### 3/5 — it works but there are ways it could further advance.

*2024-12-11, version 4.2*

As the title says, this app works well and gets the job done. I enjoy being able to see the photo of the products but there is much improvement to be made. 
1. Be able to change the order in how the gifts are seen

2. invite friends to be able to collaborate on a list

3. ability to delete lists

4. ability to create a duplicate of the same list

5. After a list is made public, you should be able to private it again. 

6. it could be helpful to have a separate place to be able to type in the price instead of having to type it in the notes

7. select multiple gifts and delete them if a list is private or after a list is archived

8. be able to change a link of an item you are editing

### 3/5 — It works

*2024-12-11, version 4.2*

Works enough!

### 3/5 — Convenient, but buggy

*2024-12-10, version 4.1*

Makes it much easier to figure out who’s getting what for who, but the search functions for assembling lists don’t work the way they’re supposed to. They rarely grab the picture and price of the item from the website

### 2/5 — Won’t work anymore

*2024-11-14, version 4*

Won’t allow update

### 3/5 — Good

*2023-11-23, version 3.8*

I like this app as there are recommendations and a lot of websites to view from and directly add to your list. The one thing that I don’t like is that this morning when I was adding stuff to my list when I press on the my lists button the app crashes so please fix this.

### 2/5 — Complex to use

*2022-12-22, version 3.6*

Complicated to navigate, app mostly down. Disappointed

### 2/5 — Not the best

*2022-11-03, version 3.1.4*

Can’t delete items once added to list some links don’t open after I sent list to friends

### 3/5 — Love the idea, too glitchy

*2021-12-13, version 3.1.3*

A great start but many of the links do not open and not even able to copy paste into search browser.

### 1/5 — Good At First

*2021-11-24, version 3.1.2*

This app seemed great, everything was working fine and then once I finished all of the “merchant site” buttons did not work and never connected me to the links. Virtually erasing everything I had just worked on. Disgusting.

### 3/5 — Needs a bit more…

*2021-11-20, version 3.1*

Can’t delete items from a list created for someone else. Doesn’t always curate a picture based on the link provided. Otherwise, it’s a good free app.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2021-11-13, version 2.5*

People can’t see what items are available on you list unless they get the app. It is also very glitchy and links that you include with the list disappear and stop working all the time.

### 2/5 — Encountering bugs

*2021-11-02, version 2.5*

Uploading and editing items in my own list: after an item is added, I can’t change the URL. The box is greyed out. Also, a few minutes after adding the URL to my item, the link disappears and instead the item’s description moves to the link box. 

Please fix before the busy season!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-10-26, version 2.5*

Most frustrating app I have ever seen.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I guess it got hacked? I dunno.

*2026-01-02, version 4.5.1*

All my list links are redirected to a shopping site of some sort.  It does not work at all anymore.

### 1/5 — Does not work with links to items!

*2023-12-16, version 3.9*

We tried putting actual URLs from specific items at websites and when you click on it, it takes you to foreign countries, including Amazon. All of our Amazon link took us to Amazon in the United Kingdom and we are in the United States. Even when we tried searching through the app, it was iffy that you would get to the actual item you were looking for. Almost bought wrong things as a result.  This app pretty much useless. Will not be using.

### 1/5 — You must have an account

*2023-12-12, version 3.9*

You can’t use this unless you have an account. I can’t even try to see if it’s any good. No thanks.

### 1/5 — nope

*2023-11-27, version 3.8*

i don’t like this app because it won’t allow me to access the list i made! i am deeply disappointed after spending so much time on the list when i tried to access it the app just brings me to the home screen. deleted

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-10-08, version 3.6*

FAQ on the app is not useful. I don’t want to watch an entire video just to answer 1 simple question. I’ve had this app on my phone for about 15 min and I already want to delete my account! Unfortunately I’ve searched everywhere on the app but there doesn’t seem to be an option to do so, which is absolutely ridiculous, and no contact info on the app so I can’t even reach out and ask. 👎🏼👎🏼

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2023-07-13, version 3.6*

Gives you an “error check network connection” message when you try to do anything other than just typing in a gift name. That means you can’t use any other features like searching for the items on Amazon, or look for gift ideas on the gift idea page. All you can do is type a list, which is the same as using a notebook app that your phone already has.

