### 4/5 — By: GirlyC00k13monSt3r!

*2026-06-28*

So, Giftster is a great app to store and remember the wants and needs on your list. But, it is hard to connect with other people to see popular listed items. If you want to make a list for your family they also have to be on the app, which is hard if they are not. Most of the time I like to make a list of what my family would like for Christmas, birthdays, etc., but I can’t do that without them seeing. The app is great otherwise. You can rate your gifts from least to best. You can also search for presents on the Google app that is provided free for you to find your item. I recommend this app for people who don’t care to much about the decor and fun if you get what I mean. But out of 100% I would give the app Giftster an 85!

**Developer response:** If you set your list privacy to "private" you can make your own lists for other family members for your own reference, and nobody else can see them but you.

### 2/5 — Ugh Amazon

*2026-05-18, version 6.2.1*

Please make it easier to add items that are sold on sites other than Amazon.

### 4/5 — One key missing feature

*2026-05-01, version 6.2.1*

I love this app but I wish it would show which gifts were purchased. As a mom of 3, it’s difficult to remember which item was added on their lists and which I may have forgotten to add since when gifts are purchased, it doesn’t show. The item just disappears from the list. Please add this feature to this otherwise fantastic app!

### 5/5 — GENIUS

*2026-04-13, version 6.1.11*

Not only is this the best idea, but it’s also so easy AND FREE. If you have a link, boom, it fills it in for you. You rank it and go on about your day. I have four adult children, two son in laws, a daughter in law, one grandchild, a husband and mother. We are in one group! o more stressing over what to buy for whom.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-03-10, version 6.1.11*

It’s so easy to use and understand. Best gift list app I ever used

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-07, version 6.1.11*

This is a 100%. I’ll keep this app. It’s great to find out what family wants. Keep birthdays list Christmas list. Gift list and other people’s list.

### 5/5 — Hehehhehehe

*2026-02-04, version 6.1.11*

Hehehheheheheh

### 2/5 — Duplicate Items Bought

*2026-01-10, version 6.1.10*

this app started out being everything. I wished it would be it allows you to insert any links to any items that you would like so that people don’t buy duplicates. I use this for my Christmas wish list and other people thought it was a great idea and also downloaded the app. Fast-forward to Christmas.… and we come to find out that it didn’t block out every item someone bought so they ended up being duplicate items purchased so a couple people, including myself, had to go through the hassle of returning things because they didn’t do the one thing that it was supposed to do.

### 4/5 — Ok but has a glitch

*2025-12-29, version 6.1.10*

Well, the app is cool for gathering multiple websites in one I sent it to my entire Family and I received duplicate gifts because nobody knew they had to mark the item as bought individually it should automatically be changed as gift bought

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2025-12-22, version 6.1.10*

I love this app it really simplifies lists for holidays and birthdays

### 3/5 — Giftster sucks

*2025-12-21, version 6.1.10*

Yes, giftster is not fun. I will not even allow me to update my own personal gift selections on my 
iPhone.

### 5/5 — My wife was right

*2025-12-20, version 6.1.10*

My wonderful wife is always helpful and her showing us Giftster was a true gift!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2025-12-18, version 6.1.10*

My family never got me the wrong thing and always got me the things I wanted with no duplicates!!!  I rate this 5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

### 5/5 — Gifster

*2025-12-15, version 6.1.10*

What a great tool for families to communicate gift wants and needs for gift giving ease.

### 5/5 — 10/10 recommend

*2025-12-14, version 6.1.10*

I live across the country from my family and around Christmas time it starts to get chaotic we all downloaded it and even my great grandmother was easily able to use it. It’s organized enough where you can find things with little to no effort while also hands off enough that it’s still YOUR list. Zero notes zero flaws. Absolutely recommend if the holidays are challenging

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-12-13, version 6.1.10*

I like Giftster because evrywone will love their presents and they will get something they always wanted sometimes the links don’t work

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-09, version 6.1.10*

Awesome and useful app

### 3/5 — Ce que j’améliorais

*2025-12-07, version 6.1.10*

Lorsqu’on réserve ou achète un item sur la liste d’une personne, tout le monde peux voir c’est qui .Donc tout le monde sais qui a piéger qui … c’est bien de pouvoir avoir accès au liste de tous, mais  cela enlève la surprise au gens, car ils peuvent savoir ce qu’ils vont recevoir.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Family

*2026-06-25, version 6.2.2*

Our family love Giftster! We have been doing it for years now

### 1/5 — Very unresponsive

*2025-12-20, version 6.1.10*

App is very responsive and often have to close and try to reopen.  Sometimes groups load and sometimes they don’t.

### 1/5 — Great butttt

*2025-09-07, version 6.1.3*

It’s great except trying to use the app I can’t change the language or currency.

### 1/5 — Glitches already.

*2025-06-03, version 6.1.1*

I have a complaint. I cannot look at my items on my wish list because the app keeps freezing. I just downloaded it yesterday. What’s up with that?

### 1/5 — DONT LIKE

*2024-12-15, version 6.0.12*

If you want to send it to someone you can’t they have to make an account and do all that so i can’t even send it to anyone without them have to signup and stuff .

### 1/5 — Uggg

*2024-12-09, version 6.0.12*

Too many steps. Easier just create an Aa
Axon list online

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2024-11-29, version 6.0.12*

This app is so awful. It logs me out and when I try to log in, I get an alert ‘things a bit twisted up at this moment’ and ask me to re-start the app. I do this a handful a day and so frustrating. Even the website is the same.

### 1/5 — iPad app only works in vertical mode

*2024-11-17, version 6.0.12*

Why won’t this app rotate on an iPad??!?!?  It makes it impossible to use on an iPad keyboard!

### 1/5 — Meh

*2024-05-31, version 6.0.7*

It gets boring

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2024-01-25, version 6.0.3*

I got this app to make a College Dorm wishlist for my roommate and I to share with friends and family. I kid you not, I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out how to add items into our group wishlist. I tried using the Help icon, and that didn’t help. The app layout is so confusing and not straight forward. You have to go through all of this extra stuff to add things to the list, and even that the instructions are so incredibly unclear. Honestly just gave me a headache to even try to figure it out. Will be deleting the app.

*2026-07-10, version 6.2.2*

### 5/5 — Shopping Made Easy

*2026-07-07, version 6.2.2*

Great way to make sure everyone in your life gets what they want for their special day and especially makes life easy during the holidays. Liz can be updated throughout the year, once you purchase an item for somebody it doesn’t allow it to be purchased a second time. Links can be included with items to make shopping easier for your friends and family. I love this app highly recommend 10 out of 10.

### 5/5 — This is the best app

### 5/5 — Great app for gift lists

*2026-05-23, version 6.2.1*

### 5/5 — Best of the Best

*2026-05-16, version 6.2.1*

This app is free and such a great tool. Haven’t experienced any problems and am in multiple groups.

### 5/5 — Very helpful when gifting

*2026-04-15, version 6.1.11*
