### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2026-07-09*

Have been using this a while, it’s an amazing app and so helpful to keep track of gifts and money spent.
Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I'm really glad GiftList has been helping you keep track of gifts and spending. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, it really helps an indie developer like me.

### 4/5 — Works for me

*2025-12-16, version 2.3.2*

Let’s me keep track of what I have and what I have spent so far.  Would like a few more categories.

### 5/5 — Amazing 🥰

*2025-12-08*

Don’t usually leave reviews but your message popped up that you work on this by yourself! Honestly the best gift app I have used, easy to navigate, options to even leave photographs of items bought and once one is finished you can move it to the completed folder but still access to remember what you bought! I loved that I could keep up with how much I have spent without a calculator and even the option to have a budget there is also useful for other things! I bought full access to keep on track of Christmas gifts but I’ll also be using it for saving for the summer holidays 🥰♥️ absolutely no complaints from me, love it 🥰 xo

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review. As a solo developer is great to hear how people use my app. I hope you enjoy the new features I have coming.

I couldn’t organise special occasions without the help of this app. It’s clear and easy to use and takes the stress out of gift purchases. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2025-11-02*

Honestly don’t know how I would manage without this - when my kids ask for things all year I can just add them to this list. Then when Christmas and birthdays roll around - it’s all there and ready to go. A total sanity saver.

**Developer response:** Thank’s for your review. I’m pleased the app is helping you!

### 5/5 — Excellent App for gift buying

*2024-12-27*

Excellent idea, nicely done. It took me a short time to get round it and to get it to do what I needed but I wouldn’t be without it

### 5/5 — Gift List

*2024-12-23*

Took me a little while to work out how this app worked but it does most things I want it to. A place for where the item was brought would be helpful rather than just a website space, eg. Shop purchased from. Will continue to use for now and see what improvements are made over time.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review. I have many more updates planned.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2024-12-19*

This app has honestly really helped me budget Christmas and also be organised with what Iv got and still need to get. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS APP THANK YOU

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m pleased you like it.
