## What is Event Espresso & Event Smart?

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a ticket scanner and check-in station for your events.

Event Espresso & Event Smart Ass are the door companion to the Event Espresso WordPress plugin and Event Smart — the registration and ticketing system that runs on your own website. Sell tickets and collect registrations on your site, then check attendees in at the door with this app. No third-party ticketing service, no per-ticket fees, and your attendee data never leaves your control.

AT THE DOOR
• Scan QR code and barcode tickets with the camera — attendees are checked in on the spot
• Three scanning modes: look up an attendee's full details, continuous scanning, or rapid check-in-only for busy entrances
• Check people in or out with one tap — re-entry and session tracking included
• Add as many check-in stations as you need: every device sees the same live attendee list, so your whole team can work the door at once

KNOW WHO'S ARRIVING
• Browse today's, upcoming, and past events with live capacity, sold, and checked-in counts
• Search any attendee by name and see their status instantly
• View each attendee's ticket, payment, and registration details
• NEW: see attendees' answers to your registration questions — dietary needs, t-shirt sizes, session choices, any custom question you ask — right on the check-in screen, exactly when you need them

RUN A MODERN, PAPERLESS DOOR
• Tickets on attendees' phones or printed — custom tickets can even double as name badges
• Skip the printed guest list: faster lines, fewer mistakes, greener events
• Fully updated for the latest iPhones, iPads, and iOS 26

Perfect for concerts, conferences, classes, workshops, fundraisers, meetups — any event where people register first and walk in the door later.

REQUIRES: a WordPress website running the Event Espresso plugin (EventEspresso.com), or an account on EventSmart.com. Connect the app to your site, sign in, and your events appear — setup takes about a minute. Learn more at eventespresso.com and eventsmart.com

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2025-01-23*

Works perfectly fine would like the option to tap the screen in the camera mode to focus the camera. It’s funny because the android app has that functionality.

### 3/5 — Basic, helpful but could use work

*2020-08-05*

I really like being able to see my events at a glance in the app. I can see the number registered and see registrations. I would like to be able to see the registrations alphabetized by last name as well as the number of registrations per ticket type. I would also like to filter to see who is registered for each ticket type. These functions would be awesome for allowing others in our office to see a “snapshot” of each of our events.

### 2/5 — Who came up with sorting by first name?

*2020-01-14*

Overall works well but who came up with the idea of sorting by first name.  You have to fix the sort ASAP.     If you fix the sort I can rate this two stars higher..

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2018-12-10*

Love having an app to see my events, check registrants and sign people in. Super pro! App is really easy to use also. Well done!
