AWWA Events Reviews

This ap is horrible! It says there is an update, but it won't update...only gives me the option to open because it's downloaded! Now an update alarm comes on every time I open it, but it's downloaded...arrrrgh! And you can't put schedule in chronological order!!! UPDATE: Had to uninstall and reinstall. Stopped the update circle and beeping, but lost all my favorites and had to re-enter them. So frustrating!!! Still a bad app. PNWS Section has a great ap...please re-do AWWAEvents using their model.

So many buggy issues that it's barely function. Previous interactions have been much better. Where did the ability to add agenda items to calendar go?

This thing needs tons of work. The Philly conference version was the best yet, but still barely useable.

I already had AWWAEvents but couldn’t go back from the ACE17 event to get to anything else. So I deleted and reinstalled AWWAEvents . Now I can’t sign in and there’s no way around it. How about a lost username or password option?

Sub-sessions don’t display room #, doesn’t say what track they’re in, app auto refreshes to the 6 am time slot when you go back a page. Use whatever technology they use for the Texas Water app please!!! Wow. We missed so many sessions because of this messy app.

All interface is slow. Please make it smoother

AWWAEvents is a joke. It doesn’t sync with your AWWA info and favorites, has exhibitors listed under the wrong names and scrolling through the exhibitor list is a awful - freezes, skips, jumps back to the start. Needs to include companies listed in the Innovation hub and various country hubs. The map doesn’t link to the exhibitors. There is no search function in the map - food, restrooms, etc. Map half the time doesn’t load. Using it on an iPhone 15 pro with the latest iOS updates, not an old, outdated phone. Only good thing about AWWAEvents is I didn’t have to pay for it. Otherwise, a total waste of time.

Almost impossible to find sessions, every time you navigate to a session and put it in your “my sessions” folder, it goes back to the beginning of the day and you have to re-scroll through all 70 sessions to find your place. Glitchy, AWWAEvents stopped working several times for no apparent reason. Could not open when not connected to WiFi, making it very difficult to plan ahead.

AWWAEvents is slow and freezes frequently. It was so annoying to scroll through sessions, which are mostly — but not always — in chronological order, that I ended up picking up a program book to make things a little easier. The map was not useful at all. It feels like there’s a lot of room for improvement.

So frustrating navigating through AWWAEvents. Maybe the worst app I’ve ever seen

Well, this year’s app doesn’t work for me either. The login asks for last name...that’s easy. Then ID...what ID? My AWWA ID doesn’t work, my barcode number for my registration doesn’t work. I get a message my email and ID are incorrect. Well, it asked for last name not email. I enter email. That doesn’t work. I can’t set my agenda unless I log in. Dumb! Update: the login works now...yeah! Enter last name and registration number under the barcode on registration confirmation.

This is better than last year, appreciate the ability to create an agenda. Issues that need to be fixed are:

App freezes sometimes when going back from viewing subsessions to the conference program screen

Filter reset themselves when you go back to the program screen after viewing a session

AWWAEvents needs to remember your place in the schedule - it always puts you back to 8:00 the day you were looking at with all filters removed - very frustrating

A paper list of all the subsessions and speakers would have been much more helpful than this buggy app.

AWWAEvents is displaying times two hours behind schedule as if I’m in the mountain time zone, but I’m in the eastern time zone which is the same as ACE23.

Even tho notifications is turned off, every time you open AWWAEvents , it beeps to say an update is available. Otherwise it's quite a useful app.

Now that the login issues are resolved. AWWAEvents is great for viewing the agenda, finding your way around the exhibit hall, and looking for speakers or attendees. I am not sure there is a better way to do that part of it. What would be great (and make AWWAEvents better) is if AWWAEvents knew what time and day it is and the agenda would just go straight there. Also something that would be good is of AWWAEvents would let you take notes, either in general or under a specific agenda item, and then be able to save, email, or share that info with others.

You can tell the developer has been working really hard to make continuous improvement to AWWAEvents and the functionality. I like it. Haven’t experienced any issues.
