Invitation Maker • Hobnob RSVP for Negative User Reviews

Great until it was okay...I really liked this app at first. The invite was easy to set up and add guests, there is a nice variety of invite themes, and it has the ability to monitor, update/edit rsvp’s, etc. However, about 15 days before my event I couldn’t update the rsvp’s anymore. I could only remove guests or add them as a co-host. The option to make updates should be available up until the day before the event, in my opinion. Knowing that the rsvp edit/update options change I probably won’t use the app again, which is frustrating because it’s a great app otherwise. In addition, it would be nice to have a feature that allows the user to send a reminder. The app does this automatically a few days after the original invite is sent, but I would have liked to send another reminder two weeks before, but it’s not an option..Version: 4.6.1

Terrible! DO NOT USE! WASTE OF MONEY!I heard about this app from a family member who’s said that it’s a good feature. Especially to help go green when planning events. I used this to help plan my wedding and it’s been a nightmare to use since. When I send updates to my guests and wedding party, no one is receiving the messages. This glitch is a big inconvenience and rip off, since I’m paying money for the features they provide and these same features aren’t working!!!!! It has somewhat affected the efficiency of my wedding planning. Due to the fact that now I have to message all my guests in text messages, when the app was suppose to prevent this. If I knew this one was trash, I would’ve never used it to help plan such an important and special day to me!!.Version: 2.18

Did Not Understand the Terms if UsageI want to like and use your app and am even potentially willing to pay a reasonable subscription price to do so. However, after reading the Terms of Use — Yes; some users do that — I was not sure whether Hobnob sells, rents, gives, or distributes my phone number or my contacts’ phone numbers to third parties. If so, this should be stated clearly and up front. As it is the Terms of Use seem to imply that Hobnob does not do that. I am skeptical, however, because, although I see the in app purchase, this sort of thing — selling user data — is a typical business model. By the way— I gave it only three stars in part because I couldn’t bypass the “Please Rate Hobnob” Popup unless I have it a thumbs up. There’s something wrong with the way that screen interacts with the iPhone X’ screen and keyboard..Version: 3.5.2

Worthless unless you payFree only allows 10 invites. Every time I attempted to send the invitations it would say there was a problem. If I didn’t get that error it would say it was sending but nothing ever went. Why would I pay even $4/mo for limited options on a product that doesn’t work? After reading many of the reviews it seems like the most recent update removed a lot of features on the free or cheaper plans and they want you to pay $47/mo for full features. SERIOUSLY???? Who would do that unless it was a tax write-off? Developers, more options for less money equals happy customers. Happy customers share the product and get their friends using it and in turn those friends spread the word to their friends, and so on. Unhappy customers find new products and advise their peers to not use said product. Just a bit of a tip for you..Version: 2.23.1

New updates lost me as userI’ve been using hobnob for a few months now and have really enjoyed it, and had lots of feedback that it worked really well for my monthly event invitations. However, they recently removed many of the features for pay only, and it’s made it quite difficult to coordinate my events. The changes also seem to affect the text messages/notifications so people aren’t actually seeing my invite anymore. Definitely bummed since it worked so well at first, but this will be the last event I’ll be using hobnob for. Update: Appreciate your developer response, and I understand needing to charge in order to be sustainable. Unfortunately, $46 just to be able to send updates and I still have to individually contact people to check the app to make sure they see the invite isn’t going to work for me right now. I’ll check back in a few months to see if anything has changed since I really did enjoy your product before..Version: 2.17

Not excellentNot easy for recipient users. A lot of features were not customizable ie font, placement etc on the invites.Version: 5.6.1

Terrible!Not reliable, my invites said delivered but people did not receive them. Very annoying. Also - I found the terms very misleading. I thought I was signing up for a monthly subscription with a free trial period and instead was just billed for a whole year. Waste of 30 bucks as I will never use it! Apple would not refund either. DO NOT USE!!!!.Version: 3.0.2

Great for a Younger Generation’s Event; Horrible for Older People.I’m using this to invite people to my wedding and it has been really great. However, one of the biggest flaws of this app is it’s inability to add guests yourself as the Host of an event. For example: My aunts and uncles are all in their 60’s so they are not very tech savvy. Almost none of them fill out the RSVP but as you might guess I need a list of everyone’s name. The simple solution would be to add people myself, since I am the host. However, Hobnob has made it impossible for the host to add “attendees” themselves. The system actively works against it. I’m not sure if this inability to add “attendees” is because they don’t get money when the host does not send out invites but it sure does defeat the purpose of a list. I now have to use my notes app as the guest list, which is much more work. This practically makes hobnob a disposable, digital “Save the Date”. I would not recommend the use of Hobnob for weddings..Version: 5.3.3

