Paperless Post: Invitations Hack 7.55 + Redeem Codes

I never leave reviews but boy is this a app amazing. The flyers and greeting cards are well designed, even the free ones! That’s the one I used for my baby shower event. EVERYONE kept complimenting my invites and asking me what app I used so they can use for their special occasion. You can see whose open the invite, who can’t go, whose going and guest can respond to your invite. I have so many thoughtful messages. I can add the link to my registry as well. One feature I discovered is “broad casting.” I can send out reminders to RSVP to people who have yet to respond. The first 50 invites you send is free after that they charge “coins” which for me came out to about $10. Each invite was about 40 cents! They also start you with coins to use so you might not even have to spend $. I only sent out to the main person in the house hold. Please look no further you will not be disappointed. I will be using this app for every occasion moving forward. No more hard copies for me. Everyone just throws them out anyway lol

App is NOT built to support creating invitations on phone or tablet. I used both and IT TOOK HOURS TO FINALLY SEND ONE INVITE. I’ve used Paperless post a few times before and was just reminded how much the apps are so frustrating to edit, grab correct text to edit, shrinking screen doesn’t work well, the keyboard function while typing text covers the invitation so you can’t see what you’re typing. THE ONLY REASON I CONTINUED WAS BECAUSE I HAD COINS ALREADY PURCHASED, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE JUST QUIT AND USED ANOTHER APP. Option for location to be virtual was not available on mobile app vs on IPad app?? So I just customized my location. Why can’t I customize the email message that goes out? And when I was ready to send invite from my mobile phone it asked me to verify my account 5 times! I received a verification email, clicked verification link, it took me back to the app, I tried to click send, then said I needed to verify my email again. I did this 5 times. I finally just clicked on the link to open in Safari and got into my account in my browser, which then I couldn’t even find my saved invitation. Went to menu bar and no option for drafts, my invitations, nothing. There were sent and received but no drafts. I could see my flyers but not invitations. So I went back to the app and pushed sent and finally it went through. OMG. You seriously need to fix this. It’s not made for on the go.

I am not one to write reviews but this program has not only saved me but continues to amaze me! I searched through many websites who say they will provide digital invitations, tracking, etc, but this is the ONLY website/app I found that lets you upload your OWN. Other websites/apps only allowed you to use their services ONLY if you used their templates. I will say the website or desktop version exceeds 5 stars and the app is simply useful for keeping track and receiving notifications once you have entered all that is needed. Bottom line I will use this website/app for years to come I’m sure from birthday parties to holiday parties to simply just small weekend get togethers. I have not tried the new “flyer” invites but I am already looking forward to using them as well! Everyone LOVED my baby shower invites and loved the personalized envelopes even while digital! The coins part is nothing to complain about I gladly spent a few dollars on extra coins (to design and send invites), especially for all the tools this website has to offer! Love it. Download it!

The app has been a decent solution for wedding “STDs” and invites, in some ways. Very easy to use, attractive elegant visuals, reasonably priced. My biggest issue with the app is how it handles letting people know who is invited. I painstakingly assigned a specific number of guests to each person (plus one, plus three, etc) in the feature of the app that is purpose built to allow you to do this. But the email invites that folks received do not have this information. No one is rsvp-ing to my wedding because they aren’t sure if they can bring their spouse or not, let alone their kids, and it’s an awkward question for them ask. So I’m having to follow up every invite with calls and email, to explain. Maybe there is a way to alert people to number of guests but it certainly wasn’t obvious. And I thought about updating people names to include this info, but spending another $80 bucks to resend all my invites is just too annoying.

I love the cards offered on this app thus the couple stars in my rating. I don’t even mind the price because I think they are really nice for digital greetings. However, the app itself is very cumbersome and buggy to use.

My biggest problem is that is sllllloooooowwww when you’re trying to do things like change text properties, and it freezes and crashes so often when I’m working on a card—just simple things like editing the text or trying to pick out a backdrop. It’s so frustrating to lose my work part way through, often multiple times. Sometimes I can pick back up if it saved the card mid way to drafts, but even then sometimes it’s only partially saved things or I have to search for the card again and start over completely.

