What's New?

Check In App Released for Mac

The Guest Manager iPad Check In App has been ported to a native macOS app! Enjoy the same great check in experience you’re used to on iPad and iPhone, optimized for the Mac.

The app will sync in realtime with other connected iOS devices and Macs, just like the iPhone and iPad app will.

Check in guests

• Search and check in guests by name, custom fields, etc
• Add new guests
• Monitor arrival log
• Edit and manage events and attendees

Dark mode

Events can run late. No problem, make the app easy on the eyes with dark mode.

Benefits over web based check in

1. This app works offline, just like the iPad and iPhone app
2. Optimized experience for check-in
3. Instant searching
4. Talks to other iPad and iPhone devices in realtime

iPad vs Mac?

Please note the following features are not available in the Mac app:

• Scanning tickets/barcodes (using either the camera or external scanners)
• Name badge printing

V2 - iPad and iPhone Event Check In App

Guest Manager Check In version 2 is now available on the Apple App Store.

New Features

• Added support for the Socket Mobile bluetooth scanners

  Check In Actions

  where you can configure actions to take upon check-in. This initial release includes actions for assigning a barcode to an attendee (for example activating a pre-printed pass or wristband), taking a photo, collecting a signature, product pickups, and printing a name badge. In the future we will offer actions for filling out a form, signing a waiver, and more! Let us know your ideas.

  Vouchers

  for events with sessions, you can allocate vouchers to an attendee, which can be redeemed for attendance at your sessions. Useful for attendance tracking where you don’t know in advance which sessions an attendee will attend, and would like to pre-allocate a certain number of sessions that the attendee is eligible to attend.

  Product Pickups

  You can add or import items on an attendee profile to make available during check in, either scanning or lookup. This is designed to be a flexible system, used for tracking anything such as add-ons, meals, product samples, welcome packages, etc.