BummerJust left a long review and it got deleted because the nickname was taken already. What?! Why delete my whole review? Give me an option to change it. Last night I tried to send an important invite for or wedding reception, attached a picture we designed and instead it sent out a completely blank photo (when I clicked on the blank pic it would show the full picture so I falsely assumed it would work. My bad there for not testing it, but I also didn't upload a black photo). It looked like spam and tacky instead of slick and fun. Then I had to upgrade to premium ($15) to resend it with the picture I uploaded. That finally worked. Really bummed about the experience, wish the program worked flawlessly and would love a refund..Version: 2.14

Confusion & Ads Sent to Premium User InviteesIt really could be a good app. It’s clean, it’s organized, has great tools for managing even some of the most complex events. There’s two major areas that impact my rating. 1) When invites are sent, they are not affiliated with my phone number or email. The invite comes into their inbox, and if it’s an unknown sender, some invitees will ignore it. About 1/2 my guests from my latest event completely ignored it because they thought it was spam. This requires a ton of follow up that the app is supposed to prevent. 2) As a premium user, I have a paid subscription that (in my mind) shouldn’t include ads for anyone, myself or my invitees. I get complaints from those I sent invites to that they are receiving Hobnob ads for them to sign up for Hobnob, and they have to watch the ad before they can see the materials - not every time, but frequent enough where they don’t want to go into the invite and keep asking me questions that are clearly answered in the invite. I can understand Hobnob trying to promote itself, but when it gets to the point of detracting from the invitees ability to actually see the invite when they want (or need) to, I have an issue. It really detracts from an otherwise useful app..Version: 5.3.3

Lots of flaws.There is some weird thing when I was trying to create the invitation for my daughter’s birthday party for 3 pm. The only option I had is 15:00. There was no way to change that. Also, some of the designs had date format in such a weird way: April 28,15....for us it looked like I put a wrong year but all it was April 28 (at) 15:00 hour. No designs had a year. That was very strange to me. Won’t use this app again and I wish I wouldn’t pay for it. To developer who responded with “there is no issue with app but rather it is your device setting being 24 hour format”. Thank you. I know I am using 24 hour format but I think your app should have option of editing time without attaching it to setting on my phone. I wonder why developer didn’t respond about issue with no year and having hour showing up right after month and day so it looks like it is a year not a time? The response didn’t change my mind about the app..Version: 3.0.2

The FREE original was betterThis was my go to for beautiful and unique invites that didn’t get lost in people’s emails or the mail but allowed for immediate response and the sharing of photos of the event. This was it, or so I thought.... the update of this requires a “subscription” for basic things the app did for free previously. So people like me who have been using the app for YEARS are forced to pay for what we were getting for free. I can’t tell you how many people have started using the app as a result of my using this app to invite them to my events. I’m also disappointed that they would switch over to such a drastic cost model that doesn’t consider the people who were here from the start..Version: 2.18

Invitations didn’t go outI paid money for this app and half of the invitations weren’t received by the people we sent them too even though the app said that they received the invitations. Very frustrating. We ended up having to get another app to communicate with everyone. Do not bother buying this app..Version: 2.23.1

IGH staff Appreciation BBQI found it easy to create the event and make a nice invitation. But This was not user friendly I had a hard time finding my replies and staff were unsure what to do.Version: 5.1.3

Could be better- but would still useDecided to use this to organize a bday party for adults meeting in another city. The creation of the invitation was great - lots of cool options and everyone rec’d the text with initial invite. My complaint/suggestion is that I wanted to be able to continue texting everyone through the app after the initial invite was sent. However the app isn’t designed to do that - so incorrect assumption on my part. After the initial invite - the users have to use the app to see the group messages and apparently the app isn’t that great about sending notifications consistently. So to ensure everyone rec’d important messages, I ended up sending group texts from my cell phone AND from the HobKnob app. I was hoping to just use the HobKnob app. Hopefully the push to text feature is something that can be added in the future..Version: 3.5

