Best event planning interface I’ve used
Great interface and easy to use. Automated texts are helpful!
2025-09-18
Perfect App
So easy to use. App has just the right amount of features. I’ll never go back to facebook events.
2025-09-17
It a beautiful day
It’s always nice to spend time with our neighbors
2025-09-17
planning hangouts is fun now
This app makes planning casual hangouts and parties with my friends feel so fun! I love the UI and design, it’s all so intuitive and really helps get everyone on the same page.
2025-09-15
Questionable ethics of founders
Partiful is an event-planning platform, and while it has no direct connection to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) itself, its founders previously worked for Palantir Technologies, a data-analytics company that has contracted with ICE for its mass-deportation programs, leading to criticism of both companies.
2025-09-12
Amazing app!
Really easy to use as a host and attendee, no other app like it
2025-09-09
Awesome party app
Very simple to use, get your headcount, and keep track of your party or event. Highly recommended!
2025-09-08
Changed my life!!!
The best, coolest, party/event planning app out there. I use it for my entire social life, and it’s let to amazing IRL events that never would’ve happened otherwise. Partiful 4eva! :)
2025-09-08
I guess
The best part of my day is using an app that barely works
2025-09-07
No
Terrible app. Makes you give tons of personal info they use to monetize and the display is terrible. Use alternatives.
2025-09-06
must have for event planning

Old Lady Enjoying App
I’m really enjoying use of this App!!

The most helpful free app ever
I love partiful!!! So customizable, so convenient and it’s incredible it’s free!! They really care about their app development I’m always impressed by the new features.
2025-09-03
THIS APP IS THE MF TRUTH

Makes Gathering Easy
Our friend groups love love love to host and we’ve been throwing events for years. This app has genuinely made everything from throwing full blown vacations to mid-week movie nights so much easier to plan and keep track of. We’re all busy people and I’ve noticed how much more we all get together since starting with it. Both in hosting and attending as a guest. I love the text blast feature and reminders as the dates approach especially.
2025-09-02
Best app ever
love this thanks for making this app seriously makes life easier!
2025-09-01
BEST all in one party invite app
Partiful has ruined any other e-vite service for me. I am grateful you can rsvp to an event without being bombarded with ads or offered a free 3 months of hello fresh. I am grateful for the integrated messaging to easily send out text blasts to invitees. Managing guests and RSVPs as an organizer is seamless. There are lots of fun themes and graphics already created you can add to your invite. I do wish there were some “low-key” themes for more serious kind of events (Partiful for memorial services? lol)
I do wish it had an integration for cost sharing like Splitwise but it has so many other features that compensate for it that I don’t mind.
2025-08-31
Very Good way to spread the word
The App is accessible for all. I like how it’s user friendly. I don’t really like the sign in system. I have an account but sometimes I get logged out. I don’t like that some stuff is hidden but it’s intentional I know. Sometimes the app can be a little busy. But it’s good for someone looking to customize for a public event.
2025-08-31
LOVE IT
It’s cute and makes planning parties and gatherings very easy!
2025-08-31
Ur friend sent u an invite
Actually great. Keep it going with the updates.
2025-08-31
New update
There is a lot of new updates. I like this because it shows improvement. I am looking forward to seeing what the update has.
2025-08-30
This is the best app ever
I tell everyone to make an event on Partiful I literally should be sponsored I’m y’all’s biggest fan
2025-08-28
SMS
I didn’t mind the app but I don’t know why you guys suddenly think it’s okay to spam events via sms when i clearly disabled all forms of notifications and even deleted the app. Do I have to delete my account now to not get any more notifications? It just recently started without any approval or updates that i made.
2025-08-28
Suppperr useful
Me and my friends use this all the time. Super useful and helpful for know what to prepare for for any kind of gathering
2025-08-27
So Convenient
User friendly as a party planner and recipient.
2025-08-27
Wonderful App
I’m a first time user and needed something simple for my Halloween party coming up. Within 5 minutes, I had a funny & creative invitation that exceeded what I was trying to do. You can show guests what they need to bring, wear, and plan for all in a simple push of a button. Partiful makes it simple for you to plan a great event. Thanks for making it easy!
2025-08-26
Unable to open app
I can’t seem to open the app. It just gets stuck on the splash screen. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still does not open. I’ve even tried to contact Partiful support but they never responded to me!
2025-08-26
Apple Invites is a poor knockoff
By far the better app for planning and invites and it’s free!
2025-08-26
Partiful is Easy to Party with!
I’ve used this for the past couple of events and it’s easy!
2025-08-26
Elite Experience
Why use any other invite tool, it’s free, functional, and fun

