Pro Party Planner for Negative User Reviews

✓ It's usefulThis app was very helpful and is great at keeping you organized..HQ LVersion: 3.3

✓ Useful app for a party plannerIt's useful and has helped with organising my events but I can't seem to find how to delete functions. Edit but no delete. Doesn't make sense..AngbridgeVersion: 3.5

✓ A waste of time and money!Needs a lot of work. My event is six months away and you can only timeline up to two months before the event. What about weddings where the planning can start a year in advance? There is no way to assign dates and alarms to tasks. There is a set number of references for tasks and I can't add to them or even get the preloaded ones to activate. My budget tab doesn't work. I tried to enter $5,000 and it is stuck/frozen at $5.00. The guest list set-up is lacking. You can't print the list or even manipulate it in any way. You can't even alphabetize it. i can email the people in the guest list but you can't email the list TO anyone. I had high hopes for this app but it doesn't deliver.. I'm bummed that i paid $5.00 for it. The only positive thing is the ability to snap photos of the venue. I am by profession an event planner, this app just slows me down..Sid64Version: 1.5

✓ Pretty pointlessHard to navigate, doesn't actually seem very useful sorry..Keen plannerVersion: 6.20

✓ Great but....This is a great app, really helpful but after the latest update, PPP often crashes (especially when I close the keyboard) hence the 3 stars. Hopefully this will be fixed soon 🙏.KanuteyVersion: 3.0

✓ Not intuitive after 2 hours have given upVery 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.Markk-UKVersion: 8.05

✓ Has potentialSo 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..$simVersion: 6.20

✓ There should be a warning that they are no longer updating this appI 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..TinkerShell-10Version: 7.30

✓ New App with Great PotentialTo be fair I downloaded this app on the first day it was released but it still has too many bugs and crashes that should have been addressed during testing and before release. It has a great Guest List Tracker that interfaces with iPads address book. No problems there. The other planning tools in the app caused the it to crash repeatedly. And some of the drop down categories could not be selected with taps as instructed. I'm hoping for updates soon but I don't think I'll be able to us this app for an upcoming party other than to track my guest list..Wendy PontonVersion: 1

✓ Worst app I’ve ever usedSpent 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..Mum2fourVersion: 7.30

✓ Can’t even get support.App keeps crashing.Jala.Version: 7.30

✓ So much potential, but very disappointingWe looked at a huge number of apps to try and find one to use for planning an event for a nonprofit. We had a number of volunteers who were coordinating, so we were hopeful that this would work for us to be able to sync info between us all as we worked to coordinate the 140 volunteers as well as all of the guests. We found that the app was not very user friendly. We hoped that we could use some of the features (like the photo of the venue) as a way to assign staff to specific areas to serve. About the only thing that worked for us was getting a data base of our volunteers but checking them in didn't sync between our multiple devises as we had hoped. (If you used both at the same time it wouldn't save and sync both information- we were hoping that it could sync during the event to see who was there with out having to reset each time to sync.) Prior to the event, we had to be careful to not accidentally delete the work someone else did by resetting during a sync. All this to say, we will be looking for a new app to use for our event next year :(.Nickname843256Version: 5.5

✓ Don't waist your $I have been using this app for organizing an Communion. Here is what the problem is with this app. 1. When you create a a table and who sits where it won't show you only the guests that are coming but every guest that you invited ( that makes almost useless to put who is not coming) 2. The table doesn't show how many people are at each table you just need to know!! Useless to put how many people are in each family. 3. You can't print the list of who is seating at which table even though you have a nice list that you can only view it. Useless!! 4. The budget is so complicated with all the attachment that I just stick with the basic and don't use the menu planning tab as its completely useless. That won't print either. 5. Printing guest list is the only thing you can do and it shows everything but the important stuff like where are they seating. This app is missing so much and the person that created was most likely never threw a party in his live. And for all of you that think it so great I think you must of been the creators family or friend. Lets get real if you are going to make an app like this organize your brain first!!!!.Aga247Version: 2.8

✓ Good, but not what I want.I'm looking for a good, easy to use party app. My wife and I entertain 2-3 times a month at our home and want an easy way to generate a guest list, send out email invitations and keep track of who's coming. I have purchased about 10 party Apps and none of them are exactly what I want. On generating a guest list. I want to have the option to import a group list of my friends that live in the City that I'm having the Party. This app and some of the other apps, import from my complete contact list on the iPad. I have 1400 contacts on my contact list and don't want to go thru all the names to invite 50 people. So, it's important to me to import from a group. On sending email invitations Most apps have all the names of the people I'm inviting in the email. I don't want my guest to see who else is invited. I don't know about this app, because I never got that far into the program. This app and some others, spend a lot of effort on seating , budget, etc I don't care about these things, because all my parties are house parties.57guyVersion: 3.7

✓ Not happyI 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..Frenchi80Version: 6.31

✓ Good but can't use to plan children's partiesI have been using this app for years to plan my daughter's birthday parties but unfortunately the latest update adds every guest as an adult and you do not have the option to select child only so will now be looking for a new app :(.SandyK3Version: 4.6

✓ Support 404 not foundI 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”..Oconnorjudy79Version: 8.00

