Community Voice & Feedback
Not everyone that you can invite to a party has the ability to receive or the understanding of the electronic response. Would be nice to be able to print some invitations when needed.
As with all Apple apps the design and simplicity is wonderful. Unfortunately if you are a non Apple user and don’t have an Apple ID you have to jump through hoops to RSVP which makes this a non starter for the less technically inclined.
I love creating invites in this app — they’re beautiful and a lot of fun to make.
However, even with only one invite in the app, Invites has used over 1.8 GB of data in the last two weeks, entirely from background usage.
Until this is fixed, recommend turning off cellular data for this app in iOS Settings.

Doesn’t sync between devices. Wound up with multiple invites to the same event. Adding contacts is miserable. 1000 character limit for no apparent reason.
Mostly, I really regret using this instead of any of the other invite platforms.

Good. Nice simple, classic Apple interface. Shared photo album feature isn’t working but is a great idea.
Recommend adding an “attire” tile.
Recommend adding a planning feature for the host before the invite goes live. It could feature:
- draft guest list without actually inviting
- list of potential locations

Please add an option to be able to add a co-host! It seems so simple and would make this a much better app.
I used this for my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party. I thought it would be a good alternative to facebook events because I am not FB friends with all of his coworkers.
Unfortunately out of 40 people 10 did not get the invite even though I could see the invite in our text message thread, and I found out too late for them to come to the party. It also did not track everyone that the invite had been sent to and their RSVPs. For these reasons I will not be using this app again.

This is the app I didn’t know I needed!!! Perfect! Simply amazing!

Great app but it’s wild a first partly apple app doesn’t have an iPad OS optimized UI . Please we need this
It’s good
Very accessible and manageable. Complex tasks turned into a simple way of planning tasks and events with friends and family. Gracias a Dios.
It’s great that Apple has built this app but it desperately needs an iPad and MacOS native version.
When planning an event it’s too difficult on a small screen for certain aspects.

Add a cohosting feature and proper controls
Great concept visually clean but communication needs improvement. If I send a message or time update in the invite app, guest should receive an actual phone notification with the actual message, not have to randomly open the app to discover updates. Also, photo sharing is not intuitive. Create a simple share folder/album where guest can easily view, upload and or download all or selected photos. Right now it feels more complicated and it should for something designed around events and memories.
