I love the appp From regards Aysha sent from my iPad ### 5/5 — Geburtstage und oder babyshower *2026-03-13* Ich empfehle es immer wieder jedem in meinem umkreis weiter. Ich schreibe sogut wie nie eine rezension. Aber der, der das erfunden hat, riesen lob! Es ist ein lebensretter. Offt wird man gefragt „ja was wünscht denn sich jetzt dein kind zum geburtstag, oder was möchtest du zum babyshower geschenkt bekommen, was benötigst du noch?“ die antwort ist simple. Einfach link abschicken und gut ist. Denn da ist jede preisklasse mit drinne ob etwas für 5€ oder etwas für 100€ jeder kann es selbst entscheiden! Kann ich vom herzen immer wieder weiter empfehlen!!! 🫶🏼 ### 5/5 — Why it is the best app ever *2026-02-08, version 2.0.0* It’s so fun and useful when you’re buying presents ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-02-08, version 2.0.0* I love the name the design, the way it works, it’s so easy for my family who aren’t as good at tech and keep all my wishes in one place helping me stay organised! I ish there was an area of wishes that we could rage or put down for later! ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2026-02-05, version 2.0.0* This has been transformative for the entire family - lists are easily kept up to date and have made birthdays and Christmas so much more fun and straightforward ### 5/5 — Thank you Wishbob!!! *2026-01-25* This is a good way to give people gift ideas! ### 5/5 — Besser als erwartet *2026-01-20* Einfach, übersichtlich, schnell einzurichten. Top! Genau das was ich brauchte! ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-01-11, version 2.0.0* Good job ### 5/5 — Superbe appli *2026-01-11, version 2.0.0* J’ai adoré mon expérience avec cette application. Pour en avoir utilisé plusieurs, je trouve que celle-ci est la plus simple d’utilisation et le visuel est très jolis également. Je recommande. En plus c’est gratuit! ### 5/5 — Great app for a present list *2026-01-04, version 2.0.0* This app is perfect to create your birthday present list or Christmas list. All you have to do is paste a URL and it will name the product and list the pricing for you! Such a time saver and super useful for my family and friends to be able to tick things off the list without me seeing. Love it. Only issue is I can only list one list at a time. Would love to be able to duplicate and edit an old list into a new one. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2025-12-22, version 2.0.0* We use this for every occasion, it is so useful. Would be good if there was a section for gifts you’ve marked as purchased on other people’s wish lists, as it’s easy to lose track. ### 5/5 — Its amazing *2025-12-22, version 2.0.0* I Love Wishbob ### 5/5 — Schnell und einfach *2025-12-21* Einfache Handhabung und schnell zu erstellen. Leider klappt es nicht immer, dass der Preis und das Bild von dem Produkt automatisch übernommen wird und daher muss man die Daten nochmal manuell eingeben. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2025-12-19, version 2.0.0* It’s amazing I recommend! ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2025-12-18, version 2.0.0* Excelente justo lo que necesitaba ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — These reviews are bots… *2025-11-29* This website is malware, simply. Dont download. So basically when u sent your wishlist wanna know what this app does? When clicking the links in your wishlist the app redirects you to like 5 malware sites, flashing links down at the bottom. And 2 seconds in “woah, ur at ur designated website” yeah, you get to the website. But afterwards your phone starts running slower than a computer from the 1800s. (Yes, I know they don’t exist…) ### 1/5 — Not Happy *2023-12-01, version 1.3.1* Wanted to only use this on the browser, but for some reason every time I tried to ‘create a new wish list’ it FORCED me to use the app. Why the hell does every website want us to use apps, I want to use the bloody browser. If I wanted to use the app, I’d have purposely downloaded it. Don’t force your users to have to use your app. It’s unprofessional. ### 2/5 — Frustrating app *2025-12-19, version 2.0.0* Every time I attempt to click on the link for my daughters Wishbob, I get sent to my own Wishbob and not theirs. It’s very frustrating ### 2/5 — Not what it should be *2024-09-11* Unable to share to your app. Every time I attempt to share a link it goes to the website and I get this message: "An error has occurred. Your wish could not be added to your wish list. Please log in to your wish list in admin mode. You will find the link in the e-mail you got when you created your wish list." ### 2/5 — Shipping *2024-02-24, version 