  • Wish list doesn’t work.

    Paid for the upgrade and can’t get wishlist to work for 6 participants. Disappointing.....

    Hi Hshdjdjsppaowjnx, thanks for downloading the Secret Santa and for taking the time to write a review. I'm sorry you're not happy with an app you've paid for - there was an issue with the WishList that has since been resolved. Cheers, Ash
  • Not working properly

    Paid to upgrade to pro version and ‘wish list’ function doesn’t work, just says ‘cannot connect to server’ disappointing as not cheap and like the other features / rules.

  • Secret Santa

    This app has improved our large family get together at Christmas so much! I love that I don’t have to decide who gets who, but also useful that I can choose who can avoid who! Really good support when I left somebody out by accident. Would be great if there was an easy way to add an extra guest and slightly reset-jig the original list.

  • Great Job

    I think this App is wonderful! Did everything I wanted and was easy to use. So what that I know who has me...someone has to be the administrator. It’s about the joy it brings to others. You can always go back to picking names from a hat if your upset about knowing who has you. Not thrilled about the cost but I will continue to use this app throughout the years

  • Be upfront

    This app works. We gave it 4 stars because of two issues. Firstly, I set the gift price parameters and had second thoughts but wasn’t able to go back to that page to edit the price range. Secondly, this is, practically speaking, not a free app. The free version is only good for 6 guests. Nobody needs an app for so few. If you are like us and intend to share with more, the developers should just say upfront that the app costs $5.50 or whatever because the features are worth it. It’s not worth the angry backlash from surprised consumers.

    HI Jaimester, thanks for taking time to write a review. You can edit the price range by swiping the event on the first screen - looks like I should have made that clearer. Keep a look out for an update next year. Happy Christmas, Ash
  • Not customisable

    You can’t tailor the message. The app chooses what to say, which was limiting enough to make it useless for me. Also, if you choose to send by text, you are presented with previews of each text showing you who has been chosen to by a present for whom. Deleting the app now.

    Hi steadivision, thanks for taking the time to write a review. The app is always being updated, so I'll definitely take your ideas into account. Try it again next year and see if it is a better fit for you… maybe it'll be worth 2 stars! Happy Christmas, Ash
  • Unable to even create an account

    I came to the point where i add my personal information followed by a password. The registration fails with Authentication failed error.

    HI falconiki123 - I don't know what app you're thinking of, but Secret Santa doesn't require you to enter any personal information or a password. You do not create an account to use this app. Cheers, Ash
  • Misleading

    You cannot have more than 6 guests to use the free version however you don’t know this until you’ve entered everyone’s names, done the draw and tried to see who everyone got. Big waste of time

    Hi hidududchyxi, 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. Merry Christmas, Ash 🎅🏻
  • The assignment emails went great but I can't get the wish list?

  • Hohoho!

    I love this app, I just wish it could generate more that 6 secret gifts as there are loads of people in my family and in my groups of friends. Yes there is a solution but it takes time and memory.

    Developer Response

    Hi SantaSaraP, glad you love the app, and thanks for your writing a review. If you unlock the app, you can have as many guests in as many groups as you like, send by SMS, and a new feature - you can create a Wish List people can let their gift giver know what they would like! Happy Christmas, Ash
