Brilliant app. For budgeting & storing gift ideas.
I’m a busy mum trying to get a grip on our finances & I’m responsible for suggesting/sourcing/purchasing all presents (birthdays & Christmas) throughout the year. This app is EXACTLY what I need. An easy-to-use interface (& no junky extras that I won’t use!). It is massively reducing my mental load.
I have logged every ‘recipient’ we gift to throughout the year. Then created an ‘event’ for every persons birthday, with its budget. Christmas 2026 & all kids parties are also budgeted ‘events.’ Now we can see what we are expecting to spend this year & a clear visual if I am staying within budget.
When an idea for anyone arises, it’s recorded under their name as an ‘idea’ to research/add website links/add cost to later. (No more endless phone notes).
If i later mark it as ‘purchased’ it’s taken off that events’ budget - so i can clearly see what i have bought & how much left i have to spend. PLUS- I’ll have a record of what I’ve bought for everyone so I don’t buy it again next year, and all ideas are to hand if anyone asks (eg. Grandparents). Thank you for this extremely helpful app! I am recommending it to others.

Great
Great app, really helpful and Craig is super responsive and quick. Worth the yearly cost.
Great
Such a great app.
Almost perfect
Great app for presents etc. I just wish they had a life time purchase instead of monthly/annually
Response from developer
Thanks for the review and for the feedback! I’m glad you’re enjoying GiftList. A lifetime purchase is something I’m considering for the future, so it’s really useful to know that’s an option you’d be interested in.
Brilliant App
Have been using this a while, it’s an amazing app and so helpful to keep track of gifts and money spent.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Response from developer
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.
Works for me
Let’s me keep track of what I have and what I have spent so far. Would like a few more categories.
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. I’d be interested to know what categories you are looking for? You can contact me via the email link in the app settings.
Amazing 🥰
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

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.
5/5
Great app, very useful and easy to use! I come back to it every birthday or Christmas ☺️👏🏼
Couldn’t be without it!
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!
Response from developer
Thank’s for your review. I’m glad the app is helping
Brilliant app
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.
Response from developer
Thank’s for your review. I’m pleased the app is helping you!
Excellent App for gift buying
Great little app for recording gifts that you have purchased.
One the most useful apps I have
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
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m pleased you like it.
Gift List
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.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your kind review. I have many more updates planned.
Fantastic app
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

Disappointing app. Short list and annoying pop up to buy constantly.
No graphs or easy view of amount spent or to buy.
Much better apps out there.

Useful app and very easy to use
Love this app!
I had been using a different Gift tracker app for many years when it completely stopped working and I came across Gift List Manager.
This app is everything I wanted it to be. I love being able to colour code the lists and have multiple lists too. It’s easy to add gifts to the lists and handy being able to mark gifts as ideas, bought etc.
The only other feature that might be nice to have is a running £ total of gifts marked as ideas?

Really great app
Allows you to easily track what gifts you’re buying. Without constantly pushing gift purchases at you. Well worth the money. I’ve managed to accurately stick to my Christmas budget this year. I could log presents as I bought them. The only thing I’d like to see if future is a present count function - so both kids get the same number. I can do this manually but if the app had this that would be top notch. But I’m still giving the app five stars as it’s truly great

Thank you so much for your kind review. A present count is an interesting idea, I will certainly look into further.
Perfect App for Christmas Gift Lists
So easy to use - love how you can add photos.
Best App I’ve used for tracking Christmas Gifts

Love this app. Just wish I could share it with my husband so we can coordinate Christmas presents together.
