### 5/5 — NAMM 205

*2025-01-27*

This was my first NAMM experience and it completely exceeded my expectations. A full spectrum of educational experiences and panels that brought insight and value to my efforts as a music industry friendly editor

### 2/5 — Great potential, Terrible application

*2025-01-26*

Given that the Anaheim Convention Center has substandard cellular services, any app designed for use at this location is doomed to failure. However… while the app allows the user to mark favorite exhibitors, they don’t show up on the map as favorite. Meaning, an attendee can’t see where their suppliers are located other than one at a time. It would be more helpful if the user’s favorites were highlighted on the map. That way, they can plan a route in which they can get to all of their prioritized exhibitors more efficiently and without wasting 3/4 of the time trying to find them.

The slowness of the app exacerbates this issue since it took my phone up to 47 seconds to load the map each time. Really frustrating!!

I gave it two stars because it at least listed the exhibitors.

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2025-01-25, version 4.52.6*

Almost perfect… but…. Location needs a “where I am” function. Having to reset every time is pain. 

Tip to exhibitors- I made several meeting requests. Never had a single confirmation. Understand it’s busy. Maybe delete the functionality.

### 2/5 — Challenging

*2025-01-24, version 4.52.6*

Very difficult to find panels/rooms on app

### 1/5 — Confusing and Hard to Find Events

*2025-01-24, version 4.52.6*

Hard to find and list events

### 5/5 — Huge improvement!

*2025-01-24*

So far the app has been flawless this year, 2025. It's been buggy over the last couple years, but has been seriously improved.

### 1/5 — awful app

*2025-01-23, version 4.52.6*

Terrible, zero stars. Amateurs.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-01-23*

This actually helps a lot I thought it was going to be one of those apps were it’s just to get revenue off downloads and practically useless but this is great I like the UI I think it works great helps me book meeting with other people like the co founder of Daddario

### 1/5 — Help

*2025-01-22, version 4.52.6*

So far I have been unable to log in and view a schedule. I’d like to view upcoming live streams but I can’t seem to get any info about what’s going on through the app.

### 5/5 — Review of NAMM APP

*2025-01-22, version 4.52.6*

Fantastic. Best I have seen.