Great
Great app for builfing events, my fav
2025-08-22
Lost access and support unresponsive
I changed phone number a year ago and recently Partiful signed me out. Unfortunately now I can’t log back in because it’s expecting the old phone number. I reached out to support and they sent me a google forms to fill out, which I did but no replies since then (a week ago) and I suspect I am missing invitations from my friends because of that…
Great app otherwise but this is the first time I am logged out of an app with no way to recover in my life. This needs to be fixed.
2025-08-21
Love this
Excited to see what other events this app has to offer!
2025-08-21
Doesn’t count +1s correctly
It is currently counting anyone who adds +1s as one single plus one. Meaning if a guest has +1 and another guest has +4, it is showing “4 people attending.” I had to tally everything by hand and my count is nearly double what it shows. Thank goodness I double counted before I based food and bev orders by Partiful’s count.
2025-08-19
Best events app everrr
Found this app really helpful to host casual gatherings with friends!! love all the themes and effects and how easy it makes my life!!
2025-08-19
heavyweight champ of invites
this app makes more sense than facebook groups, is the coolest and smoothest way to invite ppl to parties without being annoying
2025-08-19
Pretty great, but 2 big gripes
This app is great as a guest. Super easy to RSVP and get updates from the host. But as a host, I don’t like how comments that are left with an RSVP get cut off so that you can only see the first 2 lines and I don’t like that you can’t reply to them. This app would be 5 stars if those 2 issues were fixed!
2025-08-17
Love this app!
Love this app! Very user friendly. Makes it super easy to make an invitation and to see who is going. I would love if there was an option to write the guest’s names. I’m so glad that it is all free!
2025-08-15
Great app
Awesome app, we throw a bunch of parties and always use Partiful because it’s easy to use and effective!
2025-08-15
This app slaps
bruh best invite app since 1999

