Wedding Planner by WeddingWire app good for
Some of the content isnt as user friendly or easy to navigate, BUT, without this app, I would be screwed. Totally love the guest list feature and checklist.
This app helps me stay on track and is very helpful for searching vendors in the area. However, not all vendors get back with you when you contact them through the app. Some do and offer discounts for using the app also.
The app itself is great, it functions well and does what its supposed to do. Hereford, 5 stars, because OF COURSE you wouldnt rate an app by a websites FORUM members, right? Right.
That said, Ive been a community member for some time. If you cant handle blunt, not rude advice (lets be honest, telling someone their idea violates etiquette and why isnt rude, and its nicer than their guests whispering behind their back for the next 20 years), then this is probably not the place. Like ANY forum, you should most definitely read the stickies completely and lurk for a while prior to posting.
The ladies there are extremely supportive, but they are NOT yes men. If you have plans for a cash bar, a Honeyfund, a dry wedding, or plan to self-cater, they WILL tell you why these are poor choices, to help prevent brides from making mistakes that will only cause them embarrassment and humiliation down the road.
Like any community, there are different personalities, and some are more blunt than others. As long as you can accept youre going to get brutally honest advice as well as that people are not going to adjust their way of speaking to suit you, then you should have zero problems. Basically, if you can behave like a decent human being who doesnt have an air of entitlement about them, you should be fine.
I love how easy it is to use and all the features it has. I especially like the fact that majority of the venues you look up it gives you an idea of what the pricing is.
I love this app, it makes me feel like I could plan my entire wedding. I really love all the vendors and reviews you have at your convenience. Im really glad someone thought to make this app, its so helpful.
It is a very nice app, very user friendly, and also very helpful as well. Id add more details as far as checklist and guests goes. It is very robotic, you either did one of the things from the checklist or you just did not. Also, I think it needs to let you customize it your own way (color & pictures). Weddings happen once in your lifetime (hopefully) and since technology is so advanced you can keep track pf your wedding plans thru your phone, at least you should be able to feel some type of way with the app. Id be great to also be able to add photos.. For example ideas for deco, dresses, etc (if they already have it... My bad, didnt get to check all the buttons on the app LOL). So this is why I rated it 4 stars
Some bad moments
I feel like the app could use a lot more things when ur in the app you cant navigate to a wedding website nor can you look up other things the app has or advertise whats the point of having the app
Everything else is amazing. They have an amazing checklist and have info on the best vendors in your area. However the forms are horrible... Woman are just ripping each other apart, not building each other up like we should be wile planing a wedding.
Just did the iOS upgrade and I am trying to log in because the upgrade signed me out of my account. I cant remember my password so I tried to reset and cant. The app is frozen. Very disappointed considering I have venues and notes saved on the app that I cant retrieve.
Should be able to manage wedding website from the App like TheKnot
The only thing good about the app is the vendors list- I found most of mine through this app.
The downside is that if you go on the forums and tell them you are going against the "perfect wedding" idea that they all have in their heads, youll be berated for it. The women on their are hostile and mean and not encouraging half the time. If you have a question, best not to ask it there because youll just realize how rude everyone is and theyll try to make you change your idea of your perfect day. Moderators or admin whoever run this page need to do something about it as its not just a differing opinion, its being hateful.
Worst wedding site I have used by far. The women on this site are so vulgar and rude its not worth the time or effort. If your having a perfect by the book wedding than this site will suit you well. If your a DIYier or "self-catered" kind of bride, save the energy and dont even bother ( wedding bee is by far more accommodating )
