### 2/5 — Frustrating experience

*2024-05-15*

Great concept and the UI looks good on my phone. However, the schedule screen constantly resets back to the current time, making it difficult to browse the full days schedule. To make matters worse, many of the sessions take so long to load that sessions are easy to miss. This app needs a lot of work.

### 1/5 — Crashes on opening

*2024-04-29, version 11.11.3*

As above - downloaded today, can’t even open the app!

### 3/5 — Great tool - but version for iPad missing

*2023-10-27*

If you want to display the agenda of an event, it would be much more convenient to have it on the iPad instead of the iPhone.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-05-24, version 11.3.0*

Doesn’t let you do anything useful without surrendering a stupid amount of data. This needs to be overhauled to serve users, not advertisers.

### 2/5 — Pretty poor app

*2023-05-24, version 11.3.0*

Pretty poor app, frequently flashes

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2023-03-22, version 11.2.0*

The app is useless. I’ve downloaded it twice and entered my event code, and it freezes. Failed experience.

### 2/5 — Very patchy - sluggish performance

*2022-11-17, version 6.2.2*

Not very good. Navigation is poor. Links don’t work. Takes ages to load content. Could do much better.

### 1/5 — Can’t get rid of it

*2022-10-26, version 6.1.1*

Can’t delete this app from my iPhone, what’s going on?

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever!!

*2022-09-21, version 6.1.0*

Worst App Ever!!

### 1/5 — App won’t load

*2022-05-24*

As soon as you download the app it says it needs to update then freezes. Obviously the developers have a lot of work to do. It’s junk right now.

### 2/5 — Great Idea; Poor Execution

*2022-05-20*

The idea of an app for conference networking is great. However, the execution and reliability of this app is sub-par. Constantly takes forever to load, no ability to choose your own meeting location, and the iPad app is PHONE sized. Even the desktop site is super slow. I wish there was an ability to “link” with people to track who your colleagues have networked with. We are keeping an Excel sheet, but it’d be better to be able to track this in the app to avoid multiple people from the same company reaching out to us or to combine meetings. Also wish I could take notes in the app. Lots of room for improvement.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2022-05-01*

I’ve deleted and reinstalled several times and won’t get passed the first screen.  My IOS is up to date.  Worthless to me and I have a conference in 3 days.

### 1/5 — Terrible - frozen screen trying to force an update

*2022-04-20, version 5.5.4*

The title says it all, I’m going to an event next week and hoping to set up some meetings but when opening the app it presents a modal with half a message talking about an update. But there’s nothing you can do, the bottom half of the message is off screen but you can’t scroll and you can’t tap out of the modal to get rid of it. The app is now totally useless.

### 1/5 — The worst app I've ever seen.

*2026-05-25*

The worst app I've ever seen.

### 1/5 — Nicht smart

*2026-05-20*

Umständlich, benutzerfreundlich, verliert die Daten … leider ohne Nutzen .

### 1/5 — Terrible Outcome

*2026-01-07, version 12.2.0*

We were referred to them by someone else so thought it would be a good investment unfortunately it wasn’t to be. People don’t receive their emails. People don’t action them. We arranged all our meetings ourselves manually which was very tedious but better than this App. We wasted about £6000 for 1 year which we could have invested in something else as a start-up! Even when we left they really had no emotion towards a losing client.

### 1/5 — The event is not available for the app.

*2025-10-23, version 11.24.0*

After following a series of instructions where the Brella.io app is supposed to be used, turns out, as of the message received, the event is not available from said app.

### 1/5 — Forced to network

*2025-06-19, version 11.20.0*

I just wanted to join an event but the app forces users to fill in extra info and choose networking times. Nasty

### 1/5 — Can’t support big events

*2025-03-19, version 11.17.0*

Brella, you are an app for events. It needs to work!! Frustrating for delegates when we can’t access content and it keeps crashing. Unacceptable for sponsors and companies paying for a pitch and looking for clients to meet with.

### 1/5 — Not working right at the beginning of the conference

*2025-03-19*

Worst thing that can happen. At the end delivering the service when need is key.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-05-15, version 11.11.4*

The app doesn’t open

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2024-05-13*

App was buggy at best. After our team downloaded it only one person could actually open it without it automatically closing immediately after opening it up.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2024-05-13*

Can’t even launch. Have uninstalled and reinstalled and still can’t launch.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2026-04-28*

Typically better experience than most other conference apps. I think the low stars are too negative. 
My experience is that this is now a more polished app

### 5/5 — Sr Director, Global Events

*2026-04-27*

Amazing app, so easy to set up and personalize. Support team is amazing, load time is phenomenal. Especially good for networking and agenda personalization.

### 5/5 — Worked great for Slush’D Quebec

*2025-05-08*

Brella worked great for looking at the event schedule, and it helped me to connect with other relevant people during the event.

### 5/5 — Great networking app

*2025-02-11, version 11.17.0*

I found this app so intuitive and easy to use when I last attended a conference. I really can’t relate to what’s been said in the other reviews.

### 5/5 — THIS APP IS INCREDIBLE!

*2023-12-04*

So helpful and useful onsite at the events! Easy to use and great design!

### 5/5 — Best event app

*2023-11-02*

I've been to dozens of conferences, and this is by far the best app. Easy to use, intuitive, fast, good design, and best of all I can easily connect with leads

### 5/5 — Best networking app I’ve used

*2022-12-19, version 6.2.4*

I’ve been to tons of conferences and the mobile app always is terrible and clunky. This is the fastest and easiest I’ve used and the best part is how it allows you to really seamlessly network.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciate it :)

### 5/5 — Surprisingly good

*2019-09-26, version 4.0.0*

I’ve just used Brella as an event and have found compelled to write a review. Using the app is straightforward once you get the hang of it. The IM works well and setting or rescheduling meetings is simple. Overall simple to use and a great tool to network at events.

### 5/5 — La app que todos los eventos deben tener

*2019-09-11, version 4.0.0*

Todos los eventos con networking y conferencias deberían usar este servicio.

### 5/5 — I wish all conferences used this app

*2019-06-26*

The app has some shortcomings (I wish it could import the conference agenda as opposed to just having a URL pointing to it), but I love the idea. It facilitates networking a lot less daunting by allowing you to learn a little bit about the person you are about to talk to before actually meeting them and to find a time that is convenient for both parties rather than catching the other party by surprise at an inconvenient time. I would recommend this app to all conferences if I could!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind feedback, much appreciated! We will deliver the feedback to our product team for future development! :)
