Unless they add some basic functionality to include Android users, this is the evilest use of their walled garden yet.

The EU needs to regulate this

They don't need to because you can RSVP from an Android device.

They don't need to. Android users can do the most important thing advertised here (RSVP) without the app or an iPhone. Also, hopefully the EU has better things to do than constantly force Apple to support Android users (for free!) at the same level of quality as their own customers.

Do you really think so? I’m wary of walled gardens but as an EU citizen I think that we in the EU should try to innovate more and be more mindful of what regulations we put in place.
