DVC Planner App Reviews

I have had this app for a while and havent used it much, but I just started going thru all the features and its my new favorite DVC app. I love that you can tap on the booking dates and it adds it to your calendar, what an awesome feature. This app is well worth the couple of bucks. Great job!!!

I think that this app is really good. It helps me manage my points and when I can call in for a reservation for dvc and meal plan too..

Do not purchase if you use your points outside the traditional DVC resorts. No way to track Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, RCI exchanges, etc. If you use your points for any of these, the app is useless. Just wasted money. Add these into it then I will be able to use it.

It wont keep track of the points Im using even after I entered my contact number.

This does nothing more than log a contract number, home resort, and point value. It needs to at least ADD banked points to current year points and remind you to either use or bank points before they are lost. The note pad that comes free on iPhone and iPad accomplishes as much as this app does.

This app worked great with the 5.1 OS. Sad to say that it is not compatible with OS6. The app shuts down as soon as you try to save any info.

Update has not worked. Opened for the first time after update, asked the iCloud question, and then crashed. Crashes everytime I try to open it.

I have used this app in the past. It is not as useful as it once was. I cannot add/edit reminders on saved trips nor view the mousekeeping schedule, both functions which were useful in the past. Tried to email about the issues as the app description recommends only to have the email bounce back. Its only usefulness now is to check on the number of points required.

This app does what it is supposed to but is not real intuitive. Also, the select dates button allows you to see the arrive date area but the depart date area is just barely visible and very hard to select.

Should include floor plans on resorts

Messed with it for over an hour! Trying to get it to work right. Added my contracts and up coming vacation. The initial use year is messed up, cant put in 2014 or higher. Doesnt let you make adjustments to point totals! Its bank, borrow, transfers or nothing.. Download D-POINT instead!!!! Much more user friendly!!!

After a few minutes crashes. Needs latest iOS update I hope they fix as I do like it Update.. I emailed developer and fixed issue on the next update and let me know about it

This app is wonderful! Intuitive to use, it really helps me keep track of my precious points. Developer is very responsive and worked with me to address bugs. Highly recommended!!

Theres no way to do a running total of your points, no reminders about Use Year deadlines, no options to keep waitlist data in one place. In fact, no way to do much of anything. Make yourself an Excel spread sheet with all the info above and youll have a better Disney Vacation Club management tool.

This app is my go-to DVC management app for mobile for several reasons. I continue to use it, even with the enhancements made to the Disney Vacation Club official website. Why? Because it gives instant, saved access to reservations, contract details, and, importantly, remaining points totals without having to log in via a website. (1) Reservations: Track existing reservations, rather than simply showing points needed for reservations. Importantly, you can assign the points from individual contracts. Calculates the dates for dining reservations, etc. And, it tells the dates for housekeeping, without the need to try and remember - something that I can refer to on my mobile device during the stay, without having to log into the DVC website to check. Available under the Saved Vacations tab. (2) Contract details: It is capable of maintaining these details, including use year and month (very important for accurate tracking of eligible points remaining - or for banking or borrowing). And, this works with multiple contracts, as well (an important capability for tracking your points if you own at different home resorts). Available under the Contracts tab. (3) iCloud syncing: For your iDevices. Chosen during initial setup. (4) Points total(s): As mentioned above, it doesnt just track points total for a single home resort. It tracks points totals for all of your home resorts if you have more than one. So, if you want to know how many remaining points you have for a specific home resort in a specific use year, you can track that. This really is a very helpful feature w/regard to home resort reservation planning. Simply put, I can quickly look up remaining points available for multiple resorts by use year in the Points Summary tab. I have used this app for several years because it does all of these functions. It’s not just an app for planning purposes. It allows me to track my reservations, my remaining points available by use year and home resort(s), and more. It does just about everything but show me what resorts are available for reserving or making the reservation. Frankly, it’s quite remarkable that it has the functionality it does, given it’s a third-party app. In my book, that makes this great - one that I continue to use.

As the subject line indicates, this is a follow up review from September 2015. I emailed the developer with the issues I was having this app, and within a day or two he responded. He seemed to genuinely want to help to improve my experience with the app as evident with almost a half dozen back-and-forth emails. Initially, although he tried several angles and ideas, he was unable to solve the issue the app was having with my iPhone. I had written it off as a failed attempt when I received a follow up email about a week later. The developer had continued to toy with different solutions until he happened upon a resolution that was effective. An update was made shortly thereafter and the app has worked as intended since. The fact that a solution was found is not what impressed me. It was his willingness to establish correspondence with me as an individual to try and resolve this conflict. I hope that more app developers demonstrate this quality. I am an iPhone user and always maintain the latest iOS updates.