1.3.1* Should have option to ship directly to the recipient and also to keep recipient’s address private. ### 3/5 — Good idea *2025-12-30, version 2.0.0* Good idea could use a couple of little tweaks ### 3/5 — Good but *2024-08-09, version 2.0.0* The wish list is good and simple use however there is no option for cash contributions that I can see or for followers to post items straight to you ### 3/5 — Good idea *2023-12-01, version 1.3.1* Good idea could use a couple of little tweaks ### 4/5 — Tricky to use *2026-06-13, version 2.0.0* I like the idea, but I found it tricky to use being a non- tech person. ### 4/5 — Simple to use *2026-05-05, version 2.0.0* Perfect way to let your family and friends know which gifts you’d like for any occasion. Simple to use. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Literally only wrote five stars to get on the page *2026-08-31* OK, so so the app is all cute and it’s like I bet it’s really good app but the one thing is there is false advertising in it. They say that you don’t need to login you don’t need to make an account you don’t need to do any of that but guess what you do literally after it takes you to the website you can only make a wish list if you create an account and add your email and I bet that is a good for good reasons but I’m just like upset right now cause like it’s like false advertising and like I was literally looking for an app that didn’t have me add my email cause I’m not comfortable with it but guess what that’s not what happened so it was totally false advertising. They literally said that they would like not make you like add anything not make you login and I’m not sure if it’s just like like I’m confused but like if I am like, please tell me because like is it not like what it says and I’m like totally fine with writing my email, but I’m just mad cause it’s like false and I do not like that I bet it’s a really good app. I am not saying that they do anything wrong with this app but the one thing is I can’t figure out that it is a really good app because first of all, I’m not gonna be able to like it’s not like some things where you like you can use it but like if you get premium, then you can still use it but you have the option to get premium. It’s no you just have to, and I don’t like that. My true rating right now would be like three stars all because of the false advertising and that there isn’t an option not to put your email in there because like sure it’ll help but like no. ### 5/5 — I love Wishbob *2026-08-24* I love Wishbob The only bad thing is I kept on trying to look up a wig that I want and it it just wouldn’t pop up other than that. I love this app. Love it. ### 5/5 — Hilfreich *2026-08-14* Unkompliziert, übersichtlich ### 5/5 — Praktisch, einfach und liebevoll gestaltet *2026-07-06* Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit Wishbob. Die Erstellung und Nutzung der Wunschliste war einfach und übersichtlich, sodass Freunde und Familie schnell sehen konnten, was wir uns wünschen. Besonders schön finde ich, dass man alles an einem Ort sammeln und unkompliziert teilen kann. Eine tolle Möglichkeit, Wünsche für besondere Anlässe festzuhalten und den Überblick zu behalten. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2026-06-15, version 2.0.0* Amazing app, family find it so helpful for ideas and to know what he needs and I don’t forget what’s already been brought. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-05-26, version 2.0.0* This app has been so helpful when asking for gifts for my daughter’s baby shower. So easy to set up and use ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2026-05-15, version 2.0.0* Does what I needed it to do. Multiple websites into one wishlist, perfect. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-18, version 2.0.0* Really useful and good for organising ### 5/5 — Great appp *2026-04-15, version 2.0.0* Does it jobbb perfectly ### 5/5 — Mega praktisch! *2026-03-26* Diese App ist unfassbar praktisch. Man fügt seine Wünsche hinzu & teilt den QR Code. Bei uns kommt er direkt mit auf die Einladung, sodass das ständige Nachfragen „was wünscht sich dein Kind denn?“ somit auch erledigt. Die Gäste können entweder über die Website oder über die App die Wunschliste einsehen & auf den jeweiligen Wunsch gehen und kommen direkt auf Partnerseiten wie Amazon, OTTO & co. Man kann aber auch lokal vor Ort das Geschenk kaufen & nur eine Übersicht der Wünsche in der App haben. Per Klick wird dann der Wunsch als „erfüllt“ markiert, sodass andere Gäste oder Familienmitglieder wissen, was bereits gekauft wurde. Total genial. Kann ich nur empfehlen! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
