Event Planner: Birthday, Party
Can I track a budget and guest list at the same time in Event Planner: Birthday, Party?
Yes, you can set a total budget, break it into categories like food and drinks, and watch a visual bar decrease as you add costs. The guest list lets you manually add people and mark their RSVP status, making it easy to see confirmed headcounts at a glance.
Does the app include pre-made checklists to help me remember important tasks?
Yes, it offers pre-made checklists for different event types, such as a 'Family Dinner' list. This can remind you of things you might forget, like confirming a restaurant reservation the morning of the event.
Why do I sometimes get a full-screen video ad when switching between screens?
The app uses both banner ads and occasional full-screen video ads that pop up when you navigate between features, like moving from the budget screen to the checklist. This can be disruptive, and there is no paid ad-free version mentioned in the review.
The vendor search only shows big chain stores in my area. Is there a way to find local vendors?
The vendor search appears to prioritize large national chains, so if you're in a small town, you may not see local options. For now, you'd need to find local vendors outside the app and add them manually to your guest or vendor list.
How does Event Planner: Birthday, Party compare to using a notes app and calculator for planning?
Unlike a scattered collection of notes and screenshots, this app gives you a single source of truth for your guest list, budget, and checklist all in one place. However, the frequent full-screen ads can be more annoying than the simplicity of a notes app, so it depends on whether you value organization over a distraction-free experience.
