### 4/5 — Card LIST

*2025-12-07, version 5.3.2*

Very nice. Simple! But not able to put ia alphabetical order:(

### 2/5 — I want to LOVE it

*2024-11-19, version 5.3.0*

But it will not import my large address file. I made sure it was exactly what was required. When I click on the file to import, the app just closes. Never uploads. Disappointed.

### 3/5 — Mobile app

*2023-12-17, version 5.2.0*

I love this app but for some reason the labels are not printing correctly. Please see what you can do to fix this.

### 2/5 — Too much effort

*2022-12-23, version 5.1.2*

Way too much effort to manage an active list.

For each address that you want to use in this app you have to either enter the data in to this app or import it manually one at a time from your contacts list.

If my iOS contacts is my source of truth, then that should be the only place that I add the data.

### 3/5 — Usually works well

*2021-11-28, version 5.1.1*

I love this app and use it all year long for sending snail mail. Easy to use with few issues, but since the most recent update “to fix crashes” I can’t even open it, my screen goes black and crashes... ironic! Hoping I haven’t lost all of my addresses?!

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2020-12-09, version 5.0.3*

This app is amazing!  So easy to use with great results. I imported all the addresses from my Christmas Card Group in my iPhone contacts. Then I added a candy cane, made the font cursive and colored green. Next I printed over 100 address labels on Avery labels. All from my phone!

### 4/5 — Great little app

*2020-12-06, version 5.0.3*

It works well but is surprisingly heavy on battery use. Don’t be put off by that though.

### 5/5 — Great app for keeping track of Christmas cards

*2019-12-25, version 4.0.7*

I used to keep track of Christmas cards sent and received in a spreadsheet but no more. This app is terrific, especially to print labels. So easy! The only “issue” I had was user error (hiding recipients when printing, and forgetting to SAVE after each entry.) Thank you for creating this app!

### 5/5 — BEST app!

*2019-12-23, version 4.0.7*

This app is FANTASTIC!  You can even change the font on the labels. 

It’s easy, does what it’s supposed to and can’t wait for future updates for gifts!

Bravo on this!

### 5/5 — Takes the drudge out of Xmas Card writing

*2019-12-22, version 4.0.7*

What a fantastic little app. I wish I’d found this years ago - the annual misery of looking for addresses, remembering who sent us cards and then the grind of writing out all those addresses..... Aaarrgghh. This app is a godsend. And FREE !! I’m so pleased with it I paid the £1.99 to have the adverts removed. Not that they were bothering me, I just wanted something to go back to the developer. WONDERFUL APP !!!!

### 5/5 — Christmas list

*2019-12-17, version 4.0.7*

Just started using it and it seems to meet all my needs.

### 5/5 — Great app, just what I was looking for

*2019-12-17, version 4.0.7*

This is a great app. Very easy to import addresses and track who you’ve sent cards to if you’re not one of those people that can sit down and do it all at once. I love that it’s linked to my contact list and will automatically update when I update in my phone contacts. I haven’t tried  printing labels with it yet as I need to pick up ink, but even doing it by hand has saved so much time. Planning on paying for this app even though the ads don’t really bother me as I’m happy to support a developer that’s put so much time into this. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Best Christmas Card List App

*2019-12-11, version 4.0.7*

I LOVE this app. I’ve been using this card list app for 3 years. It’s extremely easy to use & helps keep you organized. I can keep track of who I’ve sent cards to & who has or hasn’t sent me 1 & you can look back at following years. This TRULY IS THE Best Christmas Card List App out there. If I could give it 20 Stars 🌟 I ABSOLUTELY would.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — My review

*2026-02-06, version 5.3.2*

I tried this over and over and it just does not carry the complete list of addresses to make address labels.  It was easy to put addresses in. I put in 8 addresses and only 4 of them would come up to make the labels. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — So close but no print

*2023-12-12, version 5.2.0*

This app does everything I wanted to do EXCEPT print labels. The templates do not match up with the Avery form templates and therefore it is basically useless to try and print labels.

### 1/5 — Everything disappears

*2022-01-02, version 5.1.2*

Seems like a great app but then nothing works right. I loaded all of my addresses in and after I closed out the app and went back in they were gone. It was also glitching on who sent cards and who I sent cards too. Seemed like a great app that I was excited about but I guess not.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work on iPad or iPhone

*2020-12-16, version 5.0.4*

I tried to use this several times, with no luck. It did import correctly from my contact list. I made some changes to include spouse names or children’s names, and saved the changes. None of the saved changes persisted. On the iPad, the list appears in the Overview mode, but no entries appear at all in the address mode. On the iPhone, both views are populated, but the changes I made disappeared overnight. Also, when working with it to enter data, it bogged down to the point that it was typing one letter per about 5 seconds. I tried making changes in my contact list and then updating from the contact list in the app, but that didn’t work for the name field, only for the address fields. Oddly, out of about 20 or 30 name field changes, one persisted. Since I was signed into the same account on the iPhone and the iPad, all the views should have matched, but they didn’t. I tried quitting the app, signing out and signing back in on both devices, but no luck getting both devices to sync up. Also, when I did save changes in the address view, about 5 Save screens would pop up one after the other and I would have to click save on all of them in turn. (At a rate of about 3 seconds per click) I gave up today after seeing all the changes I made yesterday on the iPhone were gone (except that one) and the addresses view was still blank and no changes saved on the iPad. Pretty design, though. That’s your one star.

