What's New in The Christmas List App

Bug fixes and improvements for sign-in and the My List, Shopping List, and Settings screens. Google sign-in is more reliable, and signing up then logging in with the same password works as expected.

Can’t paste a link ever

This app changed for the worse. I have it since 2020. It was great to manage gifts for my whole family, but the link paste simply does not work! You need to fix it

Want to love it

Logging in is impossible with update. Forgot password goes nowhere.

Garbage now

This app used to be great but they change the interface and definitely de-funded it. Doesn’t work on a web browser, only mobile app. And this year right around Christmas it stops working altogether with network errors and issues logging on.

App changed

Don’t like the changes. We used to have the ability to enter free text items but now you have to use a URL or search internet lost ability to enter free text for items.

What happened?

This was a pretty good app. Before, the only complaint I had was that none of the items carried over from one year to the next. Now there are several problems. Yes, the previous year’s stuff is archived, but you can’t delete anything from the archive. Before, you could just write a suggestion, like, “slippers”, or “games”, etc. Now, the only thing it allows is URLs from websites. How am I supposed to put something from Etsy on there?

FAQ

Can I create a list for another family member using The Christmas List App?

Yes, absolutely! The Christmas List App allows you to create lists for children or other family members who may not be able to set one up themselves. This feature is designed to help coordinate gifts for everyone in the family.

Will others see the items I claim on their Christmas List App list?

No, the app takes precautions to maintain the surprise. Items that are 'claimed' or 'reserved' on a gift list will not be visible to the recipient, ensuring a surprise on Christmas morning.

Can I add items to a list that I didn't create in The Christmas List App?

Yes, you can add gift ideas to lists created by others, either for them to claim or even for yourself to claim later. The recipient of the list will not see these additions until they are revealed.

Does The Christmas List App help me track my spending budget?

Yes, the app allows you to set a budget per person. You can mark items as 'bought' and enter the price paid, with the tracker showing you how much budget remains.

When is the best time to create my Christmas List App list?

It's recommended to create your list anytime, and the sooner the better. Adding gift ideas as you think of them or see them in stores ensures you don't forget and allows others to start shopping early.

How can I get help if I have issues with The Christmas List App?

The app offers customer support through chat on their website and via email at info@christmaslistapp.com. The development team aims to respond promptly to user questions and concerns.

Is The Christmas List App available on multiple devices?

Yes, the app provides a web application accessible from any device, anywhere. This means you can easily manage your lists whether you are on your phone, tablet, or computer.

What are the main pros and cons of The Christmas List App based on user reviews?

Users appreciate its convenience for sharing lists and avoiding duplicate gifts, as well as easy item addition. However, some reviews mention buggy performance, login issues, and difficulties managing lists on the web version.
