What makes Whova special? Whova's technology builds comprehensive profiles of attendees so you can view all attendee profiles before you even arrive at the event or conference. Plan in advance whom to meet at an event, what to talk about with each attendee and reach out to others via in-app messages before, during and after the event. You can also create casual meetups and arrange social activities with other groups of attendees. Whova revolutionizes event networking and significantly improves the ROI of attending events.

You can also use the Whova conference app to digitize and manage business cards you receive at events. Whova exceeds other business card reader apps like CamCard, CardMunch, ScanBizCards or Scannable etc. by automatically building full profiles using Whova's SmartProfile technology. This allows you to gain deep insights into your contacts' professional backgrounds, work experience, passions, and interests. You can also seamlessly connect with contacts online via LinkedIn and other platforms. Whova's business card scanning feature now supports cards in English, Chinese, and Korean.

Whova is SOC2 Type II and PCI compliant. These security and privacy certificates recognize Whova’s practice of reliable, safe, secure, and trustworthy management of user data protection and privacy.

Shocked at all the positive reviews of this app. One of the worst apps I have used. I can't wait for my event to be over so I can uninstall it. You can't select what kind of notifications you want to receive, it's all or nothing. I'm getting notifications for stupid things like tips on using the app. Give me a break and let me turn that nonsense off. I had to make myself invisible so I would stop getting invites, messages, spam, etc from vendors. The leaderboard is more extraneous nonsense.

Dear Alec, We're sorry about you negative experience. Usually organizers decide to use Whova because it enables effective networking and instant notifications. If you don't want to receive notifications for certain categories, they can be disabled in the app (profile picture -> "Settings" -> "Notification Settings"). Best, The Whova Team

I would have given this app a 5 star rating, because it has been a lot of fun for our event. However, the red notification dots at the bottom keep showing up when there is nothing there to see. It keeps showing that I have 38 messages, when I've read them all, and there is nothing new to see. It keeps showing new community events when no one has added anything. Other than that small annoyance, it is a fantastic app and is really helping out attendees get to know each other better.

Dear Bonnie, We are so happy to hear that the app is helping attendees get to know each other better at your event!

Whova has been an effective way to glance around at all parts of the conference, to click on where I want to participate, and to connect with others. On my laptop, I found the juxtaposition of the full agenda and with my agenda a bit clumsy to use. On my mobile app, it seemed much easier. But in neither case could I find any option for printing a hard copy of my agenda.
