Evite: Party Invitation Maker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Clunky and uselessI’d rather just use a group message to set up a party. Hard to update. Can’t resend invite. Some invites undeliverable with no good reason. Clunky and not intuitive. Let’s get together!! But not with Evite 🙄👎🏻.Version: 45.0.0
✓ It’s an ok app but could be great!I really enjoy Evite and it’s my go-to when it comes to making invites. However, I give 3 stars to the app it self, because it’s very basic. Any changes that needs to be made you have to go to the web or even the app tells you to go. Then why won’t I just create on the web version of Evite?.Version: 4.3.10
✓ App isn’t greatThis is a review for the app, not the evite service, which I enjoy. The app itself has very limited capabilities in terms of managing the evite. There is also no way to edit the evite contacts through the app, which is bizarre, as it would be convenient to sync them with your phone contacts. The biggest frustration of all is that there is no way to get app notifications from your evite without also getting email notifications. The whole point of an app for me would to be able to receive notifications via the app without evite blowing up my email. Or being able to fully edit and manage my evite. I can do neither of these things so this app is essentially useless..Version: 5.9.1
✓ If I could give this app 0 stars I wouldI’ve created two accounts so far to try to gain access for my only event and both accounts have failed to work. I’ve tried to reset password for first account for over an hour and haven’t gotten a single response or confirmation email. I created a second account to manage my event and when I tried to log in with the password I WROTE DOWN MYSELF not only says the password is wrong but it also says the account DOESNT EXIST. How is that possible?? I just created it and became a co-host of my own event. The site says that customer service is from 9 to 5 so now I have to wait to make big changes to my event which messes up my schedule. On top of that I don’t think it’s necessary to have an agent on stand by to send a password reset link which I haven’t gotten for NEITHER accounts This is the last time I use this garbage website. Doesn’t work. Doesn’t remember accounts Service is awful to non existent There are many more functional sites to run an event Never again.Version: 47.0.0
✓ Mostly greatI like using evite as there are good options and you don’t have to make a ton of decisions. However, I cannot figure out why it can’t see all of my phone contacts. There is someone I want to invite and they are in my phone, but aren’t showing up on the phone (or evite) list of contacts. All the other random numbers show up except some of the people I want to invite. In fact, some of my contacts disappear after they had previously shown up. It feels like it is retaliatory because I didn’t upgrade to Premium. — I had initially accidentally chosen a Premium card and started adding my invite list. Then when I realized I had chosen a card I would have to pay quite a bit for I switched to a free card. When I tried to add those same people to the second card invite list they wouldn’t show up. I had to manually add in their information..Version: 62.0.0
✓ Not so great anymoreI downloaded this app in 2021 in hopes it would be the perfect solution to invite friends over for house/pool parties. At first, it was great. Guests could see who all was coming, there was a What To Bring List, I could easily see who RSVP and who didn’t! But then early 2023, something changed. The What To Bring List started sporadically not working and then eventually just stopped working. Being able to manage and the list of invitees moved and was not intuitive to access. And then guests stopped receiving updates. The ads and pressure to upgrade increased. Overall, it went downhill and I not pleased with it. I do not recommend..Version: 58.0.0
✓ Not for Use in AustraliaThe app doesn’t allow texting, managing and sending to AU mobile numbers..Version: 53.1.0
✓ App Needs ImprovementFunctionality between app, desktop web access and phone web access is ALL different. It should be the same. On some platforms I can edit guests’ status, others I cannot. On one platform, I can see if it’s a phone number or email associated with the guest. On the other two I cannot. Adding the text ability for Evite is great, but you need to work out the bugs. Many of my guests could NOT rsvp to Evite with out entering email (after I invited everyone via text). This caused MAJOR problems because I ended up with multiple entries for the same person. There HAS to be a way to add phone number AND email to a guest’s profile so that you don’t get duplicates...one guest profile with phone number, duplicate guest profile with email. Not well designed from a programming point of view. You need to anticipate problems and design solutions that avoid them.Version: 3.3.1
✓ TerribleDoesn’t work in Australia anyway Didn’t send invites to phone contacts App is freezing constantly when using No obvious help section Wouldn’t recommended.Version: 17.0.0
