Reviews Summary

Top reviews

  • Super easy!

    This app worked flawlessly and so easily! My favorite park was “blocking” certain options. I was able to ensure that nobody got the same person as last year. There are a lot of ways to resend or look at the master list if anything goes wrong and that is great too.
  • Shame on them

    I really wanted to love this app. I read the reviews and only decided to go with it because they were so high.
    When I sent out my friend list, two people did not get an email at all, so I resent it. One didn’t get it again. I then texted it to him. Annoying, but acceptable.
    On the day, one person was chosen twice and another wasn’t chosen at all. Not cool. Feelings were hurt. Square away your system before subjecting people to something that functions poorly.
  • Quick and easy

    My only constructive critique would be to have option to navigate screens. (Ie going back to edit after leaving instruction page)

    Granted it was a small thing. This app worked perfectly for what I needed and it was quick easy cute. Can’t wait to see how it goes at Christmas
  • So Easy!

    This app is very easy to use, which is great as I needed to organize more than 10 people in a gift exchange. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I wish there was a text option. Most people don’t check their emails as often as they check their texts so that would make it even more convenient.
  • Seems good based on reviews, but lacking

    With such great reviews, I thought this would be an all inclusive app. But it’s not at all. Save yourself the trouble and use a website called DRAW NAMES. Much better! Suggestions - home Page that is Christmas themed with tabs for groups instead of a plain white page showing email addresss for the ONE group. Options to add more than one group (ie one for friends, one for family, etc..). Option to add exclusions (married spouses or those who had each other last year). Remember the Group from last year and who gifted whom to set exclusions. This app could be awesome if they made some easy tweaks.
  • Super useful for family reunion

    This is a great and simple app! My family is scattered across the US and we’re reuniting for Christmas. The only reason this isn’t getting 5 stars is because I don’t like not being able to go back and forth in the setup. For example, if I submit that the max is $30 and move forward to submit emails, I can’t go back to change the max or the name of the secret Santa party after that.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback! I hope to add that for next year. In the meantime, if you contact me I am happy to edit those for you. (Too late if you already matched folks, but just in case :) Enjoy the family reunion!!
  • Best secret Santa app

    This app is much better than the other ones where the person coordinating can see who has who. Everyone gets an email with an animated screen revealing their name- so cute and exciting! Got everyone in the mood to start getting their gifts. I also appreciated how helpful the support staff was and quick to answer my questions on email.
  • Great App

    This app was the life saver to keep our tradition. Since we weren’t gonna be able to meet before Christmas Day we used for our name drawing.
    Be sure to double check everyone’s email.
    Customer support was great at helping me out with people that said didn’t received the email.
    (Be sure to tell your friends to look on the Spam box, sometimes the email goes there)
    I def recommend this app for your Santa Secret drawing.
  • LOVE this app!

    This app was so easy to use and made it so easy to match people when we were all to busy to meet up and draw names. On top of all that, I messed up an email address and had to contact the owner through the Facebook page. They responded so quickly and resolved my problem in a matter of MINUTES! I will be using this app for all of my gifting from now on!
  • Secret Santa App

    I love this App. I am home sick and unable to gather everyone together and pick names the traditional way. I’m recovering from surgery so I don’t feel like speaking much on the phone. I discovered this app that creates an email for me to send out to everyone and shuffles the names and matches participants. I absolutely love it. I even had a late addition, which I don’t recommend you do. However, the app was so great they answered my emails and were able to resolve my issue and send out another email. This is going to be our new way to to Secret Santa every year! I love it!
