The official app of PAX West, PAX East, and PAX Unplugged. This app gives you access to the full schedule, exhibitor lists, maps, show specials, access into PAX XP, and much more.
it do what it do
it's a bit buggy but it serves its purpose for when you're at the convention
Extremely frustrating, not functional
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)
Preregs broken for iPhone Users
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.
Worked for me!
Loved the PAX XP scavenger hunt. It was tough but I got all the stops!
Offline maps
Doesn’t have downloaded maps so when the signal is weak during the con I can’t see the maps
It literally does not open
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
Workshop Registration Buggy
I missed out on an event because the app is buggy. Submitted for Foamsmith workshop right when it opened at 8am. Submitted 3 times, once each at 10/30, 15/30 and 27/30 seats taken. Each time it took me back to the “enter your handle” form to submit again. Confirmed with the workshop runners that none of the 3 submittals took. That all happened between 8:00 and 8:01am.
An update for PAX East 2024!
