### "Partners"

December 16, 2018

5.0

We have used it for the last five years and will use it for this coming year. The Core-Apps team is second to none. They have come through for us even when we had a near disaster last year when our content provider could not provide Core-Apps with our event data electronically. This meant that the technical team at Core-apps had to juggle personal commitments with our schedule to get us live in time for the event kick off. So although this review is supposed to be about the app, it is the support behind the app that matters. The app itself is rock-solid and there is not much to say about it except it works (well).

Pros

Ease of use. The end users at our conference rarely come to us at the event to ask us how to use the app. For me that is simple proof of its intuitiveness.

Cons

I work on getting the content to the app. Typically we have a third party that provides the information and when the integration between the two systems works it works very well. Last year though we had an issue that was not Core-Apps problem but both Core-Apps and I had to struggle to manipulate the data manually. Not fun! In fact somewhat of a near disaster though, again, this was not due to Core-Apps. So what I like least about the software is that there is no work-around to manipulating data. Working from spreadsheets is ok prior to going live. Editing information in many spots is laborious and can be mind boggling.

Thank you for the kind words! The data manipulation issues are real, we have over the last couple months created some ability to make your life easier next go around. Make sure you talk to your project manager for details.

### "Great customer service"

December 7, 2018

5.0

Overall we appreciated the great customer service and high functionality of the app.

Pros

Though more expensive than the other bids we got for our academic conference, this app has the benefit of an API that pulls the information directly from our All Academic database. This meant that changes to the core system, therefore, are automatically populated in the app, saving us significant staff time. Speaker, schedule, and room updates are generated automatically in the app. The app included the full text of abstracts, lists of authors, and allowed the user to search and sort presentations by theme and type. It also featured My Schedule and My Favorites functions, which allowed participants to plan which sessions to attend in advance.

Cons

Searching for names on the app was not truly global. Some of our speakers found that their events did not all show in the search results. If we wanted their names to be searchable with the global search functionality feature we can support it here but it would slow down the app.

Over the past year we have worked to speed up search and provide greater coverage for speakers that are in the author blocks.

### "App Review"

November 30, 2018

3.0

Pros

Easy way to navigate a conference, and becoming the environmentally friendly choice

Cons

Too many reminders/notifications, time slots and actual session times differed, not enough customization

Review Source

Response from Momentive Software

February 1, 2019

Sorry to hear there was not enough customization and the session times were off. We strive for continuous improvement and client communication is an important part of that process.

### "We love CoreApps Mobile Event App"

December 10, 2018

5.0

CoreApps Mobile Event App has been a wonderful on-site addition for our conferences. Attendees love having all the conference info - agendas, speaker handouts, business partner directory - right at their fingertips. The live push notifications are a great way to inform attendees about last minute schedule changes and we have been able to sell them to Sponsors to help offset the cost of the app.

Pros

The CoreApps software is extremely easy to use and the completed apps are great! We have never had any issues in the set-up phase that CoreApps was not quickly able to fix for us with their wonderful customer service. Our conference attendees rave about the app year after year!

Cons

Some of the Sponsorship opportunities get a little complex for our sponsors liking. The options available are great, but sponsors often do not want to put in the time to take advantage of them.

### "Hard to Beat in Terms of a Conference AND Expo App"

December 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

It manages conference, events, and exposition content very well. I've never had an app that did all of it so seamlessly. Additionally, I strongly feel it is great value. I also really like the capabilities of starring your favorites, taking notes, and sending a post-show recap. Not only have I used Core-Apps from an organizer level, but also as an attendee and I found that feature very beneficial.

Cons

Navigating between show years is a bit challenging, though I'm sure that's a way to simplify it. I just haven't addressed it yet. It would be nice to also be able to edit an attendee's registration within the app itself.

We have several ways in which we can address this. Talk to your project manager and a solution can be found.

### "Love the simplicity and ease of use"

December 7, 2018

4.0

Have used app for several years. Very easy to use and customer service/support is top notch. Would rather the features be all inclusive than a la carte.

Pros

App is very easy to use and intuitive. Users seem to have no trouble navigating.

Cons

Admin should have more tools to customize and add data. Data should update more often.

Response from Momentive Software

We have a redesign of the user interface to help with just this issue, look for the upgrade soon!

### "Core-apps is great!"

December 3, 2018

5.0

Our attendees can see what everything we're offering at convention with a touch of their finger. They can create their own custom schedule including education and exhibitor visits and be as visible as they want to other attendees. The customer service is second-to-none. They are very responsive and available to make edits on the fly.

Pros

I appreciate that the software is truly turnkey. Many times in the past, I have had to spend hours working on the data to fit the box of the app provider I was working with. With Core-apps, we make sure the data is complete and accurate and they do the rest.

Cons

I wish the audience polling feature was included or less expensive.

### "First Time Mobile Event App Client"

December 14, 2018

5.0

We're excited to offer a mobile app to our attendees for the very first time and are expecting very positive buzz around it when it launches to our members next month.

