Best, The Whova Team ### 5/5 — Great tool for connecting and learning *2026-08-07, version 12.4.0* I was successful at meeting people through Whova app messages, at scheduling my conference days and appreciate the ability to save posts to my own chart for later use. Scrolling through the on line in app conversations gave me lots of ideas that I found saved in MyChart and then could draw these together while resting from the conference. Only down side is that the app will continue functionality for limited time after the meeting. ### 5/5 — User friendly *2026-08-04, version 12.3.0* So easy to navigate and understand ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-04, version 12.3.0* Really fantastic event and conference app. Really easy to navigate, and would definitely love more events to use this platform. ### 5/5 — Whova App *2026-08-04, version 12.3.0* This app is so resourceful to use. I love how I can connect and reconnect with attendees of the conference. I can switch from conference to conference. I can star contacts swap information. I plan to refer all of my conference friends ### 5/5 — Whova for work/teaching *2026-08-03, version 12.3.0* This app offers a variety of features, yet it's still pretty simple to use ### 5/5 — Great for meeting people *2026-08-02, version 12.3.0* Love the app and it’s very friendly. Love from Jesus ### 2/5 — Tons of marketing junk from Whova *2026-08-01, version 12.3.0* Works well enough for a conference app. Not sure why I’m getting marketing messages from the app provider itself. I’m here for a conference, not to buy a conference app. ### 5/5 — Fabulous App!! *2026-07-30, version 12.3.0* Absolutely love the app! super helpful with getting in communication the organizers and other participants going to the event. ### 5/5 — Loved using this app at conferences! *2026-07-29, version 12.3.0* The app kept me well informed about where my events were and what they were about and had ways to gain points for networking and exploring the city. It really did help make the conference run smoothly. ### 5/5 — Easy and convenient *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* Convenient to chat, register for clases and interact with the whole conference in one app ### 5/5 — Super Helpful *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* The app was so helpful and informative and easy to navigate. I especially liked linking contacts and socials oh and the badges and pictures! Best part is you get to keep using it long after the event has ended and that is so nice! ### 5/5 — CPD Lodge 7 Delegate *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* State conference at Ten was amazing great venue. Only issue of concern was the 1st Day the Central Air seemed to be at 50 degrees. A bit too cold even for a Chicago Guy! Lol ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* Easy to navigate and fun to use! ### 5/5 — Very useable *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* Great app! I enjoyed my conference virtually much more with this tool. ### 5/5 — Whova & FASRO 2026 *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* Whova was great my only complaint would be the inability to delete or correct messages, and thread responses. Over all I loved the Whova app and the ease of access and navigation! It was a great net working tool! ### 5/5 — Exception Event Platform *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* Whova made it easy to get update information about the conference, exchange ideas, start communication topics and surveys, look up attendees and exchange contact incubation for networking. ### 5/5 — Make the conference and Event *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* The Whova App made the conference an event. From the networking and information exchange abilities and the schedule agenda options, this app makes it all work. It’s the best one I’ve had the pleasure to utilize. ### 5/5 — Great time *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* This was one of the best experiences I’ve had! This was also my first experience with so many people learning and growing. What a wonderful way to bring people together. Also, the food was amazing! I made lots of new friends and connected with new people. I had a wonderful time! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Whova!! *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* This is great! Very good for keeping track of a busy schedule! