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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Very good *2014-10-27, version 1.3* Very good app, but useless to me until it has iCloud support ### 4/5 — Love it, but wish that it would have... *2014-09-19, version 1.2* A sorting capability! Love the ability to enter gifts, but I wish it would have a sort - either alphabetical or by bought/not bought. Right now everything is in the order you enter it. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2013-12-25, version 1.2* I really love the app. Great for sorting and tracking gifts. I would pay for the option to backup though. Really, that is the only thing missing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Great App, but Password Doesn't Work *2014-11-28, version 1.3* There's a bug in the app, whereby when you press the home button and leave the app and bring it up again, the password feature doesn't work. The password only works when you force shut down the app using the double tap on the home button. Other than that the app is a very well-designed gift manager. ### 1/5 — Please Fix *2014-11-06, version 1.3* Really like the layout of the app. However, password does not work and no cloud support. App should sync with other devices. ### 1/5 — Awful waste of an hour *2013-11-30, version 1.0* Don't bother. Waste of time putting everything in only to have it combine people the next day. When you try and remove the combined gifts from one person they delete from the original too. Terrible ### 1/5 — Won't save info :( *2013-11-27, version 1.0* This app would be awesome if it worked! The layout is very useful, but I enter info for a person and then go back to the home screen and it's gone :/ ### 1/5 — Very buggy *2013-11-25, version 1.0* Can't change the gift status from "not bought yet"; budget calc is wacky. Deleting. Useless as is. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2013-11-24, version 1.0* Adding gift functions messed up, adds to multiple people. Budget calculations also display incorrectly in places. Not worth aggravation. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Great app!! *2014-11-29, version 1.3* Love the layout, add cloud support to use across devices and its a five star!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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! ### 5/5 — Love love love *2014-11-23, version 1.3* I have been searching for the perfect Christmas gift manager app for two straight years and I have finally found it. Love this app. The other ones are too technical, with too much information or not enough. This one is perfect with each person, keeping up with gifts I have in mind and ones I've purchased. It's simple to use and keeps an overall budget as well as one for each person, while showing the remaining balance person. Love it. The only thing I wish it would allow me to do is move or rearrange the order of my people. I want to group families so I can know that I have everyone on my list and haven't left everyone out. ### 5/5 — EXCELLENTLY app! *2014-11-16, version 1.3* This app is easy. And free! And very simple to use. I use it for gift ideas all year, not just at Christmas. I love it! ### 5/5 — AMA ZING APP *2013-12-09, version 1.2* The layout is perfect for managing your Christmas presents. All you could ask for in a Christmas app! You can even set a password so no one can break in and look at their present!!! ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2013-12-08, version 1.2* Love this app!! Super easy to use! ### 5/5 — Simple & To The Point *2013-12-08, version 1.2* Easy to use. No frills, but that means it is less confusing. Love the little snowflakes in the background-they make me smile. This is a nice list app that can help you keep track of the people on your list, your overall budget, a budget for each person, and gift ideas. You can mark the gift ideas according to whether you have bought them or not yet. My only request would be that a "received" option was available under the gift status for items ordered online. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-12-06, version 1.2* I love the simple layout? It helps me keep track! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-11-26, version 1.0* This app is just what I was looking for, at first I had to figure out how to add a gift. You have to scroll down to reveal the red add gift box. I only wish it had a password. Nice and colorful with snow effects. No glitches on my end! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
