Missed a person

Missed a person off the list and gave to a person twice

DO NOT USE

Unfortunately this Secret Santa app was a complete let-down. It used the same name twice in the draw, which meant one person ended up receiving two gifts while someone else was left out entirely. On top of that, the spelling throughout the app is poor and makes it feel very unpolished. The app also performed badly, with slow loading and errors that made the whole experience frustrating. I wouldn’t recommend relying on this app for organising Secret Santa.

Disappointed

The wrong email was sent and so somebody ended up with 2 presents and someone didn’t get one! So disappointed. I won’t be using the app again.
