SXSW® GO - 2025 Event Guide

This app has got incrementally worse over the last few years, it’s cluttered and makes it difficult to search by time which would be useful for during the day and the express pass system is unusable, if you are lucky enough to get through in time I kept getting bad gateway or website is busy messages which then mean you have no chance of getting a pass, it’s an awful user experience

Awful app. Just so much more you can do to make this a better user experience. If I need to go into here, you need some better designers

This is my lifeline at SXSW, hence four stars, but it’s far from perfect. This year (2018) features seemed to roll out through the week’s prior eg listings on favourites had no dates for a while, calendar links arrived late. Networking seems a bit useless and cumbersome. It’s a bit of a work in progress but with such a huge brief that’s not surprising. Keep up the good work & look at integrating social messages if that’s at all possible (yes I know it’s a different sub domain but please try).

They need to set this app up so it uses less data

There's a couple of issues but without it I'd be lost so difficult to be too critical. It would be nice to be able to filter sessions by conference track like you can on web otherwise there's just too many to look through. Therefore it's easier to plan online and use the app as a way finder when you are out. And yes it does use a lot of juice because of the iBeacon stuff so best to come prepared with a portable charger or plan some time to stop at a charger station of which are numerous. For the 1-star reviews - what on earth were you expecting? Good luck with paper guides and maps! Overall excellent work but there's a small bit for improvement. Hey, like all apps eh?

The app not only makes for overwhelmingly exciting reading at the amount of events taking place at Southby but also really helps to get things in order so you don't miss a beat!

Too many levels, the features are hidden. Events that require RSVPs should be more clearly noted

This is really helping me navigate the mass of events and sessions to go to. The beacon networking tool works great.

Excellent app. Really helped make navigating SxSw a breeze. Superb experience. Only criticism was that it did not have all lineups for the associated daytime sponsored parties. This would be an excellent addition and probably drive sponsorship revenue.

Great app, but insistence on asking me to allow it to pair with any blue tooth devices I had EVERY SINGLE TIME I opened it was annoying - I don't freaking have any, so the answer is always no!
