### 5/5 — Good not great

*2025-03-07*

Not so good for networking as you cannot do outreach to specific people and connect with them. There should 5-6 credits in the system to see contact info. Most speakers didn’t have LinkedIn. Hard to connect as there are 8000 people so running into that person you want to talk based on their bio is not likely. With ai, seems there could be better matching and suggestions for connecting. Great event tho!

### 4/5 — Session end times are truncated

*2024-03-05*

The website is so much better than the app! The app seems like it was developed for tablets, not phones. Please make the responsive app design so pages can be rotated and viewed horizontally, not just vertically. When using my 6” screen (iPhone) it only views vertically and cuts important information off, like the end times for sessions. I’d really like to see when a session ends so I can schedule my next session at the right time.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our apps and support our attendees as they navigate the event. We'll share this feedback with our app development team and discuss potential solutions. Please feel free to email us at techsupport@sxsw.com if you require any additional assistance in the meantime.

### 2/5 — Directory basics

*2024-03-04*

The directory allows you the star/favorite attendees but then offers no way to review who you’ve started. Strikes me as a waste of time.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our apps and support our attendees as they navigate the event. The good news is that you can find all the attendees you've favorited in the Favorites section of My SXSW EDU. Additionally, you'll have access to our Attendee Networking database until Fall 2024. Please feel free to email us at techsupport@sxsw.com if you require any additional assistance in the meantime.

### 2/5 — Navigating this App was cumbersome

*2023-03-08*

Unfortunately, i found it difficult to navigate the app.   It was cumbersome to navigate the workshop content to make meaningful selections.   In addition, the app layout seemed to change daily so I couldn’t retrace my schedule or follow up easily.  There seemed to be large gaps in scheduling and then all of the interesting workshops had overlap.

### 4/5 — Better than other conference apps ive used

*2020-03-06*

I particularly like the ability to find out who is attending and contact them through the app.  Really enhances the networking benefits of conferences.

### 5/5 — Great Conference & Equally Great App

*2020-02-28*

Most apps created for conferences pale in comparison to how great of a resource this is. Helps plan your schedule and connect with other attendees.

### 3/5 — Visual cue

*2019-03-05*

I’m a visual person and being able to use the map as a starting point to click and browse would be helpful

### 5/5 — SXSX EDU

*2019-03-03*

The app works wonderfully, it is not buggy. Push notifications are great reminders for upcoming events!

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-02-26, version 8.0*

This app needs some medical attention. Every time I use the app, there is a glitch.

### 1/5 — Way too many ads, main features don't work

*2017-03-08*

The ads are annoying and cumbersome, and have caused me to dislike the advertiser.

None of the networking or social features work.

It's good for finding sessions, but otherwise it's obnoxious.