✓ Absolute Rubbish!! 😡A total scam if you’re in Australia!!! Went through the whole process of preparing my invitations. Then before I could send it asked me for $99. I found out after I paid that it doesn’t send invites to Australian numbers. SCAM SCAM SCAM. Now I have to lodge a dispute with my bank to get my money back 😡😡😡.Version: 65.0.0
✓ App won’t login/ customer support is uselessThis app changed recently and I am no longer able to login. I keep getting an error message. I can login via web page on my phone without a problem. I emailed customer support. I got one reply and nothing since then. They don’t answer. I’ve used this company for years, maybe it’s time for a change Update 1/1/20 Dear Evite Team, Thank you for responding to my review and your invite to email my issues to you for resolution. Unfortunately, I HAVE emailed. In fact, i have followed up several times without any further response from your Support team. Hence my reviews of your app because it does not work nor can I get help in it. I deleted the app from my phone. Hopefully, one day, you will fix it so others can use it without the same issues and with better support than I have experienced..Version: 17.0.0
✓ User friendly but missing invitationsThe app is quite easy to use and create events on which is great. Very user friendly. However, unsure if this can be circumvented by sending invitations one at a time, but several individuals on our baby shower list never received their invitations which is quite concerning. I was also told that this happened with one of my family members who organized another event through evite. Unfortunately seems that you will have to follow up with the individuals on your guest list to make sure they received their invites..Version: 64.0.0
✓ Use to be awesome now its just ehhhFor whatever reason they removed the detail food list where you tell everyone the menu then list all the items needed, ppl could sign up for what they were bringing or add in their own items. Without this feature u could just send a group text. Ur still going to get a ton of text messages and ppl r going to forget what they volunteered for. I throw a lot of gatherings min 30ppl. Home BBQ, dinner parties, large pot luck lunches, major formal events. Evite had a great app that needed a little more detail to make it perfect. Why would you take away amazing features you already offered?????.Version: 58.0.0
✓ Don’t use in AustraliaDoes not accept Australian Phone numbers.Version: 48.0.0
✓ Can’t even login!Haven’t even managed to open this app. Keeps crashing, has asked me to login numerous time. Going to remove already..Version: 3.0.1
✓ App keeps crashingThe app keeps crashing and you can’t delete contacts you added!! You can only uncheck the contact.. soo unpractical... and if you add an additional page of info, it’s only white and doesn’t match the invitation...Version: 33.1.0
✓ Doesn’t saveSpent ages doing the invite only for the app not being able to save it So pointless.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Good Concept But the App Doesn’t WorkThis is a good concept, but no parts of this free app work the way they’re supposed to. Many people didn’t receive the evite via text, and many couldn’t RSVP. When people did RSVP, it didn’t show up or their name would be on the YES or NO list and also still in the NO REPLY list. Impossible to know how many people are really invited or coming to my party. The invite also could be a little more flexible as to wording, etc. I would be willing to pay to make and send out an invitation, but I don’t want to subscribe to something I use every 2 years. You guys could do so much better and probably make more money to charge per invite or per party!.Version: 43.1.1
✓ BuggyIt was great when I first downloaded it... Then after accessing a few times everything the is blank and null. My event info isn't there any longer. The bugs need to be worked out!.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Recent changes are not user-friendly1. Any format edits with paragraph breaks you make on the website, or the mobile app, do not carry over to what users see on the app detail view. All the sentences just run together in one block of text, which is very unsightly. 2. The per-event cap on Yes replies has been removed. So if you only have space for 10 people and invite 100, you’re left with the awkwardness of telling all those people who can not attend. 3. Formatting features such as bold, italic, underlined and website URLs for reference have been removed. 4. The per-event fee for premium is way too high, especially for those who use the service often. I would gladly pay a yearly fee that made sense but not hundreds of dollars. 5. THE MAYBE OPTION IS GONE? 😡.Version: 59.0.0
✓ I don’t like it anymore way to much adsI’m not even clicking on an ad yet it clicks on it- so many premium options doesn’t make sense it’s not like I’m going to use this thing regularly!.Version: 12.0.0
