Love THIS APP!
I have been using this app FOR YEARS (since 2013!)!
I absolutely love it for tracking birthday & Christmas gifts for each person and how much I spent. It is the absolute best!

Keeps Christmas organized!!
I have a big family and with 9 grandchildren this app is great for tracking what they want and whether it’s been purchased, wrapped or given. Have used it for years!
Used to be good
This app was good three years ago. Now it will not sync across Apple devices. We used the same email so my wife and I could add presents for our kids. Three years ago it would sync just fine and update. The last two years the sync just hangs and doesn’t work. It’s sad this app has gone downhill so much.

Best Gift Planning App, Even With Its Bugs
I don’t know if this app still even gets updates / bug fixes but I’m really hoping it stays around forever because it is my holy grail every holiday season. I’ve used it for three years now and even despite its bugs, it’s by far the best gift planning app I’ve used.
I love being able to share links directly to the app which then imports the gift for me, and I love that you can track the status of the gift all the way from when it’s an idea, to when you purchase it, when it’s shipping, when you receive it, when you wrap it, and when you gift it. I love being able to add all the people in my life into the app and have it automatically keep up to date with whose birthdays are up next, and I love the filtering options for when you actually view all the gifts. The budgeting is also super helpful, and I love that I get a view of how much money has been spent per person since I can easily get carried away!
I have a list of bugs that I’d be happy to pass on to the developers (if this app is still worked on) but even with the bugs, I am a faithful and adoring user!! I have tried every comparable gift planning app on the App Store and none even come close to how useful this one is. I’m someone with ADHD whose love language is gift-giving, so being able to organize all my gift ideas in one place is invaluable. I truly cannot put into words how much I appreciate this app and how perfectly it fits my needs.
I am over the moon that GiftPlanner exists and so happy to be using it. Thank you to the developers for building out a great user experience and wonderful app!! I’ll try sending an email with the bugs I’ve noticed and some feature ideas/requests, but even if this app never gets another update, I will be a user for life.

Horrible.
Going back to my previous app. This one is not at all intuitive and you have to enter gifts individually over and over again. Even if you buy the same item for several different people.
I don’t have time for this ridiculousness.

Works as intended
Simple and straightforward.
Simply brilliant
Does exactly what it says on the tin - simple, intuitive and an absolute gem of an app - the ability to convert gifts back to ideas would make it a six out of five!!!!
Used to be good
This used to be a great gift planner app but has fallen short the last couple of years. I’m not surprised that it hasn’t been updated in 2 years.
The scan for the import & pictures hasn’t worked in years meaning I have to add all my gifts manually.
It doesn’t update for annual holidays that have dates that move (Hanukah/Easter) so I have to find them & add them every year.
Also, the Stores page is uneditable. When I add a new store with its name & hit save, it just adds it without the name. So I have a bunch of blank stores. And there is no way to edit them or merge duplicates.
Like I said, this used to be a great way to track gist’s & ideas. And I have years of data in it that I don’t want to loose. But I just may have to cut bait & try a different gift app.

Data not syncing across Apple devices
I would love to give this app high ratings (no issues in the past! That’s why I keep coming back!) but all of a sudden I can’t sync from my MacBook to my iPhone (all drives up to date and both apps relogged in). So I have no data on my phone now. I hope this is a known bug and being worked on? Otherwise, I welcome feedback on how to resolved this!

Yes yes yes!
This app is everything I wanted and more! Very simple to add people and their key dates (birthday and anniversary), then track the status of gifts from idea, purchased, delivered, wrapped and gifted. It’s particularly helpful to be able to sort by different features, such as event date and person. Some features are a bit clunky but overall the app is excellent. Highly recommend!

Organization not good! Here’s something better:
1) First and last name of giftee(s) ; 2) [Section for ] Gift(s) IDEAS; [Section for] Gift(s SENT plus [Right Side Extension] Gift(s) Estimate or ACTUAL COST.
————————————————————-//——-
In between the above name(s) and the next name (s) on the list insert additional address & email & miscellaneous information. … …
——————————————————/—/-///—//-//—
1) First and last name of [Another] giftee(s); [Same Sections noted as before] … … Etc./Etc.
With the simplified version here, the app user can quickly-quickly scroll down the name (s) listing with ease to get to a particular name or names. This methodology basically works the same way as the Contacts app as far as organizing things.

The best gift list tracker
This app is the best Christmas gift tracker ever! I’ve been using it for four years running now!
Comprehensive!
This app looks a bit old fashioned and the interface could be improved but it has a lot of functionality, does nearly everything I’d like.
The developer is extremely responsive to questions which is fantastic.

Amazing app please read
This app is really good and easy to use First off when you make people and you put in a gift it then gives you the ability to look up links to that thing you are searching when I was putting in a gift for my cat Misty it gave me a link and I found the perfect toy for her and it matches all her needs but I have one thing I think could improve this app you need to make a dislike button and a allergic button too that way when it gives you a link it hopefully won’t give you something that won’t have one of he or she’s dislikes or allergies thank you for reading

Awesome way to organize and keep up with gifts
I’ve been using this app for years and really enjoy using it to track and organize gifts that I’ve purchased for friends and family.
great app
it does not sync well between iPhone and iPad. However, I have escalated this concern to the developers. Hopefully they can have a fix soon.
Alright I guess it’s time
This app has been out since 2012. I’ve probably been using it since 2012. It’s one of those apps that you don’t use or need consistently, but it does a job and does it insanely well. It’s not overcomplicated, it never requires your attention, yet it’s so insanely clutch. Thank you, dev, you have improved the lives of us all.

Great app to keep track of gift buying!
I have been using this app for keeping track of Christmas shopping for five years! It is awesome. Thank you!
Great but could be better
I really like this app but a few more features would make it way better. You can transfer an idea into a gift but I would love to be able to revert a gift back to an idea. And I'd like to more easily see how much I've spent on each person and also total spent, instead of just my total budget.
