DVC Planner

Helpful. Let’s me see where I've allocated my points and helps me plan future vacations. Love this.

If it were free, it'd be just okay. Definitely not worth paying for as the information is out of date in some descriptions and calendar feature doesn't have a true pop up view to visualize. Lots of other clunky interface and planning issues as well. Doesn't seem like this app has been serviced in about eight years. Going to uninstall and use another free app instead.

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.

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 doesn't 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.

There's 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 you'll have a better Disney Vacation Club management tool.

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

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, can't put in 2014 or higher. Doesn't let you make adjustments to point totals! It's bank, borrow, transfers or nothing.. Download D-POINT instead!!!! Much more user friendly!!!

Should include floor plans on resorts

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.

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. It's only usefulness now is to check on the number of points required.
