Very good app. Helping me to keep track of things and dates. Also great for idea to help decorate and registry. Only thing I would suggest is being able to import and export the guest list. It takes so much time to go into each name one at a time and add all the info. If I could export a temple copy paste the info in it and then import it. That would make me want to use it.
Reviews for Wedding Planner by WeddingWire
Super Useful and Easy! I created an account and there were a lot of things listed on here that I never even thought of. It has been super helpful! There is a checklist to mark off what you've gotten done, and a suggested timeline for those things dependant on the wedding day. I am DIY-ing a lot instead of using many vendors, but having that checklist keeps my train of thought on track. Vendors and venue received many compliments and people were surprised that I found them online.
So far, I'm not impressed. The basic setup settings (you & your partners name, wedding date, etc.) never actually saves the information & IF it does, it's incorrect!! Any messages to potential vendors sends the incorrect date--could you imagine the mishaps that could happen because of this?! Additionally, anything on your "to-do" list, if you go to swipe to delete it, it glitches & wont give you the ability to delete the task quickly. Instead you have to manual open it then delete. Frustrating!
At first I thought this was great, but as I further went along with the planning of my wedding I noticed alot of bugs and just straight issues with the app. The guest list doesn't save properly (what they are invited to). It's actually not organized at all, no way to put it in alphabetical order. The budgeting has issues as well. It doesn't show many vendors if you live in a rural area. You have to input them manually into the system. I honestly wish they would update and reorganize this app.
This app is probably fine if you're going to do a very traditional wedding and check those boxes. We are not, and there are things in the budget section that we're not doing (cake, photographs that are being done free my a professional in the family, florist) that I wasn't able to delete as categories. So it kept trying to adjust my budget and drove me so crazy I had to give up.
I've only been on the app for a few minutes and already have issues. 1. I tried to add a photo to our website and I cannot adjust it. I have to keep editing the photo, go back to the app, go back to the edit website and see if the edited photo fits. 2. I was checking out the registry and it sent me to a sign up page. I entered my info and it kept telling me I had an invalid email. Not sure why I was having to sign up to go to a different section of your app. Too many issues to soon.
It's been very helpful, especially when combined with their website features. That said the budget tool drives me crazy. We had some changes to our budget, and the app made me reset everything in the budget to their estimated cost list. I had already entered in payment info and added/deleted items from their template and I had to re-enter all that info. Later, I had to change our budget again.. With all the stress of planning a wedding already, that's a little thing that really drove me up a wall more than it should have.
This app was worth 5 stars until they updated it to a worse version of their desktop website. Before, I loved it. The interface was easy to navigate and pleasant to use. They updated it halfway through my engagement and then I tolerated it until my wedding was over. Their website feature isn't great either, as I had too many guests share complaints about it not working for them. Overall, I'm not satisfied and I wish they never changed it.
Constantly deletes information, Ill enter our date and location, hit save and it then prompts me to enter our names, which I do and then it immediately brings me back to enter date and location which I've already done and so on. It's just an irritating and completely useless cycle. App used to work fine but now there is no point in even bothering with it. Guess I'll have to try "the knot" now.