✓ Why am I refused a refund?I purchased this app for birthday invites. It failed to send to every person I invited as it doesn’t send to Australian text numbers. I also tried to send the link to people and when they clicked on it they were told they were invited. I contacted your help desk and followed the link to get a refund and was immediately rejected. Why am I denied a refund when the app doesn’t work as intended? I expect a refund please. This isn’t acceptable..Version: 10.0.1
✓ The Greeting Card Function Needs WorkThe invitations are very good & adding people after the fact is not an issue. Not the case for greeting/thank you cards, which is crazy & annoying. You’re also limited to 200 characters, which includes your salutation. Quite a challenge. So I sent out 60+ thank yous but when I wanted to later add someone I forgot, I had to start from scratch. Makes zero sense. It would be a much needed improvement to add that capability plus an option to edit/customize any note for various individuals..Version: 58.0.0
✓ IF you plan on doing a virtual event through Evite, DON’T DO IT!!I used their virtual video chat for my virtual baby shower and it was a disaster. It kept kicking my family and friends off the chat, some of my family and friends couldn’t sign in on the chat, and they only display 12 people at a time during the chat. The rest of your guests would have wait until someone signed off for them to get that slot (i had 75 guests trying to attend). I also had issues with audio going in and out as I’m trying tell people about my gifts which was very frustrating. I got knocked out the chat twice and when I tried to get back in the chat, i had to wait until someone turned off their camera so i could back on which doesn’t make sense since IM THE HOST smh. Overall, you would be better off using zoom. I was highly disappointed and upset because I was already bummed I couldn’t have a real shower because of COVID and this experience didn’t make it any better. I will never use their service again!.Version: 26.0.0
✓ Doesn’t load invitesEvery time I am sent a direct link to an invite, it doesn’t load and doesn’t show up. They have to manually add my phone number and email address!.Version: 50.0.0
✓ Doomed to be failedPoor... Not easy...Version: 2.4.0
✓ The worst app I have installed in living memory and no option to remove my data.The worst app experience I have had in living memory..Version: 33.1.0
✓ Cannot loginThe app looks great in description images but unfortunately the app is logging me out immediately after login or upon tapping the "create invitation" button after login.Version: 2.7.1
✓ What happened?It’s been a couple of years since I entertained and needed to send an invitation and in that time, the app lost helpful functions and is clunky to navigate with large amounts of screen used for nothing. A previous reviewer noted the functionality across platforms should be the same and it’s vastly different. Ex: I couldn’t change guest options in the app to show adults vs kids after the invite was created. And when I tried to log into the website from a mobile browser it repeatedly opened the app. I wanted to view the desktop version of evite so I could make the change since the app didn’t offer the function I needed. Additionally, on the app I used to be able to see when guests opened the invite - now it tells me someone opened the invite “yesterday” but I only sent the invite today-! Lastly, the app is clearly so commercialized now that it’s distracting - each time I went in to update a draft, I was given a barrage of ads - “you’ve earned $40 for wine club this and meal prep kits that” - it’s just not what I came here to do. I miss the days of simpler screens with more functionality and a more seamless mobile to desktop experience..Version: 47.1.0
✓ SLOW SLOW SLOOOOOWThis app has to be the slowest app on my phone. When you open the app it takes about 2/3 minutes to load the events, then when the event eventually opens you have to wait another 2/3 minutes for the guests to load 👎🏼😩👎🏼😩👎🏼.Version: 2.7.4
✓ Convenient but Lacking....This app is so convenient and easy to use but there are a lot othings that can be improved: -deleting guests from list(error message) -poll option not available -what to bring not available -icon notification says there’s 31 but there’s really only 1 new notification -if you delete guests on the website it doesn’t update on the app.Version: 11.0.0
✓ WhatsApp integrationThis would be a great app if it had WhatsApp integration. A lot of parties are initiated through a WhatsApp group chat. How good would it be if you could send the invite to everyone in the group through one WhatsApp message? Doodle can do this so why not this app?.Version: 10.0.1
✓ App won’t load openEver since the update the app stays on the Evite symbol but doesn’t load any further. It’s rather useless now..Version: 11.0.0
✓ Not an improvement from years past…I used this app frequently over the years. I used it recently and had nothing but issues. Invites undeliverable even with correct information. Than trying to resend didn’t work with each guest. Not worth the $20 i now have to pay for it..Version: 48.0.0
