### 1/5 — The app is a hot mess

*2023-08-02*

It should just provide a run of show. Instead it’s flooded with vendor cold outreaches that I can’t easily delete. Some as old as 3 years. It’s effectively impossible unusable. Do better BlackHat.

### 1/5 — Lacks basic information

*2022-08-10*

No Map
No Core list services/functions like registration hours
Let me search the whole app, don’t make me drill j to each sub area to maybe try

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-08-07*

Can’t find the business email I used to sign up. Can’t use the app as a result :( 

why not allow a guest mode?

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-06*

Every time you an open the app, you have to “skip” an ad.  That’s not the end of it, either. 

They hide your personal schedule 4 clicks deep.  Search at least works, unless it has special characters like “-“, and then you can’t add the results. Very disappointed with being blatantly treated as the product… cheapens the entire experience.

### 1/5 — Where is the WiFi info

*2026-08-04*

This app is not easy to navigate. Contacting attendees is cumbersome and it does not list the event WiFi info

### 1/5 — Insufficient

*2026-08-04*

Can’t even see events or schedule with room and time details.

### 1/5 — Worst experience possible

*2026-08-04*

Not usable

### 1/5 — Not working on iPhone

*2026-07-20*

Can’t get passed Start Now

### 1/5 — Easy to use

*2025-08-06*

Well done

### 1/5 — hope you like ads

*2025-08-01*

you can’t even open the app without being plastered with full screen ads

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-07-27*

Pay too much for these events.   App is horrible. Does not work.  No current information only shows things from years ago.  Extremely disappointed.   Should not have bought a ticket to attend.  Will not next year.

### 1/5 — Worse app ever

*2024-08-08*

No map no search briefing never populated.  It sucked.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-08-07*

Not showing 2024 content even after update. Unusable.

### 5/5 — Briefings

*2026-08-07*

Add a briefings button please

### 5/5 — ممتاز

*2023-11-14*

الله يوفق الجميع

### 5/5 — Works as designed

*2020-08-04*

So amazing. Better than in person.

### 4/5 — Good but some challenges

*2022-08-12*

The app was easy to use and much easier to navigate than the Web site. One problem, on my iPad it was sometimes not possible to get a presentation into full-screen mode leaving a tiny image in the center of the screen. When it was possible to select full screen, if a notification arrived, it reverted to small size and I had to exit the session and rejoin to be able to get into full screen. Somewhat annoying.

### 4/5 — Needs a “search” function

*2022-08-11*

A search function that looks at content of briefings, etc.

### 3/5 — Solid

*2024-08-07*

Solid app and build. Only feature issue is the agenda does not auto-scroll to current day resulting in needing to constantly find the correct day for the agenda
