Best for events
Absolutely love this app, such a cool cute fun way to get invites out to friends! And it’s free! Honestly thank you so much to the developer team I’ve planned multiple events with ease with Partiful 💗🫶
App of the year
This app has changed my life. No joke! It is soo much easier to plan and attend parties/events. I planned my first event in Partiful in August and have planned 4 events since - in large part fuelled by how easy and enjoyable the process of inviting friends and sharing information is via the app.
My favourite app, most helpful and useful app I’ve downloaded all year!!!

Great App, But a 'Pay Later' Option Would Make It Even Better!
I just hosted my first event on Partiful after using it as a guest for about a year, and I love it! Partiful makes event planning so easy. But I wanted to share one suggestion that could make it even better, especially for events where people need to chip in.
For my party, we needed a minimum number of guests to rent a bar, and we asked people to help cover costs. The issue was that Partiful currently requires guests to pay as they RSVP, which can stop people from confirming right away—even if they want to go.
A ‘pay later’ option with automatic reminders (like two weeks before, one day before, etc.) would make RSVPing easier without needing an immediate payment. This way, hosts can see who’s interested without pressuring guests to pay right away. Thanks for all the work you’re doing—Partiful is a fantastic app!

I regret downloading the app
I like Partiful as an invitation platform, but I rely on unread text messages to organize my invites. When you download the app, party invitations you receive go to push notifications and you can’t control which ones you want to receive or how to want to receive them, you just get push for everything (looked everywhere in settings for any ways to customize, could not find). I deleted the app but my texts turned off and now I’m missing invitations and updates, making it unusable. Wish I hadn’t downloaded.

Use this app! It’s amazing for party planning!!
This is an amazing app for party planning. You get pretty much an accurate count of who’s coming and you can make it so customizable and so cool. My only thought is I wish that I could RSVP (as the host/organizer) for the folks that get the message from the app that may be older and not good on technology. If I know they’re coming from word of mouth, I could RSVP them myself and get the best headcount. Otherwise, this app is amazing. Please use it!! Thanks Partiful!

No Regard for Privacy
Love the app, have been using it for years. I’ve been trying to keep my calendars up to date recently so tried to add a Partiful event to my iPhone alendar for the first time. The app (understandably) asked me to allow it access to my Calendar. I don’t feel comfortable with anyone having “Full Access” to my personal calendar so I chose the “Add Events Only” permission. However, it seems Partiful wants all your personal data before they are willing to do something as simple as adding an event to your calendar. I’ve used many apps with Calendar integration but this is the first time I’ve been blocked from using a key app feature like this. Hope yall can get this fixed.

Poor Communications
If you’re a youth without a social calendar I think this is a great app - if you check it frequently it seems fairly functional and the imagery is fanciful. If you have a busy work and home life, it’s not great. Often when I receive an invitation I think it’s great, but I have to check calendars, see what my husband and I have that day, etc. And then respond. I usually probably know if I can make it but I rarely know with certainty the instant I receive an invitation - and that’s what this app wants from you. You get an iOS notification and asked you to decide instantly. There’s no email that you can forward to your spouse or keep in your inbox as a reminder, and you only get a text message if you haven’t installed the app. Once installed, they expect you to be diligently scanning your iOS notifications waiting for an invitation, and then responding instantly. If you have to follow up, then you are obligated to copy the invitation into your own task or email so that you can remember to follow up. It’s a rude experience for guests and a terrible way to plan an event - unless your events are for other children or you are just seeing who is available right now to go to dinner or something impromptu.

Great app
Does all the work you need to get things organised
ACTUALLY WORKS
I've never been able to plan any events with my friends and it was always so chaotic. I'm honestly so shocked by how this app made it so easy to plan my birthday party!! It's intuitive, fun to use, guests feel comfortable leaving private answers to your questions, and I was able to figure out the date and place to go all through a voting system in the app! Can't recommend this enough, all my friends are raving about it! I've never seen them respond to RSVPS so quick!
