AWS Events Negative Reviews
Too much garbage, not enough usefulLay off on the marketing and networking a bit until you can get the basics right. its takes forever to start up and half the days it would complain that i needed to update afterward. it constantly logged me out so it often took even longer. simple gps tie-ins would help getting to the talks as vegas casinos are ratmaze nightmares already and some simple streaming support in the app is both mandatory and MISSING. (even if it’s just a url for your browser) basics first guys!.Eshicks4Version: 7.2.6
Buggy, Bad Landing Screen, Obfuscated navigation for re:InventApp 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, this app does not build confidence..SecurePhilosopherVersion: 2.1.1
Map/Navigation function is not goodTrying to find things on the map isn’t a great l feature at all. The map always opens with South upwards (why?) plus landmarks/overlays disappear way too soon, or appear too late when zooming.
Finally for directions, there doesn’t seem to be a way to say “Navigate from my current location”. I have to set a starting point, which means I have to know where I am..BritGuyInOCVersion: 6.3.0
Horrible AppThe purpose of this app is too be able to plan your sessions for an AWS conference and it cannot even handle that. It puts ALL the existing sessions in your calendar, not only the ones you selected as favorites. Also, there is no way of filtering by your favorites either, nor to filter by time of the day. How are you supposed to plan your sessions then and know where/when to go?.DannysporeaVersion: 6.6.0
UX is just plain badI’m amazed AWS actually released this in its current state. After using it for a recent event I was amazed by just how bad it is. App stops responding to taps for events until it’s relaunched. Nothing seems to be cached locally causing painful load times. Scrolling favorites horizontally also sometimes swipes back to reserved..BgmncwjVersion: 8.0.5
Disappointing and rough-shodNearly every aspect of this app 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 the app crashes or “freaks out” with screen jitter. I really expect more from AWS..SatelliteOfLove81Version: 2.2.4
Not a fanCalendar won’t stay where you scroll to between visits. I go to the calendar, scroll way down, open event, close event, the calendar scrolls all the way back to the start of the day, I scroll back down to where I originally was in the calendar. Not nice..Blue bearyVersion: 7.6.0
Terribly buggy appMisnomered navigation items that mostly serve up web content that is duplicative of the in-app content and require additional authentication
Horrible schedule navigation with useless filtering criteria. Immediately upon checking in on-site, the app deleted all of my saved sessions.Maf5tVersion: 2.2.13
Calendar unreliable on mobileThe calendar shows a blank screen 8/10 time i’ve tried to access on mobile. That’s the most important feature while attending a re:Invent..Rae004Version: 6.3.0
Doesn’t loadSomething went wrong. That’s the only thing this app shows you. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling, reboot the phone. It’s bad when one of the largest tech conferences can’t create a functional iOS app..DontFretBrettVersion: 7.4.7
Catalog doesn’t workTried everything I could such as logging out and in, adding an event to the calendar, deleting and reinstalling the app but the catalog doesn’t display. it gives something went wrong error!.Lionel PJVersion: 2.2.4
No Log In?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!.RedeemingtimeVersion: 2.0.1
Doesn’t workSomething went wrong “Unauthorized”}
This is the only thing the App does, display this message, no reset, no login, nothing, just a plain dumb error message with no information..Ax ZeronineVersion: 7.4.7
Data problemsAll kinds of problems and especially giving us the wrong data about events.
Very Irresponsible of AWS and wasting our time walking from events to events..Attendee222Version: 6.3.0
App stopped workingFor some reason the app no longer works. I open the app and it closes automatically without me having done anything. I sought help at the aws event and they were unable to help..Devoncarter2003Version: 6.3.0
AWS won’t publish a schedule, so …The only way to see a schedule arranged by time is to use this app on a phone. (At least that the case for the DC June 2024 Summit)
There’s no web version
There’s no tablet version
So browsing the schedule by time for interesting sessions has to done on a tiny screen
This is stupid and possibly a violation of the ADA
As fast as the app doing what it should, it’s fine, but it shouldn’t be obligatory to have use the app.Peter BurkhokderVersion: 7.4.1
UI is horribleTrying to schedule events in the app is clunky. Often swiping on multiple favorites in the same time slot would flip flop favs and reserved. Plus clicking on the calendar entry was a struggle..TreatDealerVersion: 8.0.5
Loss my calendar after second loginAfter a long session, I was logged out. The app ask me to login again, which I did, and I loss my calendar favorite and register session..Windrider617Version: 6.3.0
Unable to add events to calendarThe main reason i use this app is to manage my calendar of events. The mobile app is unable to do this, resulting in an error indicating Try Again..Frustrated AmazonianVersion: 2.2.3
Can’t see calendarThe calendar view is broken. Just has a pop up that can’t be exited. Entire app is frozen at that point. Can’t navigate out of it.BillyD4Version: 7.5.1
Crash after openCrashing immediately after the app is opened.
