User Reviews

Reviewers frequently praise Pax Nav for helping users find panels and plan their schedules, and for the scavenger hunt feature. However, recurring issues include startup crashes, unreliable registrations (with stalls or lost bookings), platform inconsistencies (iOS vs Android), and an outdated, hard-to-navigate UX. Overall it’s useful as a convention companion when it works, but reliability and modern usability are the major pain points.

Pros

Helps users find panels and shows at the convention.
Lets you create a personal schedule to plan what to see.
PAX XP scavenger hunt is a fun, appreciated feature.
Generally useful as a convention companion once you learn the layout.

Cons

Startup crashes or the app won’t open on iPhone.
Registration flow is unreliable, with stalls, crashes, or lost bookings.
Performance and experience differ by platform, with iOS lagging compared to Android.
Clunky, outdated UX that’s hard to navigate and not well tested across devices.

Recent reviews

This is my first PAX but not my first game con. Half the problem is the app: it remembers to show you a splash screen each time you open it, but finding your registered events is three clicks and and four guesses. You can filter on less-used facets but they don't require events to list a duration. There are so many UX improvements that could be implemented. The OTHER half of the problem is that PAX Unplugged allows event owners to use whatever third party or random method they want for registration. This event might use the app, while another tells you to go use Warhorn, and a third says to show up at a booth at a specific time. Make event organizers ONLY register in one place. PAX is 20 years old – they cannot offer an amateur solution like this with their tenure and success.
