpful

*2025-12-03*

“Up next” was helpful and calendar. Location navigation often gave an error. Wish there was more intelligent recommendations when I’ve just finished a session and looking for something else nearby that I could join (without needing manual filtering on venue, time of day, and then browsing through 66 results). There’s lots of stuff that should be easier to find such as shuttle schedules and daily menus at each of the venues (without asking chatbot for this). Also please consider next year a feature for multiple attendees for a conference to join a team to share their calendars with each other and opt in to location sharing. This would have been awesome for our team to coordinate meetups. Also I wish more info was available re dev/quest like “where do I go for the self paced training”, would have saved a lot of time.

### 2/5 — UX is just plain bad

*2025-12-02*

I’m amazed AWS actually released this in its current state. After using it for a recent event I was amazed by just how bad it is. App stops responding to taps for events until it’s relaunched. Nothing seems to be cached locally causing painful load times. Scrolling favorites horizontally also sometimes swipes back to reserved.

### 2/5 — Poor interface

*2025-12-02, version 8.0.5*

If you’re going to force us to run around like walk-up peasants, at least add event filtering by venue

### 4/5 — Works well enough

*2025-12-02, version 8.0.5*

The app works well enough for me to find sessions and reserve them but I can’t see both my reserved and favorited sessions on the same view. It would have been nice to see both without having to flip views. Navigation kind of sucks at first and freaks out if you’re not already in the conference area. I still need to know how to get there before worrying about which room it is.

### 3/5 — Shame it does not do app side caching

*2025-12-02, version 8.0.5*

There is seemingly no app side caching, so if you don’t have internet can’t see your registered session. Difficult when then WiFi is down or signal poor.

### 3/5 — No way to check personal time

*2025-12-01*

The app does not integrate fully with the browser version. The browser lets user add personal time for networking events etc. However, the app does not show it.

### 1/5 — Worst experience during conference with limited internet connection

*2025-12-01*

- Slow startup time with poor internet connection
- session expired but app does not recognise so I had to reinstall
- ‘reserve a seat’ should not be activated if there is no seat remaining
- so many weird ‘something went wrong’ error, including error message in raw HTML

### 1/5 — UX doesn’t work well with large fonts

*2025-10-14, version 7.6.13*

Increasing the font size for accessibility on my phone resulted poor layout and overlapping text

### 1/5 — Running on MACOS

*2025-09-18, version 7.6.9*

1 STAR - Plenty of iOS apps run on macOS like a dream… easy, portable, full of cool bells and whistles. But not this app. Nope, some ding dong thought it would be hilarious to flash “jailBroken.warningDescription” across the screen and then rage-quit like a toddler. Thanks for the masterclass in uselessness, guys!

### 3/5 — Please support IPAD

*2025-06-10, version 7.6.6*

Works great on iPhone, not usable on IPAD.

### 1/5 — No events showing

*2025-03-02, version 7.6.0*

The app doesn’t show any events and yet there are scheduled events coming up like re:Inforce

### 2/5 — Not a fan

*2024-12-03*

Calendar won’t stay where you scroll to between visits. I go to the calendar, scroll way down, open event, close event, the calendar scrolls all the way back to the start of the day, I scroll back down to where I originally was in the calendar. Not nice.

### 3/5 — Good app, but missing a major feature

*2024-12-03*

This app makes it easy to navigate re:Invent. But what would really make this app great would be the ability to share a link to a session with someone else. This isn’t even possible from the web based app, which is sad.

### 1/5 — Can’t see calendar

*2024-11-18, version 7.5.1*

The calendar view is broken. Just has a pop up that can’t be exited. Entire app is frozen at that point. Can’t navigate out of it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2024-11-02, version 7.4.7*

Something went wrong. That’s the only thing this app shows you. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling, reboot the phone. It’s bad when one of the largest tech conferences can’t create a functional iOS app.

### 1/5 — 29Jun26 horrible UX

*2026-06-30, version 8.6.5*

Thought this was a joke. One of the worst UXs I’ve encountered. Embarrassing really. And this is from a  diehard AWS user and former employee

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-06-03*

Keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2026-05-13*

it has instant crash after update. Won’t open

### 1/5 — Very bad user experience

*2026-05-13, version 8.4.0*

This app fully demonstrates how app coding product bad apps which looks awesome, fancy, but really hard to use. Too many basic issues just common sense behavior, screen lock, button has no react. I can imagine it is just plain be day work without fully tested app👎

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-05-12*

It just shows a message saying “the device appears to be jailbroken” and exits.

### 1/5 — 8.3.1 버전 에러 리포팅

*2026-05-10*

1. 캘린더 메뉴 에러
- 한글모드일 경우 캘린더 메뉴가 제대로 작동하지 않음
- 30분 단위 점선 미노출 및 스크롤 불가
- 영어모드로 변경하면 정상 작동함

2. 탭메뉴 전환시 간헐적 다운 발생

3. App Feedback 링크 404 Not found

### 1/5 — UI is horrible

*2025-12-03, version 8.0.5*

Trying to schedule events in the app is clunky.  Often swiping on multiple favorites in the same time slot would flip flop favs and reserved.  Plus clicking on the calendar entry was a struggle.

### 1/5 — Calendar fail

*2025-12-03*

Calendar feature will not show personal timeslots i configured on the website version of re:invent 2025 :(

### 1/5 — Can’t find simple info

*2025-12-02, version 8.0.5*

The app seems to get worse every year. This year, it’s reached new lows. You can’t find anything basic like the hours for the shuttles, expo, or monorail access. These can be found in the session catalog but the duration just says “all day”. What an unhelpful way to determine what time something closes. The key or video hiccuped many times so I switched to watch it on YouTube instead. The app is only good for finding sessions and seeing your reserved sessions. It’s even too hard to look through your favorites when they overlap on the app. Lastly, the font size in the calendar on standard font setting is extremely tiny. It’s hard to imagine how this app past any sort of UX review.

### 1/5 — Totally amateurish app

*2025-12-02, version 8.0.5*

There is nothing good about this app. I really wondering how much Quality testing done on this. Search wont work , the ask does not bring any good results. Favorites not showing up calendar, list goes on…work with few participants and let them try all options and see what the output is.contact me i can show you the drawbacks on this app.

*2026-08-08, version 8.6.5*

Mark, not enough storage so mark.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-09-04*

Well found it easy to use, useful filters, especially time of the day.

### 5/5 — Super helpful though PeerTalk is flaky

*2023-12-01*

Main content of the app is wonderfully integrated with the incredible event management team. The PeerTalk module though suffers from being a second class implementation within: peers don’t check message requests within it; so the utility of reaching out to new people is entirely lost.

### 5/5 — Ótimo evento

Muito bom top dos tops!

Hosting an event of this scale is defining easy and the arrangements done, right from shuttle to the food, the badge collection, maps etc, through this app have made life so easy.

### 5/5 — Good app with some challenges

*2022-05-24, version 2.2.13*

I’ve experienced that the calendar I created keep disappearing and come back. Some improvements could be done for a better experience there.
