I was sooo excited to try this out - I wanted to create some cute invites for my daughter and son’s birthdays. But it completely backfired and I feel victim to false advertising. I mean, the picture in their store listing shows a cute card in a text message, right?! But no - not even close. It looks like a crazy spammy link, no picture or card, and none of our friends even wanted to touch it because it looked so shady. I kept having to bug everyone to see if they got it and they all wanted me to change to something else because they thought it looked so sketchy and lame. My daughter was super sad because I showed her the ad and told her that was how it would look but it looked nothing like that. Even more than that, the whole point in me trying to use a text and email app was to be able to send guests other updates and reminders in the same place I sent the original invite - makes sense, right? But the app doesn’t even work like that. It just sends a shady looking spammy link to people from a weird phone number, you can’t see the invite at all, can’t rsvp unless you make them use the app, and you can’t communicate with them by text. So I may as well have just made a cute picture on WordSwag or something and sent it by text to my friends! So irritated, I’m a busy mom with 3 kids and a job and I don’t have time for this mess.

I downloaded the app and created a membership after looking online for a site to send ecards. I followed the steps and selected my recipient after customizing. When I hit send I got a pop up that just said “ok”. No other message. I clicked it and my ecard went nowhere. I double and triple checked to make sure I had my recipient’s info and all was in line. Still again, ok. Nothing to indicate what was going wrong. I saw an option to save my ecard as a draft so I did that so I could come back to it after attempting to troubleshoot and find info on what could be happening. I found nothing helpful and to make it even worse, couldn’t even locate the draft so my only option it to recreate the card again... Ugh! I wanted a quick and simple option to send a card today and wasted more time dealing with this. I opted out of them selling my info and will be deleting the app. I will have to just send a birthday text now because I don’t have time for this. Complete waste! The app needs work!

I NEVER write reviews, but I feel like this one deserves one. I am very disappointed with the service. I got this app to make my sons first birthday invitations. Everything was great, people were rsvp and everything and I loved how easy it is to send. When I initially got the app it says it’s a 7 day free trial but after 7 days do you want to buy the annual pass for 80 or so dollars or just pay 6.99 a month and cancel. So picked the 6.99 a month because I wasn’t going to use it all year just for his birthday. Last night I got a bank notification that I was negative on my account. I got charged for the whole year and I got charged a fee for being negative. When I emailed the company they said they could not refund the money because it was bought off from iTunes when the help center specifically says 30 MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. They will NOT return the money.
