AWS Events Reviews

App v2.1.1, iOS 14.8.1. No login button or option on main landing screen for app. Just a banner for re:Invent that does nothing when I tap it. To get to re:Invent login, I had to navigate through “Find An Event” -> “Show Past Events” and *then* pick re:Invent 2021. After I login, the calendar is not populated with my schedule and the days are misaligned (i.e. starts on “Tuesday the 28th” and ends on “Friday the 1st”). For just a week out from the event, AWSEvents does not build confidence.

AWSEvents shows only past events, it’s not showing the upcoming event on the 29th.

Nearly every aspect of AWSEvents lacks polish and performs poorly, from confirmation and option screens which repeatedly appear and must be clicked through to laggy performance which drives unintentional clicks. At times AWSEvents crashes or “freaks out” with screen jitter. I really expect more from AWS.

Give an option to submit feedback on AWSEvents .
The navigation is broken and venue/buildings are mislabeled. Not a big deal for those who figure it out but can throw a first time attendee off into running in circles. Nice app otherwise.

Not overly complicated. See the catalog events and add them to your calendar. That and maps were all I needed.

So helpful!

I’m having the same problem as another user. Only a local event is showing up. No way to log in. I can’t see my re:Invent sessions I’ve registered for because it’s not local to me. Would like to be able to log in!

tried everything I could such as logging out and in, adding an event to the calendar, deleting and reinstalling AWSEvents but the catalog doesn’t display. it gives something went wrong error!

Missing a refresh button on the calendar. App is buggy and unpolished.

The main reason i use AWSEvents is to manage my calendar of events. The mobile app is unable to do this, resulting in an error indicating Try Again.

The issue I have is happening for every one need to fix it or offer Face ID or Touch ID

Doesn’t show my personal time
Doesn’t scale to show more on an iPad
Doesn’t allow you to export to Apple Calendar

With one week to go until 2021 reInvent, clicking the reInvent banner does nothing and show events filter shows no upcoming events?

I don’t see a way to do anything in AWSEvents. No events are listed and there is no way to log in to see sessions for re:Invent.

Can’t click into re:Invent event. Just see the picture and no next step to sign in.

I’m not seeing the event for AWS re:invent for this year 2021. There’s no option to log in or anything. No idea what I’m supposed to do.

I was told as a Virtual Pass registration, I will get a badge for keynotes and expo.

But the registration desk simply does not entertain virtual registrations.

Most events allow FREE attendance to keynotes and expos …. But not at AWS RE:Invent!!

I spent a frustrating hour plus in this and returned

Chat is pretty basic, no historic data stored

I can’t add any events or view any events.

Take 5 seconds to change a tab

Wishes include alerts when an interested session has availability, take me to the current time when opened, and keep it from logging me out for no reason.
Overall, it’s been a great help this week. I’ve been able to adjust sessions during the day and stay on task.

I recommend having a UX team review and redesign the flow of AWSEvents and the re:Invent site. Search, scheduling and calendar of events are completely counterintuitive. I shouldn’t have to click into an event to find the date/time of the event, then click on adding it to my itinerary to learn it is full or learn it’s in conflict with my agenda. Stop using 15m increments on the calendar; they are sized like 30m blocks just like Outlook but it’s 15m and makes the user have to look more closely instead of getting the info they want at a glance. Have the calendar actually scroll to the current time instead of making me have to scroll and find it every time, it goes to the current day which is good, just go to the current time as well.

Searching the catalogue is horrendous. For all of your wonderful products, how could this be so awful? Use proper tagging and indexing to make it easier to find what you want. On the results, put the ost important I formation first (DATE/TIME, Session name, short description, badging or indication if it’s full, maybe host, and a single click to add to itinerary or interests), then allow me to click in for more info if I want it.

Using AWSEvents and site takes too long, isn’t very helpful and generally frustrating overall that basic human interaction hasn’t been considered.

UI could use an overhaul to display sessions, calendar, and catalog better. Metrics should be built in to show event session capacity and potential probability of being able to make a session. At Re::Invent knowing that there is a low probability of being able to make a session as a walk up would be highly beneficial in order to properly plan where you go. On multiple occasions I made it to a session after 30+ minutes of shuttle rides etc just to find out that the session was packed with no availability wasting valuable time that could have been used routing to a session that I could have otherwise made in a different location. Interface displays too much information making scheduling overly cumbersome in some views. Sub par app for high profile events such as Re::Invent.

First, if you use a password manager, the login form is broken when the password is pasted in. The sign in button is not active unless you type, but selecting the field clears the entered password. As all my passwords are complex, this is horrible.

After a couple tries, the login screen stops showing the password manager options altogether, so I need to force-quit to get them back.

Then it becomes nightmarish because even with the Remember Me checkbox selected, it forces me to login again a few times a day. Repeat horrible experience from above.

Then, as I am using AWSEvents it tends to re-scan my FaceID every few minutes. I didn’t realize AWSEvents secured nuclear launch codes.

Once I’m finally getting use out of it, it’s OK but the UI could be better. When looking up your next session to walk 2 miles to, make sure you’re looking at the right place on the reservation screen and not at the bottom for repeat times (or on the repeat screen). Once I raced from Venetian to Aria only to realize my session was all the way back at The Venetian. User error, sure, but the reserved location should be better highlighted, as should whether you’re on the reservation or alternate session screen.

- AWSEvents has logged me several times even though I have the remember me option set. Having to logged in to double check which room I’m in is not the best experience when I’m in a hurry.

- AWSEvents isn’t always response, I suspect it’s due to the hybrid framework you used. I’ll have to double or triple tap the buttons for it to change the view i.e when I trying to bring up my planner but it takes a few seconds or doesn’t load at all so I have to push the button again. Ideally it would be cool if you use a native framework, but I understand sometimes it’s easier to go hybrid for mvp reasons. If native is not possible I recommend optimizing the performance of looking AWSEvents or looking other hybrid frameworks like react native.
