What do you like best about Whova?

I found the Whova app great both before my conference and during the conference. It was a great way to prepare for the confernece and select my seminars. Once I was at the event, I used it for note taking, mapping of the event and reaching out to other conference participants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I would have liked an easy way to transfer my seminar notes to my email or to a Google Doc. My school sent several of us to the conference and we like to share notes and information with each other and our school community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whova solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Whova I didn't need to carry around a bunch of hard copies of conference material. Much easier to navigate on my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whova?

I used Whova for the first time at a conference this summer. From the ease of downloading and set-up using pre-populated data from my organization profile import to the in-meeting, in-session usage of the app's features, it was wonderful to have everything I could have needed to access in an easy-to-find and accessible singular place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I actually don't think I experienced a downside of using the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whova solving and how is that benefiting you?

Whova has replaced the need for a conference brochure or any printed materials and gave us as conference attendees a one-stop spot to engage with all of the event details, maps of the venue, resources to access later to complement programming, as well as ways for attendees to engage and interact with each other in a fun and entertaining way. This benefitted me by ensuring I didn't have too many materials to balance and with the ease of use, was never more than a click and a moment away from finding my agenda or information I needed to make the most of my event.

What do you like best about Whova?

All Registered attendees for the show, contain the contact information within APP. Can communicate within APP with attendees very easily. Agenda personalilzation feature. Can export attendee list, at any time. Can scan via app and no cost for this. Very easy to use. Great APP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I honestly have nothing to say negatively. I guess I could say, I received too many messages via APP, but it is because I did not change my notifications within settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whova solving and how is that benefiting you?

No longer need to pay for 'show' lead retreival systems. Scanning feature is great within APP. I can get ALL attendees within APP, not just those that stopped by my booth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whova?

I love the audience feature. It allows me to meet my audience virtually before I speak and engage with them through the Questions from My Audience section. This interaction helps me prepare for hard-hitting questions in advance and clear up any misunderstandings afterward, ensuring a more effective and engaging session.

Additionally, I enjoyed the Speaker and VIP Chat Room. This feature was essential for organizing incidentals with my fellow speakers, facilitating seamless coordination, and enhancing the overall experience. For instance, we quickly resolved last-minute changes and shared valuable insights, making the event smoother and more enjoyable for everyone involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

The only drawback I encountered was tracking new replies or questions among the many existing ones. This was particularly challenging when using the application on a cell phone. It would be helpful if new replies were highlighted or displayed in a different color. This change would make it easier to quickly identify and respond to new interactions, enhancing the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whova solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organizing educational conferences and conventions for a state as large and diverse as Florida can be challenging at the best of times. The Whova app made coordinating sessions, speakers, and participants much easier. We have used other apps in the past, but they often proved cumbersome or only mediocre. In contrast, the Whova app was a refreshing change for the better. Its user-friendly interface, efficient scheduling tools, and seamless communication features significantly enhanced our event planning process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was able to share contact information and initiate a meeting via a text. it was great to get the awkward introduction out of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

Not all the contact information was available when someone shared. It was either email or telephone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whova solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping 250 + people on schedule without announcements was great. There was one place to look for a schedule, contacts, and topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whova?

I attended a conference virtually this year. The Whova app allowed me to still have the in-person ammenities of collaboration with other educators, direct Q&A with presenters, ease of access for session handouts, and ability to schedule my time with ease. There was very little lag in the feed allowing me to maintain that real-time feel though I was distance learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I would like to have more choice in which notifications I received. The ability to turn off specific notifications, while allowing others would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whova solving and how is that benefiting you?

Whova gives me great reminders of upcoming sessions that I have scheduled. It allows me to participate in conferences virtually, as well as links me to other professionals with whom I've been able to collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whova?

The most helpful feature of Whova is the comprehensive agenda, which is easily accessible for all attendees. Everyone can view each other’s profiles, fostering networking opportunities. The ability to upload and access photos is another great touch. Additionally, during sessions, it’s simple to ask questions directly through the app, enhancing engagement and interaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

There are no downsides to Whova. It’s a modern app that provides easy access to all event features, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Whova solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the business problems solved by the Whova app is the elimination of paper agendas, promoting a more sustainable approach. Additionally, it facilitates easy networking, allowing users to connect effortlessly with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whova?

I used the WHOVA app for the first time as a participant of the NAWDP Business Services Academy. Everyday, I would open the app to confirm my daily workshops and more importantly, to network with fellow participants from across the nation. I have added more people to my LinkedIn profile as a result of the app. For introverts such as myself, this was the best way to familiarize myself with colleagues and create some engaging activities along the way. Everyone likes a little competition, and the WHOVA app allowed us to be compete in a friendly challenge while making 'new friends' in the process. I can't wait to share this product with my Boston colleagues for their future events and conferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the app for networking and creating more connections while attending events Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whova?

I would be great to have a digital notebook where one can access all notes instead of going into the session to access notes. Having a digital notebook as an icon to access all notes at a time would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connecting with people and navigating events and sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
