CrowdCompass is a versatile app that is widely used by event attendees to access schedules, event information, and communicate with organizers. Users have reported that the app offers a unique and interactive experience, making networking more enjoyable at events. The advanced functionalities and mission-critical security components of CrowdCompass have made it a preferred choice for Siemens AG and its subdivisions. One of the key benefits of the app is its ability to easily download and load event information across various platforms, making it convenient for users.

The use cases of CrowdCompass are extensive, ranging from regional to global events. It provides valuable information on schedules, sessions, handouts, event communications, and even social media engagement. The app supports gamification features, custom content creation, and personalized schedules for specific groups. This has proven to be particularly useful for small events management departments, as it enhances their efficiency and enables effective communication with attendees.

CrowdCompass has addressed several common problems faced by event organizers. Its ability to eliminate the need for printing handouts not only helps reduce costs but also promotes environmental consciousness. Additionally, the app generates additional revenue through banner ad sales while providing trackable attendee engagement data. For large conferences and events in the travel incentive industry, CrowdCompass has successfully tackled on-site communication challenges by offering personalized schedules and push notifications.

Integration with Cvent SMM has been a significant advantage for many users, as it saves time and provides real-time updates and changes during events. The software seamlessly integrates with other registration sites as well, making it simpler for organizers to provide a better experience for attendees. Furthermore, CrowdCompass serves as the main source of event information for annual user meetings and conferences, eliminating the need for printed materials.

Overall, users appreciate the value that CrowdCompass brings to their events by providing a clean and usable mobile app experience for any size event. Its features such as delegate lists, agendas, notifications, and maps have proven to be highly valuable for managing events and providing information to attendees. Push notifications are particularly appreciated as they enable timely updates and important announcements during events. While there may be room for improvement in terms of the app's interface, users express overall satisfaction with CrowdCompass and its contribution to enhancing the event experience.

Based on user reviews, the most common recommendations for CrowdCompass are to customize the app to meet specific needs, consider integration with Cvent for seamless registration and unique content, and explore alternative vendors for additional features.

Users highly advise becoming familiar with CrowdCompass settings and taking the time to learn all of its features. They recommend customizing the app to meet specific event requirements and being patient during the initial setup.

For events that integrate with Cvent registration and require tailored content, users highly recommend using CrowdCompass. They also suggest using CrowdCompass for events that don't need frequent changes in Cvent. Easy integration with Cvent and GDPR compliance are prioritized.

While users appreciate CrowdCompass for its event engagement, connectivity, and cost-saving benefits, some suggest exploring alternatives that offer more gamification and connection options. They encourage comparing CrowdCompass with other event smartphone/tablet apps and considering data export requirements.

In summary, users recommend trying CrowdCompass for instant communication, meeting evaluation/surveys, event engagement, connectivity, cost-saving benefits, and organizing large corporate events. They highlight the importance of customization, integration with Cvent, and considering alternative vendors if specific features are needed.

Suited for groups of over 50 for both internal, external and larger events (Conferences, Orientations, Graduations). It allows all information to be updated and at the hands of the attendee within minutes with all the answers there (instead of one-off emails/phones calls).

I would not recommend for smaller 40 and under groups as long as it is a basic meeting with not a lot of features being used (Polling, Surveys), everyone is staying together as on group as the system may be too robust!

We like CrowdCompass because it is integrated with Cvent, so all the information we enter in Cvent gets pushed out to the mobile app. That saves a ton of time on our end because we don't have to re-enter all of the details twice.

CrowdCompass is wonderful for medium to large events with a variety of sessions, speakers, and breakout rooms or locations. It's an excellent tool for planners to push messages and information to attendees and a great way to see feedback or interactions through the social wall. The tool is popular with our users with adoption pushing up into 80% and 90% for our recent events.

Crowdcompass is well suited for all types of events, especially those with a large number of attendees so you can easily connect with them. It can be used for events with sponsors or smaller events without sponsors or exhibitors. It is less appropriate for small meetings, where the group can more easily connect with one another.

CrowdCompass is great for multiple session events, when you have speaker information to share, when you want you attendees to connect with each other live, when you want immediate feedback, when you want to share documents and links, and when you want to cut down on printed materials.

CrowdCompass is not best for a single session event. You wouldn't be able to fully utilize all the great features with such a small program.

This app platform is one that will do just about everything you would need in a program for the right price. They look into many features and navigation options gearing you towards building a social media network during your entire program . Many features are available but not necessarily known right away. A deeper dive into this software can really open up your creative side. A mobile iPhone, Android and iPad friendly version is available along with the "web" view for those who dare to be different with their Windows and BB devices or just want to play on their PCs instead.

I've been using this for our big events for the last few years and it has worked out very well. Some of the login features are quirky, but they keep adding updates and features to make everything run better and more smoothly. It can be customized for many looks and you can use your own launch icons that you create to really make the app branded to your events. The attendee experience has been very positive through the app because it gives them the ability to network and makes everything from the program and speaker information to on site locations easy to find. If you use other Cvent software, it can all be synced so it saves a lot of time without having to enter the same details in two or more places.

Our clients love using the apps for conferences as it is great to be able to send out notifications in an instant and show personalized schedules. We have had a harder time implementing the app for incentives as most people simply want to enjoy their time at their leisure and not be glued to their phones.

This is perfect for any corporate event spanning more than a day, or with more than one session. I would not use it for a one session event, or a webinar. However, any time you are having multiple days with multiple sessions, this would be ideal to use. Even a single day event with a lot of concurrent sessions.

CrowdCompass is wonderful for the event planning industry! It helps make work more efficient and offers a wide array of tools for a more successful planning experience. It is hard to think of a scenario where CrowdCompass would be less appropriate. I am happy using this platform on the daily.

Highly recommended for any event, regardless of size. It was particularly well suited for providing detailed event information to attendees, and giving them the chance to socialize, network, and immerse themselves in the event experience. As an event app, I can't think of scenarios where it is "less appropriate" during an event, it serves its purpose well.

While I am not extremely well versed in the program/platform as we are relatively new to understanding its capabilities, it is a great option for those companies or event planning teams that are looking to start incorporating an event app into their event strategy but don't necessarily understand where or how to start.

CrowdCompass was well suited for our company's sales meeting. The venue was large with multiple events going on at the same time and in different locations. We were able to get communication out to attendees through the app.

If you use Cvent, CrowdCompass is amazing with the integration. If you don't use Cvent, it's still great to use with how easy it is to set up the app and to have multiple events running at the same time within the app.

It is very well suited for trade shows and meetings and some incentive trips. There are some incentive trips where it does not make sense to use such as on a cruise ship where WiFi is not very good and they also have a newsletter and communication system on board.

When the client is very adamant about branding (i.e. needing a private distribution app) and when having a basic agenda, needing to group attendees into multiple groups, and possibly modify an existing uploaded group assignment -- look at other options. When connecting to a Cvent registration site, personalizing agendas, restricting views on different sections, and grouping attendees into those groups all works great.
