I uploaded 2 photos at a time…took long to upload 25 photos. Now if I try to access photos from my past event, it crashes. ### 3/5 — Prompts for email address when RSVPing *2026-08-11, version 72.16.0* Every time I RSVP I’m required to enter my email address. *You have my email address, I’m logged in with it.* This is tedious and annoying. ### 4/5 — Love but… *2026-07-03, version 72.15.2* Love evite, but just one request… could you fix the glitch that doesn’t allow you to start editing an invite, save it, and finish it later. Having to start all over again is a pain. ### 2/5 — Updated the app, now it won’t work *2026-06-01, version 72.14.1* I updated the app so I could make some birthday invitations. The update is glitching and throwing out the Not Authorized error code 10178. I usually enjoy the app, but this is not ok. ### 2/5 — Sometimesy *2026-05-31, version 72.14.1* If the app works, it’s great, but I can’t remember the last time it worked well. Things I see: You can’t see messages unless you’ve RSVP’ed (except that it’s says I RSVP’ed Yes). When someone sends you a link the app opens to the general page, not the invitation itself. So you have to keep closing the app and trying again. Honestly, not reliable enough for me to use it or want to use it. Sucks. Used to be good. ### 3/5 — Good for invites but not a great app *2026-05-24, version 72.14.1* I like the website for making invitations but the app is poorly made. I opened it to confirm the address for a party, and instead of showing the invitation it went through a whole animation of an envelope opening (even though I had already viewed the animation multiple times). Then even after leaving the party, the app kept running in the background even though I kept opening it and closing it repeatedly. I finally had to uninstall and delete the app from my phone just get it to close. I won’t download it again unless I have to! ### 3/5 — Too many premium features *2026-05-13, version 72.14.0* Not enough basic features ### 1/5 — Hot garbage *2026-05-12, version 72.14.0* I’m sorry, but somehow evite has gotten WORSE over the years. How you take a platform that has worked well for decades and make it this bad (all while charging for services that used to be free) is beyond me. It’s AWFUL. I will never use this platform again, and will find somewhere else to host event info. Absolutely awful. ### 4/5 — Glitchy *2026-05-10, version 72.14.0* Very Glitchy App. Bought the premium version for upgrading some options. Trouble getting payment through. Said declined even though my account was charged. Finally acknowledged the payment Added a photo gallery section and have yet to be able to figure out how or where to upload them. Also, by the way, if you’re having trouble loading your contacts, go into settings and allow the access. (I had that problem too.) ### 1/5 — Zero stars, not one! *2026-04-27, version 72.13.1* The app does not notify me by email, text or otherwise when I get an invitation. The only way I find out I got an invitation is when the inviter contacts me directly to ask me why I didn't reply. There is apparently no way to fix this and when I write for help there is no response. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New update sucks *2026-08-21, version 72.16.1* The new editing update sucks… I’m switching to something else. ### 1/5 — New intrusive ads! *2026-07-21, version 72.15.2* Love the new more intrusive banner ads. Kudos to the product management team for this new ‘enhancment’. You guys are killing it adding these new highly requested features… ### 1/5 — Lack of free options *2026-07-09, version 72.15.2* I’ve used evite for years but lately there are fewer free options! This was the whole reason I started using them! I wanted to save on postage which is irrelevant now. It’s too bad that making money takes priority over providing a great service. What is the point in posting ads when you’re just going to charge us for the card anyway? Also, the whole requiring a nickname to post a review is ridiculous! They are always taken so people give up and don’t post anything. Super shady! ### 1/5 — Too much money! *2026-07-01, version 72.15.2* I cannot believe how much money evite wants to charge people!! I made my own invitation and thought there would be a free option to use and send that, wrong!!! It’s more money if you use your own invitation design, they wanted to charge me $40+ to use their platform to send invites!!! Absolutely ridiculous. Use the app Partiful. It’s free and has cuter options + plus tracks rsvps and so many more options, ALL FREE! ### 1/5 — PAYWALL NOT FREE *2026-06-28, version 72.15.2* It costs money to just upload a photo of your choice and put text over it ### 1/5 — Don’t recommend *2026-06-25, version 72.15.1* The free version is ridiculously difficult to use. Features change regularly and your guests will be spammed ad nauseam. ### 1/5 — No way to view messages *2026-06-08, version 72.14.1* People have been replying to my evite and there’s no way to view their messages. Bummer since it resulted in people missing the event. You’d think this would be a prominent feature 🙄 ### 1/5 — Ruined my birthday *2026-05-18, version 72.14.0* Apparently, when sending a message or update/change to your event, it is sent via email instead of via texted! I originally sent the Evite via text to everyone. That’s the only information I had on my guests! The only thing I changed was the date. It was the same place same time. Instead of having a guest of 15 I ended up with four! Completely ruined my birthday dinner! I will never use Evite again! ### 1/5 — Don’t use for any formal occasions *2026-05-18, version 72.14.0* Lacks customization needed for a wedding or any formal event. Things you’d expect to work like customizing a text message don’t exist. If you pay your recipients still get hit with ads. Very very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Seeking refund *2026-05-15, version 72.14.0* i did their lowest tier for 30 invites. The texts sent out have no identifying information on it so my guests have been afraid to open it thinking it is fraudulent or a scam. I am now having to reach out to everyone on our guest list on my own to let them know about the party and that the link is safe. Tried to contact customer support and got nowhere. Very disappointed as I was recommended this app by a family member who’s evites were sent out just fine. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is great *2026-08-20, version 72.16.1* I like this product so much you should get this app ### 5/5 — Amber *2026-08-12, version 72.16.0* Great ### 5/5 — So Easy *2026-08-06, version 72.16.0* Evite is so easy for parties!

Love it, thanks for providing this service. ### 5/5 — The Evite app works! *2026-06-27, version 72.15.1* I’m enjoying having this app and using it.

You have fancy ones you can pay for. Everything is loaded easily into the invitation. And you can manage it from there too ### 5/5 — Best invitation app *2026-04-23, version 72.13.1* I use this exclusively. User friendly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
