### 1/5 — Zero

*2025-09-02, version 8.31*

Dud not purchase

### 1/5 — No sync! No support!

*2025-05-31, version 8.27*

I want to sync with my iPhone. Paid for the Premium and it won’t sync!!! Very disappointed!!

### 1/5 — This app was horrible. Please refund

*2024-05-17, version 8.06*

Please refund. This is horrible.

### 1/5 — Syncing does not work

*2023-02-14, version 8.05*

Despite paying the extra to sync across my iPad and iPhone - it does not sync.  I’m really annoyed as that was the only additional feature I wanted.

### 1/5 — Not intuitive after 2 hours have given up

*2023-02-04, version 8.05*

Very unimpressed, paid and downloaded app, cannot find how to create invites, poor navigation. Errors - eg tutorial PDF in iPhone App does is not viewable. Will now cancle subscription and requiest refund of app purchase from Apple. Don't bother

### 1/5 — Don’t do it!

*2022-11-30*

This app was very hard to use, not intuitive at all. I’m convinced all the good reviews were written by the developers. I wanted to use it so that my siblings and I, all in different cities, could coordinate and delegate planning of our fathers 80th birthday party. I did not anticipate that we would all need to pay the subscription fee to be able to use the app. I had hoped we as a group would only need one subscription for a single event. I never got any farther than inviting a sibling and it was apparent it wasn’t going to work for since even that was a struggle and a lot of the features that were supposed to be there I could t even find.

### 1/5 — Support 404 not found

*2022-07-04, version 8.00*

I purchased this app a month ago, paid for the premium monthly subscription and the synch/collaborate add-on. I’ve tried several times to send invites to collaborate but the “click here to start accessing the event information” link in the invites are “--“.
I also deleted the app and reinstalled, still have the same issue. If I try to backup or export I get the following error “insufficient permissions: request had insufficient authentication scopes”.

### 1/5 — Can’t even get support.

*2022-05-11, version 7.30*

App keeps crashing

### 2/5 — There should be a warning that they are no longer updating this app

*2022-04-11, version 7.30*

I could totally see this being a great product but not with all the bugs and crashes. I scrolled through and see that many of the problems I’m having were posted about over a year ago. Obviously, they are no longer updating the app and removing bugs.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-03-28, version 7.30*

App crashes when importing contact information.