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forced to Trade Security for Functionality *2026-07-28, version 12.3.0* Doesn’t work with Nord VPN. Have to disable VPN to do anything in the app, then it works fine. Sooo… an app that is designed to be used in public places/large crowds wants you to disable the service that protects your data and network traffic in public places/large crowds? ### 1/5 — Insufferable Amount of Notifications *2026-07-18, version 12.3.0* Ceaseless popups for an application I barely wanted. ### 1/5 — desktop web app blocked on ipad *2026-07-11, version 12.3.0* user-hostile and it makes it difficult if not impossible to view session playback; please respect the desktop setting ### 1/5 — Accessibility settings *2026-06-19, version 12.2.0* Please allow for dynamic (large) text on iPhone and dark mode. I have a hard time reading content on the app. When I’m at my event, I won’t have a computer. ### 1/5 — Unbearably Overdemanding *2026-06-07, version 12.1.0* I don’t know who asked for this. It is intolerable when attending a conference. You receive countless pointless notifications; it insists on engagement. It’s 100% awful unless you want a full-time job dealing with an app instead of attending a conference. Just terrible. ### 1/5 — What are they doing with my data?! *2026-06-04, version 12.1.0* App demands full access (including read privileges) to add events to my calendar. Why do they need full access and who are they selling that info to. ### 1/5 — Glitchy unreliable *2026-06-03, version 12.1.0* Cannot see presentations in the sessions. Also removed my added sessions randomly ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2026-06-02, version 12.1.0* After the update, won’t connect ### 1/5 — Web is useless *2026-04-28, version 11.11.3* Forces you to download app. Will delete quickly ### 1/5 — Depressing level of self promotion *2026-04-16, version 11.11.3* Whoever thought that it would be a good idea to have the overwhelming amount of self app promotion is clearly clueless. There are so many ads for the app itself that it makes it hard to use and takes that valuable screen. Plz fix… at minimum create a toggle so I can use the app for the conference I’m attending without getting bombarded with Whova App sales pitches. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Migrant Education Program Conference *2026-08-19* Whova as virtual agenda app for this year’s conference: This app was literally like having the agenda at your fingertips- the ability to access the speakers & workshop details was a plus in addition to contacting any other attendees or presenters/organizations w/questions prior to the conference dates! Whova app was tangibly navigational & visually appealing! The ability to go in & select your workshops - the app created your personal agenda, made it an enjoyable process to select and/or change workshops sans being concerned about adversely impacting the presenters or coordinators- as the # of attendees was shown on each workshop. I don’t know what the overhead costs were, but as an attendee- the overall presentation of the Whova app was a really efficient way of registering & staying connected pre and post conference! I hope that the cost of the app itself was cost effective! Thank you for providing such an excellent resource to us as attendees! I hope this app served as a beneficial platform for the speakers & presenters as well! Thank you to all the intentional work that went into creating this experience! 🥳 ### 5/5 — Jasmyne Aseff BSN RN; Whova app review *2026-08-18* KCHRS 2026 using Whova app; I have been attending not only the 2026 KCHRS, but have for several years now using The Whova app. I have also attended many other events using the Whova app & in my opinion, it makes it very easy to keep my CEU’s organized, take my required tests to obtain said CEU’s, remain in communication w/ event organizers who need to send me updates regarding when reviews & tests are available & other information has been posted. The Whova app is also great about posting & offering opportunities for me to host an event, should I be interested! There are tons of OTHER events on the Whova app available for us to be a part of as well, that we may not have originally considered or known about that turn out to be really fun &/or really informative. They are wonderful networking opportunities & the app is really simple to use. I highly recommend downloading & giving it a quick look. You will not regret it! It’s very enlightening - what do you have to lose, right? ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-08-18* Useful app. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-13, version 12.4.0* Amazing ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-11, version 12.4.0* Can’t fault it! Worked well ### 5/5 — User friendly conference app *2026-08-11, version 12.4.0* I always enjoy when a conference uses Whova app for agenda etc. ### 5/5 — Ambassador Solomon King *2026-08-11, version 12.4.0* Great App with Great Connections ### 5/5 — BH *2026-08-11, version 12.4.0* Very good app ### 5/5 — GMHCN *2026-08-11, version 12.4.0* Conference ### 5/5 — Best app hands down *2026-08-10, version 12.4.0* Amazing app!! Super user friendly, jam packed with information, great way to connect and interact. Wish there wasn’t a daily limit on messaging people. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
