Wish you could filter to not receive posts about alcohol though. If you don’t pick “drinks” as something you’re interested in then you shouldn’t get notifications about them. Otherwise great! ### 4/5 — Takes the pain of planning a weekend away *2024-06-16, version 2.6.2* Personalized suggestions and the community recommendations make this a great app! ### 4/5 — Useful *2024-05-18, version 2.6.1* Great app but I just wish there was a way to filter out what are basically restaurants advertisements. Adds a lot of noise and makes it really difficult to see what events are actually happening nearby. ### 3/5 — No easy way to add to a calendar *2023-09-26, version 1.17.11* The app insists that everything goes through it; at least on iPhone there is no easy way to add an event to the calendar. Uninstalled so that I can use the website that otherwise insists on using the app ### 5/5 — Nice work! *2023-05-24, version 1.13.0* Great app! Nice work! Any chance you could add details about dog friendly spots/activities/places? Thanks ### 5/5 — Superb *2023-01-27, version 1.7.0* Everything an events app should be. ### 5/5 — Loving this new app!! *2022-12-20, version 1.5.1* I just recently started using this app whenever I am looking for something fun to do in Boston. There are events, new destinations, classes, and restaurant happenings on here that I have not seen on any other social media site. Really loving this app! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2022-11-20, version 1.2.31* I never realized how many amazing things were happening in Boston. App is easy to use and I am finding a ton of ideas of things to do. It’s inspiring me to go do more than just go to restaurants and bars. **Developer response:** The more you know! Thank you so much for joining Joyraft :) ### 5/5 — best app in boston! *2022-11-20, version 1.2.31* i’ve been using this app since the beginning and i don’t know how i lived without it. whenever i’m looking for something new and fun to do, i just joyraft it! ### 5/5 — The only app you need to explore a city *2022-11-15, version 1.2.31* joyraft is the best app to find and plan events in my city! Highly recommend. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I love the app but… *2024-08-19, version 2.9.0* I can’t sign back into my account since updating the app and I cant just sign in. It only walks me through creating a new account ### 1/5 — App crashes on opening *2024-06-01, version 2.6.1* I just updated the app but it crashes the moment I try to open it! ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2024-05-24, version 2.6.1* I used to love this app, but it crashes immediately on my iphone 13. I deleted and redownloaded the app, but it still will not open. ### 1/5 — Would not open *2024-05-16, version 2.6.1* First app I’ve ever had that would crash on open every single time. ### 1/5 — App got stuck *2024-04-17, version 2.6* This app stopped on the What do you enjoy? page and it won’t move forward. Is there a limit to how many categories you can chose? ### 1/5 — Unusable *2023-11-15* Stuck on loading page. Most up to date iOS on 16 pro max with most recent app update. Unusable **Developer response:** Hi Joe. We are so sorry for this. Sadly the database we use had an outage on Wednesday. We are a small team of 6 working hard to bring amazing experiences to Bostonians like you. We would love for you to download Joyraft again (it is back up and running) and we'd be so grateful if you'd update your review. If you have any questions -- feel free to shoot me a note at kate@joyraft.com. With joy, Kate & your Joyraft team ### 1/5 — Immediately Deleted *2023-04-19, version 1.11.2* The app is convoluted and difficult to navigate. I deleted it after 2 days because I couldn’t find anything useful. Don’t waste the bandwidth. ### 2/5 — love the concept hate the updates *2023-05-23, version 1.13.0* i hate that i have to update the app in order to use it. i’m prompted to update it every time i open it. i love the idea of the app and the lists it creates but the functionality is lacking imo ### 3/5 — Nice app but too invasive *2026-07-05, version 2.11.4* I love seeing what’s going on, but have slowly come to realize, using apples privacy report, how many apps violate rules. I have removed a bunch using AI and the privacy report weekly. I have Joycraft set to only be able to add to my calendar- there is no reason to have it have access to my whole calendar that is why Apple created the choice add to calendar only Joycraft still won’t add an event to my calendar unless access to my whole calendar is provided. Will manually add until this is fixed. ### 3/5 — Make filtering easier and stop letting businesses just post themselves *2024-08-13* Can you please do something about restaurants on here? I’m sick of looking for EVENTS but a restaurant puts “$1 oysters every day 1-3!!” Or just a posting about their restaurant—I can find that on Yelp. It clogs up events I’m actually looking for. Maybe a different section can be made for happy hours/food deals? Or a “recurring events” category for trivia/weekly meetups. There’s not enough ways to filter stuff! **Developer response:** Hi there. Thank you for being a Joyraft user! Actually, businesses & restaurants are not "posting themselves." It is our editorial team who adds all of the listings you see to help keep our userbase informed. We encourage you to try using our date and interest tag filters on the Discover homepage, or our search bar! If you have questions or more feedback, please feel free to write to me at kate@joyraft.com.

This app has the ideas you can’t come up with!!!! Seriously, I’ve had this app for one weekend and I can’t wait to spend the rest of the summer and beyond with it as my guide book. 11/10 hot girls recommend ‼️‼️ **Developer response:** Hi Priscilla!!

Stay all summer long and get excited for killer fall content coming soon... - Kate & your Joyraft team ### 5/5 — Plan your entire stay in Boston with this app *2023-05-27, version 1.13.3* One Boston app to rule them all! This is the ultimate app to plan your entire weekend in the beautiful city of Boston, in any season! It’s so easy to use, you can create a trip, name it, and then browse events that match your interests, add them to your trip, and can then knock them down one by one! You’ll get great event insight, see how many others are interested, and it’s basically a Facebook events on steroids, and, actually is functional and fun to use! Highly recommend for anyone in or out of state planning a trip to Boston! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