### 1/5 — Best App Ever!

*2019-12-17, version 4.0.7*

This is easily the best app I’ve ever gotten. Easy to use, and my Christmas card list is finally organized. I printed out the address labels with one of the graphics provided. Also multiple choices for fonts, colors and printouts. Love!!!

### 1/5 — Lost my info

*2019-12-16, version 4.0.7*

I used this app in 2018. I could not log in in 2019. It did not recognize my email address.

### 1/5 — Won’t print labels

*2019-12-12, version 4.0.7*

Why won’t my labels print?  I selected list I wanted to print, clicked on labels, pressed print and nothing happened.

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2019-03-22, version 3.2.7*

This app looked promising, so I downloaded it. When I tried too
open it, I was asked to set up an account. The app would not take my email address or password. In exasperation I deleted the app. It should be removed from the App Store, until the bugs have been fixed.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2016-12-24, version 1.1.3*

Easy on the eyes and I like that you can track history of sent/received. But need to be able to access phone contacts to avoid typing in addresses. Seems basic, but lacks this. Also need to be able to email list to myself to print from my laptop since I don't have a wireless printer. Would be nice if you could change fonts and add a symbol to labels. Also the return address does not store, you have to type it back in every time.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2016-12-19, version 1.1.3*

This looked promising but I was not able to try it out due to bugs in the mechanism for creating an account account. Frustrating.

### 5/5 — What I Needed

*2025-12-02, version 5.3.2*

I was looking for a simple app to track my Christmas card list and this is it. Imported all my contacts and they show up sorted just like I want them - although I did have to change from the default in the settings, no biggie. I like the custom checkmark feature a lot. I used it to make myself a checkbox for cards I’ve prepared but not yet sent. It would be nice that column could appear on the overview page so I could see progress at a glance, but it works as is and that’s all that matters. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2025-11-29, version 5.3.2*

I have been using this Christmas card list for years. It’s easy to use. You can print labels as well as see who received cards in the past. A very user friendly app!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2024-12-19, version 5.3.2*

Sorted, thanks again for your help.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-11-29, version 5.3.2*

We have used this app for so many years I do not remember when we originally downloaded it. The features are great and useful. I run it on my iPad with no issues.

### 5/5 — What a great program

*2024-02-24, version 5.2.0*

I had been maintaining addresses in Contacts and an Access database for Christmas cards, which requires adding/updating two lists.  With this program I can add/update Contact list then easily link new contacts or update link for changed addresses in Christmas Card List.  Tracking who I received cards from is a great feature.  Creating various types allows me to print labels in groups for easy distribution.  Can’t praise this program enough!

### 5/5 — Works Beautifully

*2023-12-14, version 5.2.0*

Very convenient and works great. I have recommended this to several friends and family and they Love it! Works great on all platforms even IPads!

### 5/5 — My favorite app of all time!

*2022-12-21, version 5.1.2*

This is going to be a real timesaver during Christmas from now on… It keeps track of cards you sent out and cards received by year. it lets you sort according to any category such as family ,work, church, friends etc. when I went to print, I thought wouldn’t it be neat to have an icon next to the address- sure enough they have really cute Christmas icons to put next on the label. It was so easy to use and on top of it all the snowflakes in the background made it fun to return to. Well thought out!

### 5/5 — BEST APP!!!

*2022-12-16, version 5.1.2*

This makes sending cards soooo easy! I couldn’t love it more! You can link addresses directly from your contacts. I love that you can print labels and can even select which row and column to start printing in so you don’t have to waste labels. It couldn’t be any easier. Don’t hesitate, just download it!

### 5/5 — This app is a holiday game-changer

*2022-12-14, version 5.1.2*

What an amazing app!! This saves so much time and hassle with the Christmas card process. It’s easy to add addresses from Contacts, and you can add via spreadsheet import as well… you can export to a spreadsheet… In just a few taps you can print out all your card labels, as well as return address labels, and even customize the fonts / colors / clip art. It appears that templates for all major label manufacturers are built in, so it is really almost effortless. 
I VERY rarely take the time to rate and review apps, but this one in particular is so much more useful and efficiency-enhancing than most of the paid apps I’ve used for anything. THANK YOU!!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-12-13, version 5.1.2*

First year using this and I’m recommending it to everyone! Now that I’ve imported all my contacts from my iPhone, sending Christmas cards every year will be a BREEZE thanks to the label printing feature! THANK YOU!