### 1/5 — Fundamentally flawed don’t waste your time

*2022-12-18, version 3.6*

Being asked the question ‘what do you want for Birthday/Christmas’ and asking the same question to friends and family I thought there must be an app that allows me to build and share a list and get other to do the same. I gave this a go and spent some time populating it with products from the partner website like Boots and Next as well as adding my own from other stores like Lush. What a waste of time. The option to add a url has a major glitch. Once saved the URL is overwritten by the product description so when you click to visit the merchant store to buy the gift you get a bad link. So sharing your list with people, they will not be able to click through to actually view or buy the product. Hope this gets fixed as it’s a dud app otherwise.

### 1/5 — Loved at first

*2022-12-08, version 3.6*

Links work at first. 
All links now say invalid url
Can’t contact anyone 
Spent a entire day creating a list that can’t be accessed  now

### 1/5 — Links don’t works

*2022-11-28, version 3.5*

Thought it was a great app until a week later the links stopped working.

### 1/5 — Terrible!!

*2021-11-30*

Terrible

### 5/5 — Practical, enjoyable, and easy to use!

*2024-12-12, version 4.2*

GiftList has always been my go to app around Christmas time. It’s fun to use with my family and friends every year! I’m happy to see the app updated often and the team has been very responsive to any issues I’ve faced in the past. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to make their Christmas wishlist shopping easier!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-12-11, version 4.2*

Easy use and alot of help around the holidays!

### 5/5 — Great app for sharing my wishlist

*2024-12-05, version 4.1*

I like how once I made my list I was able to share it via a link with my family and other friends who might want to get me a gift.

### 5/5 — Best option for the whole family

*2024-11-27, version 4*

Our family is spread out and GiftList makes planning Christmas giving for our family easy. It replaces group chats that we used to use and allows us to see who’s getting what in one place. The feature to see all the items I’m planning to get makes shopping easier as I don’t have to worry about forgetting something.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app!!!!!

*2024-10-10, version 3.95*

Best app I ever used I just installed this app on Tuesday October 8th 2024 and I love it so far! I am using this app for all of my friends and family’s birthday, Christmas and other holidays gifts! This app is the best free app for everyone who wants to be organized with gifts for all of their friends and family’s!!! 

To the people at Gift List, your app is the best ever! Love the app soo much!!

### 5/5 — Makes gift organizing easier

*2023-11-23*

Figuring out who is getting who what is always a pain for my family. This app let everybody sort out who’s buying what for a person without them being able to see the chat

### 5/5 — Great Concept, Excited for More Updates

*2022-11-06, version 3.2*

I think that this app is great! It is definitely going places. I am also excited to see that this app is getting regular bug fix updates. I hope that there are more coming, because I’ve had a few issues. One issue I had was that once you add a picture of a gift, it will only stay as long as you keep the picture in your camera file, and it would be much better if the picture stayed on the app and I’d rather not have to leave random pictures of objects in my camera roll. My family also discovered that the link for a gift list item is sometimes replaced by the words we put in the notes section and then we lose the link and others can’t access the link anymore. If it wasn’t fixed in the recent bug fix, I hope it is fixed in the next one.

### 5/5 — Lilah

*2020-11-14, version 2.0*

I love this app! For a girl who doesn’t have access to stores like Amazon or target because my mom doesn’t like me shopping online, this app gave me a little more freedom. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — App that made my life easy

*2020-07-09, version 1.33*

Its awesome app, hav'nt seen any like this, you can make your wish lists and chat about different things

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-11-30, version 1.32*

Help connect and makes everyone happy with their gifts for the holidays. Could have not found a better app.
