Great App, Could Be Better
What I’d love to see from it is a form of actual tracking though, from a glance. On the ‘everyone’ page, it would be great to see a progress bar with maybe colour coded segments. Just so you can see how far you’re going with each persons gifts - to see how much work is needed on making ideas into physical presents, or if you just need to get one last bit. Or, at least, something along those lines.
Another thing is budgeting - one of the massive reasons people track presents. Times are tough, and now more than ever people are needing to keep to targets. I wish there was a way to see how much you have left of a budget, or just a record of each persons limit. Similarly to my previous comment, a way to see how you’ve progressed through the budget would be super useful too. To help stop overspending, or to remind yourself that you still need a couple more gifts for someone when you’ve forgotten.
Overall, a great app. Just a couple thoughts to make it even better, in my opinion :)

Jingua - thank you for the comprehensive feedback and suggestions. I will definitely add them to the list. Unfortunately I had to take an enforced break from developing Everyone when Apple updated Xcode rendering my development machine obsolete. This was especially annoying since I had promised other reviewers updates too. However I have recently upgraded and am keen to start releasing new versions. Watch this space!
Wonderful
Would love to be able to amend the calendar date on an item so that if I don’t get it for them this Christmas I can move it to their birthday or next Christmas.
Apart from that it is incredible.
Response from developer
Rural vic chick - I’ve released version 1.7.5 to specifically address your request. Thanks for the feedback.
Super
Great app for gift tracking
Response from developer
Hi. AnotherReviewer42 That was a good idea so I’ve released version 1.7.5 with exactly that feature. Thanks for the suggestion.
Bon début, mais déjà abandonnée
édit 10/2023 : plus rien depuis des mois. Tant pis, j’efface.
Édit suite réponse : je vous ai écrit un tweet, mais je ne suis pas certain qu’il soit passé… Je me suis décidé à acheter cette application. Elle est intéressante et je me permets plusieurs propositions d’amélioration. La première, pouvoir synchroniser entre appareils. Ce qui permettra aussi d’assurer une sauvegarde en cas de problème sur un des appareils. Ensuite, pouvoir afficher la liste de tous les cadeaux achetés, peu importe pour qui. Faire une recherche dans cette liste. Pouvoir éditer un cadeau, quand on s’est trompé d’événement. Pouvoir créer des cadeaux et les assigner plus tard. Voilà 😉
Great, but…
Response from developer
Bortj - Thank you for your feedback; you have added a +1 to possibly the most requested feature. As I said noted to one of your co-reviewers I had to taken an enforced break from improving Everyone when Apple raised the minimum requirements for development machines rending my previous machine obsolete. I was mid-development of an iCloud synching solution when this happened. I have since upgraded my machine so hope to return to this in due course.
Great
Response from developer
Thanks for your review. In fact you’re not the first person to mention the direction of the wheel so I’ll endeavour to make it a user preference in the next release. Edit: Jayden-Jones take a look at the new preference in v1.7.4. Hopefully this meets your suggestion.
Good, but limited
However, I can’t change the event that the gift is linked to and I often swap out Christmas print to a birthday instead.
I’d love to stay on this app, but it’s forced me to change to another.
Change of rating from 3 to 5!
Response from developer
Hi slance1. Thank you for the feedback. I’ve released version 1.7.3 of Everyone specifically to fix the defect you reported. It should be live on the AppStore today. All dates and ages should be accurate.
Great Start
- be able to see birthdays grouped together under the ‘occasions’ tab
- same for anniversaries
- for occasions, be able to filter/quickly see who I’ve already got gifts for and who’s I’ve left to buy
- be able to ‘link’ anniversaries for two people so I don’t have to put the same info in twice (eg. Brother and sister in law)
- Automatically change gift to ‘given’ status after the event date so it doesn’t show as outstanding
Response from developer
Hi Dee.tress Thank you for the review and suggestions. I’ll definitely try and incorporate these in upcoming versions; they’re great ideas. There is a setting (accessed from the Settings app) to display birthdays in the Occasions tab. Please feel free to DM at @synapticgapps if this wasn’t what you meant.
Nice Birthday reminder app
1. Cannot turn off the Favourite/star feature. I don’t really want see how many years difference there are between people’s birthdays??? When I select a person from the list I’d like to go straight to the gifts list screen.
2. Importing from contacts had to be done one at a time - batch import would be nice.
3. A ‘Budget/Total amount spent’ indication on the gift page of each person would be useful.
4. On the main screen it would be useful if the list of Birthdays were categorised by month headings, so that you can easily see how many birthdays are coming up in that month.
5. Syncing across devices not available.
Response from developer
Thank-you for the review and the suggestions. I’m pleased to report that a couple of these, including hiding the relative ages (Star feature) and an easier way of seeing upcoming birthdays at a glance are already in testing for the next version. I’ll also add your other requests to the list and will hopefully be able to address soon.
Great app!!
Response from developer
Hi GZebadua. I thought I'd corrected the bug in version 1.1 but it's clear that it still remained for US users. I have discovered what I believe is the issue and have resolved it in version 1.1.1, which should hopefully be with you as soon as it's been through the App Store review process.
Days are 1 off
Response from developer
Hi ashley64735. Sorry that it’s taken me so long to respond - I was unaware of your review until recently. I have fixed (hopefully) the date bug that you were experiencing and have included it in version 1.1.1 that is just progressing through the App Store review process. I hope this improves Everyone for you.
Disappointed
Response from developer
Gertrude - thank you for your feedback. I apologise that I've only recently noticed your review. I had taken a break from updating Everyone but your review galvanised me into action and I have attempted to address your points in a new version, 1.1, which you should have shortly. I will be updating it further over the coming weeks that should make it even easier to use. I hope you take another look.
I wish you’d fix the date issue. Why did you go silent?
Contact has July 3 - App imports July 2.
Response from developer
Hi Lazy7D - Sorry that I missed your feedback. I was completely unaware of US-based reviews until now. Hopefully the date issue will be resolved for you in version 1.1.1. Sorry that you've had to suffer this for so long.
Love it!
2 problems: It would be nice to add/edit birthdays/photos in the app and not have to go back into my contacts.
And yes when the birthdays are imported from the contact list they are 1 day off.
Response from developer
Hi srhaw Thanks for the kind review. Both of the features you requested are included in the latest version, 1.1.1, as is a fix for the day-off bug that you mentioned. I hope you continue to use and enjoy Everyone and if you have any other requests please just get in touch.
Does not work
Response from developer
Hi Ark mom. Sorry that you have had no response from me for such a long time - I was unaware of US-based review feedback until now. I have updated the app so that you can change birthdates (without having to import them from the Contacts app) along with a number of other features in version 1.1. Hopefully these make Everyone the app that you hoped it was when you downloaded it.
Incorrect
Response from developer
Hi Hate Fox I’m sorry that this bug has endured for so long and that I missed your review too. I have corrected the bug in the latest version and added a number of other features. I hope you take another look. Best @synapticgapps
