I love it!

Excellent for large groups if you upgrade. Very simple and efficient to use.

It's ok

It's really good and helpful for a big group but then you can only add 4 people to the list unless you upgrade

Doesn't work as it should.

Used this app for a Secret Santa, obviously with it being 'secret' no one knew who was buying for whom. On Christmas day when gifts were opened 1 person got 3 gifts, another 2 people got 2 gifts each and 3 people didn't get any gifts at all.

There is no way of finding out as an admin, who is buying for whom.

I paid for the app as I had over 20 people in the group. It obviously doesn't work properly. Not really fair that some people didn't get a gift when they had bought for others.

DOES NOT WORK!

How hard can it be? This App basically has one function. So as a family, we decided to use it for our 2015 Christmas gift buying.

On a whim and a hunch, we decided to check on it by texting to a separate person the names we had all received to make sure everyone was accounted for. And we were so glad that we did! The App gave the same name to two people, so two people would have bought for one person, and another person would have completely gone without. It's kind of hard to believe that the App was not able to function suitably for the very purpose it was created. Not recommended.

Awesome and easy to use

Great app

No more getting your own name! Cool app.

Finally an app that works

I downloaded two other secret Santa apps prior to this and neither worked. I was beginning to think I should make an app myself since this was obviously so complicated but then I read the reviews on this one ad downloaded it and it worked perfectly! I upgraded to elite (only $0.99) because I had more than 4 ppl on my list and it sent the secret santa assignments with a cute little message. I'd definitely recommend this app over all others.

Really easy to use

Worked a charm. Bonus is not everyone needs to download the app as emails are sent. Have used it for two christmas parties and everyone loved the emails.

Great concept

User friendly, nice look, and gets the job done! I think there are just a few small things that could be added to help improve app. Users should be able to text or email individuals with info since not everyone has access to email even though we are in 2015 there are still people who don't use their emails. Also I wish there was a pop-up confirming that your emails were sent out, instead the screen remains the same so I accidentally sent the email twice (pressed the send button twice) which reassigned "targets"/ sent everyone in the group two emails, making things quite confusing. Overall app is a great paperless idea!

Do not buy

Once you upgrade, the app doesn't work, waste of money.