Unethical
Deleting and boycotting

❤️ to the folks at partiful
Thanks for creating this

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I CANT WAIT TO ABUSE THIS APP.
2025-08-11
Spammy
Im getting unsolicited text notifications even with notifications turned off in the app. This is offensive and spammy. Do better
2025-08-07
Easy as pie
Some random stranger over heard me talking about wanting to host a birthday party for myself. Lamenting over the stress of invites and details. They leaned over and said “PARTIFUL, dude. Makes it so easy. Everyone’s on there already.” At first I thought he was set-tripping and banging on me. I threw my set up, claimed my hood, my clique, and prepared for blows. Alas he was merely a Good Samaritan (non gang affiliated) and wasn’t Tryna press me. Turns out that gentleman was correct on all fronts. Excellent app for organising a shin dig.
2025-07-25
It’s so easy to use !
Just planned my birthday with Partiful and it was the easiest app to use- not that I’ve used anything else 🤣. It kept everything organized, put the address on the invitation for me, had designated spots to be able to explain myself thoroughly. I have to give it to myself. I probably sounded like the most well put together party planner of the year because I got so many compliments from my friends saying it wasn’t a bad attempt for my first time voluntarily celebrating anything.
2025-07-24
This is amazing
I’m always racking my brain to figure out what date is ideal for most people to attend a party, but this app makes it so easy to pick multiple dates and get a headcount of who would be able to make it. Even has a feature that lets you collect money if there’s admission! Thank you SO much for making this app and for making it free. I’ll be using this for possibly all my social plans from now on
2025-07-23
This app will transform your social life
Sometimes an app comes along that addresses a need you never gave much thought to, and once it becomes part of your everyday social life, you wonder why it wasn’t invented sooner. Partiful falls into that rare category for me.
Not only is it so easy to RSVP and manage your social calendar, the ease with which you can reach out via Partiful to new people you’ve met has transformed my ability to make and build friendships after an initial encounter at a party. No more exchanging info and ending up with a contact on your iPhone that lacks a last name, photo, and/or context!
It also helps solve that nagging question at a party: have we met before? The tracking feature on Partiful is awesome.
In a nutshell, what are you waiting for? Download Partiful now.
2025-07-22
SUPER great - one drawback
I absolutely adore the user interface and all of the other features that make this app. The ONLY thing I’m super sad about is that guests have to create an account to view specific event details.
This makes it very difficult to create large events where guests are asked to bring several +1s. People don’t want to take extra steps to do a very simple thing like viewing the location of an event. This causes hosts to end up with less guests and time wasted.
Sad to say I won’t be using this app.
2025-07-04
Love the app
Love the app, but a few improvements please: Allow a setting for all to see the entire invite list, not just those who are going. When importing contacts, the app pulls in the first number in the contact and not the mobile number (HUGE pain). You should be able to “clean up” people’s names so that they are easier to understand (they default to whatever they have in their Partiful profile - they may have Bubba or Smiths). You should be able to create an invite list and save it before sending. That way you and your cohost can review it. Right now you can only send the invite - which is difficult with long lists. Thank you!
2025-06-29
It takes a step past working
Partiful is mostly just great because it works and its one of the only platforms doing this that works. Many “companies” these days (mostly apps) become successful on this model. Luckily for Partiful it earns extra points by having some spirit and heart and not adding a bunch of awful stuff or trying to turn the app’s success into something bigger than it is (yet). Good for them. I like it.
2025-06-21
Great app, simplifies the party invite process
I’ve been using Partiful for almost two years now, and I find it very helpful in managing the invitation aspect of events. I like how you don’t have to have everyone’s phone numbers to invite people, and how you can add to your guest list based on shared events from the past. I also appreciate the ease of messaging guests with updates and important information.
2025-05-21
So fun
Love this app it’s so fun, sometimes I wish there were more poster options or like a create ur own but then at the same time it’s perfect the way it is because it’s not an over saturated app I also like that there is not AI create ur own stuff tho too tbh.
I’ve put all my friends on to using Partiful including my mom
Partiful is so cute and way easier than texting a whole bunch of individual people on evite through text.
2025-05-20
Best event planning app
I adore this app so much a close friend of mine introduced me to the platform and honestly I've been using it ever since now all of my other friends, use it for their events as well. It is super fun you get to create your party flyer and you can break down everything like if people could bring a +1 or if you need others to pitch in + fun gifs lol I love this app
2025-05-19
Invitation App with All Bells and Whistles
This app is incredible. You can add links for the location, specific items to buy, etc. It will collect money and information at the time of RSVP. It’s an incredible way to organize people. Seriously the best app I’ve seen! It’s very user friendly and simple to edit. It’s accessible, you can send via email or link. If I had a tiny suggestion it would be to allow the questionnaire to be visible to everyone attending.
2025-05-14
Great for the young and/ir tech savvy!
I have used this app for both hosting and attending over 20 events over the years! All my friends use it because I put them on to it haha. It’s a beautiful app and truly fun!
My only feedback is that I used it for my and my older relatives have been trouble using it, even though they all have iPhones. They’re not the best text savvy, about it, but maybe there’s a way to make it more easy to use or accessible for those who aren’t super comfortable with technology?
(Also I’m an aspiring UX Designer and my dream job is learning from these creators cause this app is gorgeous)
2025-04-29
Millenial approved!!!!
This has to be made by a millenial or the lower Gens! I am so stoked by it that it makes me want to plan parties left and right all day everyday! It is so easy to navigate the app and can add necessary information. No ads! No fake gimmicks! And absolutely free! It is truly the best and my favorite app from now on. I wish I can add a song and play when they open the link but I’m asking too much. It IS the perfect e-invite out there! And did I mention it is FUN?!! No more boring invites and screenshotted cards from apps wanting $$.
2025-04-23
Perfect for planning parties
I’ve been using this app for awhile now, planning our monthly parties. I used to use Facebook, but some people are on the platform, some people aren’t - it’s a pain. I real like that Partiful notifies everyone via their phone number - makes it platform agnostic. And with its ability to auto invite past guests, it makes the invite process super easy. It’s also a lot of fun with the ability to add gifs and links. Try it!!
2025-04-17
Good but not great
Overall, it gives me the ability to do what I want, to send out mass invites and allows people to have all the information in one place. I wish it would allow the host to select that people are coming. For instance, my grandparents will never download the app, and they’ll never make themselves as attending there are too many steps, but it would be fine, if I could mark them as attending. I wish there was a way to keep people who absolutely will not download another app in mind.
2025-04-12
BEST RSVP APP EVER!
I don’t ever write reviews but this app came through for me heavy! My graduation is coming up and I didn’t want to print multiple invites and spend so much money just for them to go in the trash. I also downloaded two other apps and after making dull invites they tried to overcharge me and only gave me the option of sending one free RSVP. This app not only let me make the cutest most original invite but also let me send as many completely free of charge! I STAN!! Finally able to get the correct headcount for my after party without paying an arm and leg. If you’re thinking about doing it? Download it!
2025-03-14
Go-To for all my events
I LOVEEEEE Partiful and can’t believe I’ve gone this long without it. I own a Pop Music Company in Nashville where we host multiple events every month and Partiful makes it so easy to upload the graphic, input all the details, and invite people all within the app! The invite pst guests feature is SUPER helpful. Such a cute design, the accountability of seeing who else is going, collecting emails, and all of this being FREE is a game changer!
2025-03-11
Perfection in an app
To the creators: Please don’t get gobbled up by the jaws of capitalism, this is the rare perfect app!
Partiful has made it so accessible to throw gatherings, parties, and events without having to create disjointed group chats and have the flexibility to invite a variety of people, including plus ones and completely new people! It’s truly the best and has brought people together in a way that would be a bigger lift without the utility of this app.
The only recommendation I would have is to add the option to schedule personalized texts to the groups.
But seriously, if you’re a patron get the app and if you’re on the team that created this, thank you doesn’t cut it. This is a rare social app that has actually made the world better.

