Leave a Review The Christmas Gift List Pro
Great app for Christmas budget tracking
Very happy with the app, I’ve tried a lot of others and this is the best so far. I only have a loading issue once and a while where it gets stuck on the main page and I have to reboot, otherwise it is wonderful and recommendPurple4jes
Great App But Improvements Needed
I have been using this app for 3 years now so that shows it’s a good free app.
That said, there are a few things that could be improved.
Sometimes you want to buy the same item for people, but the app will not allow you to enter the same named gift more than once which is annoying as you then have to try to rename in the app the gift you’ve bought people.
I’m also not sure that the graphs and totals on the summary page are entirely intuitive. It seems like unless you actually enter some kind of ‘dummy gift’ to a persons name that it doesn’t tally the totals up entirely correctly.
Nothing major as you can see, but definitely things that would make using it better.Show lessCambridge Girl
Third year running!
Started off with the free version for two years and have just upgraded to the paid! Love it! Now if only it could directly link with popular online shopping sites like eBay etcBakrimax
First time using it, would like to see some fine tuning
Overall, I think this is a good product. It's nice to have a place to organize my shopping list, keep track of purchases, etc.
We tried doing family sync, but it did not work. It may be due to the fact that I had her buy it after I bought it, but we then deleted it, purchased it through my account, and the data was still not synced in her version. I contacted customer support, but their suggestions did not allow my wife and I to share the lists on our respective devices. It would be much better if there was an in-app feature where sharing could be set up with other devices from a master user, rather than having to use family sync through our Apple devices. I don't want to share all of my wife's apps, just this one.
My wife also thinks it would be nice to have a way to mark someone as done on the list. Maybe a way to darken their listing or "highlight" through it. One of people's favorite things to do is check-off their lists, and this would provide an opportunity for that.
Otherwise, I'm happy with this purchase.Show lessSheez6
Great app to help gift organization!
I love this app! Have used it for about 3 years now. It really helps me stay organized and within my budget. Love being able to create different categories like Christmas and birthday but would be easier if could use same names within different categories. Have to add something to names to do that now. Also would be nice to have progress show separately for categories to give a more accurate picture of budget and progress for each category. That’s the only reason I didn’t rate it a 5.Show lessscdolphins
Excellent Gift App!
I’ve tried many gift apps but this one is the best. Enter your people in different categories such as family, friends, etc. Set a budget for each person. Enter the gift, the cost, a pic. Enter purchased, needs to be purchased, Idea, shipping, revived, wrapped or presented. Also a place for notes. It’s easy. I’ve had it two years and there’s not one better that I can find. I got mine on “App Advice”. Used to be “Apps Gone Free”. So I got it free and the pro upgrade free but knowing what I know I’d pay for the upgrade!!Show lessQueeniebee65
4 stars because this is my first year
This has been great this year. I went for the paid version because I did not want to deal with the ads. I love being able to categorize and how I can put in information and stores. It tells me my budget and gives me so much information and yeah I can also make it work for me personally. My only question is whether or not I can copy the people in to next year and not lose this year‘s information so that I have a running record of what I gave this year so that I don’t duplicate gifts. That has been a problem in other similar apps.Show lessBreeze610
Does the basics well, but not much more
Does the basics, but needs more sort, group by options, ie show gifts by person, not store. Would also be good if could export lists to a file to print out etc, and sort gifts under people view, manually or by a function, ie price, status, and show gift image.Eddie chewbacca
Such a handy app!
This truly takes the chaos out of Christmas for me with the family. I know who wants what, who is getting what, what I need to buy, what’s purchased and what’s on layby and it tracks my spending! Thank goodness for apps like thisMagenta1512
Lite vs pro
Last Xmas I adored the lite version of this app so I bought the pro on App Store for 2018 but the pro hasn’t been working as well, I downloaded the newest version of the app so that can’t have been the issue. I also deleted and reinstalled it but gift list won’t let me add people as gift recipients from contacts or just through the app. I have gone back to using my lite version for now which is still working fine. Hope this little bug is fixed before Xmas as I usually love this app and go on it every single day!!Show lessrgilpin19
