I expect better. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-02-11, version 3.2* Sorry, all, but you’d think an organization as big as HIMSS could come up with a functional mobile app. To start with it won’t even let me log in with my HIMSS membership or registration information. As I search through the app it keeps crashing out and I have to restart it. I have no idea if the sessions I select will sync between devices but I’m guessing they won’t since it doesn’t know who I am. Seriously? ### 1/5 — Useless, crashes constantly on windows 8 *2019-02-11, version 3.2* Crashes during login so this is a non-starter for me. Tried to reinstall as well and accepted all default answers. This reduces my ability to gain access to slide presentations. ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly and is completely unusable *2019-02-11, version 3.2* Crashes constantly! Throughout the day and night. All phone apps closed. Unusable and not well organized compared to other event apps. Shocking and disappointing ### 1/5 — Worst Annual Conference app *2019-02-10, version 3.2* For such a major event it is extremely disappointing to see we don’t have tools to sync our schedule with exhibitor list. I was at TSW last year and didn’t had to spend a single minute looking at the schedule and submit session surveys it was always at my fingertips. ### 1/5 — Awful App *2019-02-09, version 3.2* Search is incredibly poor. There are < 40,000 people at this event and search by last initial only return a small subset. Try the letter R for example Finding exhibitors is very difficult Was not able to sync my computer favorite vendors with the app What’s the use ? ### 1/5 — Crashes on iPhone XR *2019-02-09, version 3.2* Crashes on iPhone XR and won’t accept my login credentials. Pretty much useless to me 2 days before the conference. ### 1/5 — Director *2019-02-07, version 3.2* Always crashes. Not useful ### 1/5 — App is glitchy *2019-02-06, version 3.2* This app is extremely glitchy. It keeps kicking me out. The schedule is very hard to search and find sessions. ### 1/5 — Crashes with every open *2019-02-05, version 3.2* Looks like I got the syncing to work, but the app crashes and closes every time I open it. ### 1/5 — Seriously!!! *2019-02-03, version 3.2* You are Healthcare Information & Management Systems Society! One would think this basic front end tool would be ready for prime-time. NOT! So disconnected... #fixit ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why is creating a login so challenging on this app? *2023-03-28, version 5.0.1.16* I have now tried 4 times to create a login for this app and it continues to fail to authenticate. It should not be this hard. ### 1/5 — App and web site don’t sync *2020-03-04, version 3.3.1* I added all the exhibits I wanted to visit to my HIMSS account at the event web site, but then had to re-add them to the app. I’m logged into both platforms with the same username. I have no confidence that the app will function, given that my web data seems to be missing from the app. ### 1/5 — Map doesn’t work *2020-03-04, version 3.3.1* Brings up himss 2018 then crashes. Not good. ### 1/5 — HIMSS APP *2019-02-14, version 3.2* This may be a fairly decent app, however the maps don’t work well—I realize it could be WiFi issue, but there are other issues, takes you to maps when you click on different things. ### 1/5 — Virtually useless *2019-02-12, version 3.2* Login gives error, but actually did login. Crashes every 3 seconds even after reinstall. Virtually useless because of the crashing. ### 1/5 — Not usable *2019-02-12, version 3.2* Total disappointment Relied on the app to schedule and plan my himss visit - BUT its crashing constantly. I cant even select all the session as it crashes in the meantime. Even just checking a room number doesn't work - crashing. Big disappointment and embarrassing for a tech conference. ### 1/5 — You can not even make it work.. For a tech conference, had higher expectations *2019-02-12, version 3.2* I was trying to create my schedule but the app was not working more than 3 sec. I tried a few times and deleted the app but no solution. I expect a tech conference to have a proper app please. ### 1/5 — Stop *2019-02-12, version 3.2* Stop refreshing app every time I close it!!!! ### 1/5 — Not intuitive *2019-02-12, version 3.2* Very poor ### 1/5 — 2 weeks from HIMSS ‘19 & the app crashes constantly *2019-02-11, version 3.2* It’s very frustrating that the annual conference app, which is supposed to synchronize between my schedule and exhibitor favorite list from my online profile, simply does not sync. Furthermore, while waiting for it to sync, the app just crashes. Always. iPad or iPhone. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works for me *2019-02-06, version 3.2* All good here ### 4/5 — FM *2019-02-13, version 3.2* Looks great, a few too many options but I can find what I need pretty. Great way to network and find speakers, sessions, and add them to my itinerary in this fast paced environment. ### 4/5 — Great info, just can’t login *2019-02-11, version 3.2* I can’t login, even though I double checked my login via the web. It’s still very useful as there’s a ton of information available on the schedule and you can favorite items then sort by your favorites to easily make your own itinerary. 🙂 ### 2/5 — Terrible UI *2019-05-20, version 3.2* Getting to the presentations is very difficult. Takes long without the web version. And no notification when the presentations are uploaded. ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2019-02-12, version 3.2* App was difficult to find concurrent session. Had to carry the paper program to find sessions. Need to have a convention map included ### 2/5 — Repeatedly crashing *2019-02-12, version 3.2* I have installed twice and the app keeps crashing. Useless ### 2/5 — Network with Attendees is not working and there was no User Support after multiple requests. *2019-02-11, version 3.2* Network with Attendees is not working and there was no User Support after multiple requests. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing and won’t sync my registration info *2019-02-10, version 3.2* Not sure how to use fully if I can’t get past a few seconds without it crashing. Cannot see how to personalize easily either. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing! *2019-01-30, version 3.1* I am trying to set reminders for sessions I wNt to go to. I haven't even gotten through Tuesday and it has crashed six times. 😩 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