My favorite startup
I work in VC and have had a list of my favorite startups for a few years now. Partiful is by far my favorite. I’m obsessed with their product (obv) & it’s for sure the best hosting / event invite app or website I’ve used. I recommend it to EVERYONE — all my friends use it for all our events from birthdays to game nights to GNOs etc. Their team is stacked and they have top tier investors on their cap table. I also love how they utilize their social media marketing & community especially through Twitter. Whoever runs their Twitter account is hilarious and that’s probably my dream job. I’ve DMed them a few times & they’ve even retweeted a tweet of mine. I will always support this company and when Apple came out with their party / event hosting feature a bunch of my friends sent it to me bc they know I love Partiful but I assured them Apple could never even come close to Partiful. Anyways shoutout to the Partiful team you guys rock and are prob my startup celeb crushes 🩷

Go to app for the hostess
This app has saved me so much on the logistics of party planning. I don’t even create invites anymore, I just search through the wide array of options they have and select and go ahead and enter all necessary details. I love that it doesn’t require you to have the app to join a party and that it sends timely reminders to your guests. The gifs are enjoyable to use in the comment section and it’s a great place to send post party pics. I imagine this would be a lifesaver for larger events where not necessarily everyone knows eachother. I can’t imagine planning a party without it anymore!
2025-02-15
Partiful is THE rsvp app
As a professional event manager and also professional partier, I have nothing but good things to say about Partifuls simplistic RSVP system. If you need a free RSVP, Partiful is where you should be. So far loving that the developers say they were funded to let us party for free, but honestly the system is so good and simple we’d be willing to pay to keep it around. We made it in the top 0.1% of all host in 2024 😂 would definitely be willing to pay for further development like ‘made to pay’ (right now you can take suggested amounts but a person can still RSVP by skipping over it) but maybe that’s not where Partiful is intended to be used. We’ll be here for our donation and free events as long as we can 🤘
2025-02-05
I’m a Partiful super user
This app slaps. It inspires me to have more fun parties and get-togethers with my friends. There’s honestly no good alternative for it; before this, I was making flyers and texting them to my friends in a variety of group chats which felt really disorganized. This has greatly simplified invite and RSVP tracking, sharing photos from events, connecting friends with each other (having a list of names to refer to from past events is so convenient), and is simply a really fun and playful way share and receive invites. I love that all my friends use it too so my parties/events are easy to scroll through and get excited about. I’ve also used it for my business to do more official events, and Partiful makes it easy to invite the same list of people for subsequent events. I honestly can’t believe this is free and not involved with Meta (ick) in any way. Yes yes yes, thank you Partiful!!!
2025-01-21
Great app — easy to use and fun!
I really enjoy this app! It really streamlines event planning, and I love the text message blast option, and most of all that it is FREE and not super spammy! I really hope they maintain this component throughout the lifespan of this app, it is super great. It’s fun to use and create events with, it makes it very easy to manage your event details and get last-minute info blasts out. I have nothing negative to say whatsoever.
2024-12-13
Like it so far
Have only just downloaded the app, but it’s really nice to have a dedicated platform to invite friends to events and to bee invited/see your upcoming events. You can get reminders/notifications too, which is helpful.
The interface is also very comforting in its simplicity. And it’s only my events and ones I’ve been invited to, so there’s no deluge of infinite options.
Overall I’m looking forward to being on the app instead of just text messages.

