### 2/5 — Logged out

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

The app was helpful to navigate the conference.  I’ve noticed that even when I select the option to stay logged in, I still get logged out frequently. It’s a bit frustrating to have to sign in again each time I open the app, especially when I’m expecting a smoother experience. I understand these things can happen, but I’d really appreciate if this could be looked into.

### 2/5 — Always Logs Me Out

*2025-06-29, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

I am regularly logged out of the application. Though I click the “keep me logged in” button, it does not keep me logged in. Furthermore, it will not save my credentials, so I must key in my email address and password every time I have to login. Very frustrating. Additionally, There is a “add notes” field as part of each individual session page. I took notes for an entire session and clicked the button to email me the notes. I got an error saying the email application is not set up. Frustrating.

### 2/5 — “Keep me signed in” huh?

*2025-06-29, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Constantly have to sign in, even if you check “keep me signed in” upon logging in. An annoying ad screen you have to tap through every time you open the app. Not a good experience.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-06-29, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

This app is trash. It logs me out constantly, I can’t add sessions to my schedule, so I am left to just screenshot things and hope for the best.

### 1/5 — Can’t Sign In, No Support

*2025-06-27*

I tried signing into the app — my password and username aren’t rejected, it just flips me back to the beginning and prompts me to sign in. I tried deleting and reinstalling which didn’t work. When I go to support for the app — it takes me to the website and tells me how to access my membership.

### 1/5 — SHRM25 App

*2025-05-29, version 2.0*

App does not seem to be working

### 1/5 — Super Buggy

*2025-03-26, version 1.0*

This app is extremely buggy. I’ve had issues every time I’ve tried to use it for a conference. Now it’s constantly logging me out, every 30 minutes or so, despite me check the “keep me signed in” box. It’s extremely frustrating

### 1/5 — Awful, logs you out every 5 minutes

*2025-03-25, version 1.0*

This app is not good, you have to login regularly. What's the point of having it set up to have you stayed logged in when it doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Wont log in to phone but allows the I pad

*2026-06-15, version 7.0.0*

Keeps throwing an error when logging into the phone. Rebooted deleted and re entered. Still get a system error. I reached out to support over a week ago no response. Conference starts tomorrow

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-07-02, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Functionality was terrible. So many issues, logs you out in the middle of use.

### 1/5 — Have to keep logging in

*2025-07-01, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

This is a very disappointing app.  It logs me out and I have to log in….about 20 times per day.  I wish I could print what sessions are available to plan my day.  I would pay for a paper directory.  This isn’t doing it.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2025-07-01, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

App logs you out when you are actively using it. Does not allow you to stay logged in. Map is not helpful.

### 1/5 — Find a new app designer

*2025-07-01, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Horrible app
Constantly logs me out !

### 1/5 — Meh

*2025-07-01, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Constantly logs you out and scrolling through the schedule doesn’t stay on the day you are viewing … @adp ….great marketing to HR  folks

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

It is absolutely diabolical in 2025 to have to login to an app a thousand times in a single day, AFTER selecting the “keep me logged in” option. Who built this app? They need to attend the conference and use the app as an attendee first before making this an option for next year’s conference.

### 1/5 — Logging out

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

The app has issues. The most annoying is the chronic need to have to log back in.

### 1/5 — Clunky. Not user friendly!

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

The app logs you out every time you close it. Why? It’s for a conference, you constantly need to check it. Logging in each time is frustrating. The app takes you back to the first day of the conference each time the screen refreshes. The app is all around not user friendly.

### 1/5 — Too many issues

*2025-06-29, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

The app frequently logs me out, despite marking the box to keep my logged in. The pop up comes up way too often, advertising the conference that I’m already attending. I have not found this app helpful at all.

### 5/5 — Not happy

*2026-06-18, version 7.0.0*

I’ve attended every SHRM conference and I’ve never experienced what I felt this year. not only was there not enough parking. It was ridiculous. I don’t think they planned for such a big outcome. I drove around looking for parking and spent about half a gas tank. It was crazy. Don’t think I’ll be attending next year if it’ll be held at the convention center.

### 4/5 — Maps & Scheduling sessions “newbie”

*2025-06-29, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Would be nice to have printed maps with registration.  Also, as a newbie, wish I would have known ahead of time to schedule my sessions so my day was planned out better.  Thank you

### 3/5 — Access Disruptions

*2025-07-04, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Helpful app and a great way for conference participants to keep track of events and navigate a large convention center.  Unfortunately, it does not remain logged into the system.  This was the recommended in primary tool for managing conference schedules and receiving communication of key events; however, the app logged me out regularly despite using it every hour on the hour. Perhaps this is indicative of capacity issues on the server; however, with such a big event, it seems like that would be planned for in advance.  I hope this is something that can be mitigated before next year’s annual conference.

### 3/5 — So glitchy

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Not only do you have to sign in all the time, it crashes frequently

### 3/5 — Sign out issues

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

App constantly signs you out despite checking the “keep me signed in” box.  Super frustrating when trying to navigate the conference.

### 3/5 — Ok… BUT

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

The application is fine for the conference but it keeps logging me out even if I check the box keep me logged in. It is such a hassle to log in 50 times a day!! Don’t give me the box if it doesn’t work!!!

### 3/5 — Logging Out

*2025-03-26, version 1.0*

The app was fine overall but the consistently having to log in became a nuisance. I eventually just started viewing the overall schedule instead of my schedule.

### 2/5 — Constantly logs out,hard to navigate

*2025-07-01, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

App constantly showing the “Ad” whenever opening the app is a waste and annoying. However, not as annoying as having to constantly log in over and over. I actually had the app log me out “for inactivity” while I was watching a virtual session. 
Its easier to navigate the conference WITHOUT the app and just use the website. 
Basic info outside of session info is hard to find or absent altogether. 
The navigation (actual physical navigation to rooms and locations) feature is basically useless inside the app as well. The location tracking does not function and trying to select your starting point from a huge list of confusingly-named places is just not feasible. 
The schedule also does not work properly using the date at the top. Click the date, but you still have to manually scroll the list to the proper date and time anyway.

### 2/5 — Constant log out is the worst

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Mapping feature is so good; filters for picking sessions is useful; the experience is almost ruined by logging in constantly!

### 2/5 — Issues with this version

*2025-06-30, version 4.0.0(4.0.0.6)*

Auto logout is very short and we spend time constantly logging back in. Even if you check the box that says to stay logged in, it doesn’t matter. 

The SHRM 25 pop up ad that just sits there and every single time you have to click skip ad to get away from it. Why?? We already know it’s SHRM 25. 

Yesterday, none of the presentation slides were showing up. 

The session surveys have never showed up but we get asked in every session to fill them out.