The issue seems to be related to calendar synch..Revewer2020Version: 6.3.0
Crashes frequentlyThe app crashes frequently on my iPad and the only solution is to reinstall the app each time..JohnHalesVersion: 6.3.0
Poor interfaceIf you’re going to force us to run around like walk-up peasants, at least add event filtering by venue.SuavemintVersion: 8.0.5
It’s keep signing us out for no reason and we have to sign in backThe issue I have is happening for every one need to fix it or offer Face ID or Touch ID.Venkat ImmaneniVersion: 2.2.3
Frozen in the pastLess than three weeks to ReInvent and its only showing past events..RrfghgfeaqfhcddehyrVersion: 7.2.0
CrashesThis app hasn’t worked for me all week and has been crashing consistently.DominogoldVersion: 6.3.0
Build my schedule?If there’s a way to mark sessions I’m interested in, I’m not seeing it or it’s not working.MyNameIsNotMudAndHelloWorldVersion: 6.7.0
Could be better…Doesn’t show my personal time
Doesn’t scale to show more on an iPad
Doesn’t allow you to export to Apple Calendar.TheBazzerVersion: 2.2.0
UX doesn’t work well with large fontsIncreasing the font size for accessibility on my phone resulted poor layout and overlapping text.Na-9888Version: 7.6.13
Not an event appThe way app displays event information is through a bunch of in-app browsers. Which is a really bad user experience. Even reg didn’t seem to be on a proper reg tool.SinghBeardVersion: 7.2.5
Non-functionalWith one week to go until 2021 reInvent, clicking the reInvent banner does nothing and show events filter shows no upcoming events?._JBG_Version: 2.1.1
Can’t see anythingI don’t see a way to do anything in this app. No events are listed and there is no way to log in to see sessions for re:Invent..TriplebzVersion: 2.1.1
No events showingThe app doesn’t show any events and yet there are scheduled events coming up like re:Inforce.DatarangerVersion: 7.6.0
Usage Tracking Is Not OptionalThere is a toggle in settings for “usage tracking” but it is reenabled every time the app is open..XxandrewxXVersion: 7.4.7
Something went wrongCannot use this app. Just presents a non-useful error message..CR477360983Version: 6.8.0
Keeps crashingKeeps crashing.MymjackVersion: 8.5.2
Signs out each day, calendar time line doesn’t updateIt signs you out every day and if you are in the middle of an event creates friction to get the information you need. The calendar current time line doesn’t update in real time so if you have to leave and come back to the calendar to get the current time line to update..Ryanm24Version: 7.2.6
No space in sessionsIt is disappointing that most of the sessions are full, long before the scheduled start. Perhaps arrange larger venues for the sessions..AKV777Version: 6.9.0
Why no Landscape?This app is designed for portrait-mode phone only and iPhone/iPad users that take advantage of landscape mode for screen real-estate are not able to use this app because it only supports Portrait mode. This app should adapt to the screen orientation, including Landscape, and take advantage of the available screen real-estate for the best user experience..Mk-toronto-canadaVersion: 1.3.1
Constantly crashing and slowThe app is incredibly buggy. Mine is currently stuck in a reset loop and I can’t access anything.
When it isn’t crashing it’s incredibly slow and hard to navigate. If this is an amplify app, it’s not a great look.Mike NoseworthyVersion: 1.3.1
Super buggy. Find a backup plan for your schedule.Often doesn’t load schedule at all. Event maps don’t exist. Terrible app experience..HadmackerVersion: 1.3.1
Absolutely awful!I hope it wasn’t developed with AWS services! It doesn’t work more often than it does work. It is very slow — so much for scalability. It doesn’t seem to matter where, cellular or various wifi networks, it is always terrible. Crashes or slow or failing to display data is a constant theme. I expected a bit of a premium experience from AWS for an app for there conferences and events and it is not good. Maybe next version will be better. Definitely not consistent with delivering incredible customer experiences — if you see Jeff Bezos opening the app, slyly knock the phone out of his hand. He would be appalled..FirpoDogVersion: 1.3.1
Not for iPhone 6Open the app - wait for it to crash (white screen) and retry - it might load the second time.
Click “Catalog” - wait 10 seconds for the app to respond - wait for it to crash and retry - you’re now on the homepage, not the catalog. It might work the second time.
Click “Planner” - do the same waiting game.
Check your battery - can’t because your phone is dead..TjsorhgbeiwitVersion: 1.3.1
Very limitedSchedule view very limited, especially on a phone (requires lots of scrolling, texts disappears from display).
No option to share your interests/schedule.
No option to export/print schedule.
No sync of schedule between devices..Madcat 98765Version: 1.2.4
Bad UXDuring an event, I want to see where my next session is and what time I have to be there. The app doesn’t make that easy.MusikPoliceVersion: 1.2.4