The BEST way to wrangle your friends
I rarely write reviews. This app is so great that I specifically came here to tell you about it.
To get people to engage with an RSVP system, you need to make them work as little as possible. The fact that your invitees don’t have to download the app or make an account makes this a system people will actually use.
When I plan events, I usually invite folks from different friend groups, and it’s time consuming to text event updates to each group individually. The text blast feature is AWESOME so I can tell everyone an update all at once.
Finally, the UI is amazing. It looks and feels great to use. Every feature I would want for planning a party, this app has.

Great App, But a 'Pay Later' Option Would Make It Even Better!
I just hosted my first event on Partiful after using it as a guest for about a year, and I love it! Partiful makes event planning so easy. But I wanted to share one suggestion that could make it even better, especially for events where people need to chip in.
For my party, we needed a minimum number of guests to rent a bar, and we asked people to help cover costs. The issue was that Partiful currently requires guests to pay as they RSVP, which can stop people from confirming right away—even if they want to go.
A ‘pay later’ option with automatic reminders (like two weeks before, one day before, etc.) would make RSVPing easier without needing an immediate payment. This way, hosts can see who’s interested without pressuring guests to pay right away. Thanks for all the work you’re doing—Partiful is a fantastic app!

I regret downloading the app
I like Partiful as an invitation platform, but I rely on unread text messages to organize my invites. When you download the app, party invitations you receive go to push notifications and you can’t control which ones you want to receive or how to want to receive them, you just get push for everything (looked everywhere in settings for any ways to customize, could not find). I deleted the app but my texts turned off and now I’m missing invitations and updates, making it unusable. Wish I hadn’t downloaded.

Use this app! It’s amazing for party planning!!
This is an amazing app for party planning. You get pretty much an accurate count of who’s coming and you can make it so customizable and so cool. My only thought is I wish that I could RSVP (as the host/organizer) for the folks that get the message from the app that may be older and not good on technology. If I know they’re coming from word of mouth, I could RSVP them myself and get the best headcount. Otherwise, this app is amazing. Please use it!! Thanks Partiful!

No Regard for Privacy
Love the app, have been using it for years. I’ve been trying to keep my calendars up to date recently so tried to add a Partiful event to my iPhone alendar for the first time. The app (understandably) asked me to allow it access to my Calendar. I don’t feel comfortable with anyone having “Full Access” to my personal calendar so I chose the “Add Events Only” permission. However, it seems Partiful wants all your personal data before they are willing to do something as simple as adding an event to your calendar. I’ve used many apps with Calendar integration but this is the first time I’ve been blocked from using a key app feature like this. Hope yall can get this fixed.

Poor Communications
If you’re a youth without a social calendar I think this is a great app - if you check it frequently it seems fairly functional and the imagery is fanciful. If you have a busy work and home life, it’s not great. Often when I receive an invitation I think it’s great, but I have to check calendars, see what my husband and I have that day, etc. And then respond. I usually probably know if I can make it but I rarely know with certainty the instant I receive an invitation - and that’s what this app wants from you. You get an iOS notification and asked you to decide instantly. There’s no email that you can forward to your spouse or keep in your inbox as a reminder, and you only get a text message if you haven’t installed the app. Once installed, they expect you to be diligently scanning your iOS notifications waiting for an invitation, and then responding instantly. If you have to follow up, then you are obligated to copy the invitation into your own task or email so that you can remember to follow up. It’s a rude experience for guests and a terrible way to plan an event - unless your events are for other children or you are just seeing who is available right now to go to dinner or something impromptu.

Why doesn’t partiful work with add-only access to my calendar?
Great app, love using to coordinate socials with friends. I’ve found that with the latest update, it requires “full access” to my Apple calendar, when it used to work just fine to add only a single event. I’d also generally love for it to work more seamlessly with adding a single event, instead of constantly prompting me to sync my calendar. Thanks so much!!

