### 1/5 — App is a Fail

*2019-03-06*

App will only let me do the 1st day survey.

It’s 2 hours into day 1

### 1/5 — Notes not saved

*2019-02-11*

This app enables you to keep session notes. After saving them and closing the app, my notes vanished.!

### 1/5 — This need a lot of work

*2019-02-11*

Inaccurate hard to understand seasons, location.  People wandering around lost

### 1/5 — God Awful App

*2019-02-11*

Useless

### 1/5 — worse I ever seen on the IBM events..

*2019-02-09*

Not user friendly at all..

You create an agenda and takes 10 min to find where is it.

Ashamed IBM made this for all customers using.. What a bad way to see how technology is being used!

Sorry guys.. !

### 1/5 — Add Session to iPhone calendar

*2019-02-08*

I need the ability to add event sessions into my personal calendar to coordinate and schedule with other personal events that occur during the seminar.  This is a major gap in functionality.

### 1/5 — Think 2018

*2019-01-22*

There is no Think 2019 content available yet

### 2/5 — Nice but clunky

*2019-02-14*

I put notes on my first session and they disappeared. I tried again on day 2 and they seem to be sticking. But I received a text from an exhibitor and closed the window. I can’t find how to reopen the window so I can reply to him. He’s not going to be happy.

### 2/5 — Think 2019 participant

*2019-02-13*

App makes we log back on to it constantly and doesn’t save my email I’d even when I click on the check box.  The search capability needs some work.

### 2/5 — App issues

*2019-02-11*

My agenda disappeared, community day sessions are no longer visable in the schedule, and the app hangs on iOS randomly.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Highly Recommended

*2025-10-08, version 7.2.1*

This app is very easy to use and provides all the information I need. Everything is clear, quick to find and works smoothly.

### 5/5 — Solid

*2019-02-11*

Great UX and easy to look for sessions and build an agenda.

### 5/5 — Think 2019

*2019-02-11*

Took a while to sync sessions but app is very usable and has many great features like Client Insights

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-09-15*

I

### 4/5 — Except for calendar plugin

*2019-02-11*

App Crashes when it tried to access native calendar.

### 3/5 — Some suggestions

*2025-04-28*

When I’m reviewing a contact and I close it out? It then takes me back to start vs taking me to where I was! 
Also let me text the person live and show phone number! 
Add a feature to request to schedule a meeting…

### 3/5 — Double booking

*2024-10-22, version 7.1.0*

Please let me add something to my schedule even if it overlaps so I can go back and decide which of the 2 or 3 is more important for me  

I can’t seem to find how to filter on ‘starred’ vs my schedule

### 3/5 — Review

*2019-02-15*

People were nice. I would walk miles to hear Ginni and many of the Innovation talks, etc, however this event was clearly inferior to last year in Las Vegas because:
San Francisco is a wonderful town but is a very poor choice for the venue. It was raining and cold most of the entire week. SF is always chilly except for early fall. May 2020 will not be much better with the fog rolling in. 
The Moscone center, etc, etc is complicated and not very easy to find where to go. 
The IBM assistants were quite nice but almost none of them knew any actionable details about the events and exactly where they were. 
It was clearly undesirable to have to stand out in the rain in line waiting for a popular event. 
There were several inspiring Innovation events but much fewer than last year which was very disappointing. 
The food was at best mediocre or worse. I only ate once at event. Not enough coffee stations. 
GO BACK TO Las Vegas or Los Angeles or......

### 3/5 — Sonja Ward

*2019-02-13*

The application and its concept is very good, user friendly. Glitches I encounter consistently is when I review an update alert, the application freezes and I have to close it out and restart. Also, when I am on the notes tab for sessions I have attended, when I want to close the tab to save my notes, the application freeze so I don’t believe my notes are being saved because I am forced to get out of the application, the Done button is deactivated.

### 3/5 — Good app, but need to add personal events

*2019-02-11*

The app is great to use, but not being able to add one-off meetings and events means I still have to try and keep my personal schedule synched up with the app. Adding that would raise my rating to 5 stars.
