On the go Planning Apps

Planning a wedding takes organisation as we all know and normally to help us we have a book or a diary with everything jotted in it.  My Boy was extremely cute and bought me and my mother ' The Wedding Bible' planner.  It was a file with beautiful photos in it and pre-made check lists etc.  Great if your wedding is in the same country but turns out not practical for travel as it weighs a ton.  So I thought I would look into what apps are out there that would be useful.
Now Apple has a variety of apps including the Amanda Wakeley app and also the IWedding Deluxe Planner App.  They cost between £1.99 and £5.99, not too much and having spent a little time playing with them seem like a great option.  You can link the Amanda Wakeley app to a website as well which is great if you don't want to have your phone on abroad and obviously easier to handle on a larger screen.  The IWedding Deluxe app seems to be very popular with an average rating of 4 stars.
Brides magazine has also launched its own app called Brides Wedding Genius which again has a website facility as well.  I t looks good has great sections and you can also share weddings with others on the site (if you really want to!).  It is free and the website address is as follows bridesweddinggenius.com.

The Android apps are not as good it seems as the Apple apps.  The 2 best seem to be Jimbl Wedding Planner ($0.99) and Tiago Barretto Wedding Planning (free).  The later does not have as many features for storing your images and dress choices as the ones mentioned above for the IPhone.  Jimbl is mainly a list based app, with less than romantic graphics but if you are a list person this will work for you.  Either option would be useful whilst abroad although I would look to have an online option as well.
