  • Exactly what I needed to keep track of my holiday shopping

    I love this app for holiday shopping. This is my third year using it and I have no complaints. Some ideas for an even better app would be to allow people to share lists together across phones. Also, it would be cool to tell it what my total gift budget is and have it suggest an amount per person. Last, it would be nice to be able to edit the budget for multiple people at once, like by group, instead of having to edit each one.

  • Good, portable list

    Nothing particularly fancy, but it gets the job done. I like being able to group the giftees together — Work, our house Christmas Day, Mail out, whatever I choose. Also, with “family share”, I can share the list with my spouse, but my teenaged daughter can have her own separate list. Other Improvements since I started using it, includes being able to come up with a new & different list for different holidays. After Christmas, I copy the entries for “Birthdays” and use it for the rest of the year.

  • So helpful

    I’ve used this app for 3 christmases and I can’t imagine gifting without it. It’s so easy to track gifts and spending. I buy throughout the year so this helps me keep track of my progress and the budget. I also like that I can jot down gift ideas as I have them. It would be nice if I could pull up a master list of items I still need to buy. Currently you have to go into each individual person. Or if it is a feature, I haven’t found it yet.

  • Must have gift Organizer

    I’ve been using this app for years. Very easy to use. Updates have added helpful features. Easy to sort by status/person/gift. After downloading and trying several gift list apps, I keep coming back to this one. It is la long two features I think would be very helpful, and perhaps this is possible and I just don’t know how to do these things. At the end of the season, I would like to be able to unlink all gifts (but keep all the people) with one swipe or click to start over for the next year. The only way I can find to do this is to go through each individual. Also, I would love to see the option to organize birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc. gifts as well.

  • Keeps me organized

    I’ve been using this app for several years and find it very useful. It keeps me organized not just with my gift ideas but also helps me to keep track of my costs. A few cons: it would be nice to be able to transfer my gift ideas from one year to the next and not have to retype them in each time. And to have several gift lists i.e. one for Christmas, one for birthdays, one for special occasions, etc.

  • LOVE

    I love this app!!! I’ve used it for the last 5+ years. It helps me keep track of my budget, monitor my progress toward finishing my Christmas shopping, note the status of gifts (purchased/wrapped/etc.) and, when the year is over, I can archive everything and/or download a PDF showing what I purchased for the year. I also love that it can be password protected and that I can enable iCloud so that my data can sync across my devices. It even has a cute Christmas countdown so that I always know exactly how many days I have left. I’ve used other gift tracking apps in the past but this one is by far my favorite!!

  • Perfect Christmas organiser!

    I love this app and have been using for a few years now. I love that you can add different years and have a record of the gifts you have bought throughout the years. With online shopping, it’s a great way of keeping track of what you’ve bought, received and wrapped. This is worth paying for the pro version. It’s an essential part of my Christmas planning. Plus, it’s hidden on my iPad & iPhone and not in a notebook that I could leave lying around the house thus revealing all my surprise gifts!

  • Love this for keeping on top of Christmas gifts

    Easy to use and ideal for organising Christmas present buying. Helps to remember what is still to buy and what’s still to wrap, especially helpful for all those things I’ve stored away too safely. Really useful for understanding how much I’m spending too. Can check what I bought friends and family in previous years too. A great App.

  • A pretty good app

    I like that you can see your info on your iPhone & iPad. Thing I would change:
    - when you give someone the same gift, it assigns the same dollar value for each person. So if you write “gift card” as a gift & write the dollar amount of $50, the app has to list $50 for every other gift card you give, even if you have different dollar amounts. So you have to work around by writing “gift card” in different ways so it sees them as different gifts. Takes more time to input that way.

  • Decent but missing some options

    My main complaint is not having the gifts be individual to a person. If I buy two people basically the same thing, shirt for example, without naming them different you can't give one a different price or if you need to delete an item it will delete that item from everyone's list. I also wish that the icons changed, there is no difference between saying you purchased, received, wrapped or presented a gift. So if I purchased or received something it checks it off as having it but in theory I'm not done because it's not wrapped. They want you to use the sorting list to figure it out but the gift sorting list freezes. I also wish it would auto capitalize words but that's a personal pet peeve.
