| 2024-11-18 |  | | Tldr; complete scam. They require to to subscribe for premium service just to send it out. They falsely advertise under $6 per month, when really it's over $50 / year - they don't allow you to subscribe on a monthly basis. If I can't subscribe per month, you don't offer a mo that service. They just hope your desperate enough to pay a yearly sub for the single event you want to invite ppl to, because they don't tell you that until you've finished the invite. Horrible company. |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | The app gets the job done for sending an invitation and has lots of free options to include. I wanted to give it a 3.5 but wasn't given that option. My problems were trying to figure out how to choose invitees from my contact list and how/where to put some additional info I wanted to include. I was able to get it all in. Some directions would be nice. |
| 2024-10-17 |  | | I like it a lot but too expensive. $25 for 8 invitations is steep so I used the Free version. I'd gladly pay if I used this once a month instead of once a year. I may use it again at Christmas or birthdays now that I see how easy it is. I mean a pack of invites is $4-10 so this is comparable. A one time fee of $5-10 would be reasonable, not a monthly subscription. I'm tired of everyone trying to nickel and dime us to death. No, you haven't changed my life that drastically. I may go back to Canva |
| 2024-10-14 |  | | Used free version to create & send e-invites for my daughter's birthday party. Very useful app, with quite a good variety of options for the free version. Would be nice to be able to write details using paragraphs for clarity, might be possible in paid version. The paid options look reasonable for someone who would use for more and larger events. |
| 2024-09-15 |  | | I have used this for several parties now, and it has enhanced the hosting/inviting experience every time. I have the free version, and there are still a lot of options to choose from and lots of customizing you can do. Plus, it makes tracking your guest list and sending reminders so easy. :) |
| 2024-02-17 |  | | Mixed review. When first experiencing the Punchbowl app, I was excited to try it supposedly being free. Not so much. With the event that we were hosting, we were at a crossroads, ditch the idea, or pay for membership. We went the latter route, and at the lowest level for one year. Though we find it very objectionable to be lured in, we have since enjoyed utilizing our membership to send special cards or invites, with ads, and not using the "extra" cards for extra costs. |
| 2023-08-05 |  | | The only down side I've found with the app is how it sends out the invites. You're type in your friends/family/whoever else you invite's contact information and the app will sends the invitations (via link). This is great except I've had a few friends who were hesitatant to open the link because it doesn't send from my number and it looks a little bit like a scam. It would be easier if you could just copy and send the link. That aside, the app has been extremely helpful. |
| 2023-06-05 |  | | Says the Google sign in issue was fixed... But it's not. Can't use Google or my email address to log in, need to reinstall just to check my RSVPs *Update: was told to use the computer app instead of the phone app, was able to log in but couldn't send announcements to my guests. Told them all of this and they just reset my password.. which wasn't an issue. This app isn't worth the hassle and it's a bummer because it used to be really cool |
| 2023-05-25 |  | | It's mostly a nice app. The Google login doesn't work for me for some reason, but I can still login via password. The interfaces and the flow are all really nice. I guess I have to compare it to using Facebook events. Personally, I'd much rather plan events using a paid service than a free one. That way, I'm the customer, rather than an advertiser. With Facebook, the advertiser is the customer. With punchbowl, it's my choice whether to pay. |
| 2023-05-23 |  | | Good app but it would be way better if I didn't have to log in ten times a day. The notes say the Google log in issue was fixed but now it seems to have become a general log in issue. I kept getting kicked out using Google to log in then having trouble logging back in, so I made an password and all and that didn't fix the issue. It's very irritating. I just logged in, checked something, closed the app, immediately reopened and I was logged put AGAIN. |
