"Using Whova for the Fist Time"
What do you like best about Whova?

What I liked best about using the Whova app was how it brought everything I needed for the event into one convenient place. The app made it incredibly easy to access the full agenda, session descriptions, and even room maps, so I never felt lost or out of the loop.

I especially appreciated the networking features-being able to scan QR codes and view attendee profiles, send messages, and exchange contact information digitally helped me connect with the right people and made professional networking feel effortless.

The interactive elements, like live polls and Q&A during sessions, kept me engaged, and the personalized schedule and reminders ensured I didn’t miss anything important. Sharing experiences through photos and updates was fun, and I found the app’s interface intuitive and easy to use. Overall, Whova made the event experience more organized, interactive, and enjoyable, and I would definitely use it again for future events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I never did figure out how you can download all the attendees into an excel spread sheet. Downloading the leads who I scanned the QR codes worked flawlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Whova G2 of Whova

Hi Gene! Thanks for your review, we’re glad you enjoyed the networking and lead capture features! Due to privacy concerns about attendee information, we do not currently support downloading a complete attendee list as an excel sheet if you are not an event organizer. However, if you reach out to your event organizer and they approve it, they can provide you with the full list of attendee information. Regardless, all the attendee data can still be easily accessed in the attendee section of our app without downloading the full list.

"Pretty Good for a Conference App!"
What do you like best about Whova?

The customer engagement was great, also the ability to have organizers and volunteers manning the app separate from attendees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

as an organizer it was very tough to find the Newest Registrants. The export report does not include registration dates, there is not any filter for which we could pull the report to just see the registrations as of a specific date. Also when pulling the report we could not find out the changes in registration easily- such as those whose registration might have been removed/deleted/canceled after the last time the report was pulled.

It was very very challenging to keep track of the list of those who completed the secondary steps to registration on the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Seamless Event Management Experience with Whova"
What do you like best about Whova?

What I like best about Whova is how everything related to an event is organized in one place. It’s super easy to check schedules, connect with other attendees, and get real-time updates without missing anything. The networking feature is also really useful for making meaningful connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

Sometimes the interface feels a little crowded with too many options on one screen, which can be confusing at first. Also, notifications can get overwhelming if you’re part of multiple sessions or groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great app, better than Cvent, though the UI looks more outdated"
What do you like best about Whova?

I really liked all of the features to encourage user engagement, particularly the leaderboard, but also the polls, discussion boards, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

My primary dislike about Whova was the outdated UI styling. I think I also would have preferred for the Logistics information to be more front-and-center since it was hard to find a couple of times. Maybe Logistics should be in the navigation bar at the bottom and the Community discussion board Or Messages can be in the Additional Resources section. I didn't use the Messages feature at all, so it didn't need to be in the bottom nav bar. It would also be neat if the My Agenda page had a Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whova experience"
What do you like best about Whova?

The thing that I like best is that the information is easy to find. I was able to review the available sessions, read details, choose the options that best suited my needs, and the agenda allowed me the ability to not have to remember what I selected. I was able to see my selections quickly with all information with minimal clicks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I have not experienced any downsides to the Whova app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Conference Insights"
What do you like best about Whova?

I loved the flexibility of making (and adjusting) conference agendas, tracking notes and making connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I don't think I properly connected my account across devices - so I had some information on my phone, others on my laptop and still others on my iPad. It worked but requires some cross-referencing for my conference summary report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whova App Review"
What do you like best about Whova?

Easy to use. Can have your schedule of events at your finger tips. I would have been lost without it. I like the fact it was user friendly on whatever device I was using at the time. Whether it was my cell, my laptop or my table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

The contest rules are shady. Some were abusing the rules. I know we are all adults, but some did not act that way when it came to the contest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whova Is More Than an App—It’s a Networking Powerhouse"
What do you like best about Whova?

Four Highlights

Effortless, real-time networking tool that can be accessed 24/7. Imagine access to networking with frequent usage. This is an added benefit for those conferencing from different time zones.

Engagement and learning about others interests and goals.

Access to all workshops over a period of time rather than making an impulsive decision on the day of the conference.

The ease of implementation can occur in 10 minutes or less.You can literally learn in less than 10 minutes. This I love. I work with adults with disabilities so learning quickly without frustration is a gift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

The number ONE gripe (my third time sharing)

There needs to be better control on the points. Attendees did not have integrity and would write one word responses to create a sentence to earn points. Essentially this takes away from the fun gaming aspect because of the lack of "real responses" to earn points.

The points should start new at each conference for each attendee.

I asked a WHOVA rep in customer support on how to turn off notifications on my computer and never received a response. I should receive a response beyond "sales". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Whova G2 of Whova

Hi Kenya! Thanks for your review, we’re glad Whova helped you boost engagement at your event. Sorry to hear that attendees were misusing our gamification features! Currently, for our gamification we do not have limits on how long a response has to be in order to collect points, but this is something we can pass off to our product feedback team! We also recommend that event organizers state clear rules in the game description so attendees understand the guidelines their responses should follow! An organizer could also use the content moderator feature to temporarily flag the attendees who are not following content rules. Our customer support team is committed to providing timely responses for everyone. You are able to block notifications on our web app by going to your web browser settings and blocking notifications for whova.com.

"The app is a must have for the event."
What do you like best about Whova?

The Whova app helped me see what was happening, and the speakers. It also showed me what company, and their positions. I liked that it added my interests to my agenda and I could easily nagivate to that portion of the app for quicker access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

The meet up section was not showing up consistently. I had to keep refreshing before the link appeared. The app never failed to load as a whole. The hotel was very large, and the connectivity and availablility was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing way to navigate through a multiple day event."
What do you like best about Whova?

I enjoyed how simple the app is to use. I really like how direct the titles of the tabs and bottons. Even with the amount of things that the app has a lot to offer, I was able to understand how to use everything in under 5 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I did not like that is that the first thing that you see when you go into an event is the additional resources instead of the description of event or things that are more relevant, such as the agend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
