{% hint style="danger" %}
With a semi-open app, there is a risk that users might not download the app on location. So to maximise the number of downloads you should [promote the app](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/lets-get-started/getting-started/application/untitled/promoting-your-app) at the event, as well as communicate the generic registration codes to users.
{% endhint %}

## Closed <a href="#closed" id="closed"></a>

{% hint style="success" %}
Recommended if your event has registered guests, with none or a limited number (>20) walk-in guests.
{% endhint %}

* Anyone can download the app.
* Only users with a personal registration code can register and access the app.
* If someone logs out, they can use the forgotten password function to re-login if required.
* Must import attendees to the admin panel.
* Importing [exhibitors](https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/content/application-1/companies#creating-a-new-company) and speakers is necessary too.
