### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-12-18, version 5.0.2*

Does exactly what it says, great features makes it so easy to do secret Santa!

### 5/5 — Software

*2025-12-11, version 5.0.2*

Love the app, please update so all platforms can use, people also use android.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-20, version 5.0.2*

Link sent to everyone however app has now completely stopped working. Please delete this app so no one else wastes their time with such a poorly created app.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-12-20, version 5.0.2*

App literally stopped working and not everyone got to see who they got! Worst time to stop working. Very inconvenient

### 2/5 — List not showing up

*2024-12-19, version 4.0.16*

Worked well at first but now the app isn’t showing my list anymore and no one can access it.

### 3/5 — What does the app do if you have an odd number of participants?

*2024-11-10, version 5.0.1*

Cannot find app support to ask the question.

### 5/5 — Yeah

*2023-12-15, version 4.0.16*

Awesone

### 3/5 — Good app but please fix it

*2023-12-12, version 4.0.16*

The app is amazing, you cand send people a link with their raffle and who they got for secret santa which is super easy to do, the problem is that the app stopped working exactly at the time when i had to give people their match and it lasted a few days (possibly because of too many users) and than we had to use paper anyway and I had to send people photos of their paper raffle!!!! Terrible!!! I don’t mind if you monetize this with ads but dammit please make it work!!!

### 1/5 — Just bad.

*2023-12-07, version 4.0.15*

So, my family created a Secret santa, I got my link and it opens up on the web, I keep trying to add links to my wishlist and it only lets me add amazon links. I thought maybe by downloading the app I would be able to, I download the app and try to open the link with it but I can’t. It’s requesting a code to be able to see the list but nothing. Isn’t this app “simple?” I tried contacting costumer service and it always gives me an error.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-12-01, version 4.0.15*

This app use to work but with the new update is made it worse. It was better when I could add the participants with their cell number and they would just get a text with who they got but now the app is broken. Don't get it unless you want to be frustrated