✓ I want my money backI 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..Silly crazy fun!Version: 5.9

✓ So soDid not work for me... I was looking for ability to rapidly and easily manage my guest list .. Who is coming with who? are they bringing a guest? or are they with someone else on my contact list ? who are my top 50 invites, top 80 etc. ability to adjust and do hierarchical planning. I have to cut off somewhere. It is not even easy to delete a name from the list using this app. A simple delete button would be good!.MarionparryVersion: 1.6

✓ Party PlannerI 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..St. Paul CheriVersion: 5.9

✓ RidiculouslyThe app itself is alright, has its flaws, but I guess it is the best Party planning app out there right now. In order to use it on two devices (iPhone and iPad=same apple ID) you have to pay on top of the $4.99 for a subscription for four or twelve months! Really? Useless for me, too expensive! Might be worth it for an event planner, but not if you only plan a kids Birthday Party... I just waisted 5 bucks 😡.DreenaaVersion: 1.7

✓ Impossible to navigate.....I found this app impossible to navigate and overly complicated. A refund is in order..Event planner....Version: 6.31

✓ Robotic OverloardI bought this app to help plan my parents 50th anniversary party. At first it seemed amazing however after the first few days, i relized it was very limited on the task it can automate/ complete or even help with. As eveyone else seems to think its main function that works is managing the guest list... perhaps a renaming of this app to reflect its main function is in order..KrispyrobotVersion: 3.3

✓ Need lots of improvementBought this app because I have a Christmas party I need to arrange at home for about 20people. I find the apps needs a lot of improvement. When I added the guest list, it seems to have a bug, like some lines can be empty. When I clicked on a name of the guest, it shows another guest's name. The features, look and feel are great however, I still need to explore more to see how things can be improved..Coffee addictionVersion: 1.5

✓ Don’t do it!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..Shoo29Version: 8.05

✓ Ap crashesThe ap consistently crashes each time you attach a picture to the profile or of the gift received. Other than that the ap is very user friendly. Would give more stars if everything worked as advertised..Mr. GoodnightVersion: 1.2

✓ Waste of money!I'm 12 and I bought this app because I love planing parties and $5 is worth more to a 12 year old than it is to a 20 year old. I payed for it and then I updated it and it disappeared from my iPod!! I payed money for it and it was a waste! I tested the new update on my mom's iPad and there wasn't anything inappropriate or mature! I loved this app before I got ripped off. Can you guys please lower the rating! If I didn't get ripped off I'd rate this 5 stars. Since when was there "frequent intense sexual content" or "mild horror fear themes"? The only thing in the rating that is true is "infrequent mild alcohol use" but that is only when you add alcoholic beverages to the menu!.KrallfamVersion: 2.8

✓ Will be fantastic with a few updatesA great app, but would be fantastic (probably even worth 5 stars) if you could import from a spreadsheet, and print guest and task lists Also having to pay $3 for a few moths of sharing... Bit rich, I won't be paying for that, don't mind buying the function as a once off purchase but having to subscribe to it for only a few months!!.Jason&KateVersion: 1.2

✓ Syncing does not workDespite 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..Zulu39Version: 8.05

✓ Has everything, but not user friendlyThis app has the potential to be great, but it misses the mark. I find it difficult and cumbersome to navigate, organize and use. I will keep using it however because it has potential. I hope that they come up with updates to make it easier..LaurafromcantonohioVersion: 3.3

✓ Need help with app openingThis app is pretty good at keeping me organized for my Frozen party. 2 things: 1.i just bought this a week ago ... Last 2 days When I tap on it nothing happens! It won't open.. Can you fix this problem? 2. Can you allow us to add more categories along with ones provided eg; decorations .. How about supplies etc..Munchcrunch1008Version: 5.0

✓ Good planning appOverall, this app has been easy to use and works well. One suggestion - I'd like a view of the guest list that tells me the totals of guests actually attending my event instead of the total number invited and the percentage responded. To accurately plan food and favors, one needs to quickly see how many adults and children will actually be AT the event. Also, there should be a field to mark how many guests are attending - if I invite four, but only three from a family can attend it'd be helpful to have this info somewhere..Kelly TaylorVersion: 1.6

✓ Missing Some Basics..update...DON'T BOTHERUpdated 3/25 Well after trying to use this for a simple restaurant bday party, I came back to take away a star. Frankly, one star is generous. The final straw was trying to put numbers in the budget. We have xx number of guests coming for a $xx a plate lunch. Pretty basic meal formula for 99% of event venues out there. Surely this nifty "party" app will handle this in a snap. NO. No way to enter "price per plate" then have it use your # of guests and do the math for, nope. Get out a calculator, this worthless app wants the total number. I'm dead serious, you are better off with a spreadsheet, don't waste your money. Got this to organize a birthday party for my 80 yo mother. Party is at a restaurant. This app has no place for the basic venue information you constantly go back to, address, contact name and phone number, place to log calls/conversations,etc. I've had to stuff it all in "notes". Meh..Bromo999Version: 2.6

✓ Unhappy 2 DISAPPOINTEDApp 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!.Sexi_swaggVersion: 6.31
