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 donโ€™t know this until youโ€™ve entered everyoneโ€™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 ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป

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.

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

Like it but I wish there was an option for the sender not to know who is giving who. Thatโ€™s the whole point of secret Santa, however the person who creates the group also gets the text or email on who got who :/

Secret Santa Not working ๐Ÿ˜ 

I just purchased this app so I could use it to send via sms and it wonโ€™t unlock it keeps saying already purchased when I keep trying to unlock it

Hi Pammy0711, please contact me at littlehelper@secretsantas.gifts and I'll try and sort out your problem. Happy Christmas, Ash

Not working!

Some people still didnโ€™t receive their email (3 days later). There is no option for a wish list and now someone has contacted me saying two people have got the same person to buy for. I paid for the premium app.

Hi Suziebc, if people still haven't received their emails, please contact me at littlehelper@secretsantas.gifts and I will try and resolve your problem. Also, the latest version of the app DOES have a Wish List - update the app and you can create on right now! Happy Christmas, Ash ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป

Great App!

Great App! Worked as expected. Required to contact support in regards to adjusting email address and resending. Ashley contacted us back immediately and instructions worked with no issue on first try. Highly recommend!

Hi "LinkedIn Member" (!), thanks for the kind words. The latest version of the app has a Wish List feature where guests can enter the gifts they'd like to receive. If you update the app, and then go to the "Mail" screen you should find it there. Merry Christmas, Ash ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป

Really good app but..

Really good app but was frustrating to spend time entering all the information for my guests and then find out at the end that I would have to pay ยฃ3.99 as my event had over 6 attendees :(

Response from developer

Hi Wyliebyrd, thanks for downloading the Secret Santa and for taking the time to write a review. With the In-App-Purchase, you can create as many events as you would like, add as many people, send by SMS, print the assignments, and create a Wish List - and this allows me to work on the app and add more new features. Happy Christmas, Ash ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป

Costs $3.99

It states free but wonโ€™t prompt the cost until you have gone through the whole process of adding names and contact info. (Over 6 people or SMS) Also, if you choose SMS you will be able to see secret Santa recipient since the message doesnโ€™t go through the app and instead is sent using YOUR number and phone. Shady. Donโ€™t use!