Hated itHad the worst experience. It was confusing to alooot of my guest. Nobody read the text notification correctly. I couldn’t resend the invite for folks who lost the invite text msg in their text. So I had delete and resend again. There was no link where I could ask for guest to only bring one guest with them. I had to type that specific instructions in the details which nobody new was below the actual invite. They didn’t know that they had to scroll down to see the details. When I sent updates, the updated text msg only allowed people who downloaded the app to view it. Nobody wants to HAVE to download the app. I couldn’t message specific guest through the app like I can using Evite. It was just not all worth using for me. The only thing that drew me to the app was the motion invites. This app had a very nice selection but not functional at all to me and pretty much allll of my guest. I had to do a lot more of texting people individual updates or just the invite itself because the app wasn’t helpful with that AT ALL. Made my wedding planning extremely hard! Then I tried to leave my review on the app to why I didn’t like the app and the send feedback button wouldn’t work.Version: 4.5.2

Fresh look but glitchesI have used a couple other apps which I found a bit busy or complicated to navigate. I like the clean fresh look of this one and ease of use. My only complaint is that some of the people I send invites to never get them….Version: 3.0.2

Has its ups and downsI love it to make cute invites, very quick and simple. The only issue I have had with it is the people I invite don’t always receive the invitation. Only 2 out of 11 people got my daughters birthday invitation and those two people had different types of phones so I’m not sure the issue. Just make sure to follow up if you aren’t getting rsvps back.Version: 3.4.3

Disappointed nowI originally loved this app. Text invites and reminders to guests for my own events and receiving them from others until I realized that once the app is actually downloaded you no longer receive invites, reminders, or updates via text message. The text feature is what most of us love. Not only that the app doesn’t show a notification on its symbol (at least not on my phone ) so you actually have to go into the app to check for invites, updates, etc. I missed reminders, etc. I’ve removed the app. Hopefully they will integrate the text feature even for those who download the actual app because it’s the best feature..Version: 2.16

The site could use some improvements.I like the site, but there are a few things that I think need to improve. 1. There is no way to edit the guest list. My daughter entered mostly email addresses because she didn’t have everyone’s telephone numbers at the time & when she later got the telephone numbers I was not able to update the information. 2. There is no way to make a contact list directly on hobnob. You have to get contacts from your phone or enter information manually, but I don’t see a way to create a contact list to be able to refer to for future invites like I can on evite. 3. I like that I can add my own flyer, but there is no way to add my own fonts or background appearance, so You have to choose the very limited fonts and graphics on the site..Version: 3.4.1

Full of BugsI loooove the idea of this app! I was so optimistic I signed up for a subscription right away to get access to premium designs. I was excited to put my money to good use and got to work on my first invite. I started encountering bugs while editing. Location would not save, but then it would appear saved in the draft. I’d edit event details and all would seem well, then I’d come back later to see things hadn’t updated. When I thought I’d finally got everything saved, I was excited to send. But no. I repeatedly got the same error “hmmmm something’s not working. Please wait a few moments and try again.” So I’d wait, and I’d try, and wait and try. Log out. Close app. Check for updates. Restart my phone. Endless tries. Endless errors. I need to get this invite out ASAP and so now what???!!!!! Lame experience. Unhappy customer..Version: 3.5

This used to be freeNow the app is so expensive!😢😡.Version: 4.0

Help Message issueI get notification but no content and so I don't know what people are responding. Please help. I've used my work phone as a test sending message to my personal phone but no message just a notification but no content....help please I have the full version.Version: 4.0

Will use again! Read below!So I really enjoyed using HobNob. I took a star though because I really am tired of having to pay for every service through in app purchases. Like it’s just another thing that gets you hooked and then you have to pay. On a brighter note! I love the easy to use set up! I love the beautiful templates that are free! Also, I love how you can communicate through group and individual chat in app. Some people though did have a problem knowing to click and RSVP. The reminder texts the app sends out were also very helpful though too! Will use again!.Version: 4.14.20

So CloseHobnob does a lot of things well, and my favorite part is the fact that you can send invites through text message because it’s faster and more interesting than sending them via email. BUT there are some bugs that I’m hoping get addressed soon. Picture management is a challenge. After I upload photos, they display in “random order” and definitely not in the order I selected. That’s confusing to invitees. Also, it’s not obvious whether or not you can download and save photos (I assume you can but I haven’t figured it out yet). It would be super cool if you could also add video clips in the same storage area. Also, the app doesn’t update when people respond to invites so it feels very clunky at times... I have to close and re-launch the app just to get it to display the right number of RSVPs. Overall, I like Hobnob but would have to see a lot of improvement to stay loyal. On the plus side, their customer service team has been very helpful when I’ve reached out to them..Version: 3.4.7