✓ Does not save progressReally fun app that I love to use, however I switch out of the app for 2 seconds to look up my friends info and when I come back the invite I just spent 30 mins crafting is gone. That’s unbelievable. Please fix this very upsetting issue. Additionally, In the “message” section, while typing on my iPhone it does not give the option to “shift” down to a new line, to create space between paragraphs. This would be a nice feature. It’s interesting that you guys push the app so much, but in fact on the browser you are able to edit the font format a lot, where you’re not able to on the app :/.Version: 26.0.0
✓ Unable to open invitation after paying $30 upgradeI hate to say it, but once again I am having problems with evite after paying for an upgrade. I included a cohost, spent a half hour creating the invitation, paid 30$ upgrade for desired ease, and now I can see nothing but the homepage to create an invitation. I’ve tried restarting the phone , the app, accessing instead through the email link to see who RSVP’ed… but each time I get brought to the homepage to create , which includes no other options. I click on the home icon; it brings me nowhere. I understand technical things happen sometimes, but the point remains—I can not access my responses as the party planner. For some reason my cohost can see, but not me.. the paying customer. I’ve had two other tech savvy people check it out to make sure I’m not missing anything … and I’m not. I’m hoping customer service sees this review and reaches out to me and fixes it . Or at least refunds me since I’m not receiving the services I paid for..Version: 51.0.0
✓ NOT FOR UKWHY WOULD ANYONE SELL AN APP IN THE UK THAT IS NOT FOR UK BASED ADDRESSES AND PHONE NUMBERS......AFTER FILLING IN ALL YOUR INFO?????.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Good app but...Would be nice to be able to cut and paste email addresses. Not all emails are in my contacts/address book. Had to manually enter 30 email contacts. Took way too long..Version: 7.0.1
✓ RubbishDoesn't work lets you fill it all in but won't let you invite people waste of time.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Set a reminder to cancel 30 days before expiration or be billed!The reason I considered this app is to try it out... based on the reviews I went for it, but one can’t go by “5 star” reviews alone anymore. The app was fine in terms of having more invitation options and no advertising... but other than that which was fine for the time frame I needed the app to be advertisement free, it didn’t make much more of a difference. I’m not upset because of my results during the 3 month subscription but rather that my account was billed for another 3 months. I knew I didn’t want the app for more than three months so I never hit the auto renewal, I opted out. When I saw my email that I have approved the charges I went into my account to cancel. It was easier to subscribe than to cancel. This is how that make money, I suppose. If you choose to try the app make sure to set a reminder to check your account to avoid “auto renewal”..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Getting worseMore errors in RSVP found recent years..Version: 13.0.0
✓ Not effectiveThis app is not effective at alll, created an invitation on my laptop and now log in to the app on my mobile and it’s not bringing my event and even when u try to create another event it’s saying invalid date format..Version: 3.7.0
✓ Waste of my timeI had to compose my guest list 4 times because despite the app saying it had saved it, the list was wiped out each time I opened it. I finally learned my lesson and just sent the damn invitation, but I won’t use this app again..Version: 9.1.1
✓ Update not workingTrying to create a. Invitation but the date field does not save. Cannot move to next step because app will not save the date. Yes, my region /location on my phone is accurate. Suggest you send out another update to address this issue..Version: 46.0.0
✓ Customer Service is HorribleI got the package for 100 invites. I sent two out to the guests of honour. I then proceeded to add the emails of the other 80 manually. Each time receiving confirmation that my invite was emailed. Nobody received invites. I sent an email immediately to support and received an email back two days later saying they were backlogged and to try links to help articles (which were not helpful-I did look). I sent a second email asking for support. Evite had no problem taking my money but $88 for two invitations sent makes no sense. Still haven’t heard back and invites need to go out pronto. I am going to have to use another company. My daughter in law organizes events as a career for a large university-I guess I should have asked her advice about using Evite before jumping the gun. There is no way yo contact this company other than by their support link..Version: 59.0.0
