EAA Events Reviews

It’s impressive that EAA somehow manages to make a worse app each year, but it’s even more shocking that they make it a completely different app each year that has to be re-downloaded again every year for a one-week event.

I hate the login process. I hate the interface. Give me BASIC. Maps. Schedules and airshow times.

Tried setting up three times. It says it will email me to finish and never get the email. Very disappointing

Maybe it is pilot error (no pun intended). It’s a mobile app but every time I want to log in it has to send an email link. No thanks! The steam gauge of apps

Tried to use it for the first couple of days, but at first it was the inconvenience of the search tool that wouldn’t display results depending on how you type in your query. And the worst and dumbest part is that it downloads the map every time you open it. When you are on an event that the Wi-Fi does not work and the mobile carriers are overloaded, the least would be having an offline version of the map. But no, every time it has to load it again, putting unnecessary strain in the IT structure and making you wait just to see what direction you need to walk to. Their little guide magazine is indispensable while EAAEvents is this bad.

I set up EAAEvents on my phone and was finally successful after many, many attempts. Now I’m trying to access my account on my ipad and it won’t let me do it. This worked last year but not allowed to access EAAEvents on multiple devices this year? How about just using my EAA credentials to login (instead of the convoluted new system) so I can access EAAEvents on any device that I want to use? Disappointed.

The main reason to use EAAEvents is to lookup vendors and presentations and then locate on the field. The maps displayed are just about unreadable. Looks like screen shots of paper map. Very disappointing coming from an organization supporting an activity where map/chart reading is a critical task

Why do they need my email address to use EAAEvents ? (Marketing SPAM - check out the Privacy policy.) Isn’t it enough that I pay to go to the event and buy merchandise? EAA. Greedy.

Eaa radio cuts out sentencing you to listening to repeated adds at a higher volume then the content. It is also delayed from air show and often does not match air show content. At what it costs to camp here EAA needs to do better

EAAEvents doesn’t save maps to the device, so you need internet EACH time you want to view a map. Have they ever seen internet connectivity at AirVenture?

I signed up and got my code and logged in. Then it ask for another code, which I have no idea how to get. Totally worthless. Don’t waste your time.

I was called away from my phone and my code expired. Now I can’t get a fresh code. Seriously?

Unfortunately, EAAEvents still has the same crucial flaw that it had since the beginning. The same event, like a forum presentation, which repeats multiple times, does not list all the days and times it repeats. Instead, the event is simply duplicated at different times. This makes it impossible to plan what day works in your schedule, or even find out if you have a choice. You can only, once you find an event, do a search for its title and hope the search catches them. You then would have to add them all to your schedule, and at the end go through your schedule manually to figure out a scheme that works. That there is no way to view the schedule by event, only by time and date, is such a crucial flaw in a scheduling system.

The map feature of EAAEvents is lame and annoying. The old app had an interactive gps map which was great.

Unlike other reviewers I find logging in straightforward and the maps clear and easy to use. What is missing is a good search tool. Put in “Theater in the Woods” for example, and it comes up with four events for the entire week. A search by a presenter’s last name also comes up empty. Automated index tools exist to make this a snap. Adding one would make this a five-star app.

In 2021 we only had 1 day available for AirVenture vs our normal 10 day stay. I Love the map feature to find exact venders and found the food map great for the one soft serve ice cream spot. Also really appreciate the seminar list and daily schedule. Thanks

I downloaded EAAEvents inspire of the negative reviews. Logging in via the email link was a snap, and now I know my even selections will be saved. I appreciate having a full convention schedule right at my finger tips, and I also appreciate all the maps in one convenient spot. Bravo, EAA!

The go-to app for all of EAA’s AirVenture information.
