Reviews of Whova
Great App - Easy to Use!
Comments: Overall, Whova is a great platform that I've used for work conferences. I enjoy the many different features such as the schedule (that you can add to your personal calendar right from the Whova app), the notifications when a session is starting, speaker powerpoints/materials available for download, community messaging board, and more! Great app!
Pros:
Whova is easy to use and has a lot of helpful features. You can customize your notification preferences and it fulfills several needs all in one place!
Cons:
The only thing I could think of is that at times when using it for a conference, there were powerpoints attached to the speaker's profile and sometimes it wouldn't load correctly.
Whova Review
Comments: 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.
Whova is a fine concept but has room to develop before it's an asset.
Comments: I had the opportunity to use Whova as a participant at an online conference. Initially I was excited by the idea of having forums to connect with other conference goers but in the end the platform introduced more noise than clarity to the proceedings.
Pros:
It provided a centralized place to see the whole conference agenda with relevant links.
Cons:
Whova continually advertised itself as a product to me as a conference participant. Notifications and emails were particularly persistent.
Great event software
Comments: Overall, it s a very user friendly platform with a lot of options. Even though there are features that require an additional cost, there are still some really great base features.
Pros:
There seem to be endless options and it’s really user friendly. I’ve been able to navigate it pretty well without watching tutorials or needing support.
Cons:
They have a lot of add-on features but for an additional cost. It just seems a little nickel and dime like.
It allows us to be informed
Comments: It allows me to always be informed and have the information always at hand because sometimes it happened to me that they sent us an email with the event information and I forgot. However, with Whova, their reminders are perfect.
Pros:
When there is an event, activity, or training, we can be informed through Whova very quickly and easily. The notifications always arrive very correctly and we can interact virtually as well. I also like that I can view the events and activities that they schedule in an orderly manner with the date and time
Cons:
It is easy to use and very useful. There is nothing I dislike
