I really like idea behind this app, and I think it’s great how the developer has opted for a more generic looking interface as it makes navigation and general functionality very easily accessible.

There does, however, appear to be a few issues with intermittent crashing and some users’ records not being saved consistently, so make sure you look at the Pros & Cons section of this review below before downloading iParty.

Party Planning Made Easy

What we’ve got here is a very useful utility that you can use to organize and manage multiple parties with ease, with the ability to save individual entries for each of your guests and even guests directly from your native iOS Contacts list.

This app also allows you to add your own custom notes so that no niggling little details are missed out, so I can easily see how iParty could make party planning a far less stressful and time-consuming endeavor.

Cons                                  

• Although this app has generally been quite well received by users, there have been a few valid points raised by users regarding intermittent crashing and the overall temperamental nature of the functionality: “I like this app but there are a couple things I wish would change. First, the shopping and budget features can't sync up. I have to enter everything in twice. Residency is a hassle. Second, the guest list doesn't always input the information from my contacts. This would bother me more if I used the email feature, but I may bother someone else. Third, the app tends to crash when deleting something from the shopping list. If those are fix, I can see this being a much better party planning app.
  Maybe add in a menu feature for planning out a menu. Thanks.”
• “Loved this app on my iPhone; downloaded it to my iPad and is less than optimal. For instance I keep entering my theme and location and it never saves. I'd say yes for iPhone, but no for iPad unless changes are made. Disappointed :(“
• “This app is helpful & easy to use but every other thing I enter, the app shuts down. I have to keep going back into it, it gets frustrating so I give up.”

 

Final Words

iParty for iPhone and iPad definitely isn’t without its flaws but I would certainly recommend at least considering it before your next party.
