Apple Invites 12+

This app couldn’t have been released at a more perfect time- my baby is turning one this month! So as I was already reaching out to loved ones, I was able to create an invite link that is also easy for people off iPhone to RSVP to! I love the ability to create an iCloud photo album for guests to upload their photos to. However, their invite management is lacking. If I had not created a checklist in notes, I would have to scroll through my messages to see who all I invited. I can’t view it in the app. The only thing I can see are responses. I also can’t manually add RSVPs, so people that had responded prior to me making my invite link have to refill out their rsvp so that I can keep track of attendee numbers. People can also only RSVP for up to 5 people, which happens to work out this time, but I do have friends with more than 3 kids so if they RSVP for their whole family, I wouldn’t be able to count all of them in the app.

I will continue to utilize this app for future event planning, but I do hope to see these updates.

I’m very excited to see this app because I have the same idea back to 2016 and I did work on building an app like this for some time, but gave up at the end due to personal reasons. To me, Invites will be the next big social network that is as popular as Facebook and Snapchat, hope they won’t copy it :) People can contribute every detail of their participating the events. The communication, photos and videos will form unforgettable memories in their life. If the app can introduce “public events” that everyone else around the world can randomly watch, then it will be another Tiktok and even BETTER! Payment can also be an interesting part of Invites. Imagine people want to split their bills at the end of the events, they just need to enter their own expense amount and the system can then help calculate who will pay to whom, doesn’t that sound cool and convenient?! The payment system can also allow Invites to integrate with other online services like Uber and Invites can even smartly plan and prepare everyone’s trip during the event! I can’t imagine how far this app can reach to people’s everyday life. Really excited to see my idea come true though it is actually realized by others, but I’m still glad because it proves that I didn’t do the wrong work. Hope Invites becomes one of the most popular social networkin the future, can’t wait to see!

This app seems super cool. I am hoping future updates allow for more flexibility.

I think it would be cool to be able to have multiple events included in one invite. For example, I play on a bunch of rec sports teams and it would be cool if you could “invite” people to be on your team. Then also input all of your games, with each person being able to say input which games they can and can’t make. Currently we just typically text each week to see who is in and out. Another example would be when I host people at my family cabin on the weekends and then we do an additional activity like golfing. It would be nice to have specific events organized that are additional to the original invite.

I also feel like it would be cool to be able to have flexible dates or even polling options. I know I often have a group of people I want to invite to something but finding a date is hard. I could see this app being helpful to invite people to a group and then finding a specific date that works for everyone.
