Works, but doesn't

So we have used Elfster for the last three years for gift exchanges. Most of the time it works out really well. We really like the way it handles gift exchanges, especially the part where you can limit who gets who. It really helps with bigger families and not getting assigned your partner/spouse which is important in these exchanges. However, we had a big problem this year "Mark As Purchased" function. It would show that it was purchased on the individuals and who purchased it, but when we looked at other people's same list, it did not show that it was purchased. Others could not see that it was already purchased. So once again we had duplication of gifting. This is a basic function of this app and really needs to be corrected. Will we use it again next year? That really depends on Elfster and whether they can fix this functionality because that is one of the main reasons we used it.
