It would be REALLY handy if the names could be rearranged by dragging into position when adding or deleting a person. ### 4/5 — Locking *2020-10-23, version 1.3* Can’t figure out where to put a passcode to lock the app ### 5/5 — Simple and perfect *2019-09-15, version 1.3* It was hard finding a Christmas list app I liked, I wanted one that was simple, color coded and kept me organized. This app turned out to be my favorite out of all the options. ### 1/5 — Crap *2017-11-07, version 1.3* Don’t bother it crashes or locks up all the time. And you can’t lock it so people can’t see gifts. Useless ### 4/5 — Simple App *2015-12-21, version 1.3* This app is easy to use and is good for simple tracking of items you have purchased or plan on purchasing. The only thing I don't like is that the app calculates total spent on items that have not been purchased yet. ### 1/5 — Where is the password option? *2015-07-20, version 1.3* Got the app specifically because of its password-protected option (shown in the preview) but there is actually nowhere to enter a password. ### 5/5 — LOVE This App! *2014-12-27, version 1.3* This app truly kept me focused and within budget (for the first time in 50 years)!! I did all of my Christmas shopping on eBay and Amazon and could easily keep track of what I planned to buy, what I bought, then received in the mail, and wrapped. Such a useful tool during the chaos of Christmas planning and shopping. I also used it as my TO DO list by creating a person named TO DO. LOL it worked for me. ### 4/5 — Great app *2014-12-19, version 1.3* I love this app. It is easy to use and helps me organize the people for whom I have to shop as well as their gifts. I like the many options to indicate and what status their gift is. I would like to see a countdown to Christmas. In addition, if there were another page where I could add the gifts that we received on Christmas and notations for whether or not we had written a thank you note, that would be most helpful to me. Even as it is, I will continue to use this app next Christmas. ### 2/5 — Incomplete *2014-12-14, version 1.3* No password, no lists by store, no reordering of people, no grouping of people between families friends and coworkers, no rotation, no creating an easy list of items that can be used for a number of people, no exporting, no cloud, no syncing between device. If you're okay with these shortcomings then this is the app for you. Otherwise come back next year. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2014-12-14, version 1.3* We searched for the perfect app. To remember what we got done for christmas!! This is awesome! Could not be happier! Thank you! ## Frequently asked questions about Manage Christmas ### What does Manage Christmas do?
