Rubbish

This app is purely rubbish. It didn’t even work in the 5 minutes I tried to use it. It wouldn’t load when I tried to use it on Safari even though it said it would. Whenever I clicked “Wishupon” or whatever this app name is, it refused to save my wish. Don’t waste your time on this stupid app

Omg

This app is so great you can tell your kids to put what they want for their birthday or Christmas

Response from developer

Spam notifications can’t be switched off

I like this app, it helps me keep track of items I want to buy that I wouldn’t purchase at the rrp.

There are two issues however.
Firstly- you often get informed of price drops too late and items have sold out or returned to the original price.
Sometimes, even checking instantly, the price is incorrect.
The second, and for me the worst, is that you don’t get to select which types of notifications to receive and these have gotten increasingly more “spammy”.
I appreciate that using a free app means seeing advertising, but to be so frequently contacted by useless and irrelevant push notifications is quite frustrating.

Ultimately, in its current state, the app doesn’t work reliably enough for the spam notifications to be tolerable.

Hopefully this will be remedied soon otherwise I will have to delete at the next update

Confused

I just want an app like the Amazon wishlist so I can put on my Christmas likes, share with family and friends and then when they buy a gift they can tick it off so the others know it has been purchased. That’s it. This seems over complicated. I can’t seem to make a wishlist, only a collection. I can’t see where this ‘reserve’ function is. My family have now had to set up a WhatsApp group to discuss who has bought what. Not ideal, will have to try an alternative for next year

Thank you so much for providing your feedback. We apologize for any confusion you may have encountered. We'd like to share with you that by enabling the "Set as gift list" option when sharing the wishlist link, you allow your friends to reserve a gift directly from the shared list page. Though, we'll do our best to improve our UI/UX to make the reservation process more intuitive. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your input and hope to provide an improved experience in the future.

Awesome app but one major flaw

I love this app, but I’d love it even more if people I share lists with can see whether and item has been purchased. So far this holiday it’s been a pain having to deconflict to prevent duplicates.

Response from developer

Thank you for your positive feedback and for expressing your thoughts on how we can enhance the app. We appreciate your suggestion about adding a feature to show whether an item has been purchased when sharing lists. It's valuable insights like yours that help us improve. We'll certainly consider this for future updates. In the meantime, we're delighted to have you as a user and wish you a wonderful holiday season.

Specifically downloaded to watch for a sale but was never alerted

It was lucky I was checking as what I was watching for dropped $500, and it never dropped in the app. Posting the link in The notes app would work better and there’s no ads!

Response from developer

Hi S.nugent, we apologize for the inconvenience you encountered with alerts. To swiftly address the issue, could you forward the problematic product link to hello@wsupon.com? Our team will work diligently to resolve this matter promptly. Thank you for your understanding and hope to hear from you soon.

The items do not remove when purchased

There is not a way to mark and item as bought nor does it come off like a real registry. This is pointless and will cause many duplicates.

Love this app but..

This is a great place to keep all those things you wish you had, and share for Xmas ideas or birthdays.. except my daughter shares her list and with 49 things on it 8 load and it gets stuck… so I can not see the entire list. Ugh

UPDATE: I contacted customer support and they quickly responded to my concerns and corrected the issue on their end within a few minutes.

WishUpon App Review: A Disappointing Experience with Excessive Notifications

TL:DR: Get “Karma” App instead. It’s free and does everything this app does but better.

WishUpon, a wishlist app that promises to simplify your online shopping experience, unfortunately falls short of its potential. While it does offer a few convenient features, its overall performance and EXCESSIVE notifications hinder its usability.

One of the most frustrating aspects of WishUpon is the barrage of notifications it bombards users with throughout the day. These notifications often serve as mere promotional messages, lacking any customisation options to remove them to individual preferences. ITS SO ANNOYING HAVING THESE CONSTANT NOTIFICATIONS. And you cannot turn them off.

Inaccuracy regarding price drops is another significant drawback of WishUpon. Users may find themselves excitedly clicking on an alert only to discover that the price drop information is completely incorrect. Such inaccuracies undermine the app's primary purpose, causing users to question its reliability.

To exacerbate matters, WishUpon bombards users not only with push notifications but also with email notifications, creating an overwhelming influx of unwanted messages. This excessive approach to notifications feels intrusive and diminishes the overall user experience.

One of the few redeeming qualities of WishUpon is its ability to organize items into folders. This feature allows users to categorize their wishlists, making it easier to manage and find specific items. Additionally, the app's automatic linking feature, which seamlessly connects items to the app, simplifies the process of adding products to your wishlist.

Regrettably, these positives are overshadowed by the app's insistence on pushing users to download the "plus" version. This persistent promotion becomes extremely annoying and detracts from the overall enjoyment of using the app.

In conclusion, WishUpon fails to deliver on its promise of being an efficient wishlist app. Excessive and intrusive notifications, inaccurate price drop alerts, and pushy promotions for the "plus" version detract from what could have been a useful tool for organizing and tracking desired items. Until these issues are addressed, it's difficult to recommend WishUpon as a reliable and enjoyable wishlist app.

I strongly recommend to all to get the alternative app called “Karma”. It offers the same features to WishUpon but with vastly superior execution and no need to pay. Karma offers customisable notifications, accurate price drop alerts, and an intuitive user interface that allows you to quickly and easily organize your wishlist. With Karma, you won't have to deal with the same frustrations as you would with WishUpon.
