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

I install the app and start using it right away, which is great. But then when I do something else and go to get back into the app, I'm signed out and tells me there's a problem signing in. There's a problem if I use my email and password and if I try to sign in with Google. If I uninstall and reinstall it, it's all good. But as soon as I get out and try to get back in, same issue. I'm paying for this app, so it better work!

Does not work most of the time. It will work for an hour, and then will sign you out of your account. Then, when you try to sign back in, it will give you errors to the point where the only way for you to check on invites or RSVPs is to use the desktop version or uninstall and reinstall the app. This comes after the fact their last update is supposed to fix the sign in issues. Very inconvenient! That being said, when the app works, it works as expected.

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.

Make sure you have every phone number or email address saved before you get started. Also, if you have to go back for any information you will loose everything and have to start over. If you need to input a phone number..good luck!! This process took me 35 minutes to put in 2 numbers. The app freezes and it takes 2-3 minutes for each number to appear. I had to use this app for the electronic birthday invitations that we booked. I will not be using it again.

First of all, I really like this app. Its brilliant, beautifully designed cards with wonderful features- especially the potluck feature! But sending out invites is a pain. it takes a long time to load the contacts, forget typing in a new one. And then once you are finally able to select them it doesn't always load, this last party took me at least 4x to send. Also I don't want to choose between text AND email, both is better. And this last party so many people couldn't open the link!

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.

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.

The cards are attractive and the app is easy to use. However, a serious drawback is that in the updated app it no longer shows you (in either your account or dashboard) what level of service you have, how many cards you have left for the year, and when your year starts. I do remember but there is no longer an easy way to make sure that Punchbowl and you have the same understanding. If that's not fixed I will probably cancel my account before they automatically renew it.

Beautiful Invitation. I received many compliments. I love the option for guest to add names and tell if there are kids. Down side is once i select view guest there doesn't appear to be an option to back to the main screen. Also scrrens turns black when I need to add a guest that is not a contact in my phone. For now I added them in my phone and will delete them after the event.
