What Is It?

Appy Couple is a great app for when you’re taking on the task of organising a wedding. It aims to take all the stress out of checklists, invites and also allows for your guests to interact with you about the big day.

Not only do you get arrange your big day, in terms of invites and who the best men and bridesmaids will be but you get to share the story of how you both met with your guests. You can also put your registry on there so that guests can decide what they’ll be getting you as wedding gift.

It also includes a message centre so all involved with the wedding can keep up to date with what’s going on and when, such as when the bridesmaids and bride will be dress shopping and the groomsmen and groom can discuss where the bachelor party is being held.

It also includes a handy events list so you can list what time and date key events that relate to the wedding are occurring. Lastly, it has a countdown to your big day so you know just how long you have left to plan before you become Mr and Mrs!

We Love:

It’s incredibly well set out and you can choose from many designs and layouts so that you really can personalise your experience. There really isn’t anything they haven’t thought of with this app, you can share photos as well as important details will all your friends as well as each other.

There is also a quirky little games section that allows you to have a bit of fun which keeps it from being too serious. It’s a great alternative to a diary as you don’t have to carry around mounds of paper, you’ve got it all down in your phone instead.

The events calendar is particularly good as it doesn’t only show you what you’ve got and when but goes into much more detail such as where the event is being held (with the option of directions), allowing you to add a dress code, theme and playlist. You can also add a little poll to the event, for example ‘Who will forget everything from the Bachelor party?’ and it will also give you a weather forecast for wherever you’re holding the event.

Downfall:

It’s an absolute pain to get on in the first place. You need to set up an account first which can only be done online. To set up the account you need a code which you’ll be put on a waiting list for, you can skip the waiting list by tweeting and liking the app on Facebook but otherwise you could be waiting for days. Once you’ve personalised and set up your account you can then access it from your phone.

Verdict:

Once you finally get on the app, it’s definitely worth the free download. You really can control all aspects and considering most people have a smartphone these days, you shouldn’t find that your friends won’t be able to join the app too. If you’re not arranging a wedding right this moment then no need to rush to download as Appy Couple insist that their app will always be free!
