SXSW® GO - 2025 Event Guide

Shows SXSW logo, ad and then crashes. iPhone 6, iOS 8.2

Best conference app I used so far

This app is and has always been awful. For a tech conference that purports to be some swingin’ johnson in the industry, you’d think the geeks could come up with something other than this garbage.

Spent 30 minutes saving events I wanted to attend and people I wanted to meet and it didn’t save any of it

Looking forward to SXSW 23!

Apart from the crappy UX, messed up dates and times after midnight, it crashes a lot, then randomly signs you out and gives you login errors when you try to get back in. I am using the saved password which then works fine a few hours later. Needs Work!!

Your app is awful. Crashes every time I open it. Cannot link wristband. Not easy to use to follow. We are all making fun on it and the irony.

Still difficult to schedule a topics and sort through options.

The UX is so messed up on this app. Menu items are confusing: Schedule, Today, My Favorites seem to be versions of the same thing. Seeing just films or just bands is under Lists A-Z. You can filter by tags but not by venue, by date or by time. Sometimes the schedule shows my favorited items, sometimes not. Sometimes essential info runs off screen on my small phone. Events Nearby opens a “link my badge” window that is impossible to exit. It took me 4 days to find out there was a shuttle tracker. Two stars because it runs on both my iPad and my ancient iPhone. It would be better if you could rate 1st choice, 2nd choice, etc for events at same time, or place events on the map so you could plan things near each other. But Schedule functions well (I like the “free time” feature when there’s a gap in schedule). With all the interactive and tech focus of SXSW the app should really work better than this.

Please add date as a proper filter.
