Lackluster
I sincerely miss Gifted, but it’s no longer available. Gift Guru allows you to import contacts and their birthdays. It allows you to add SOME interests for recipients, but only if the interest exists in a pick list - no free text option. The search feature doesn’t appear to work for searching gift ideas. Navigation is not very intuitive in my opinion. Wish there were “likes” and “dislikes” fields. This was the closest gift organization app to Gifted I could find, but I’m just going to have to start a spreadsheet with the features I want.

Thanks much for the feedback! We're glad you're enjoying many of the features of the app and your suggestions are all great ideas! We'll add them to the product roadmap and hopefully have them available in the not too distant future. Feel free to share feedback and ideas any time and thanks for using Gift Guru!
Good gift app but couple suggestions
I went looking for a new gift idea app after I got a new phone and learned Gifted was no longer offered in the App Store. After trying several replacements, I found this one to be the most user-friendly and has most of the features I miss from my old app. Of course you can add recipients, their birthdays, and other events. It also has the ability to import contacts and any birthdays you have stored. I like that you can add interests and relationships for each recipient (i.e., “Sister-In-Law,” likes Dogs, Music, Yoga), and you can store different gift ideas in various stages (idea, purchased, gifted, etc). There is also integration that suggests and links to gift ideas that you can purchase.
I do wish that there were more Demographics options available for recipients other than groups teen and younger (teen boys, teen girls, girls 4-7, baby boy, etc). I also wish there were a free text option for a person’s likes or interests; if something isn’t in the list, you can’t store it. Also a a feature for favorite colors would be great. Overall it’s been helpful so far; looking forward to seeing more features added down the road which I would gladly pay for!

Brighten their day
I have an aunt who never forgets to send cards/gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions. Her thoughtfulness always brightens my day, but I’ve found it difficult to stay on top of sending cards/gifts to my loved ones. Then, I learned about Gift Guru! This app has all the tools I need to deliver thoughtful, timely cards and gifts. Also, the interest-based personalized gift search feature saves me from aimlessly surfing the web for the perfect gift. If you are looking for an easy way to spread joy to family and friends, this app is for you!

Best ideas
Suggest everything which makes giving gift cards a thing of the past!!!
Horrible to navigate
Unsure what the designer was thinking. Trying to just find gift ideas is incredibly complicated. I re-downloaded after the latest update expecting changes but it still doesn’t make any sense how I can browse gifts

Thanks for your feedback. We are working to add stand-alone gift discovery to the app home screen and recipient profile screen. In the first versions of the app the initial focus was on gift logistics (gift calendar, tracking gift history, etc.) as the gift discovery was too early to have as a primary focus. We're a very small team but are working as fast as possible to enhance the gift discovery platform and app overall. Thanks!
LOVE IT!
I used to always forget important dates like anniversary’s and birthdays! Now I don’t have to. This app makes it so amazing to remember the important date and helps suggest and find the perfect gift! You NEED this app! :)
Making life easier!
This app makes gift giving much easier for a working mom with a million other things to worry about. The creative gift ideas help take away the stress of finding gifts and brings online shopping to a new level. Gift guru is my go to for every occasion.
Easy to use
I think of gift ideas throughout the year for specific people. This helps me keep track of those ideas and send reminders on upcoming dates so I’m not scrambling to buy a gift.
Saves me every time!!!
This app is a must have! I’ve always been bad at remembering birthdays. Holidays sneak up on me and they become stressful rather than the fun, relaxing time with family and friends that they should be. With this app I no longer even have to think about it - it keeps track of important dates, will remind me or upcoming events and help me tailor gifts to the special ppl in my life.

Awesome birthday tracker!
Great app to track birthdays and special occasions like Valentine’s Day and anniversaries, especially for us that aren’t great at it. It already saved me this year. Extremely easy to use too
