"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.

"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.

"High Quality + Excellent Experience"
What do you like best about Whova?

My experience with Whova during the PRO Fall Convention & Trade Show was outstanding. Whova offered clear setup instructions, a smooth registration process, access to presenters' handouts, and a Certificate of Completion for each participant. I appreciated how easy it was to access and navigate the platform. I also valued the up-to-date information provided throughout the event, as well as the feature that allowed me to see who else was attending the conference. Every event I attend should be using Whova. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I have no complaints about Whova. It has consistently provided excellent service during the last 3 Conferences/Trade show I attended. Their customer support is great, I had a question about editing my profile within the app, and that question got answered promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing app to connect with other event attendees"
What do you like best about Whova?

Being a recent attendee to Women of Steel I found their use of the Whova app to be extremely beneficial in connecting with others who I would have not had the chance to meet otherwise. It was interactive, with polls and Q&A for the sessions, incorporated some meetups, and I was able to connect with some potential future clients. I love the way it integrates with Linkedin. I added a number of new connections and look forward to introducing myself. I am going to go through the attendees now that the event is over and see who else I can network with. Overall, this app made the event much more valuable than it would have been without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I didn't see any downsides to using the app as a guest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Loved being able to scan all attendees..."
What do you like best about Whova?

As a vendor, being able to scan each participant and getting their contact info was amazing. Usually you have to pay a lot of money for this, and while I'm sure the organizer may have had to pay extra, as an end user I really liked this feature. It's easy to show the benefit of the event to my team and to follow-up with important leads. The scanning was easy and the tags/notes were beneficial too. I also like the feature that the organizer could message everyone easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

The only real downside I noticed was the community boards and some of the chats. I'm not sure what they are, and how to use them best. I'm sure if I use this app again it will be more clear but being a first time user it was a bit overwhelming, and I was not sure how to interact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Whova app used for the NE HR Conference was amazing."
What do you like best about Whova?

Everything is in one place. From the hotel accommodations and directions, to the meet-ups, the floor map. This app is very easy to use. It is simplified, yet with many functions. You can send/receive messages, notifications, earn points, and see the leaderboard in real time. You can view the sessions, then add the ones that you want to attend to your agenda. During your session you can take notes right there in the app next to the session. This helps remember who said what and helps remember the materials. Also, you can add photos of the power points, so you are not busy writing the whole time. The notes and photos are emailed to you so you can retain them - no half-used notebooks with info scribbled all over them - that you can never find! It is all kept electronically and easy to refer to. This is an innovative app that I have used several times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

Only 20 notes/photos allowed per session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great app could be even better with a few tweaks."
What do you like best about Whova?

Having all of the attendees in one place and searchable by key tags such as interests or job titles. Huge benefit for speakers to be able to market themselves to a target audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

The amount of notifications made it difficult to know when a notification was from someone trying to make contact or just an announcement from the app developer or a “canned” message from the event directors. It became difficult to navigate person to person discussions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whova benefits participants"
What do you like best about Whova?

Dear Whova creators,

When I sign up for a meeting that uses Whova to coordinate activities, speakers and attendees, I am very happy. Whova makes it easy to track the agenda, meeting locations and so much more. I can easily see and message colleagues I want to meet up with during the meeting. And, after the meeting ends, I can view PDFs presentations to jog my memory of important points. I love, love Whova.
