CES 2026

Does not load past the splash screen

Still bad, still crashes every 1-2 minutes, and still missing keys features. Still no ability to add notes to the companies you favorite and plan to visit Still no way to go forward/backward in detail view of an exhibitor list. You always have to exit back to the main list (which usually crashes after you do it 3-4 times). Large waist of time when researching exhibitors. Still no links or menu to the CES Daily. But they added copilot 🤷🏻‍♂️ But glad that the pushing of the ads each time you open the app is gone and it's a little faster. So I've gone from 1 star to 3 stars.

How many decades have they been doing CES?

It crashed while just viewing company info.

Can’t even login after changing PW 3 times. Even called support but no help !

Trying to favorite vendors causes the app to freeze for a minute unless you restart the app. The interactive map repeatedly crashes.

The app doesn’t work! I’ve been trying for hours to login, but no matter what I do it doesn’t work. Ridiculous…

I paid $250 for session but I cannot go

I just spent an hour creating new logins and pwds, synching across systems, browsers and devices because app can’t log me into my account; but going webpage works just fine.. for the biggest tech show of the year, this should be table stakes and yet I struggle every year with a mediocre, discardable app

Shockingly good app for one convention…

This updated version broke the earlier version and now is not working in new IOS 26

Thanks

After the last update, the app crashes on open. Worked perfectly prior. Claims to work on iOS 17 or later, I have 18.xxx. Hoping it’s updated with the proper fix before CES2026

The app just told me to update to maintain optimal function. I did so, and now it won’t even open.

The app has improved and was helpful in scheduling sessions. However it was ruined by the intense Panasonic full page ads which showed up on every entry into the app. Even if I just switch over to another app and then back again. Please consider customer experience next time when deciding on ad strategy. Seriously!

The average human brain is incapable of processing everything that is available

So I thought the app would be smart considering the CES show hype, but to set up my pre-arranged meetings with venders, I found that it is not capable of. You can only schedule key-note types of events which doesn’t help me. There should be the ability to have the schedule linked to the maps so that you can easily plot out your days so that they are considering moving from one place to another to prevent wasting time hopping around. What a disappointment. And if this feature is available, why wouldn’t there be a tutorial to follow? Seems like a massively missed opportunity and a let down. Make

Last year I and many others complained about the many gaps in this app, especially the crippled search feature that cannot search the most important exhibitor info in the “About” field. How does the CES Show ironically have such a primitive app?? For example, if you want to find companies dealing with electronic rings, companies whose description mentions rings a dozen times won’t shore up based on that description. If they use “ring” in their corporate name, Ok. But even then, you will get hundreds of bogus hits because it will find every company whose category includes “Manufacturing” beca

Scrolling through the CES haystack looking for connection needles in a phone networking app is ridiculous. My back, neck, shoulders, and physical therapist wants to know what you were thinking.

While I’m able to login to the CES site online, I keep getting an error on the app that it’s unable to login as it “could not load CES identity for user…”. This is not due to incorrect credentials where I would normally get wrong email/password error. I’ve tried rebooting my phone, deleting the app and downloading it again several times, but nothing changes. There’s also no place on the app or the site to chat with support line. This review is literally the only place I found to complain!

The all is basically a giant database of information with no automation and doesn’t make the attendee experience any better or easier. The 3D map is useless. Go back to 2D and show me where I am at in real time

The web site has a show planner so you can plan to visit booths. The app has no show planner. It needs a show planner by day, so you can organize your booth visits as an attendee.

Not intuitive to use, maps are static and web site should contain the same information

It is not very useful. The map and directions system is frustratingly unhelpful. The app’s only use to me is as a tool to see what exhibits are available and which venue they are at. This year, even that was problematic. After failing to find several exhibits and standing in some exhibits that were not supposed to even be in that location, I tried to find help. I could not find an app help desk, but one of the information desk folks said that the app might be using data from the 2020 CES app. Deleting the old app and reinstalling the 2024 app fixed the bad exhibitor list and locations.

This app is unusable at the show, search doesn’t return exhibitors, maps don’t load

Finding yourself on the Exhibition Floor Maps does not work/reliably making Favorites, navigation, of limited use. The browser based planner is much more effective especially at sharing Exhibitor info. Disappointing.

The CES is nearly indescribable. There is so much to see and experience that it’s difficult to define the size, scope and expansiveness of it all. However, if someone is interested in any sort of power source it will likely be featured at CES.

Since CES is massive, it is to easy to get turned around. I had to many times look for a wall map. It would be very helpful, if I could easily locate my self. A self locate button would be great. Thanks for looking into this.

Bad. It was bad last year too. I would expect this app to be incredible given what it is for. Should take notes on the HLTH app they did it great

First time attending CES. App was very helpful for learning about exhibitors and how the show is laid out. Real-time navigation rather than the step by step navigation would be great. Otherwise I would have given 5-stars. Great show. I will be back as my company allows.
