Hi Willats94. Thanks for taking the time to write a review - I'm sorry that you've had problems with the app. There was an issue with sending mail over the weekend. This has now been resolved and all your emails should now have been delivered. If not, please email me at littlehelper@secretsantas.gifts and I'll help you out, or arrange a refund. Happy Christmas, Ash

Did not send emails

Despite setting up correctly and entering all emails into my contacts no emails were sent out. Wasted my time.

Creator knows everything

The person setting up the secret Santa event knows the details for everyone. The app required me to send each text one at a time, and the details were visible on my screen. The details are also visible in the sent text message history.

Email should be transparent

Emails are not transparent to the organiser and come from the organisers email address rather than via the app. So you still get to see who is s buying for who. Also other secret Santa sites also offer an ability to put in wish lists as well for suggestions.

Hi Bundybare, thanks for downloading Secret Santa, and thanks for taking time to write a review. I understand that some organisers don't want to see who is buying for who, and it's possible to see this in the app when sending emails / SMS. I'm looking at ways around this, and will have a solution in a future update. Of course, who buys for who would only be apparent to you - for all the recipients the secret is still just that (maybe I should rename it 90% Secret Santa!). Happy Christmas, Ash

Paid version missing basic features

Disappointing. I bought the app but one person received an email that was unreadable, and there is not apparently a way to switch his contact info to resend the message to his phone without reshuffling the results.

For the price, this app should be able to do more, like allow anonymous questions to be asked if each participant.

Hi liseetee, thanks for taking the time to write a review. I'm always working to improve the app, and new features are added with every release. Please contact me at santa@secretsantas.gifts and I'll try and resolve your issues (or get you a refund). Happy Christmas, Ash

Email function doesn’t work

This app is supposed to be compatible with my phone and iOS version. Everything worked great, including adding people from my contacts, choosing who needs to buy for a certain person or not to buy for. The last step sends an email to each person added, but I kept getting an error message that my phone can’t send emails. I checked all my settings and my mail app is set up with an account but it still wouldn’t work. Very disappointed bc I ended up just spoiling the surprise (for myself) and looking at the matches so I could manually send an email to each person with their secret match.

Not So Secret Santa

This app was great until the very end and it showed me the text it was going to send so I now know who everyone has which kills the Christmas spirit... pretty upset.
