  • Used to be 5 stars

    User since 2017. Was great to sync between phone and ipad (out shopping with iPhone but planning and online purchasing with ipad). Now sync starts but doesn’t complete. 2017 and 2018 Christmas are in list, 2019 is gone but 2020 is listed twice. Events are shown twice but have different information in each one (Mother’s Day listed twice but one has 4 gifts and the other has none). Was very frustrating to use it this year and I’m wondering if I need to find a new app for this year.

  • This app changed my life

    I've always been terrible at remembering people's birthdays and I can never figure out what to get them. I downloaded this app after making a resolution to be a better gift giver and it is so so helpful! I love how easy it is to add gift ideas and that I can see what events are coming up. Any time someone tells me they like something, I make a note of it in this app.

    Things that could be improved: sometimes the app has a bit of trouble pulling info from the website (its easy to customize though, just takes extra time). It would be nice to change the interface appearance (colors, etc), but hey its a free app and functional! Also when I don't know someone's birth year, it automatically titles the event, "Mary's 1st birthday", which is obviously not correct. Other than those minor things, it's a wonderful app!!

  • Not reliable-too glitchy to use

    This app used to be fantastic but now it’s too glitchy to use. I’ve had gifts go missing, gifts get duplicated, updates to gifts revert back to what it was previously. I used to love this app and recommended it to everybody. Ow I need to go find something else and then recreate all the work I’ve done on my gift list over the past months. Which is a lot. Thanks for wasting my time.

  • Any updates coming soon?

    I've been using this app for a couple years and thought it was great. I guess the developers don't think so because they seem to have abandoned it. I have syncing issues, duplicates, ghost tabs... If the app is over, please let us know.
  • Needs Update!!!

    Hasn’t been updated in a year?! Not optimized for iOS 13 and headings are cut off making it very difficult to use.
  • Great app, but needs an update

    I've been using this app for a couple of years now and have loved it. It's got all the features you could possibly need including budgets, gift ideas, spending totals, categories, stores, and much more. One of the things I like best is the ability to use it for all events, including birthdays, etc., not just Christmas. However, I'm starting to experience some glitches with things like events showing up twice and the left swipe not working. Is this app still being supported by the developer? If so, I'm hoping for an update very soon to address these issues!

  • Wondeful program!

    This developer has thought of everything. I now feel so free in knowing my gift inventory (and expense) for large family Christmas.
  • Love this! Have been using it for years!

    I love being able to see what I have purchased for my family and friends in years past, so I don’t duplicate...
    It is awesome to be able to add ideas and gifts purchased through the year for each person, and for different events...
    All around great app!
    I do hope you can fix the issue of not being able to see the whole screen on my iPhone XS. (The only reason for my 4-stars instead of 5!)
    Thanks for making a great, useful tool!

  • Very useful

    This app keeps me organized! I like to add ideas whenever I think of them throughout the year. I like that you can look as finished events to see what you gave in previous years (it is at the bottom of events “finished events”) It is also great to be able to add sizes for each person. I have trouble adding pictures through the widget, so I just take screen shots to add them. I have used this app for 6 years and still love it!

  • This app is wonderful!

    I’ve been using this app since 2015 and the developers are responsive and keep it updated. It’s missing a couple of little things that I’d like to see but all in all it’s still 5 stars. The safari extension is a huge timesaver that automatically adds an item online as a gift or idea for a specific person/event. I love that you can see pictures of the gifts in the list. I like having everyone’s bday, anniversary, etc not just holidays and be able to save ideas for them. I love the archiving feature so I can return back to previous years and see what I’ve given before. The notes section on gifts allows me to note where I’ve hid the gift... All around awesome. It keeps me sane and organized.
