Maybe the ability to tap the present icon and for it turn red! ### 4/5 — Great to keep track. *2026-10-22, version 2.2* This is a great way to track what you’ve bought and how much you’ve spent. The only downside to it is there seems to be no way of knowing what you bought someone a previous year (unless I don’t know how to use it properly) Saves previous gifts in a long list but can’t see a way of seeing easily what gifts I bought someone particular before. But this is easy to use and great to have. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-10-20, version 2.2* It makes keeping up with what’s been ordered, purchased, or what I need to buy, and in a format that is easy to use. Merry Christmas everyone! ### 5/5 — Best Christmas list *2026-10-19, version 2.2* Simple easy to use,perfect Christmas list! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-10-18, version 2.2* Been using for years now. Easy to look back so we don’t duplicate a gift from years prior. Just wish it also worked with Android so I could have it on my phone while shopping. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-10-18, version 2.2* Wish the app had a scanner to enter the products I buy. ### 5/5 — Great Tool! *2026-10-16, version 2.2* The perfect way to turn chaos into an organized list ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-10-16, version 2.2* I absolutely love this app! Lists can be created for family and friends. It makes budgeting so easy. It makes being organized so easy. I’ve used it for several years. ### 5/5 — Couldn’t do Christmas without it! *2026-10-15, version 2.2* I use this app every single year - it helps me plan, budget, and keep track of what I’ve bought for whom. It’s the only app I’ve ever paid for and it’s worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-10-14, version 2.1* Really useful to keep track of Christmas gifting. Easy to use and lots of useful features ### 5/5 — Great organizer *2026-10-14, version 2.2* Excellent for keeping track of multiple gifts, people and budgets so you know exactly what’s done and what’s left. My favourite app that I always look forward to using! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-10-13, version 2.2* Finally my Christmas gifts organised and I can see what I have bought in previous years. This is a Godsend for someone with my rubbish memory. ### 4/5 — Keeps me organized *2026-10-13, version 2.2* I’ve been using this app for several years and find it very useful. It keeps me organized not just with my gift ideas but also helps me to keep track of my costs. A few cons: it would be nice to be able to transfer my gift ideas from one year to the next and not have to retype them in each time. And to have several gift lists i.e. one for Christmas, one for birthdays, one for special occasions, etc. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2026-10-12, version 2.2* I used this last Xmas and it’s taken the place of my spreadsheet. It’s very useful and I’ve recommended it to friends. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-10-10, version 2.2* I’ve used this app for many years and absolutely love it. I’m super organized with gifts and cost. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2026-10-10, version 2.2* I have a large family and this app keeps all the gifts and the budget organized. I like that it archives each year, too, so I can look back at what I have gifted previosly ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-10-09, version 2.2* I have been using this app for several years. It has made gifting for the holidays so much easier to keep track of. ### 5/5 — Great way to say on budget *2026-10-09, version 2.2* I use this to stay on budget! It also allows me to keep gifts from getting misplaced. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What happened to Gift List Pro? *2026-11-03, version 3.0* More importantly - what happened to all my years of data? ### 1/5 — Was 5 stars *2026-11-02, version 3.0* Hate the new design. Can not see the full names of everyone on my list. Please take it back to what it was!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Not impressed. *2019-12-21, version 1.6* Terrible. Takes your money won’t sync ### 1/5 — Won’t sync with other devices *2018-11-18, version 1.5.2* Have tried to sync with iCloud but will not, I am waiting for a reply from the app manager but none as yet ### 1/5 — How do you take AWAY features and charge more? *2017-12-24, version 1.4* I had the original version of this app for years, and really liked it. It helped me manage gift giving and budget for my very large extended family. Now, they have renamed the version I had as “lite” and made me pay again for a “full” version which is not as good as the original. NOT COOL. To make matters worse, they took away form of the features I liked about the original. -Now you have to re-type store names over and over again -The dial/menu that remembers past entries is gone -in an effort to use useless pie charts, it actually removed some functions that let me look at projected budget vs amount spent, including per person. -I used to save my Christmas lists from year to year. All that data is gone. -Once you enter a gift for a person, you can not delete that gift if you change your mind. It will remain in that person’s list, including impacting the budget calculation, unless you switch the status to “idea”. This is odd and annoying. -When I try to enter info for gifts similar to ones already on the list, it waits until I finish typing all the info and try to save it, then gives me a message “gift with this name already exists” then deletes