Austin Frankel ### 5/5 — Great for dinner with friends! *2025-07-09* This app was so easy to use and it was just what my friends needed when we were fighting over who would sit where at our big group dinner! This allowed us to randomly shuffle seating and text everyone their assigned spot! It was AWESOME! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review - we’re really glad the app helped out with your group dinner! That exact situation is what we built it for, so it’s great to hear it made things easier (and maybe saved a few arguments too).

After u sign in it only takes u to the screen to pay, when you try not to pay, it acts like your not signed in. You can choose to skip the log in but it still forces you to pay. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the frustrating experience. Signing in should not leave you stuck in a loop or make it appear that you’re signed out when you dismiss the upgrade screen. We’re looking into this flow and working to make the free and paid options much clearer. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. ### 1/5 — Awful money pit *2026-07-25* I downloaded this app on my computer and phone and it doesn’t give me access to anything just keeps sending me to pay and I have paid twice and doesn’t allow me to do anything else but pour more money into it **Developer response:** Hi Val, we’re so sorry you experienced this. We’re actively investigating the issue and want to make it right. Please email hello@seatmakerapp.com so we can review your purchases and restore your access as quickly as possible. ### 1/5 — Glitchy, yet effective *2025-10-28* Can use some work on the glitches. Every time I open the app, it seems to have a bit of a lag. Whoever made this needs to seriously check their app! To be honest, notes is a potential alternative for this app. Overall thought it is not horrible, and I am very proud of this creator. ### 1/5 — Terrible interface *2025-08-07* Very clunky and non intuitive. Couldn’t move people around tables or locations within the same table. Many pages were buggy and app would occasionally freeze. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience. We have listened closely to feedback like yours and made major improvements since the version you used. Guests can now be moved smoothly within tables and between tables, the interface is much simpler, and the freezing issues have been resolved. We would love for you to try the updated version and see how much easier it is to create your seating plans. ### 5/5 — Father’s 50th went great *2026-07-07* I used Seat Maker to plan my fathers 50th birthday party and it was super easy to navigate and helped me plan it in minutes. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re glad Seat Maker made planning your father’s 50th easier and helped everything come together smoothly. ### 5/5 — Seat Maker saved my wedding *2026-07-05* If you’re planning a wedding then you need to try this app. I had a running excel sheet with hundreds of rows. This made seating so easy and fast!! **Developer response:** Thank you! We’re so glad Seat Maker made organizing your wedding seating easier, especially with such a large guest list. We really appreciate you sharing your experience. ### 5/5 — THIS APP SAVED MY WEDDING!! *2026-01-29* Seat Maker has been seriously awesome. It made doing a seating chart way less stressful. I’m honestly so glad I downloaded it. I was dreading putting together seating for a big event because it always turns into this annoying puzzle, but this app made it so much easier. It’s super straightforward, everything is really clean, and it just feels easy to use right away. Moving people around, switching seats, adjusting tables… it all takes like two seconds instead of feeling like a chore. I ended up playing around with different layouts way more than I expected because it was actually kind of fun. I also really liked that it doesn’t feel overwhelming or packed with random features you don’t need. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and it does it really well. If you’re planning a wedding, party, or honestly any event where you need to figure out who sits where, this is 100% worth it. Made my life so much easier. ### 5/5 — Terrible app *2025-10-07* This app is very glitchy and is a waste of storage. ### 5/5 — Very cool app *2025-09-22* Nice job making this so simple. I set up an event in 5 minutes. Very intuitive and clear, great UI/X. Keep building! ### 5/5 — Must Download!! *2025-09-15* This app saved my high school reunion. I was so tired of manually entering all of the guests. Right before I was about to give up, I found this app that allowed me to upload my contacts on my phone onto a virtual table. I was able to make a seating layout within minutes!! I looked up the founder, and he is a high school senior!! This kid is definitely going places. Download this app!! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-09-03* Its so nice for events I can just use this and it will be so easy to do this app is so useful **Developer response:** I'm so glad to hear!
