About this app

My Party Planner helps you plan parties and events. It has five sections: "TO DO", "Guest", "Menu", "Shopping" and "Budget" in addition to general information.
It automatically sorts TO DOs by due date/time and allows you to set reminder on them. It also allows you to import guests from contacts on your phone and manage RSVPs. While planning the menu, user can enter to-do and shopping items for a specific dish. So on the to-do list or shopping List, user can easily see which dish the item is for. User can also search recipes on the Internet and save the web address for future reference.  

Key features include:
Sorted to-do list shows how long until event date/time for easy planning
Import guests from contacts and quick call/email access within the app
Assign to-do, shopping items and guests when planning the menu
Quick look up for recipes and save recipe's url for future reference.
Create similar event by copying from existing event
Mass copy items from one event to another

This lite version is free, but it has Ads and it doesn't allow users to email/send events or set reminders.

***Upgrade from Lite to Full app:
When you upgrade from lite to full, you can use the "Backup and Restore" feature to migrate your data.
To backup your lists, open the lite app and click on "Menu"->"Backup and Restore"->"Backup" in Routine View. Then click on "Backup" to use the default folder or "Select Folder" to choose different location.
Then open the full version, click on "Menu"->"Backup and Restore"->"Restore". It will open default backup location. Choose the folder which contains backup files and click on "Restore". If you have chosen different backup location, then navigate to that location and click on "Restore".

Ratings and reviews

I've tried many, and this is the best. I switched from an android to an iPhone several years ago, and this app wasn't available on the iPhone. I tried like 10 different party apps (even paid for one) and none compared to this one. It's one of the main reasons for getting rid of the iPhone and going back to an android. I throw a lot of parties throughout the year, and this app is a godsend. I LOVE it !!

I thought I had reviewed it before. Been using for years & it does everything it says. I love the countdown feature & how you can add tasks linked to food items - and now to decor items. I had requested a section for decor since I make most of my decorations (I used to keep them in with the food) which they just added, & a backup feature is now available. I use this for my annual Halloween party, which is huge, and I couldn't live without it. Support is great - you get a response to questions right away. Plus, it's so cute! Try the free version first, but you'll want the full version right away. This one is a keeper!

So far it's great! But I thought if someone else downloads the app, I could share the event with them within their app by using the "Send Event" option. When I send the event out, it just sends it all as text, which ends up being kind of a crazy amount of text. If you can make this happen, I'm happy to give a 5-Star because that solves our family's most important need!
