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 ### 2/5 — Not real useful *2025-01-21, version 4.52.6* Not a real useful app ### 3/5 — Need to be able to export contact details *2024-02-05, version 4.40.36* Great app, fantastic and easy to gain contact details via the phone app…. But now I have to manually export the contacts into an excel 1 by 1…. ### 5/5 — Beater than last time *2024-01-29* This app was so helpful from the beginning getting our pass to finding everything we need. Great job ### 5/5 — Music Galore *2024-01-28* Everything music under many roofs. It has been. Fun education event. Many of the exhibitions have been informative as well as I took a few classes. This was my 1st NAMM show and I would like to come back each year. Overall music vibe from working musicians and also the NAMM visitors/guests ### 3/5 — Not Full Screen *2024-01-27* Not full screen, so don’t bother downloading on your iPad because it displays just like it would on your iPhone. ### 4/5 — We can go back *2024-01-25* I have no problem getting ### 3/5 — I can get my car back home with *2024-01-25* We will be in a lot to do ### 3/5 — Where is my badge? That should be the easiest thing to find. *2024-01-24, version 4.40.30* Right? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Confusing and Hard to Find Events *2025-01-24, version 4.52.6* Hard to find and list events ### 1/5 — awful app *2025-01-23, version 4.52.6* Terrible, zero stars. Amateurs. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible Apple *2024-01-29, version 4.40.36* Slow, glitchy , uselessly organized ### 1/5 — Pretty useless *2024-01-28, version 4.40.36* I’m here and this app needs much improvement… ### 1/5 — ☹️ *2024-01-27, version 4.40.36* 🤐 ### 1/5 — Artist *2024-01-26, version 4.40.36* App is useless. Namm is too cheap to create a virtual show map with numbers and exhibitors in the app. Funny,Namm is about moving forward with tech and music, but your in the dark ages with your app. ### 1/5 — Not as good as previous versions. *2024-01-25* I’ve simply given up on it. I don’t have anymore time that I’m willing to waste trying to setup my account so I can use its basic planning features. The map feature is not helpful in that it doesn’t resolve enough booth titles unless you blow it up to a small segment of the convention floor. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2024-01-25, version 4.40.30* Pages constantly crash or don’t load. ### 1/5 — Toooo complicated *2024-01-23, version 4.40.30* This app is tooooo complicated to use! And MFRs can put in their sign up lists for training sessions… BUT, you have to somehow be on site to get your bar code scanned BEFORE you CAN schedule! This seems counterintuitive! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Review of NAMM APP *2025-01-22, version 4.52.6* Fantastic. Best I have seen. ### 5/5 — Show Time *2025-01-22, version 4.52.6* Great app ! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-01-18, version 4.52.6* Everything a conference app should be ### 5/5 — Super Helpful! *2025-01-09, version 4.52.6* This app helps so much for scheduling the event! ### 5/5 — One Of The Best Apps .. EVER !!! *2024-03-02* Thank you Team NAMM, firstly for a truly amazing show .. WOW !!! So much to be excited about !!! Plus, to navigate all the wonderful content, the NAMM+ App .. INCREDIBLE !!! As someone attending NAMM 2024 virtually from outside the US, the App is a blessing; and in the future when I attend in person it’s going to be great too .. can’t wait for that! So happy to be attending NAMM in 2024, with this brilliant App to get me to where I want to be! One suggestion to make the App even more valuable, would be to make the NAMM content available possibly on a subscription basis for longer, so we could all take in more of it, as well as revisit it. That would be SO GOOD !!! Thanks, again for a great show and a great app! BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … from Steve in 🇦🇺 !!! 😀 .. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 … ### 5/5 — NAMM show *2024-02-12, version 4.40.36* For a first timer it was a little overwhelming on the first day, but after awhile just by asking questions and getting to know the NAMM app; this experience got smoother and more exciting! I hope to come back to NAMM 2025…I’ll just need to know on how that could happen! Thank you @thenammshow for having me… ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-01-31* I wasn’t able to attend in person but I purchased the online ticket. This app is priceless. It was easy to use and fill with so much valuable information. Thank you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
