  • Fantastic!

    I’ve used this app for a few years now for family Christmas and for parties and it’s bees awesome! Happy Christmas!
  • Great app but couldn’t add myself in

    Great app. Good features. But I am disappointed I couldn’t add myself in as in the invitee ( it would be nice to take part in secret Santa too).

    Hi Bellagr8, thanks for downloading the Secret Santa and for taking the time to write a review. I'm not sure what happened, but you most definitely can add yourself as an invitee. Please email me at littlehelper@secretsantas.gifts if you need help. Cheers, Ash
  • Should be more obvious that this is £££

    More than 6 people costs £3.99. Should say that upfront as I wouldn’t have wasted my time inputting all the details. I’m happy for apps to charge, they take time and commitment to create, but it should be clear immediately

    Hi abc472, thanks for downloading the Secret Santa and for taking the time to write a review. For a single event with up to 6 people, notifying guests by email, the app is completely free. If you're lucky enough to have more than 6 friends then there is an In-App-Purchase to unlock that feature, that also allows you to send by SMS, and create a Wish List for your events. Cheers, Ash 🎅🏻
  • It’s actually $4 app...

    Deceptive description. I wanted to review name selections and manually distribute names myself but can’t even see name assignments without paying a $4 fee. Deleting.
  • Email format ruins surprise and wasted my time.

    I wanted to receive copies of the emails just in case, but unfortunately due to poor planning the copied emails are sent with each persons name and gift-receiver directly at the beginning of the email so even if I don’t open them, I still see everyone’s ruining the surprise. Tried to re-do everything without sending these emails, emails were still sent second time. Huge waste of my time. So frustrating.

  • Very Poor Design

    If you access the app on one device you can’t look at the results on another device. For example I set up my list on my iPhone but can’t view it on my iPad. Many of the recipients didn’t receive their messages because they were caught by spam filters. I didn’t realize until it caused much confusion, but each time I went back in to the program to try to resend or look to see who was buying for who it changed the buyer/receiver. I’ll be looking for another program next year.

  • Not really secret using text message

    I was the organiser for my family which we have 15 people. Therefore had to pay to premium which I liked any way as it allows you to use phone numbers and text people. The thing I also liked about this app is that you could choose who not to buy for which helped with partners.
    BUT when I went to send out secret Santa it shows me who everyone else is buying for. Not so secret for the organiser :-( so I ditched this app.

  • Amazing service

    Hi, had an issue with babb but emailed and was fixed straight away. Thank you so much!!!!!
  • So easy

    I'm really enjoying the app.
    It works so easy and quick.
  • Took my money and won’t work!

    We have too many participants in our gift exchange for the free version of the app so I paid the one time fee for the extra features, it charged me twice and won’t let me unlock the features or restore purchase. So I jus paid $8 for something completely useless to me. Don’t make my mistake!

    Hi Nessa, thanks for taking the time to write a review, and for your email. I'm sorry that you had problems with the app. Just to clear things up, as you became aware when checking your purchases, you were only charged $3.99 once. Before I could look at resolving your issue, you decided to use a free app, so I advised you how to get a full refund from Apple. Cheers, Ash
