Whova Review

Our end users love the app. From an admin perspective, I love the ease of set up. Now that we are a few conferences in, we're able to leverage previous conference info to build content for the new conference. LOVE THAT!!

Pros:

I love the engagement and set up is very easy

Cons:

It's sometimes challenging getting the right image sizes on the back end. However, it is very helpful that you provide what size they need to be. But, I end up doing a lot of editing and resizing outside of Whova to get the images right.

Reasons for switching to Whova

Our sister organization was using Whova and was having great success with engagement.

A great tool for all your conference needs!

Using the app made it much easier for me to get general information about the conference, sign up for specific sessions I wanted to attend, and complete feedback surveys. It was also a great tool for connecting and socializing allowing me to get to know other conference attendees by completing profiles and responding to fun polls. I would highly recommend this app both for its practical and logistical features as well as the ability to connect and network with your peers.

Functionality

Pros:

I appreciate the many interactive features of the Whova app. I attended a conference with professionals in the social services industry and the Whova app was a great venue for connecting with folks from different organizations across the country! It allows for scheduling meet ups based on shared interests, there are great getting to know you features like answering a fun icebreaker question, and you can easily navigate the logistics of an event using features like your agenda, post-session surveys, and building maps.

Cons:

I wanted to use the notifications feature to be able to track any important announcements related to the conference I attended. I found the number of notifications to be overwhelming, and I wasn't able to easily find the information I was looking for. It would be nice if you could identify specific notifications you want to receive rather than seeing all updates in all areas of the app (i.e. leaderboard, photos, polls, etc).

Great for a Fundraising Event

I've had a great experience with Whova using it for an annual charity fundraising event and appreciate the attentive customer service I've received.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The fee structure of Whova is far and away better than other event platforms I've used. We use Whova for a fundraising event, so lower fees help us raise more money for charity. Everything on the platform is super intuitive and user-friendly.

Cons:

It's not a con, but there are a lot of features I don't use on the platform so I don't necessarily use it to the most of its capabilities.

Reasons for switching to Whova

Eventbrite's payment fees were too high, whereas Whova was much more reasonable.

Easy-to-use app for conferences and events

Overall my experiences have been positive. I think anyone using a new app for the first time can be a bit frustrated by the unfamiliarity and purpose of the layout and features. However, once a person plays around with it a bit, the controls and features become more understandable and useful.

Functionality

Pros:

I appreciate the familiar layout from one event to the next. It makes navigation much easier! Once I fumbled my way around during the first conference that featured the app, the next was refreshingly familiar and easy to navigate.

Cons:

On the Attendees -> Recommended tab, screen space is wasted on my past employers where I am the only attendee. My primary interest in this section is to connect to other people with similar experiences or interests, so I really don't need to see the categories where I am unique.

There was no ability to check in to the event for registration of the event field trip Tours. This caused a chaotic line of hundred of participants during the Tours Days.