the new entry. Very annoying. I thought I was doing the app developer a solid by paying for what I thought would be an updated and improved version of an app I’ve used for several Christmas seasons. I wish I had NOT bothered. The current version is awful compared to the pre-2017 versions. I think the reason it has 4 and 1/2 stars is because of old ratings from people like me who liked the ease and convenience of the old app. Don’t buy this app! Look for a better app; use Numbers spreadsheets; notes, or regular old paper and a calculator. ### 1/5 — Password function not working *2016-11-14* Hi I purchased this app as it said it had the password function as my children use my phone and I don't won't them looking at what I plan to buy them. The password only works after turning phone off completely. Once you put the password in once and then leave the app the password is then not required when returning to the app soon after so I am unable to use this app as it is pointless to use if you need to completely turn your phone off and on each time you want to use the app. If you do not power off you phone after using it once it is then NOT password protected. Very disappointed in spending money on this app! ### 2/5 — Sadly, the app has not progressed *2024-12-12, version 2.0* Whenever I use this app, I become extremely frustrated. It seems as if it hasn’t changed in any valuable way in several years at least not significantly since I’ve purchased it. It desperately needs a function that allows you to show which people are completed. If you have a long list of people that you are trying to shop for, you find yourself struggling to remember who is done and who is not, which leads to purchasing more than you need unless you keep going back and checking oh they’re done. I’m currently looking for another solution. ### 3/5 — Giving it a 3-1/2 Star *2025-12-16* Ideally, this does everything I need it to do- track gifts per person, including whether you need to buy it, have bought it, etc. And it helps you track your spending which is great. All of that works exactly as it should without being complicated. Now here’s my issues with it- I want the ability to rearrange the gifts I’ve purchased for a person into whatever order I want. Or at least be able to alphabetize the list. That’s my biggest complaint. My next biggest complaint- if I’m looking through the gift list of my son (for example) and I need to click on a gift to verify whatever, when I click the back button, one would think it would take me back to the last page that I was on. It does not. It takes me to the list of gifts, not even the list of people which doesn’t make sense to me. Overall, I think the app has 5 Star potential but it needs someone to spend some time actually making updates to it. ### 3/5 — New app purchase - good but older app was easier to use *2025-11-01, version 2.1* Like the app, helps keep me organised, but I previously used an older app that showed progress by using a Christmas stocking that changed colour and sprouted holy leaves as the buying/wrapping/presenting progressed. This made it very easy to track progress and I miss it. Don’t yet know how the archiving will work but hopefully it will prove useful too. ### 3/5 — New app purchase - good but older app was easier to use *2024-11-17, version 2.0* Like the app, helps keep me organised, but I previously used an older app that showed progress by using a Christmas stocking that changed colour and sprouted holy leaves as the buying/wrapping/presenting progressed.

So easy to use too. I love the fact that I can look on past year's gifts to see what gifts I already gave. If you love gift giving and like to stay on budget... get this app! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-11-01, version 2.2* This is the 6th year of using. Helps me keep track of what I’ve bought for everyone and stops me over spending, which is even more important this year. So handy to have on your phone when you are out and about. Have recommended to several other people ### 5/5 — Helpful for years *2026-10-31, version 2.2* I have used this 5 years now. Love it ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-10-31, version 2.2* I've used this app for 6 years now. Was happy to upgrade to paid version and now I can track gifts year after year. An important improvement, however, would be the feature where the total inputted gift budget could have a countdown to $0 as purchases are made ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-10-30, version 2.2* I’ve used this for years. The developers keep improving and I thank them. This app is the best for tracking year to year every gift you do, from homemade to online. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — So organized *2026-10-29, version 2.2* Keeps me so organized in buying gifts for friends and family for Christmas. ### 5/5 — Liking this app because…. *2026-10-26, version 2.2* Easy to use, updates across my phone and iPad. No complaints or suggestions at this point! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-10-24, version 2.2* I’ve been using this app since 2017 and I love it! Helps me keep track of gifts and staying on budget. I highly recommend using it. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-10-22, version 2.2* I have used The Gift Pro for several years, I absolutely love this app!! I show all my friends and coworkers and encourage them to use the app! ### 5/5 — Christmas gift list is great! *2026-10-20, version 2.2* Been using it for 2 Christmases it has kept me up to date and sooo organized!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