Perfect for Events!
I absolutely love this app! My friend introduced it to me last year and I was using Facebook for events and now I’m using this and this only. This has been so fantastic with organizing events sending messages out and responding to comments. This app is just awesome!
My one suggestion and I tried reaching out on Instagram and through the help center is to allow people to respond to comments when people RSVP as “Can’t Go”. I get a notification from people who say they can’t go and explain the reason why and I do not have the ability to respond to them. Would you be able to add that feature to respond to people who can’t go and who have left the comment saying they can’t go?

AMAZING.
Y'all this is truly the best. I have struggled with party (read: *any*) planning type things all my life, and changing platforms over the years (remember Facebook events??) has not helped. Partiful has been the easiest system I’ve ever used, with lots of support from small planning details to sexy invitation aesthetics to automatic reminders I don’t even have to worry about (plus extra ones, like 2hrs before the potluck when I realize I don’t have enough plates for everyone and invite folks to bring their own to limit disposable use 🤣). And it doesn’t even require everyone has the app, which is great for when I’ve had multigenerational events. I love the ways it builds collective energy before through the comment exchanges and seeing other friends’ rsvp’s, and how easy it is to thank everyone after and encourage uploading pictures in a single message. Just, so easy. I’ve gotten to see it grow over several years and it just keeps getting better. Thanks Partiful peoples.

Last time I use this clumsy app
Very unimpressed for something so many people are using. I just organized a party with it and found it very clumsy. Half the time I couldn’t respond to people’s comments without switching to iPhone messenger. And after I selected notifications, the app leaves badges active on the app itself as if I didn’t view the notifications. You have to go into the notification section in the app which is hard to find and then click on each one even though you’ve already seen them.
Also, some people let me know they couldn’t come not using the app (probably because it’s so awkward.) so then I go to mark them as not going, And the only option is to remove them completely from the invite list. A basic usage flow design is not that complicated guys.

Not totally user friendly if you use a large font
You might go crazy trying to change the time of your event if you use a large font on your phone. You have to go into settings, change the font size then back into the app to set the event time. Not sure why I couldn’t just scroll down. It would only let me change the time zone, not the actual start time.

The rare *perfect* app
So many apps try to do too many things and does any one of those things just okay. Partiful sets out to be one thing - the best way to coordinate a party or event. And it is that one thing perfectly. You can subscribe to your Partiful calendar to add everything automatically to your Google or iCal! Genius! Guests have easy and automatic access to all information. It’s simple, fun, easy to use…. Perfection. Almost every app could be better, but not Partiful. I have no wants or suggestions.

ITS TOO CUTE
I have an upcoming bday party and needed an app or website to make invitations for the people I wanted to invite. I like to be creative so I tried finding websites and apps that could help me out like picsart, canvas, and even evite but they all have premium stuff which is so irritating. I wasnt going to waste money on a membership that I was most likely only going to use once. So I went to Tiktok and found this absolute gem. Everything was so straightforward and easy to use. I love the formatting, aesthetics, and animations of the app. Its absolutely adorable and perfect for my needs. It helps me track who will be going all in one spot!
2024-04-13
Too good to be true
Enjoy these free premium features while they last! Waiting for the day they paywall text blasts, it’s an insanely good feature.
It’s a clean app that somehow manages to maintain a gen z color scheme and vibe without feeling like too much.
I use this both for hosting and attending events, all private. I don’t use the public feature.
Privacy shout out for not requiring users to upload their contacts to invite attendees - what a unicorn of an app in that regard. The app remembers attendees of past events you host that you can easily pull from to invite people but you can also manually enter email/phone or generate a share link.
Love that it’s totally disconnected from social media and there’s no “sign in with” option.

The most convenient way to organize an event with your friends
Before I knew about Partiful the only way I could organize an event en masse was through Facebook. Now you can send a link to your friends via text, no hassle about making an account. After I invite people, I notice that they start to use it to organize their events also. It’s just better than everything else out there.

Best App Ever
If partiful has one million users I am one. If partiful has one thousand users I am one. If partiful has one hundred users I am one. If partiful has no users then I am not around anymore.
I will forever sing this apps praises. When people ask me which 3 apps I would have on my phone, Partiful is my first answer. They know their users well. I’ve never experienced bugginess or lags while in the app. It leaves little to be desired, yet every addition impresses me. Impeccable 👩🍳🤌💋 I’ve planned more parties than ever thanks to this wonderous tool.

