"Custom agenda, event mapping, easy of collecting/saving contacts"
What do you like best about Whova?

Being able to create my own agenda; the ability to scan attendees' QR code to collect contact details, section for note taking, detailed agenda with topic overview, room info that links to a map. Also the community meet up to share opportunities to connect. I like that the info is availbe in the app even after the event is over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I disliked that whenever I went into specific about an agenda item, it would take me back to the full agena instead of my agenda (if I have that right). I really wish there was a way to bookmark meet ups instead of just adding them to my agenda to track/RSVP and really wish there was a searchabale way to find meet up I saw previously. I spent a lot of time scrolling to find meet ups I remembered I was interested in. Also, would like a way to disable notifications for select meet ups. If I made one comment, I kept getting notifications on meet ups I simply said hi in versus those I really wanted to track. It became overwhelming at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not intuitive linking w Linked In. I feel that there are any more features I could be using or have used to help me even more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whova makes connecting at conferences easy!"
What do you like best about Whova?

The ability to have all the needed information for our event in the hands of our attendees along with opportunity for them to schedule networking opportunities and share affinity options for gathering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

Some of the gamification aspect could be better when knowing how to earn points or posting topics. It can be a little bothersome with multiple layers to fill out to get an item, poll or question posted. Also would like to see ability to connect polls for sessions that could be displayed. (similar to Kahoot!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whova Made Conference Scheduling Easy with Real-Time Updates and Reminders"
What do you like best about Whova?

What I liked best about Whova at the AADPRT conference was the agenda management. Being able to build out a personalized schedule in advance made it so much easier to plan which sessions to attend. The real-time updates were a huge help too. When sessions ran long or rooms changed, I always knew right away. The reminders kept me on track throughout the day without having to constantly check the app. Overall it made navigating a busy conference schedule much less stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

My one frustration with Whova was the notification dots. There were red indicators constantly appearing throughout the app, and as someone who likes to have everything cleared and accounted for, it was hard to ignore them. It felt like I was always chasing down unread items just to get a clean screen. A way to manage or reduce those notification badges would go a long way for people like me.

"Clear, Easy Navigation with Flexible Agenda Creation"
What do you like best about Whova?

The organization is clear and easy to navigate. It was simple to see that the system would integrate my agendas as needed. I like the freedom to create my own agenda and the ability to use it as often as I need. I used it frequently, often on a daily basis. I haven’t needed customer support, but if I did, the options were available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

The previous/back button kept taking me back to the home page, so I had to navigate back to where I was or try to remember where I left off. The Community tab also felt a bit disorganized since it wasn’t categorized or alphabetized. I also ran into a small issue with the in-app survey: two questions that appeared to be the same offered different point values (one for 4,000 points and another for 6,000). If you answered one, you missed the chance to answer the other for the leaderboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whova Centralizes Conference Details in One Place—A Real Game-Changer"
What do you like best about Whova?

Having an app like Whova that brings everything together in one place is a real game-changer when it comes to organizing conferences. It makes it much easier to keep all the key details and information centralized and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

Not necessarily a downside, but it did take a little time to familiarize myself with all the areas we used for our event. Once everything was pointed out, it became very clear and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whova Makes Event Details Clear with a User-Friendly, Few-Clicks Experience"
What do you like best about Whova?

The Whova app provides the end-user with greater clarity of the details of the event/conference. Specifically, what I like best about the app is its user-friendly approach - very few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

Currently, there isn't anything I dislike about the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Features Overshadowed by Poor Usability"
What do you like best about Whova?

I feel that Whova is comprehensive, offering features that cover every part of the conference experience, including registration, expo booths, connections, meetups, sessions, and conversation topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

The interface is terrible. It's hard to navigate and has so many features that the whole experience is dizzying. I can never find anything in the app and using the app feels forced. The notifications are frustrating, to say the least. I receive countless app updates, release notifications, and notifications from the Whova team upselling me to buy their product. It's an odd experience - it's like no attendees are using the app - just Whova pushing messages to their own app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Information Distribution, Slightly Overpriced"
What do you like best about Whova?

I like using Whova because it's an effective and functional means to distribute information to our collective group. I appreciate the ease of use and simplicity when distributing information, as it has made it much easier to distribute information to our group for the upcoming fellowship year. Additionally, it helps streamline requested data and documents so that we can focus more on productivity than logistical needs. I also found the initial setup to be very easy.

We really liked Whova, but their customer service is poor. Is there a comparable service to try?
