PAX Nav

This app ruined our plans for one day of Pax. My husband and I both registered for games at 0800 day of events, which is a pretty awful way to run things imo anyway. But worse is when the app was being glitchy so my husband uninstalled and then reinstalled the app. He did not hit the "unregister" button for his games. But when he logged back into his account after reinstalling all his games were deleted. As there is apparently no list that goes out to events after you register, he was unable to do any of the things we registered for. There are no in-app support options either. Pretty much wasted our plans for the entire day at Pax 12/07/24. Nobody at the event desks could help us either.

This app was definitely made for Androids. The in-app QR code scanner didn’t work for me, so I couldn’t participate in the scavenger hunt, but my Android friends didn’t have this problem. Also I was unable to register for anything due to crashes, but again, my Android friends were able. The schedule option is nice though.

The state of this app, the number of attendees, and the appalling lack of seats at organized events all point to one thing: profits. Once they have collected your badge money they have a vested interest in you wandering the vendor hall and nothing else. This app does not function but DOES work in frustrating you and your entire group as you try and fail to register for virtually any event that is even remotely notable. If you have ever heard of an rpg or board game then you won’t be able to register for it even if you obsessively refresh at the opening time. Very disappointed on all fronts. This is becoming GenCon.

The app was really buggy when we visited PAX Unplugged last year. Please give it a serious update before the next PAX U convention. Multiple attempts to enter tournaments just to have the app crash. Really frustrating. Please hire someone to correct these issues. This convention must make a ton of money. I’m sure it’s within your budget and will help bring people year after year. I’m dreading having the same experience with this app.

it's a bit buggy but it serves its purpose for when you're at the convention

Good for setting up a schedule of what you’d like to see (once you spend some time to figure out the ux). But, registration stalled or crashed every morning. Events were filled in seconds by whomever, somehow, got access (bots?). First time at event, we were very sad to miss everything but the expo. And, we really tried. (Inability to register for anything resulted in lines of frustrated, tired, people… long grueling lines far worse than I have ever seen)

God help you if you want to prereg for anything if you’re using an iPhone or iPad. Looks like Android users get preferential treatment.

Loved the PAX XP scavenger hunt. It was tough but I got all the stops!

Doesn’t have downloaded maps so when the signal is weak during the con I can’t see the maps

The app does not even open I got to the first screen allowing notifications and now it crashes everytime no matter how many times I restart my phone
