Apple Invites Negative Reviews

Half-baked (4/26)Looks great but did anyone on the team actually use this for a kid's birthday? It is super clunky for this. 1) forces you to choose between a public invite link vs a private one. app should just manage this and all messaging. which one you choose affects how it tracks guests. 2) puts the person's display name from your contacts app on the invitee list with no option for the you the host to edit the name (i keep names in lower case, but wouldn't want an invite list seen by others to be all lower case). 3) adds an invitee to the list only when they successfully open the link. if they cannot, the app doesn't show them. if they then tell you directly they will or won't come there's no way to manually add them to list of invitees so you and other hosts can't see who has been invited and not yet responded or RSVPed directly messages or email. 4) forces you to select a drop down numerical limit from 0 to 9 on the number of guests each invitee can bring. for a kids birthday party where parents and siblings are welcome just let me say "more than 1 is ok" I'm ordering pizza, not hiring a caterer who needs a hard number. 5) you can set a start time but not an end time for the event. because sure, that makes sense. And on and on like this. It's frustrating and I look incompetent as a parent asking others to go through an awkward or difficult user experience just to say "yes we're coming" or "no we are not.".ZippyiosVersion: 1.7.0

Great Concept, Poor Execution — Needs Serious PolishAs someone who has built websites and has experience in both Web UX and UI design, I was excited to see what this app could offer in terms of coordination and usability. Unfortunately, the experience fell flat due to a number of design oversights and poor workflow decisions. The concept is fantastic — one centralized place to coordinate who’s coming, where it’s happening, and invite friends. But the actual execution is incredibly frustrating and riddled with missing ease-of-use features that should be standard: • You can’t assign someone else as the host from your contacts while creating the invite. Why not? • The app is completely locked into the Apple ecosystem. Friends without Apple Music can’t collaborate or even use the playlist functionality. • When adding a playlist to an invite, it doesn’t auto-add guests as collaborators — you have to invite them separately, which is clunky and confusing. • There’s no shared notes section or comment thread. This would be especially useful in something like a potluck, where people could drop in what they’re bringing. • Overall workflow is buggy and unintuitive — simple actions like adding photos or creating a new Apple Music playlist result in janky app behavior, frequent screen switching, and an overload of pop-ups and confirmation menus. I rarely leave reviews, but this app was shockingly disappointing in its user experience. It feels more like a beta than a polished, Apple-level product. If you’re going to force people into a walled garden, at least make the garden work..Banks.NVersion: 1.3.2

Great idea, terrible executionApple Invites has a polished presentation layer, but the RSVP experience quickly becomes frustrating once you move outside a fully Apple-centric ecosystem. For something as simple and universal as an invitation, the barrier to response feels unnecessarily high. Requiring iCloud accounts, login verification, or additional authentication steps for non-Apple users creates friction that many invitees — especially older adults or less tech-oriented users — simply will not navigate. This becomes especially apparent with events like children’s birthday parties, family gatherings, or community events where the goal should be simplicity and accessibility. A grandmother with a smartphone should be able to type her name, press “Yes” or “No,” and be done. Instead, the process can feel engineered around platform management rather than human interaction. The system seems optimized for the host experience and Apple ecosystem continuity more than the actual experience of the invited guest. That imbalance matters. Invitations are relational tools. Every unnecessary technical step increases the likelihood that someone disengages before responding at all. What’s missing most is a low-barrier RSVP option: * simple name entry * one-tap response * optional phone-number-based confirmation * no mandatory account creation Not everyone who owns a smartphone is digitally fluent, and good invitation design should account for that reality. The visual design is strong, but the usability philosophy feels overly restrictive for what should be one of the simplest forms of digital communication.MrMurrayIVVersion: 1.8.0

Bad user testingI created an event for family. They all have iPhones. I invited everyone via iMessage phone numbers. They clicked on the link to rsvp which happened via iCloud web interface. They were added to event via appleid email. I did not realize that messages I was sending about the event were going out as links to web based app. None of them had installed the app on their phone. IF they happened to read the email MAYBE they went to the web app version. Being young most rarely check their email. So without a text message coming in they were oblivious to event updates. Others got freaked out by the user agreements. Why people with an appleid are getting presented with user agreements for something they have already agreed to when they created their appleid binges my mind. All we needed was a slick group chat interface but instead Apple gave us a clunky app that DOESN’T “Just Work”.SparcjockeyVersion: 1.1.1

Lots of bugs to fix- not user friendlyThe app is very pretty, but if you have used other invite sites, it has some bugs that need to be fixed! 1. You can’t add guests who aren’t tech savvy or just tell you they are coming, they HAVE to use the app to RSVP. 2. You can’t change a guest count if they changed their mind about how many are coming. 3, I have apple users who said that they have RSVP”d, but their name is still in the not answered part- so now doing double the work to make sure people are using the app 4You basically can’t manage anything, it’s all up to the person, and I had to call people anyway and remind them to RSVP, - you only get to make the invite, and wait for people to respond, and send a note. Go with evite, at least you get to update and really manage a guest list. Now I’m stuck sending the link twice or just calling and highlighting a written list.Nurse822Version: 1.6.2

