### 4/5 — Great App

*2018-12-08*

Simple and makes your planning easier. Just add the ability to print qr codes or barcodes for quick management of invited guests...

### 4/5 — Brilliant

*2018-01-04, version 1.17.4*

This app is fantastic when you’re in the beginning stages of designing and planning your wedding.
I love it.  It’s easy to understand and work your way around. 
My only critique is that I’d like to see a tick box next to each person on the Guest List page when ‘Save the Date’ cards and Invites have been sent. I personally would want these as individual tick boxes. 
Thanks for a great app, otherwise.

### 3/5 — Loved it until the feature I needed the most stopped working

*2017-04-20*

I've been using this app to plan my wedding for a while now, loved it. The guest list tracker was great, made things very easy. It is now wedding "crunch" time and I need to finalize the seating chart I've been working on. But beginning yesterday, I cannot access the seating chart feature without the app immediately freezing up and quitting on me. I'm afraid to delete and try to re download and lose all my guest info that's already been entered. Please fix this! Everything was great until this point! I would gladly rate 5 stars if not for this major issue.

**Developer response:** Hi, please don't delete the app as there is a risk you will lose data. Please contact our support (weddingappsupport@createful.com) with as much detail you can about your iPad & iOS versions, steps to reproduce, and any screenshots of any errors, and we'll get this fixed for you ASAP.

### 3/5 — Wedding planner

*2017-03-21, version 1.17.0*

I like the app ok. Was disappointed that you can only use it on one device.

### 3/5 — Okay app

*2016-05-31*

This an okay app. It's not the upgraded version so you are very limited to what you can do. The to-do list is not pre made so you have to do it yourself. It also comes with a customizable seating plan, but it is difficult to rotate the tables. I don't think buying the upgraded version is worth it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this, and sorry it has taken so long to answer. The app has been
rebuilt from the ground up, and most of what people asked for over the years is
in it now.

Plus-ones are attached to the person who brought them, each with their own
reply, and families can be kept together as a household. The seating plan is a
room you build from the tables the venue actually has, with guests dragged into
seats. The budget shows what you planned against what you have committed and
paid.

If you bought the original app, that carries over. The update is free and
there is no limit on the size of your lists. iCloud sync, and sharing a plan
with your partner so you are both in the same one, are the new part and are what
is paid for now.

If the thing you asked for is still missing, I would rather hear it than not.

### 4/5 — Great

*2014-08-19, version 1.7.0*

Great app for tracking everything and helps to take the stress out of planning

### 3/5 — Some really good features but lacking in a few areas.

*2014-07-10, version 1.7.0*

This app has a lot of potential but for the money I would have expected a little more. To plan your whole wedding on this when there is no iCloud backup is quite a scary concept. It would be a huge burden to any couple to lose all of their data.

There is no ability to share the information between devices. It would make such a difference to be able to sync this information with your phone and with your partners tablet and/or phone so that you have access to this information and can both update its content.

Guest list, if you add more than one guest under one name then you can no longer see if they have RSVPd or not, you have to add each person individually to do this. 

These are some of the negatives but there are many positives too. It is very simple to use and the ability to email everything to your vendors etc. is very useful. It is great to keep track of which guests have RSVPd and to then be able to add them to a seating plan. It would be great if you could physically alter the proportions of the tables etc. in the seating plan page to help design your room. 

The budget planner is a very handy tool to stay on top of your costs, but it would be much better if you could also stay on top of your actual costs on this page too so you can see the difference between your budgeted cost and actual cost. 

Overall, a potentially useful app but for the cost I would expect a little more functionality and at the very least iCloud back up and syncing between yours and your partners devices.

### 3/5 — Needs a little more

*2014-05-23*

I really love the app very simply to use. I feel it should have a budget calculator and count down for the price I paid for the app in the iTunes Store. I had to download two separate apps for a wedding budget calculator and countdown in addition to this one, but over all I loved it keep everything at close view instead of so much writing in notebooks.

### 5/5 — Brilliant wedding planning app

*2014-02-13, version 1.6.1*

I used this app to plan our wedding and I would highly recommend it. Everything has been thought of, extremely useful, easy to use, intuitive.

### 5/5 — Planning made easy

*2014-02-11, version 1.6.1*

I got this app to plan and organise my wedding, it has been fantastic in keeping me organised and having everything in the one place. Would be lost without it

### 5/5 — My new best friend!😁

*2014-02-09, version 1.6.1*

I absolutely love this app. I have everything sorted in here & couldn't plan my wedding without it!! Perfect

### 5/5 — Perfect wedding planner App

*2014-02-03, version 1.6.1*

I've been using this App for about 10 months and have found it invaluable - especially now we are getting down to the nitty gritty of a seating plan and schedule for the day, which can easily be emailed from within the App.

Easily customisable to suit every budget and situation.  Well worth every penny!

### 2/5 — Good, but could (and should) be a lot better

*2014-01-20, version 1.5.6*

The idea of having all of your info in one place is brilliant but there really should be an iPhone app to go with it. 

It would be so much better if the data was backed up via iCloud and it synced between an iPhone app. 

Perhaps I should have read the description in more detail but for 6.99 I really did expect all of the above.