Mostly great; hate the cap system
Love the alternative to Facebook. Love the google calendar integration.
Hate that people are capping the attendees of their events and it creates this panic of “oh gosh, guess I need to get a spot!” That was never a thing with Facebook and I think we are all better off without it. If there’s a real space capacity, folks generally have ticketing systems, anyway, and it’s awkward when the ticketing system (eventbrite, etc.) doesn’t corrrelate with Partiful. E.g., Partiful says there are no spots left, but many of those people that clicked going haven’t bought tickets, etc.

Your app crashes when non-English keyboard simply exists.
Your app does not respond at all when my non-English keyboard (default & top of the list of keyboards used on my phone) shows up. Specifically after I sign up and try to type my name. That means it cannot even let me switch my keyboard to English. I had to go to settings and remove my Korean keyboard. Only then I could type in my name. I’m not asking you to let us type in anything non-english. But it is pretty stupid that non-english users basically get kicks out at the door, only after we sign in and get your downloads and user numbers up.

Great concept! Just need a few fixes
Okay so I was looking for something to replace paper mates and to avoid my personal invites or messages come off scamish to other people.. this ones is so great and so up to date with the times/trends. However I find messaging on the app (text blast) alittle clumsy and I tried a testing invite with my husband for this exact purpose and yes the texting wasn’t hitting the mark. We couldnt find ways to directly message one another. The only easy way was the comment section of the invite and still wasn’t notified when each others messaged on the comment board even.
Another thing DEFINTELY worth mentioning is that this app crashes my phone after using the app for longer than a few minutes. Sooooo I’m not sure if I should continue using this app because of the crash and my phone constantly restarting.
Outside of these two flaws this app would be TOP NOTCH for my family!

A LIFESAVER FOR HOSTS.
I use this app wondering when the “must pay for this feature” will pop up. This app has everything you can think of from RSVP, to text blasts, to surveys, to group gifting options, to comments, to options to export RSVPS. It’s literally amazing and it has helped me to keep everything organized for planning events. I plan events often for my job and this has been such a dream come true. I love this app and will continue using it. It’s been so good I had to come write a review(this is something I never do)!!

The best party planning app
Ever since the demise of Facebook and Facebook events, there’s been a big gap left for planning, larger events between wide range of people. This app/website is the perfect solution to clearly communicate everything you need to in a secure and organized manner for large events or small gatherings. I cannot recommend us enough, and I absolutely love the graphics and animations that they have built in that allow you to customize the look of your event for a little extra fun.

So far so great
I’ve used Partiful for three events so far and I really like it. It’s so convenient communicating with my guest all at once vs trying to message each individual person with any updates. There are a lot of options in the galleria for the event cover which is fun. It’s user friendly for my guests as well. They don’t have to download the app to RSVP. The one thing I wish is that there was a feature to manually add names to the guest list.

A frequent host’s dream app!
How is an app this good free?! I never write reviews but I host a ton of get togethers with friends who have chaotic schedules—this app has been a lifesaver for coordinating RSVPS AND getting your guests excited about your event! I have gotten so many compliments from friends who I’ve invited to stuff using this app, they love the aesthetic design and how easy it was to use. As a host, I love that I can see everyone’s responses and send out text alerts too. I LOVE this app. The only feature I would ask the devs to add is a way for hosts to reach out to the invite list and find out which date/time works best to have an event. I found a workaround by adding a questionnaire and adding a question for each date and asking my guests if they could make that date, and then I will edit the invite with the final date and time once I see what works best for everyone. I would pay for this pre-event availability add on! Overall, a fantastic app!

Easiest and cutest way to plan anything!!!
Partiful is literally the easiest way to plan a party (And the only way I ever will now). They only need your phone number to plan or RSVP, so you don’t have to remember/forget and reset another password (which I hate lol)
Tbh I am not even a party person but when I used this for my bday dinner, I was instantly converted forever. So many options of cute designs for the invite and you can send updates via text to all guests if anything changes!!! I think there are a lot of cool features, most of which I haven’t even tried yet. It’s the best and I’m always happy to get a Partiful invite because they make it so easy!