Don't waste your time!Most invites did not get delivered even though they said they were. Guests that did receive were asked to download the app to view (which was not stated in the description) Asked for tech support and no reply.(Edit: Did receive reply eventually but was too late). Do NOT recommend!.Version: 3.0.1

Over pricedDecent app. Over priced for what it is. Not all recipients receive the invites although it says delivered. Just too expensive..Version: 4.5.2

Disappointed with the changes to this app. Won’t use againI loved this app when it was free and allowed unlimited invites, reminders, and sent without errors. Now that they app costs money, the app limits your invites. My usual guests for this annual event had trouble opening the invites or even receiving them. No reminders can be sent unless you pay extra. Confirmation reply’s were not working properly so I had multiple guests show up who said they sent an RSVP but it never registered a reply on the app. I contacted customer service 4 times with concerns and issues regarding my annual event (which I’ve used this app for previously), with a reply of absolutely no help or refunds due to the constant issues. This app was great for previous events when it was free, but I’ll never use it again with the awful changes and lack of customer service. Beyond discouraged.Version: 2.24.7

Great App Overall but missing a few featuresI really like the Hobnob app overall. It’s very easy to use and I prefer sending invites over text rather than email. The thing is, the Hobnob app doesn’t send your event description via text. People can only view it when they click the link or download the app. I would pay extra if I was able to send people texts directly. I understand they want as many people to download the app as possible - so forcing people to download the app to view the texts or longer messages could do this - but it’s annoying. I much rather people be able to do things and see things all via text. I would pay significantly more for this feature..Version: 4.1.2

Free version limitations for 10+ invitesOverall the app is pretty easy to use and for a basic e-vite allows you to customize a good deal. I’m rating it 3 stars due to the invitation limitations on the free version (which didn’t use to be there). You can only invite 10 people before needing to upgrade to a paid version which is no where near enough for a party or group gathering that would need an invite (I could easily put under 10 people in a group text). I only use an e-vite once a year so for me it’s not worth paying for the app and potential added costs if they change like they have before (used to be able to invite more people on the free version). I will use another e-vite app this time around (or worst case scenario put out a group text or 2)..Version: 3.3.1

Rip Off!!!I got this app because I wanted to have automatic reminders for the party. I upgraded and spent 40 something bucks. It's the most I have ever spent in an app. Not one of my guests got a reminder. Not the week before or the day before or anything. This app is a joke and I will never recommend it. I want my money back!!! I have just started a new business where I will be sending out invitations for events and thought this was the way to go but I guess not!! I want to know why they didn't get a reminder???!? Is it because the only way they can get a reminder is if they download the app?! Because if so that is deceiving and if would have known that I wouldn't have purchased the app!!! I want to know what the company is going to do about it!! I want a refund!!.Version: 2.18

Guests are Not Receiving InviteI was really excited about using this service however my daughter and I spent time creating her birthday invite and I set her as a cohost. All seemed great until she tried to invite a guest. The app shows the invite was sent and delivered to the correct phone number as a text, but the guest never got the invite. We tried multiple times and still nothing. This is making this app completely useless as the intent of sending invites via text message is not working properly. I have even activated the free trail which will charge my card once the week is up and it still isn’t working correctly. Update- in response to the developer’s response......The persons phone was right next to me. They did not have the app installed and did NOT get the text message with the invite. The app makes it seem that the person does not need the app to be notified they have an invite. It makes it hard to use because you then are forced to make sure everyone you invite downloads the app first so they get notified. No one lied about anything..Version: 3.0.2

Not compatible with all phonesToo many steps to create a simple card . Doesn’t work when the carriers view invitation . They are forced to download the app to view invite n connect with host . Also closes out randomly . Only thing is they have nice invites designs.Version: 3.4.3

Nice app but disappointed in the upgrade fee!Overall this is a nice app. Great alternative to Evite since you can text out the invites. A few months ago I would have give them 5 stars because I’ve used this for numerous events and have loved it. However, tonight when I went to use it i found out that it was very restricted and I have to pay a monthly “upgrade” fee to get all of the features. I don’t mind paying a one time fee for an app but I don’t like being forced into a monthly fee option to send out invites. It’s not worth it to me when I only send out 6-8 a year so I will have to find an alternative..Version: 2.17
