Reviews for Cvent Events

I honestly don't get all the bad reviews. Our production company is using it at our event without issue. Granted, we aren't using the attendee functionality, just keeping track of all the general sessions and breakouts. I like the ability to search and filter for literally anything. It could be snappier, but so could the WiFi in literally every ballroom. So I can't fault it like everyone else seems to be. It has a simple and effective interface.

Incredibly slow. Tapping on any item often takes 10 seconds or more before anything happens. The default schedule view isn't smart enough to show me current and future sessions, it always starts from the first event of the conference. Then I have to try to scroll (which often doesn't work) to the current day. And don't think you'll have any better luck by adding them to your personal schedule. Clicking the plus button works rarely. In summary, something is seriously broken with this app.

Broken links to live events or significant audio static interference, making audio impossible to hear.

I can't screenshot the app. The profile photo uploader doesn't offer an image resizer.

I hate this app and wished the conference would stop using it. It rarely works and is a battery drain.

App is good. I used it for a conference at my workplace. Couple of things can be improved: 1. Log in interface could be better. I had to log in multiple times when I was adding the event to the app. 2. The event search doesn't give any autofill recommendations. You have to type in the full name of the event and that too, you need to know it exactly. E.g., if you type 'and' in the event search, and the actual name of the event had '&' in it, the search won't find the event, a bit diasspointing.

pretty easy to use. it was a little balky right after installation but that straightened out quickly enough.

A good, user friendly tool for organizing attendees at conferences.

Impossible to upload a photo then lost entire ability to do profile.

Clunky, buggy app! Drains your phone rapidly. No password. All attendees use same code to sign in. Despite many setup attempts, it never worked!!! Customer unsupport (Vaibhav and his manager Jyodi) were wholly disinterested in helping with the log-in glitches. Responses included: "No one would be able to help you," "A supervisor can't help you," "I wouldn't know how to help," and best of all "Who gave you our [Cvent] number?" There are way better apps out there for conference attendees!

When I switch back to the app, it takes a while to refresh. This indicates to me that its caching strategy isn't the best. Generally though this app helps me navigate large conferences well.

Very glitchy, doesn't register or remember responses quickly after selecting options. Needs work

Works great, and helps you plan your schedule for the conference.. I also like the new rating system that was added in the latest version.

The playback function is very cumbersome to use. It keeps crashing and flipping me back to the main menu of videos every time I try to fast forward by using the video place marker on the bottom. Fast forwarding through 45 minutes using the skip ten seconds button is very cumbersome. The screen also will not rotate so you can get a full screen video.

edited: once event began, the app worked flawlessly. previous notes; wont retain login information. defeats the purpose of convenience by needing a code to access each time.

Chews through phone battery like no other app I've used and makes my phone toasty. I have no idea why it uses so much battery when using it to look at my event schedule most the time. Everything else on the app works pretty well though.

some great speakers, key note speaker was awful. whole area way beyond freezing, no lunch options, super expensive parking. Government agencies can't afford expensive venues. move to outside of Disney area. Attendance was very low this year with quality of event on decline. Need new members organizing to bring in fresh ideas. Not very good this year.

Prevents screenshots. In addition to that no copying of text. With no "screenshots" you can't even use the Android built in hold home key to bring up the overlay to highlight and copy text /search.

Profile picture layout is not consistent. Profile and attendees my profile pic is vertical and correct. In the speaker module my pic is sideways. I have used multiple apps to remove metadata as well as tried using a screenshot from a PC. Some users see my poc orientation correctly and others dont. It's very bizarre.

Logging in to an event is a painful process. The only way to log in is getting a code sent to your email (username/password is not even presented as an option) and the email takes ages to arrive, if it even does at all. The first time it took about 8 minutes to receive the email. This time around I've been waiting for at least 10 and it still hasn't come. Also how is it that it used 2.3% battery in 5 minutes of screen time? Streaming video doesn't even do that