### 4/5 — Munckin

*2014-01-12, version 1.5.6*

Very helpful however guest list needs to be numbered and option to add filters would both be useful for logistics management of guest list

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can only add 10 guests for free

*2018-06-03*

I downloaded this to start planning seating for my wedding with 100+ guests, and I can only add 10 before having to pay.  Not worth it.

### 1/5 — In app purchases

*2016-06-02, version 1.16.1*

You can add 10 guests to your guest list then it asks you to pay and upgrade.
There are other apps that are better for free.

### 1/5 — What did I pay $13.00 for?

*2014-05-03, version 1.6.1*

Not a very good app, well over priced.
I can't add things with out it freezing and I can't set an over all budget and have it balance itself. 
Can I get a refund?

### 1/5 — Help

*2013-08-15, version 1.5.5*

This app won't open can I have my money back please?

### 1/5 — It was a great wedding planning tool.

*2013-01-23, version 1.5.0*

Until the last update that is. Completely useless now. Crashes every time it launches. Worked perfectly before that. Please fix. Trying to organize invitations isn't very easy when you can't access your guest list at all.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2012-11-19, version 1.4.3*

Definitely don't buy, would not recommend. There are other free apps that's WAY better than this one. I never use this app for my wedding planning because there is nothing on it. To do list has nothing on it! Boring background, can't do much on it, definitely would not buy it if I could go back.

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2012-07-30, version 1.4.1*

Terrible! Not worth the 10$ at all. Use one of the free wedding planning apps, this isn't worth it at all!! Free ones are much better.

### 2/5 — Same problem with lists

*2014-04-03, version 1.6.1*

Can't move them around which is a real pain, I contacted the developers a few months back and they said they couldn't replicate the problem... No solutions since. Otherwise a decent app it not worth the price with such a flaw.

### 2/5 — Average

*2014-03-10, version 1.6.1*

It's an ok app but when trying to move guests around in my guest list it moves the wrong person. Contacted the creator of the app about 3 weeks ago but nothing after I explained my problem

### 2/5 — OK but.....

*2014-03-08, version 1.6.1*

This is a relatively simple app. I think it's way overpriced for what you actually get and it lacks functionality in lots of areas. I've also had problems re-arranging guest lists (which I've contacted the developer about almost 3 weeks ago but still have not had any response from them). In summary - over priced with limited functionality. Has great potential but for now stick with Numbers or Excel.

### 5/5 — The Absolute Best Online Wedding Planner!!!

*2020-01-26*

Although it's almost two years since my wedding on July 21, 2018, I wanted to take the time to tell you how much your app saved my sanity when planning my wedding. 

Using this app kept everything moving in a smooth fashion thus allowing me to enjoy my wedding. You see I was an older bride planning my first and only wedding and this app was absolutely perfect as I was my own wedding planner. With this app I was able to put together, plan, and execute my wedding in just 5 months. It was a small, intimate and beautiful wedding wedding with a good time had by all who attended. 

I would and have recommended this app to anyone and everyone I know who is about to get married. Thank you for such a wonderful and awesome app!!!

### 5/5 — Invaluable

*2015-06-23, version 1.11*

I absolutely love this app. Of course you can use pen and paper, but it's much easier, neater and nicer to use the app. Everything in one place.
It does everything from tracking the budget, to arranging the seating plan. The seating plan lets you choose tables - round, square or rectangle with any amount of people just where you want them or you can move them around in the plan with a slide if your finger. It's great.    To do lists, thank you lists, you name it you can send emails from the within the app.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2015-02-02, version 1.10*

Seriously love this app first and last time bride to be so much to do and no were to start until I got this app.. Makes planning less stressful and easier to keep all info in one place and ontop of my to do list. Thank you. Kate

### 5/5 — Five stars

*2014-07-22, version 1.7.0*

Amazing app wouldn't have survived without it!

### 5/5 — Life made easy

*2014-07-20, version 1.7.0*

Extremely helpful in keeping me organised and up to date with the planning of my wedding. Definitely worth the purchase.

### 5/5 — A wedding planning essential

*2014-06-19, version 1.6.1*

This app has been an absolute saviour for my fiancée and I. We tried a few planning tools but nothing compared to this one. Very user friendly and has everything we need. Great price considering what you achieve from it. Would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Best app by Far

*2014-06-17, version 1.6.1*

We used this app for planning our wedding last year. It was the best app we had come across and covered all basis, from planning, budgets, guests etc. Definitely worth every penny!!!

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2014-05-02, version 1.6.1*

This is a great app that has helped us plan for our wedding. It is simple and easy to use, and takes some pressure of planning that special day. Easy to email details to the mother in law, which is always helpful. 
Well done guys

### 5/5 — Foreveremmabunny

*2014-04-06, version 1.6.1*

I've been waiting for a chance to rate this app, I have found it fantastic and would recommend it to anyone. It has helped with every aspect of my wedding and I don't know how I would have managed without it! Love love love it 👰

### 5/5 — Happy!

*2014-03-10*

This is a very simple app to understand and has different sections to put together how and when you want things to be done. I love the to-do list section of this app the most. I recommend this for any bride and groom looking for a little help with staying organized.
