Senior Convention Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One year down. There were challenges but it was mostly good. Attendees liked it." July 25, 2017 4.0 Pros The end result looks good and it's fairly easy for attendees to use. It's customizable and flexible yet still streamlined. It has banner ads, push notifications, and the ability to add/delete/change buttons. Cons 1\. It doesn't handle names with accents well. They don't alphabetize correctly and you can't search for them. 2. There's an issue with sessions that have speakers with order numbers (as opposed to a roundtable where there is no numbering). Whe searching for a speaker, the app will list the speaker's presentation order number (e.g, 1, 2, 3, or 4) first, followed by the presentation title when in all other instances it lists the session number first (e.g., 301, 47, 230B) followed by the session title. So it looks like almost everyone is speaking in session 1, 2, 3, or 4 when that is actually the order in which they are speaking in the session. 3. Each presentation is listed with the starting time of the session. So if a session starting at 1:00 pm has four presentations, they are all listed as starting at 1:00 p.m. We asked if it was possible to hide the time or move it to after the presentation title, and we were told no.

The main challenge is for content management it requires uploading Excel spreadsheet with markup for certain fonts to display correctly. This ended up consumed more resources than originally thought and planned. Pros Very professional looking. Lots of functionality to pick and choose Cons The back end requires significant investment of time and effort from event organizers. Review Source RB Rene B. Administrative Program Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Exceptional Customer Service" November 30, 2018 4.0 I would say that our overall experience with this mobile event app was very rewarding. We could not have accomplish what we did without the excellent customer service and support provided to us for both occasions from team. Pros Using Core Apps for the first time was quite rewarding. In 2017, our agency was on the hunt for a product that would help to facilitate the unique needs of our Teacher Leader Summit; specifically, the ability to push out updates to participants in real-time and the need to filter the plethora of sessions in an efficient manner. The overall functioning of the app was met with rave reviews from participants so we were not hesitant to working with them again for our 2018 Teacher Leader Summit. The customer service and support that was provided to us, especially with some unique, challenging requests, were superb! Cons The setup to having the volume of session materials uploaded uniquely to function in the app was proven to be quite challenging--that was not necessarily solely on Core Apps; but, it was a process that was painstaking memorable. Review Source Response from Momentive Software February 1, 2019 Rene, we have further refined the feature you are using to make it easier this year! BF Banai F. Lead Web Site Developer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We've een working with core-apps for several years and generally happy with the app and the service." July 30, 2017 4.0 We find the app very useful at our conferences. A lot of people use it and never look at our printed schedule. We also like the web version for those without smartphones. Pros In 2014, our other vendor broke the app with their bad info and the core-apps team worked hard to make our app work correctly the way we wanted. We see new features in the app probably every year. Cons The person in charge of the app the past two years screwed up the same thing both years. The rep this year was not very responsive or knowledgeable. We seem to get a new rep every year now. The app still has a lot of bugs in it on Androids. Our attendees have trouble figuring out how to do simple things because there aren't any directions they can follow. We had a couple years with improved ratings on our sessions and this year that just disappeared and by the time we can see that part of the app, it's really too late to fix it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Systems Administrator Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decent" November 30, 2018 4.0 Pros It can be customized to a high degree in regards to the theme at least. Cons The UI seems to be kind of confusing and slow loading. Maybe some of it has to do with the amount of different sources of info that they need to get into the app, but it just seems less intuitive than other apps. Review Source AG Arlene G. Meeting Manager Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Search Features not that great" December 3, 2018 4.0 Overall it was a good experience. Our rep was very friendly and helpful. She was able to help us figure out some work-arounds. There was a lot of work just to get a task completed and not having the poster icon be able to search properly was a BIG problem on-site for us. Pros It is a good basic app. It can do all the things that every other app can do - lists speakers, exhibitors, attendees, sessions, etc. We were able to figure out work-around for our sessions. We needed to have our speakers listed in each session in the order of appearance and the Chair & Co-Chairs needed to be listed first. Normally this app lists everyone in alpha order. Cons You can't search posters/abstracts by multiple fields. You can only search by the title or poster #. We need to be able to search by author(s), title, category, poster # or institution. You can't upload your own spreadsheets. You have to fill them out and send over to Core-Apps for them to upload for you. Review Source Response from Momentive Software February 1, 2019 The search features you are looking for are in your app today, and depending on the complexity of your data you should be able to use our client importing tools! LS Leigha S. Executive Director Industrial Automation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Core-apps for Trade Association" November 30, 2018 5.0 We stopped printing an on-site guide now that we use a mobile event app. There was very little grumbling from the attendees with this switch. We also needed to provide technology that attendees are used to when attending other conferences. We have a small team and rely heavily on the Core-apps team to be the technology arm for our conference. Pros This app is easy for attendees to use. The functions seems intuitive for my members as I rarely received questions on how/where to navigate. So far as I know, the