Eventeny

Using this for a convention, I was able to find the event, pull up the schedule, and mark favorites. The downsides, however, are many. Every time the app drops from memory, you have to search for your event again. Similarly, the schedule defaults to the first day of the event (even if it’s past), and doesn’t preserve favorite vs full schedule views. It’s nice that the app has maps, but the zoom functionality doesn’t work well and you can pan sidewise, but not scroll down when zoomed in. This means the map can be almost unreadable and/or hidden. Other schedule apps will cross reference guests, so you can click on a panel, click on a guest at that panel and see their schedule. Not Eventeny. You can’t even search for guests. From the organizer side, they seem to like that it allows ticket sales on the same platform. But at registration, they were having to copy and paste from the app into their label maker causing delays. I hope they take feedback and improve this app over time, but based on other feedback, it doesn’t seem like they are very responsive.

I have used this app for 2 years now for a convention that I attend and they still haven’t fixed the main complaint in so many of the reviews. Someone from the app even responded to a review from 3(!) years ago saying that they were working on it. You have to search for an event every time you open the app, there’s no way to save or favorite one that you’re attending. It’s honestly just so annoying.

I can’t click on half the buttons, including the feedback and help buttons, so I can’t even efficiently report that as an issue. Can’t favorite an event, so I have to search for it every time, since I bought my ticket directly instead of through the app. Can’t filter by favorites in the schedule, so it’s useless as a scheduling tool. All it’s good for is just viewing the schedule, which I can more easily do through the event’s direct website. Worse than useless honestly, since the “favorite” button gives the illusion of a helpful feature, but then doesn’t actually do anything useful. I didn’t discover this until after I spent a whole afternoon favoriting scheduled panels for a three day event, thinking I would then be able to view those as a curated schedule.