Pros

The Core-Apps support team guided us throughout the development of building our event which seemed daunting at first. They made it easy and had great advice on what would work best for us and for our attendees.

Cons

Having nothing to compare it with, we couldn't say.

### "Useful App "

December 3, 2018

5.0

Overall, this is a very useful tool to conferences and meetings. It allows attendees to have access to event schedule and information without having to carry around a large or heavy program. One of my favorite features is being able to send out notifications in the app. It has helped disseminate information to attendees in an easy and timely fashion.

Pros

The app is easy to use and Core Apps provides good customer support.

Cons

Some options are not as obvious: One example is when you create your profile, you don't see yourself listed and our conference attendees think something is wrong until we inform them you will not see yourself in "attendees".

### "Core-Apps is the Go-To Conference App"

November 30, 2018

5.0

I was the co-chair of the first genealogy conference to use an app. It was a risk because it was early in the adoption of iPhones and similar devices. Using the app put our conference — and our genealogical society — on the map and helped create our brand as a technology leader. In subsequent years, we saw several other conferences use Core-Apps as their vendor. But we were the first. Team of customer support and tech staffs were fabulous to work with. They took all of our last-minute changes in stride and made us look good. You can’t ask more than that from a vendor.

Pros

It was easy to use both as a conference planner as well as an attendee.

Cons

Seriously, there was nothing I didn’t like.

### "I've checked out many other apps and none seem to have all the features as this one!"

July 25, 2017

5.0

Helps us communicate with our attendees easier and got rid of the big printed convention program book!

Pros

Ease of use, interface, design, customer service, ability to create your own schedule, and least inexpensive of all other products I checked out!

Cons

Photo uploads needs a bit of improvement. Would love a way to download all the pics at once, when the event is over (as an administrator on the back end).

### "Exactly what we needed."

August 3, 2017

5.0

Pros

Functionality of the mobile app and even within that the amount of customization. The single best feature for us was the ability to save schedules and share with friends.

Cons

Difficult to import conference data from the planning side. There should be a way to use event ids to upload in batch to the software.

November 30, 2018

5.0

I have a great experience working with Core-Apps over the last few years. Their customer service is wonderful. Their staff is proactive and helpful and go above and beyond to make our app a success. They take inquiries seriously and efficiently provide answers. I have nothing but good things to say.

Pros

Ease of navigation, efficient integration with our schedule and data, easy to use calendar features.

Cons

Floor plans and maps can sometimes look clunky.

### "The Best Show App"

December 14, 2018

5.0

We were able to save a lot of money on print as we solely used the app as our show guide. We were able to provide our attendees with the schedule, speaker information, exhibitor and sponsor information, and much more!

Pros

Core Apps was so easy to work with. Their whole team took plenty of time showing us how to work the entire back end system. The app itself is very manageable and user friendly to even the most anti-tech savvy.

Cons

The only thing that I wish was different is that we could have kept the list of questions that people asked during our live Q&A.

Response from Momentive Software

We more than likely can get the questions if they are in our system, contact your project manager and ask them to get the list!

November 30, 2018

Pros

I liked how clean it looked on the front end. We got compliments from our users on how it looked.

Cons

Their rules regarding GDPR were not well explained up front, and we weren't able to add what we wanted. Had we known their policies in advance, we would have approached our registration differently.

### "Core Apps is a stellar app and so are the team members."

December 17, 2018

5.0

As stated before, excellent mobile app with great functionality. Our attendees were very satisfied with the ease of use, functionality and ability to navigate. The team was great during the proposal phase, functionality planning, content ingestion, supplier management, execution, and customer service. Great product, service and decent price. I would highly recommend this product and staff for your event.

Pros

Core Apps had all the features and functionality of the similar providers plus additional that others did not. The customer service from start to end was exceptional.

Cons

I had no complaints regarding the software or the company. They met all my requirements and were great to work with.

### "Core-apps offers exceptionally responsive customer service."

July 25, 2017

5.0

Able to solve complex event structure issues while delivery exemplary customer service to our event organizer clients. Always feel that Core-apps has our backs and that any challenge can be mastered - or at least, dealt with.

Pros

Very stable, very configurable. Handles complex integrations well and allows for inevitable inconsistencies in source data.

Cons

Could improve metrics portal, but we understand that desired metrics are a moving target... Admin areas could also use some improvement.

### "Core-Apps Team is easy to work with"

November 30, 2018

5.0

Great team to work with, simple to navigate (in general), and good support.

Pros

Core-Apps is easily adjusted to meet the needs of whatever our organization faces and easy to adjust as items come up. That's the one thing I would say works best: ease of use and easy to update/change. Core-Apps support team is responsive and easy to work with.

Cons

We are switching to a new sessions management software, so this may be moot (we'll see), but the set-up for categories/tracks isn't that good - too much information. I'd like to see it sleeker/more scaled down so it's simpler for the users.