app performed as it should for each of the conferences we used it for. On the operations/logistics side: the Core-apps teams makes setting things up absolutely a breeze. They are fun to work with while being efficient and helpful. I can't recommended them enough. Cons I feel we get good value for what we pay for yet I have wondered why apps are as expensive as they are. I realize everyone need/wants to make money. It would be lovely if the pricing would be bit less. For a small trade association, it's a big price tag. Review Source Response from Momentive Software February 1, 2019 Sounds like we need to get you a sponsor through our Amplify offering! AH Amy H. VP Business Operations Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Integrations Specialists" November 30, 2018 5.0 Working with Core-Apps has been so much easier than our last few apps. The last few vendors took enormous effort on our part to load all the necessary data. Core-Apps has been much easier and, once set-up, is painless. From an external perspective, it's a better user experience all the way around. Pros We've integrated a number of systems into Core-Apps and all are working great, and it has been a very easy experience to work with the team. So easy, that I was worried we'd have a mess on our hands - but we didn't! Our support team is so quick, easy to talk to, gets things done quickly and are always here for us. Cons The landing page for the mobile app download prompts was a horrible user experience, however, we asked them to change it. They did it within days and now it looks great. Review Source Response from Momentive Software February 1, 2019 Glad we could meet your needs! TB Tara B. Director, Content & Registration Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This team is AMAZING, we had some custom work completed and they were even willing to work overnight" July 25, 2017 5.0 This software eliminated many of our attendees worries from previous app experiences. We had the benefit of completely customizing the software to meet the needs of our event. Pros Ease of use, flexibility, ability to completely customize the product to fit our needs. This team was willing to go the extra mile in customizations. They allowed us to use the product in ways it had never been used. Cons Reporting could be enhanced by creating additional functions within the product. Reporting seems to be limited, however this is also an area I need to explore more with additional features that will be utilized in upcoming events. Review Source Response from Momentive Software July 25, 2017 Thank you for the feedback Tara! It is always great to hear about positive experiences with our technology. We are always improving and feedback like this helps us achieve our goals of being the best event technology ecosystem for the trade show and event space. VR Verified Reviewer Manager of Social Marketing Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Functions and Easy to Use" November 30, 2018 5.0 The Core-apps team was very helpful and responsive Pros I loved the modular set up that allowed us to add custom buttons on the home screen. This made for a great user experience for our conference attendees and we heard great feedback from them. The in presentation live polling feature was also a huge hit and very easy to set up. We've already signed on to use Core Apps for our conference next year. Cons It would be nice if registration was included. It's available but for a steep cost. Review Source AB Andrea B. VP, Exposition & Events Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Super easy, intuitive, great customer support when there are questions!" August 2, 2017 5.0 Pros The software is so easy to use. Anyone can pick it up and instantly be able to find what they are looking for without a lot of learning curve. Cons It is so easy, show managers have a tendency to put too much on the dashboard thus, making everything harder to locate instead of easier. Review Source Response from Momentive Software August 14, 2017 Thank you for your feedback Andrea! TO Toma O. Project and Outreach Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GoExpo Review" December 7, 2018 5.0 Pros We found the administrator menu easy to use and were pleased to have a manager assigned to our event who was able to assist with inquiries that required additional skills that our team didn't have. It made our life much easier once we got onsite and helped relief extra stress. Cons I don't think we had any complaints about it. It's our second year using it for our clients and overall our experience was pretty positive. Review Source Response from Momentive Software February 1, 2019 Thank you! MP Mary P. Director of Communications Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great event app" December 10, 2018 5.0 We've been using the mobile app for a a number of years now and I can't imagine not having it. Each year we utilize more of the features, for example this year we sent more push notifications and tried the beacons for a second time. We see usage grow each year as well. Pros The app is the first place I send attendees and staff for event information. The app holds everything and conveniently displays convention and trade show information in an intuitive manner. Cons The expense. Each year our committee asks questions about the cost, I do worry that they will ask us to shop around. Review Source Response from Momentive Software December 18, 2018 Thank you for your response Mary! We look forward to continuing to provide a feature rich event app experience for your attendees! VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Association Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sr. Associate Manager" November 30, 2018 5.0 The app is easy to use and give great reports. Overall we have had very good usage and we are looking at increasing our features. Pros I liked the how easy the app was to use. Cons Dealing with adding customization is not easy Review Source SB Sarah B. Program Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CoreApps Mobile Event App Good" November 30, 2018 5.0 We had a positive experience with the event app, especially with great support from staff. However, it's too expensive for us and our needs. Pros Support staff was great getting everything set up with the mobile app. Easy to use once everything was explained. Cons Lead retrieval had too many steps for our users and was very confusing. Also, the icons on the main screen of the app were too small and there were too many. They didn't have gamification, which our members like. Review Source Response from