Too BasicApple Invites is a great idea, but it feels too basic right now. The design is clean and easy to use, but the features are limited in ways that matter when you are actually planning an event. There should be more tools that help with what happens at the event itself. For example, there is no way to create a potluck sign up. There is no option for guests to list what they are bringing, see what others have signed up for, or note what still needs to be covered. These are very common needs for family gatherings, holidays, parties, and community events. Apple Invites has a lot of potential, but it needs more practical features that support real event planning. If Apple adds options like item lists, sign ups, assignments, and other event logistics, this could become a much more useful and complete tool..Jonathan C. MullinsVersion: 1.6

Two requests!Used it for my mom’s birthday party and it was great!! Two things: I would love it if guests didn’t have to put their email because some people are weirded out by that or don’t remember their iCloud password. Maybe if it had a “public” option where anyone with the link could see everything and just had to put their name to RSVP then it would be easier. Second, I would love it if you as the host could change people’s rsvp and the number of people they bring because sometimes people let you know by text but don’t change their RSVP on the event so your counts are off. On Facebook Events, you can change their RSVP response and it’s super helpful. That’s all! Great app otherwise and once those things are added it’s 5 stars all the way! Thank you Apple!.Csk378Version: 1.7.0

Missing a bunch of important featuresI was really excited to use this app but now that I have, i realize it’s missing a whole bunch of really important features. There is no option for me to RSVP on behalf of someone. It’s pretty annoying that I can’t select people from my contact list to send to but have to send a link one by one to each of them. I am unable to edit the guest count on behalf of someone. When someone RSVPs, it doesn’t allow them to write their name or their guests names (only shows their email address or phone number) which is challenging. There is no way to make the main picture or the invitation exciting - I wanted to add colors and stickers and other items. Ultimately I don’t think this app was very thought out and I am disappointed.HopefullreviewerVersion: 1.0.2

Really fun, neat idea…poor executionThis seems like another Apple supertool of convenience and innovation, but I run into nothing but issues when I attempt to use it. Invitees never seem to be able to figure out how to view the invitation or how to RSVP (could be user error but when it happens with 90% of the people you send invites to, it starts to indicate maybe not user friendly), there isn’t a way to invite or add a co-host, there’s no way to select “unlimited guests” or remove a “guest allowance” selection... there are quite a few things that seem to both over-complicate and under-perform. I hope they can address these things because the idea and app are promising overall, but if your invitees can’t use it or even see your invite, it has no purpose..FrankieMayeVersion: 1.6.1

Great Concept, forced to payAnother great idea ruined by greed … why not have some premium features on a subscription basis it’s not like I can’t just text people individually anyways ….T97KeeperVersion: 1.0

Poorly thought out, and feature-lessUnless your invitees have the app, this is a bad experience. 1. You can’t see the invite without signing up/in to iCloud. There’s no reason for this. 2. Even if you have an iPhone you need to install the app (which must be the size of an app clip given how few features it has). 3. On the web-mobile site, the description doesn’t appear to be expandable. Change it to be a “See More” button. 4. People can’t RSVP for other people. Recommendations 1. Make this a damn app clip. It only needs to be a full fledged app for the person creating the invite. I’m sure you can whip it up in a day or 2. 2. Figure out how to allow people to RSVP & see the invite without signing in! This is a terrible product decision that every single RSVP software has had since the internet started. Don’t walk down the same road “Sports” did and implement a featureless version of apps that already exist. 3. Get your web devs to make the damn description box look expandable. 4. Add the ability to RSVP for others. I wanted this to be good so badly. I won’t say there is a massive gap in inviting software for you to fill, but I’m sure that if you do the things I mentioned this will sell iCloud+ subscriptions like they’re going out of style. Forget about your product plan if it isn’t these 4 things. Adding more widgets won’t move the needle. Making it easier to use for invitees will..Quinton.quinVersion: 1.1

Requires iCloud+Requires iCloud+ to create an event. Not even free for users of their own devices. Only Apple can do 🤡.StephenBelliniVersion: 1.0.1

The design is laughableDid you hire a design intern to make it in their spare time?.SpaceInvader3000Version: 1.0.2

PaywallThere is no incentive for people who already use free invite apps to download this. You can’t send invites without iCloud+, only receive them and rsvp. Lots of potential but no intention on getting iCloud+, I’ll stick to free apps for now..Grrr I'm mad x(Version: 1.0.1

Partiful if it wasn’t goodThis is garbage lol.SearchpartiesVersion: 1.0.1

Are we joking or what?I downloaded the app initially because it’s from Apple—I thought it might be reliable. Secondly, I liked the idea behind it. But honestly, I really regret it. First, they ask for a one-time payment just to send an invitation. Okay, fine. But it gets worse. When I sent the invites, the recipients were required to sign up for iCloud. They force everyone to do this. Wait, it gets even worse—people who don’t have an iPhone can’t receive or view the invite. Seriously, guys??? Are you joking??.SheyloquitaVersion: 1.1

