SynkMonkey app review: plan your social events
Introduction
Planning an event requires work, organization, and usually some creativity. Whether your event is big or small there are always details to think of which can lead to you feeling overwhelmed. The SynkMonkey app is meant to be an event planner and social calendar invite tool so that you can plan your events with ease and flair. You’ll leave all your guests in awe with just how well-thought-out your event is.

This app is actually a multi-purpose one in that it combines a number of features into one slick user-friendly package. It combines group messaging, maps, and calendars so everything can be done in one spot. The developer explains it as feeling like a text message that you're sending except it has all the event details included. Don't worry: you can send details to people who don't have SynkMonkey; they just need to have a mobile phone.

It's important not to just think of this app for planning social events with friends and family, as it also works well in a business setting when used with co-workers.
Not So Simple
While this app is loaded with cool features and uses unfortunately there seem to be some issues with it working properly. When you launch the app you need to enter your own phone number before you begin. Each time I have done this it tells me my phone number is invalid. Because I can't get past this step, I can't get into the app.

The app seems to crash, not work, and just be generally slow and difficult to use. With so many negative comments it looks like my issue isn't a fluke one after all.
It's really unfortunate I have had such bad luck with this app because its intended purpose is really good and I can see this being very useful if you can actually get it to work.

Final Thoughts
The My Deals Mobile app is meant to make planning events simple, quick, and user-friendly. Unfortunately it fails on each of these accounts and leaves users disappointed and looking for another app that actually gets the job done.