✓ Sending Evite by TextI recently downloaded the app after using the web service for a few years. In the past, as a sender and a recipient of evites, I have been frustrated by being limited to email, since many people, including myself, tend to ignore email, or have filters to weed out the junk mail. So - I was happy to be able to send my most recent evite in the form of a text message, since text is more direct. However - most of my invitees completely missed it, since it came from a strange number (not from me, who is one of their contacts). My husband forwarded me the text he received, and honestly, it comes across like spam or phishing. One last minor comment: My friend asked me when I had sent the evite, and when I went into the app to check, I couldn’t find a record of the “sent date”..Version: 16.0.0
✓ Can’t even register!I’ve never used Evite before and after reading many reviews I was excited to give it a try! Especially since I see that Evites can now be sent via text. I need to reschedule an event that we had to postpone due to hurricane Florence, so I really don’t have time to mail out new invitations. I figured using Evite would be faster. I downloaded the app, entered my first and last name, my email address and a password then hit the register button, then nothing. I keep getting a pop up window that says “Registration Error, Please try again”. So I click “ok” and try again only to get the same error message over and over again. What could I have possibly done wrong? Please get back to me with a way to fix this. I’d love to update my review with 5 stars!!.Version: 3.8.0
✓ Date and timeIt won’t let me select a date and time for my invitation?.Version: 46.0.0
✓ No goodQuality via sms is poor. Tested on myself and was bombarded by ads once the recipient link was clicked. Maybe you have to pay to remove these..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Doesn’t work on iPadI set up my evite on the desktop website. After that I’ve been monitoring it on my iPad Pro, but it’s horrible. I try to view the different groups (yes, no, no response), but the list either doesn’t display any names — when there should be — or shows an incomplete list. The longer list of “no response” sometimes shows the first few, sometimes the first half, and sometimes the second half of the list. It has never shown me the entire list. With the “yes” and “no” lists, it usually displays no names, even though people have indeed responded. So for right now the app version is a waste and serves no purpose..Version: 43.0.1
✓ However approved this update should be firedWhy did you update the app and remove features?! There is no where in the app for me to cancel an event reminder even though you sent me an email asking me if I wanted to adjust it. I had to force my phone to not open the app and use the browser and then search forever to locate where to adjust it. Ugh Also for the love all things good, why would you remove the feature that use to give me a count at the top of my rsvps that separated adult and child rsvps? Now I have to go through and individually count the child rsvps separately. Make sure when you are updating your app that you aren’t removing features..Version: 54.0.0
✓ Unbelievable Invitations via TextI was so excited to use Evite their invitations are beautiful and easy to use. The only issue I have with this app is half of my guests didn't receive their invitations. I've contacted customer service twice and both times they responded with a generic response stating they've received an influx of tickets and they'll get back to me in a timely manner. I've checked my manage invite button, and it states I have no undeliverable items. When I know that is inaccurate as my guests have told me they never received the invitation. This is extremely distressful as I paid for the premium packet and my event is in a couple of weeks. I'll keep y'all posted if this issue gets resolved..Version: 18.0.0
✓ Still so many bugsI’ve been using this app weekly for 7+ yrs and I think I only stay because I can’t find a better alternate. My frustrations are with the following unfixed bugs: The app duplicates rsvps for those who reply via text and also email so you will get an error inflating the totals. This has gotten me in trouble on several occasions from sports teams to dinner reservations. The copy feature from paste events is a major time savor. However, the images get mixed up between old and new events so I’m finding it’s better to just start over. Obviously there is a reason I keep coming back. It does a great job saving all my contacts and the images and concepts are great!!!!.Version: 43.1.1
✓ Rubbish appCompeted evite and kept getting error with time and date formatting..Version: 29.0.0
✓ UselessOnly works in Canada and US and doesn’t recognise numbers in my contacts..Version: 4.6.1