You can’t co hostIt’s a fine app, but it doesn’t allow you to have two hosts. So stupid.JamobestVersion: 1.8.0

Not fully thought outWorkflow is ok for the most basic but trying to figure out anything outside the one path of one person that’s a full Apple ecosystem user it lacks any intuition and helpful direction. Poorly put together and leads to a lot of guest frustration. Avoid..DubdaVersion: 1.8.0

Doesn’t work as intendedI had high hopes for this app since it’s an Apple app. But it’s clunky. The sign-in with iCloud is horrible. Messages sent to attendees don’t always reach their recipients. Overall the UX design isn’t great. It has potential. But won’t be using it anytime soon unfortunately..ZdravkogVersion: 1.8.0

FrustratingThis app is difficult to use and I have told people to stay far away from it. As an iCloud+ user, I figured that I would use Apple Invites to manage attendees for an upcoming birthday party. I like the concept of sharing a custom invitation link to people we want to invite. From the event host’s POV, the app does NOT show the names/contact details of who was sent an invite (meaning I couldn’t see if I had entered contact details incorrectly.) I have no idea if certain invitations bounced back. It also does NOT whether an invitee has opened the link. The app supports notifications that show up as a banner and on the lock screen. However, the actual notifications were vague, which is unhelpful when viewed in isolation from the app. Also, there is no running list to view the latest activity from invitees/attendees/co-hosts. So I would see a notification that someone responded to the event, without knowing what happened (did they change their status from coming to not coming? Who knows!) From the invitee’s POV, the app is particularly frustrating. One person told me that they had RSVP’d multiple times before it actually registered on my end. Multiple people were annoyed that Apple Invites was asking them to jump through several hoops just to view the event details (verification and subscription), so they abandoned using the app and just texted me their response. All in all, I do not recommend!.Neer1877Version: 1.7.0

Nice info with barrierI like what I can include in the invites, such as maps integration and tiles for info and updates, but the barriers to viewing the invitation (requiring an Apple ID or email with verification code) are so limiting. I would much rather be able to send out an invite and let people, at the very least, view the invite before going through an email verification process..SlimyroastVersion: 1.6.2

Time consuming and cumbersomeThis app is an awful experience. When I invite individual guests, which you do in every other invite app that’s ever existed, I have to send the link each and every time to each individual. The app won’t send all the invites for me in one single action. So it’s very tiresome and cumbersome. We should be able to add all the guests and just click Send once. The Choose a Guest interface is awful and confusing. And the output in an email invitation is inconsistent: If you “Invite Individuals”, the email that the invitee receives just displays a link and you have to type a message to them. But if you choose “Copy Link” and paste that into an email window, the email displays the picture you added and you don’t have to also write text to say what the unique link is about. This means that you’re screwed either way, no matter which method you choose. Either you invite individual guests and have to add a description, or you have to use a generic link and anyone in the world could add themselves if they got a hold of it. And you have to paste it into email messages. You also can’t change a guest’s RSVP or change their number of guests. And you can’t fill in the RSVP for a guest. Which makes it difficult to keep an accurate count. I can’t believe this was created by Apple..SpockVersion: 1.6.1

Needs iMessage chatTbh feels like an app apple will leave stagnant. Tried for Christmas, it’s confusing on what purpose it serves as only inviting is pointless, I found it only really made sense for shared albums as Apple photos requires you to add individually vs sharing a link with this (usually the family uses Google Photos or Dropbox even though all but but a few of 25+ are iPhone users because none of the older gen wants to create a photo album and readd everyone in the iMessage chat) Not hard to see the potential, would be a no brainer if it had proper integration with Apple iMessage, photos, and reminders (for actually planning the event / delegating who is being what).Pointdexter394Version: 1.6.1

No rsvp without loginNot everyone has iPhone. Guest cant rsvp without login in or they need to create an account. Which is absurd..McbcgmVersion: 1.6

Can only invite people wirh Apple accountThe app is OK and can fit a need, I see it as a small perk for iCloud+ subscribers. Too bad you can only invite people who have an Apple account. This makes the app completely useless for everyone, because if you can’t invite just anyone with the app, it defeats the purpose. Apple needs to open it up on the receiving end..Mr. WilliamusVersion: 1.6

Frustrating on so many levels!Clearly not developed for iPad. Annoying having to sign in everywhere. Invites to me didn’t show up in the app until someone sent me a direct link in iMessage. Definitely not ready for prime time. Good about finding a better option than having to use friggin’ FB for everything..ShrinkkevVersion: 1.3.2

Requires guests to log in to iCloudA public link should be a public link, not gated behind a login. Why would I want my guests to go through 2FA to see the details of my event? Login should be for RSVPing, not viewing. This one design decision renders Apple Invites useless..HenderburnVersion: 1.3.2
