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. ### 3/5 — Needs Update *2021-03-03, version 7.30* Trouble connecting contacts. Bugs needs some work Lacking features for virtual events. Sync with other co-planners is not working. Would be nice to be able to connect and share pictures, etc. This has been a good app over the years. Note: if it doesn’t get some updates on features it will become an app that is outdated. ### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve ever used *2020-11-01, version 7.30* Spent ages setting up my event, invites got sent out but didn’t go to everyone, couldn’t figure out what was going on. Even the people that received invites couldn’t RSVP. Total waste of time. Not intuitive. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2020-02-24, version 7.30* I was very disappointed in this app. I got it for the menu planning function and quickly regretted the purchase. I can do more creating and using an excel spread sheet. This app is just a list and it doesn’t organize at all. ### 1/5 — Worst money ever spent *2018-10-07, version 6.31* Is this app from the land before time? Needs a serious revamp. Seriously regret buying don’t get it! ### 1/5 — Crash! Crash! Crash! *2018-09-21, version 6.31* I have invested a great deal of time and effort into setting up my party on this app. Now it’s beginning to crash every time I open different categories! Someone needs to fix this now!! I will update this review if/when it happens. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2018-07-16, version 6.31* So I downloaded this so that my group could plan an event together. It’s supposed to have this function. When you try to add contributors it sends a link with screenshots that don’t go anywhere. It was a waste of money for me. ### 1/5 — Unhappy 2 DISAPPOINTED *2018-02-22, version 6.31* App doesn’t work as quoted by inventors. This app starts off nice ends for me in crash and burn unable to delete items can’t get the timeline entered as desired. Table set up drag and drop option worked in the preview not on the app. For me very disappointing especially when you get to needing things to fall in place. Contemplated trying the wedding app.. don’t want to throw good money to the wolves and be in the same situation. Update this to what’s paid for really need this to work. INVENTORS 🙏🏽🙏🏽UPDATE THIS app! ### 1/5 — Impossible to navigate..... *2018-02-01, version 6.31* I found this app impossible to navigate and overly complicated. A refund is in order. ### 3/5 — Not happy *2018-01-07, version 6.31* I was hoping for a robust app. Like the layout but it is confusing, you can't delete items & there is no flexibility in scheduling on the timeline. Good start but need an event planner to help you think through better functionality. ### 4/5 — Good *2017-11-09, version 6.31* It would be nice if I could change some headings under planning. Also the blue completed marks should be darker under planning. Otherwise good app. ### 2/5 — Pretty pointless *2017-08-14, version 6.20* Hard to navigate, doesn't actually seem very useful sorry. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2017-05-11, version 6.20* Too early in development to be useful. Too bogged down with repeat inputtting. ### 2/5 — Has potential *2017-01-15, version 6.20* So far I ve spent a couple hours (way too long ) trying to make it work for me. It would be nice to have a to do list on the bar and shows up in summary, or the other list that is in side bar to show up on summary. Easy to see check list crucial in party planning. If this is in this app then instructions need to improved on. I will continue using but many improvements needed. ### 4/5 — Good App *2016-12-23, version 6.20* I just started using this app and like it so far. It would be helpful to have attached, recipes and shopping lists for the party you are planning. ### 4/5 — Ad contact *2016-11-06, version 6.1* Me encanto la app, pero.. deberían agregar la 1- funcionalidad de poder acceder a los contactos del teléfono para agregar guest y colaboradores más fácil en vez de reescribir un contacto. 2- El Look and feel de la app podría ser mejor, más minimalista, moderno. Le falta un mejor diseño. 3- Calendario con vista del mes. Esto haría la app perfecta! ### 3/5 — Party Planner *2016-09-21* I really enjoyed using this app to plan my daughter's Sweet 16 last year. Last year, I used it to plan my 50th. I wish that I was also able to use to send e-vites; especially if I could use my own pics for themes. This would be great because all of the info needed is already in the app. That is true "one stop shopping". This year, I'm trying to plan a family reunion & the app will not open on my iPad. It works on my iPhone 5s but not my tablet. I have renew my subscription & it still doesn't work. It really helps to have everything together & be be able to collaborate with others. But if I can't get it open, what good is it. ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2016-09-16, version 5.9* I bought this app so my sister, my wife and I can plan a party. I've tried to add them as collaborators and it won't let me. I send the emails but they don't get them. So I tried to send to me and I never got one. We got the app so we can plan a 70th birthday party for our parents. So much for that idea. I guess we will just go back to using what's app because that works. ### 4/5 — Great planner ! *2016-09-04, version 5.9* Used this app to plan my mother's 79th birthday party. The original 50 people attending turned to 70. Don't know what I would have done without this app. Was able to track guests, food, decorations--all in one place. Gave it 4 stars because would be great to sort lists by different fields. Would have helped to sort by stores. Will definitely use this app again! ### 1/5 — What happened? *2016-04-02, version 5.7* App will not open, keeps crashing since last update. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-03-28, version 7.30* App crashes when importing contact information. ### 1/5 — Unsatisfactory *2020-11-23, version 7.30* Paid for the app, I couldn’t import my contacts as it would crash every single time I tried to add people. And I even email for support and still no reply... horrible service. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Party *2015-05-06* Great party planner. I just organized a birthday party, for my 80 year old aunt, for about 60 guests and it made my life so much easier. I find it easy to use and it's really nice to have all the logistics aspects of the party in one place. It is so user friendly and every detail is taken care of, even ones that I would never have thought of on my own. The gift tracking feature is a life saver! ### 5/5 — Loved It! *2015-03-07, version 5.0* I used this app to plan my sweet sixteen. It's amazing, and I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-01-27* I do a lot of events for my church and wanted something that would help me stay organized as well as help other connect that were on the planning board also. I was going to create this kind of an app but why when this company has done a great job already! It connects other that are helping me to the same information/file, plans out my budget, etc. You just have to take a little time to get used to how it works and your ready to go. Thank you for all your hard work. ### 5/5 — Feature rich *2014-11-29, version 4.9* This is by far a well thought out application. Packed with anything I could think of I need to plan and organize a party and then some. Things I would not have even thought of like keeping track of party favors. Keep up the awesome work!! ### 5/5 — Great for a Team *2014-11-28, version 4.9* My wife can share the party details with me so I can ensure I get my tasks completed! Simple to use and super handy app! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2014-11-28, version 4.9* Using this app has made my event planning really easy and more organized. The only thing I can suggest is perhaps make already created event on Facebook sync with the app. Also make another line in each guest details where we can put or choose the table numbers. Keep up the good work guys! ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2014-11-28, version 4.9* This is great to use when planning large events. ### 5/5 — Best. Party Planning. App. EVER! *2014-11-28* UPDATE: Has some glitches every once in a while, but nothing major in my experience. Still the BEST party app I've ever used. Thank you! -------------------------- I have successfully used the app for two events now and I can't name any app out there that is better. I downloaded so many and this one is just hands down the best. I highly recommend it. Easy interface, customizable for each type of event, LOVE the guest check-in feature, and the customer support is unlike any other I've encountered. Thank You for this AMAZING app! ### 5/5 — Best party planning app around *2014-11-28, version 4.9* I've now used this app to organise 2 work functions. It never missed a beat, was easy to use and easy to customise to suit the two different party types. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2014-06-04, version 4.3* Using this to plan my sweet 16. I love it & definitely recommend it to anyone who is planning a party. Very helpful 👏 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
