### 1/5 — This app  doesn’t open or work via phone USELESS

*2024-07-26*

This is the most ridiculous app and is not user friendly. It has been such a waste of time and frustrating trying to watch a conference. I had to go in through a computer. It simply is terrible!

### 1/5 — Language problem

*2024-06-22*

When I download I
The app , everything showing in Chinese

### 1/5 — Terrible app for conferences

*2024-06-12*

The app resets you to the conference home page every time you minimize it. You are better off opening the conference website in a browser. 

You can’t copy text either which is essential for making notes. 

Generally a pointless app that seems to have been designed by someone who has never attended a conference.

### 1/5 — App won’t work

*2024-05-15*

Similar to what others have written, the app constantly closes when trying to enter events. Just simply doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Never loaded the video. What is the point of this app?

*2024-03-16*

Completely broken experience. Not sure why this app exists.

### 1/5 — Summit

*2024-01-30*

Impossible to use

### 1/5 — Unable to find the event

*2023-11-21*

Haven’t managed to locate the world hindu congress happening in thailand on 24-26 Nov 2023

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-10-11*

I have deleted and re applied but still does not work

### 1/5 — Never loaded video of the event

*2023-04-04*

I could get to the tab to choose to view, but nothing happened after that. Rebooted phone, exited app & restarted several times, nothing worked. This app fully failed at what it was supposed to do.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not able to search BNI events

*2026-07-13*

I’m attending BNI events regularly but every time myself and lot other members are not able to search the upcoming event. Like I had attended BNI INC Jaipur 2026 and now attending MMD 2026 but not able to see the event in search.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-01-05*

Crashes every time I try to load my event. Useless for the event unless they fix it immediately.

### 1/5 — Error prone app

*2025-11-11*

Too many errors to use the app reliably.

### 1/5 — Worked for one day

*2025-11-07*

Unfortunately, the day it worked was before the conference began. In the days leading up to it, it would crash as soon as it was opened. Deleted and reinstalled with no luck. Even the bug reporting option is broken. Terrible.

### 1/5 — Premature App Launch

*2025-10-30*

Needs a LOT of work!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-09*

In terms of utility at a conference this app is about as useless as it gets. 

It seems to just be a website long on no different than if I logged in through a browser. 

It is a shame because the app experience diminishes the conference.

### 1/5 — NCWA

*2025-06-08*

Not sure Why the NCWA Annual Conference will not appear.

### 1/5 — OSAC

*2024-11-21*

Not good- App failed to open and only ever gave error message

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-30*

App does not work well or join meetings

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-09-23*

This app crashes constantly and I have to deleite it and re upload it over and over and over. It's exhausting

### 5/5 — Proud of the Growth

*2026-03-19*

As a very proud Zoho client for over 16 years, I have watched the evolution of this company and app. I was very disappointed at the beginning of this app, but I realize that you guys are touching on every aspect of business, and I’m so proud of you guys. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Incredible App

*2025-06-25*

Zoho has brought almost every feature from their custom backstage  website to this amazing app. As an exhibitor to have a scanner for badge QR codes and our own special pages visible within the app are so helpful, including all the networking features they offer as well. I also like that one gets access to the gamification features inside the app. Great job Zoho, I look forward to seeing how this app matures. Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Chef

*2025-05-22*

Very informative

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2019-08-01*

This app is great for attendees on the go. You can access everything about the event from wherever you are. It is also very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Excellent event app

*2019-07-26*

I would say that our overall experience with this mobile event app was very rewarding.

### 3/5 — No way to close an event

*2026-08-05*

It has a serious bug. I searched for an event. Then clicked an event from the result. Now I have no way to go back to my search screen. I’m blocked under that event. Even though I killed the app and opened again, I’m inside that specific event.

### 3/5 — App Push Notifications

*2022-03-27*

Can someone please take a look at the app’s push notifications? I am running the most current software on my iPhone will all notification settings on however I am not receiving the push notifications? I am running a conference next week and need this error to be fixed.

### 2/5 — Needs work.

*2024-09-07*

This service/app hasn’t arrived yet. It took me several minutes to finally figure out that having the browsers that Zohobackstage recommend isn’t enough on a mobile device. You have to get their app. But, you you get the app only to find out it doesn’t work with the event you are attending and that you just missed 10 minutes of the presentation just trying in vain to make it work. I’m sure it feels cool to have an app, but sometimes it is a complete waste of time and other resources.  Zohobackstage should just make their service work in a mobile browser. There is hella precedent for this. And there is no compelling reason not to.