Momentive Software February 1, 2019 We hate to hear the missed opportunity for games. We have gamification. Device leads is a complicated ask for some. NM Natalie M. Member Communications Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good customer service, but not the most advanced features" July 31, 2017 4.0 Pros There are adequate customization options, like colors, icons, and layout. Being able to choose a background image and custom icons is also a plus. Cons Having to send app updates and content changes to a Core App team member who then had to update the app wasn't always the most efficient way to handle changes and was somewhat time-consuming. I'd like the ability to update certain content myself rather than having to go through someone else. Review Source Response from Momentive Software July 31, 2017 Thank you for the feedback Natalie! It's constructive feedback like this that helps us optimize our products and features for our clients and their attendees. SG Stacey G. Marketing & Communications Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Seamless throughout the whole process!" July 31, 2017 4.0 Pros The fact that it can integrate with our web site's custom XML data feeds, so when we make a change online, it automatically changes in the app. Cons Would like the analytics section to be more detailed...would love to know more demographics of users. Review Source Response from Momentive Software July 31, 2017 Thank you for the great feedback Stacey! It's feedback like this that helps us continue to improve our products to meet our client's needs. SC Sue C. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It has made coordinating speakers and sponsors much easier and saved time" July 31, 2017 4.0 Time saving and providing conference attendees with a way to manage the conference Pros Being able to manage speaker confirmation, uploading of bios, photos and presentations and agenda to the app Cons The software isn't a problem, I would say that support staff do not always communicate adequately and make errors. They also seem to have a high degree of turnover so you start with one person and get transferred to someone else to complete. Review Source Response from Momentive Software July 31, 2017 Thank you for the feedback Sue, it's constructive insight like this that helps us to optimize our features and customer experience. VR Verified Reviewer Registration Coordinator Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Event App" June 28, 2018 5.0 Pros What I like most about Core-Apps is the ability to customize. I've seen this app used in multiple capacities, all show specific. Cons What I like least about Core-Apps is it can get overwhelming with the variety of options. Simplicity is sometimes key. Review Source JM Judi M. Mobile App/Planner Chair Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Getting better every year!" November 30, 2018 5.0 Pros I appreciate the responsiveness of the team at core-apps in making our mobile app unique to our event. Also, they have worked with us to create specific content that works for our organization's needs. Their help desk is excellent and very quick to reply and very knowledgeable. Cons There are some very minor issues with non-changeable color choices that are difficult for some older attendees to see clearly. Review Source Response from Momentive Software February 1, 2019 We have a redesign of the user interface to help with this issue. CG Christi G. Senior Meetings Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We've used Core-apps for two years and it's truly turnkey. I recommend it to peers frequently!" July 25, 2017 5.0 I don't spend days working on our event app anymore! The customer service is top notch! Pros It's truly turnkey. I don't have to re-work my data to fit a convoluted template. The customer service we have received has been wonderful. Cons A feature we removed from the app last year was left on the app this year which caused some confusion for our attendees. It was resolved/removed quickly. Review Source Response from Momentive Software July 25, 2017 Thank you for the awesome feedback Christi! We think you're top notch too and look forward to continuing to help.! VR Verified Reviewer Senior Manager, Meetings and Expositions Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review" December 11, 2018 4.0 Pros Ability to customize different features Cons Cost of adding on different features for the the app Review Source Response from Momentive Software December 18, 2018 Thank you for your feedback, it is a valuable part of ensuring we are continuing to improve. KB Kevin B. Scientific Program Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Feature-rich mobile app with great customer support backing it up. " July 26, 2017 5.0 Pros Our mobile app has a professional look and is full of features our meeting attendees value. The development team had a positive attitude towards our customization requests, and a real interest in seeing us succeed. Cons Our meeting is not revenue focused, so many of the features related to exhibitors and sponsors are not relevant to us. That being said, the development team was very helpful in removing those elements and making the app feel like it was made for our meeting. Review Source Response from Momentive Software July 31, 2017 Thank you for your positive feedback Kevin! We prioritize creating event apps that meet the needs of our clients and their attendees. LR Liz R. Member Services Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sales and account reps are very professional and always just a call or email away." August 1, 2017 5.0 Pros CoreApps mobile app is cost effective. The sales rep and account reps we are assigned are always professional and available by phone, email or text at anytime, especially during a meeting --- when I need them most! Cons Obviously, we always want what we get for less money and for our money to go farther. More add-ons for no more cost. Review Source Response from Momentive Software August 14, 2017 Thank you for your feedback Liz! It's positive and helpful insight like this that helps us plan for future updates. AG Alicia G. VP, Business Development and Operations Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent, easy to use app with plenty of functionality" August 1, 2017 5.0 Pros It fits our needs, is easy to setup and keeps our attendees engaged. This is the perfect app for our biennial conference. Cons We have not discovered any cons to the software yet. You do have to create quite a few different graphics to fit the different platforms, which can be time consuming.
