We all need to make a living right? Based on other apps on the iOS app store, I feel this app is well positioned. Firstly you can use Event Planner in full when you first install it during the free trial period. This means you can test the app and make sure it meets your expectations and needs before spending a single penny. How many times have you paid for an app off the bat, only for it not to work or do the job you wanted? I know I have. So try Event Planner for free, and if you like it, pay a small amount once a year to continue using it with all current and future functionality unlocked. And thanks again for choosing Event Planner!
