Frustrating

I liked the lite version for my families gift exchange but I've added a new person so had to upgrade to get eight participants. It's clunky and needs to know more information but doesn't say why. It didn't transfer the info from the lite version. I just wanted it to remember the names everyone got last year but nope. I was hoping the texting would make it easier for some but it sends it as an email and needs the carrier. My carrier isn't even an option. Something that should be so simple is a royal pain. I would have been happy if I could add more people to the lite version. This was definitely not worth the $2.99.

You may select native mode in the options screen for the sending to use the iOS send screen just like the Lite version does. When using native sending mode you will not have to enter the carrier. However, it will popup the iOS send screen for each message being sent.

Quick and easy for Christmas names

Nice app, we have used it for four years. It is very handy.

Great for Christmas names

The new update is great! We have used it for several years. The grouping to keep people from getting their SO name and history limit to keep people from getting the same name as last year is very good.

Don’t buy this app!

It is a pain to use. Takes forever to set up, and no matter the settings will not show the organizer who has been chosen. Too many steps. Bad design, bad execution!

Thank you for your comment. With your exchange selected you may touch the action button and select “set exchange complete” to see the names drawn for all participants. Alternatively you could select each person, touch the action button and select print to see the print preview of the notification for that person.

Terrible..

This app is terrible. I put everyone’s names and numbers in and it won’t send. It just keeps saying “sending” forever and never sends.

Response from developer

Please contact support@wilsonware.com and let us know what device you are using such as iPhone 8, iOS version, and the send settings in the app. Thanks.

Don’t pay for this app

Used it last year and after a few hours of trying to send names out it worked. However this year it just is not working after countless attempts. I even added everyone several times and it never sent out the notifications.

Response from developer

Sometimes email providers change security settings and it may be necessary to change settings in the app. Please contact support@wilsonware.com for detailed assistance. Thanks

Its great but.....

If you have more than 7 participates you need the paid version

It doesn't work

It crashed when the notification is sent. I'd like a refund.

Meh

Meh, meh. Clunky Ap. Not easy to use. Too many steps to set up

Does the job

For the price, I was expecting a slicker interface and look/feel. I would also have like an option to allow/disallow loops of gift recipients. But it does the job.
