Dream Now
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dream Now is a private wishlist for the people who love you. Write down what you would love, with your sizes and little preferences, and share it only with your partner, your family and your friends. They quietly reserve and give, and the surprise stays a surprise: a reserved wish dims for everyone else, and you never see who took what. HOW IT WORKS • Add a wish: paste a link from any shop, or share the page straight from Safari, and the picture, price and name come along. Or just write it. • Share your code: your people enter it once, or tap the link you send them. No public profiles, no searching. • They reserve, they give: no two people buy the same thing. • Say thank you in the app. Fulfilled wishes move to your memories. FOR COUPLES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS • See each other's lists, sizes and favourites. • Occasions with reminders at a sensible hour: birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas. • Little loves: one small thing to do for your partner today. • Points for every wish made true, and the Mystery bet: five questions about you, one wish at stake. • A home screen widget that changes with the day. DREAM NOW PLUS Free stays free: up to 10 open wishes, unlimited people, reserving, thank-yous and points. Plus adds: • Unlimited wishes • The gift finder: three ideas that match their sizes, tastes and what they already have • Guess the wish and a party quiz your guests join from their phones • The rewards shop and streaks that double your points • Your colours for the whole app, and My stores on your profile • A family plan for up to six people Plus: CHF 3.90 a month with 7 days free, or CHF 29 a year (CHF 49 for the family plan) with the first month free; prices vary by country. Founding member: one payment of CHF 20 for Plus forever, only for the first 100 people. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Nothing on Dream Now is public. Every person who sees your list got there with your code, and you can remove them at any time. Hide any wish from any person. Your address book never leaves your phone. Delete everything yourself, from inside the app. In English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian.