✓ Cannot add guests, cannot save project!This looked like a great app, download d and created new account with a Facebook login (later to try afresh with a stand alone email login). Creating the project was simple enough, tweaking the settings for guest options was a nice touch. Then when I went to add guests, that's when the error message appeared, as being unable to add guests. I tried again, then went to exit. Another error message appeared, as unable to save project! I tried this countless times, rebooting only, deleting, rebooting and re-downloading, disconnecting and re-connecting the Facebook authorisation link, registering with a different email as a stand alone login, selecting different projects and categories, but still no success. I emailed the company, sent screenshots as requested and then heard nothing for weeks. So, now it's time to give up and write a review, warning others to skip this app and find another. I have given it enough chances, I have given the company time to respond. Maybe the version for a computer works better, I don't know. I needed one for the iPad and this one failed..Version: 2.6.4
✓ Not so happy anymoreI used to use this app and it looked nice. Now the cards are so hard to see to pick from so kind of just picking. The ads are awful and when the invite goes out its so small cheap and tacky adds all over. When I get my replies in. I'm going to look for something different. Too cheap looking ... And no preview anymore.. But I did check on my lap top after reading other reviews and yes it's much nicer there then on phone.. Unfortunately most people are reading on mobile .. I'd pay my .99 to get those adds off like other apps. I just got a credit report 2019 and my email with my password was compromised from this site. So anyone using this with a password should check your acct....Version: 9.1.1
✓ Get with the times people!!! I won’t be using you that’s for sure!!!!!What’s wrong with you people???.Version: 43.1.1
✓ EviteIt would be good if you could use phone numbers as I am having problem getting email address.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Love content, mobile app is not user friendlyI love the content, styles, designs that evite has, so I've used it for at least a decade. The mobile app however is clunky, sometimes unresponsive and doesn’t allow you to manage invitations/guest lists like the desktop version. Please mirror the features in web version. I have to tap on alerts icon multiple times before it responds. I’d like to update guests and update RSVP’s as needed for those that spontaneously RSVP’d in person or through some other means outside of Evite. Make the app simple to use. I should be able to select any guest or multiple guests and update status quickly or all at once (like checkbox to select multiple options). Today there are also way too many clicks/layers of clicking to drill down to guests or send a message in the app. It would be nice to simply hit a button on the main page that sends an pre-populated message to guests ( like a reminder to RSVP) or even a feature that allows me to schedule frequency or a date to deliver a default or custom message. Also if can eliminate the need to select an invitation at login if i only have one upcoming?.Version: 57.0.0
✓ Miss QI can't seem to be able to create an invitation using the app.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Easy but uselessI’ll keep this short and to the point. I’ve used this service in the past and decided to use it again for a party. Setting up the invite and getting it out was simple enough. I like that you can use text to send invite. That’s where the usefulness of this app stops. I now have to personally call or text all the people invited because their RSVP’s are NOT COMING THROUGH. I sent out a message reminding people to RSVP and received multiple text messages back stating they responded to the Evite weeks ago. EVITE is simply not updating properly and now I have to do the work the app will not. Fortunately I’m able To fix this well before the party but I will NOT use this app again..Version: 4.3.21
✓ Design flaw on rsvp toggleI created and paid for a premium create your own invite. My guests alerted me they couldn’t RSVP. I reached out to Evite customer service and they let me know the RSVP collection option needs to be towed on when setting up the invite. It’s automatically toggle off and somehow I missed it. But it’s not something that they can fix once the invite is created. don’t know how I missed it but that’s super frustrating because what’s the point of using Evite if you can’t collect responses. I would’ve just texted out my custom design. so that was a waste of money and they didn’t offer a refund but said I could redo it all. Too late. i’ve used Evite before and it really can be helpful. This is just a design flaw in my opinion and should be correctable..Version: 65.0.0
✓ Poor supportI’m not getting all the options in the app that I should. The what to bring and poll options are not showing. Sent in several requests for support and nothing. Just repetitive emails asking if issues have resolved on their own. Truly disappointed..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Why does it keep saying “user required”?I have logged in and tried to make free invitations quite a few times and failed. It keep saying user required. Help please.Version: 53.1.0