This has been an issue for me (iPhone 12 Pro, latest update & fully updated PP app version). It has been a consistent experience since the first time I used the app, but seems to have gotten worse recently. The last couple cards I sent were such a pain to get through. I really like the cards that are offered but I’m not really sure that the experience warrants the cost and effort anymore.

As an app developer, I know just how difficult creating an app can be. There are so many technicalities that make things complicated and frustrating. However, paperless post is a sizable company and it continues to have so many technical glitches that at times it is unusable. Many times the app (and website) will be down and there are so many technical errors (unclickable buttons, pages don’t load, automatic log-outs, pages freezing, error message saying wrong password when the PW is correct, to name a few). Sometimes, like today, it’s impossible to even login! These are mostly backend issues I imagine but guys, get it together.

The designs are really beautiful and managing the events is simple but unfortunately these technical issues make the app incredibly frustrating.

On an app improvement note, if I have created upcoming events, it would be more intuitive for the first page I see when I open the app to be my example management page instead of creating a new event. Also, if I have drafted other events that are not active, they should be displayed later in the queue as opposed to at the front.

I love that this app has some fun and original designs. I don’t mind paying for them because I love them so much. The downside is that the user interface for the app is terrible. It’s not intuitive to navigate, the section where I need to add recipients to email the invitations is very annoying to use. I can’t edit any email addresses that I enter manually. So I have to delete all recipients until o get to the address with the typo. Then I have to delete that address and then retype the correct one AND re-add all the other addresses. There’s got to be a better way?? There should be an address book feature that I can select addresses from. If I don’t have the addresses prepopulated in my phone I have to type everything in manually and risk typos. It’s just unwieldy and frustrating to use. Oh and once there was a bug and some of my guests received invites and some didn’t. Why do I keep coming back? Oh right. Cute designs. That’s only going to keep me for so long...

I love the idea, and the invite designs are wonderful, but trying to use this app on an iPad pro is very frustrating. The editing tools are not very intuitive. When I attempt to edit text the keyboard covers the invite so I cannot see what I’m editing. There is also a lot of stalling and lagging as other reviewers have mentioned.

I also wish I could easily copy and paste my customized text into different invite designs. It’s not easy to test different designs, and a little frustrating to spend some time customizing one design, then realizing it’s not quite right, but having to start over in another design.

I would also like to be able to export my designs. I would pay for that, as the built in invite system isn’t going to suit my needs for my office party and I wanted to be able to just send the invite graphic through our office calendar. Maybe this IS an option? But I couldn’t find it.

Great service but the app is not very intuitive. For example- make it easy to add text to a card. Make certain customization options easy to find. certain functions that are available on the desktop/website are unnecessarily not available on the app. Another strange difference between the app and website- on one it showed my RSVPs including the plus 1s toward my total guests and on the other it didn’t. It caused confusion about how many total guests were coming. I think it would just make sense to streamline the two so that the user doesn’t have such a drastically difference experience, not to mention that most ppl are probably using the app to create and send invites so why not have the all have full functionality. Today that app crashes every time I try to edit a card so definitely has been a frustrating user experience.

I am usually a big fan of Paperless Post….BUT, The updated Paperless Post App for IPhone and IPad is very frustrating to use on an IPad or IPhone with latest version of IOS. It constantly freezes, so that the user has to stop editing/typing message, and completely exit the app, then re-enter and hope that the message portion one typed was saved as draft, Took me two hours to finish a simple message card on my IPad because the app kept freezing and losing the message I had typed. Using the website on IPad was no better, it also kept freezing and losing message that had been typed. What gives, why is ut so very hard for Paperless Post to make a user friendly app and website that works on IPhone and IPad? It seems Paperless Post is only good to us on a regular Mac computer, forget trying to use on an iPhone or IPad … unless you want to get really frustrated.
