  • Really 3.5 Stars!

    Excellent idea. Ok execution. User interface just a tad clunky… but overall a real nice app. Really like being to reference previous years, and really like being able to add gift as an ‘idea’ and then changing status later (for example to ‘purchased’, then ‘wrapped’, etc.). App would easily garner another star if they would add the ability to have different lists besides Christmas… especially ’Birthdays’ or even a custom designation. And while it’s not a big deal, I see no point in having an option to count down to ‘New Years’ in a gift list app.
    Please add ‘Birthdays’ list option and I will add another star.

  • GREAT APP! (+ suggestions)

    I really love this app!
    As someone who likes to stay super organized, this helps tremendously.
    I do wish it was updated more often though…

    The future suggestions I’d like to see are:
    - a small completion bar next to each name on the main PEOPLE screen, that way we can see the progress for each person…
    - the ability to click on each picture for the gifts already added…we should be able to enlarge the pics for quick reference. Now we can “take a photo” or “add from library”, but no way to click on a pic we’ve already added
    - a checked off section perhaps? Once we buy a gift from our list…it should move down or out of the gift list…
    - DEFINITELY a links section. It would be nice to click on a gift’s link to open a safari webpage…

    Anyway, great app with immense potential but idk if the developers are that invested in making it better.
    I bought the pro version, and happy to pay extra for more features.

  • Handy Tool

    I have used this app for a number of years for Christmas list. I like most things about it. I have different categories for my work, my husband’s work, family, friends and gifts my child needs to buy. I love being able to set up ideas during the year as well as tracking the progress of the ideas (purchased, ordered, etc...). The filters could use a little work. You can filter, but as soon as you click on a name for more information you lose the filter. Biggest con - I can’t export the list. I would like to be able to export certain categories (with or without the filters applied) so I can give a hard copy to those who don’t use my app. Another suggestion is the ability to just import last year’s people onto the current year. Overall a good app, but a few improvements would make it great.

  • Very easy to use!

    I really like this app! It allows you to categorize your list, put in an amount that you wish to spend, and then how much you have spent to keep you within your budget. In addition, it allows for ideas, when the gift is purchased, wrapped, and delivered so you do not forget any step. It keeps me organized for family friends and work!

  • SO helpful. 3rd year using this app!

    This is such a great tool for setting and keeping a holiday budget, knowing what gifts you’ve already purchased, and who still needs a gift. I buy gifts over the course of several months and this app helps me remember them all. I like being able to look back over the years to remember what I’ve purchased before, too. 4 Star rating because the add a gift action assumes you’re giving multiple people the same gift so it’s a teeny bit clunky IMHO but that’s a minor issue compared with the appreciation I have for this gift organizing app.

  • LOVE this app!

    I wrote this a few years ago and I’m still using this app for Christmas. Unfortunately, the two suggestions I had have not been added that I can see. It would also be WONDERFUL if they added a “Birthday” and “Misc” list to keep all gift purchases in one app.

    Just purchased the Pro version of this app and it is absolutely worth the $1.99! Very easy to set up with just a little confusion on adding a generic gift like ‘cash’. I give various gifts of cash and needed to make a different gift for each amount. I love the way you can see your list in a number of ways and also like knowing right away what you’ve purchased and what is still left to do. Two requests to the developers: 1) allow me to order names under each group, i.e. I like to put family members together and the app will only sort them by first name alphabetically. 2). In the progress chart, let us tap on one of the categories and see what that number represents, i.e. 6 No gift purchased....who are they? Aside from these suggestions I am in love with this app! Oh, did I mention in the Pro version it will sync between devices????? The best.

  • Keeps me organized!

    Love this app! This is probably my 4th year using it to keep track of my Christmas Gifts and spending! As an accountant I appreciate that I can set a budget and determine what I spend each year. I can also look back and see what I bought the year before. Love the visual images of all the items I buy. I would recommend this app to keep your spending and gift giving organized. The only negative is the pdf reports don’t tally all people on my list.

  • Great!!!!

    This app is totally user friendly and really gets you organized. I have 47 people to buy for and many family members where we buy multiple small gifts. I love the dashboard and countdown clock and the ability to track everything. Awesome! If you keep track of your Christmas gift purchases- it doesn't get better than this app. Seriously, it's so simple to use and so helpful! Also, I had a technical issue and the the developer support was amazing!

  • Game changer & permanent part of my holiday shopping.

    Used this app for over 5 years. Love love love it!! Before this app,I’d accidentally buy multiple gifts for one niece and complete forget buy anything for my nephew, embarrassing 🤦🏾‍♀️. I have 3 siblings and multiple kids ,and my husband’s side is the same. I can easily keep it all in one place so I know person I need to buy a gift, what gifts I’ve already bought, and more importantly, how much I’ve spent. While it’s not exact, since it a manual input, it helps to see how much you spent in total and on each person . Snap a picture in the app and it stays on the app in the cloud for years. You can move gifts from one person to another or save unassigned gift and decided later. Best of all it saves your previous years list of people and gifts (and photos) so you can see what you bought that person last year. I only use it once a year at Christmas but its a life saver. Worth it for the paid version because I think that’s how you can save years.

  • Great app!

    This app is wonderful! I have used it for five years now. It helps me to keep track of all my Christmas gifts. You can keep track of each gift from idea to presentation! And as absent minded as I am I don’t know how I ever did without it. You can even look at what gift you’ve given in the past so that you don’t give someone the same thing two years in a row. This app is invaluable!
