Apple Invites 12+

On paper this could be a great alternative to Facebook invites. A lot of my friends and family no longer use Facebook and would like a clean interface for event planning. The problem (and I know this app just released) is that it doesn’t sing well for non-Apple users. It supposedly allows these folks to see the invite, mark off whether they’re going or not, see location info, and, if they create an iCloud account, post photos. But my testing on Chrome just shows a blank loading screen. I hope Apple fixes this soon!

Apple Invites has completely transformed the way I plan and organize events. Whether it’s a small gathering, a birthday party, or a big corporate event, this app makes the invitation process seamless and stress-free. The interface is beautifully designed, intuitive, and incredibly user-friendly.

One of my favorite features is how effortlessly it integrates with my contacts and calendar, making it easy to send invites and track RSVPs in real time. The customization options are fantastic, allowing me to create invitations that match the theme of my event perfectly. I also love how guests can respond quickly, and I get instant updates on who’s attending.

The app runs smoothly with no glitches, and the notifications ensure I never miss an important update. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making this app both functional and elegant. If you’re looking for the perfect way to manage invitations and RSVPs, look no further—Apple Invites is the best out there! Highly recommended!

Literally yesterday I was using Google Calendar and was frustrated at the lack of functionality for organizers to manage RSVPs. When I saw this announced, I was excited. Less than halfway through my first use, I wished I was back on Google - and that was before I found out that Apple’s solution has the same limitation I dealt with yesterday on Google.

This app works ok for a very small group. Once more than 5 people are invited, the app gets buggy and crashes. (iPhone 14 Pro Running iOS 18.3)

1) In order to add more personal invitations, I have to close the app, wait, reopen app, reopen invitation, tap add guests, pick guest, send invite, and the app crashes as soon as it’s sent.

2) Contacts are arranged alphabetically by first name, not by system default.

3) No method to pick a bunch of people on a list and send personal invites at once. The process to do so is tedious.

The app is pretty, but it’s not functional enough to be out of alpha, much less beta. 2 stars. Just use a calendar invite or a third party that actually works.
