The easy and fun way to do your name drawings for gift exchanges. Participants may be selected from contacts or entered manually. After the drawing is completed the app will notify the participants of their names by e-mail. Gift Exchange Lite allows up to seven participants to be chosen from the device contacts or entered manually. Grouping feature allows exclusions of spouses or group members from drawing a name in the same group. Memory of previous drawing prevents people from drawing the same name as the previous drawing. Each participant may be designated as "Gives and receives a gift in shared exchange", "Gives and receives in shared exchange, also may give to receive only participant(s)", "Does not receive gift, may give to receive only participant(s)", or "Does not give gift, receive only. For example, child". The results can be printed to an Airprint printer for each participant without email, or who want a printed copy. History display shows the name drawn and gift given for each person for previous drawings. Compatible with PC Gift Exchange files. You may email your *.gx files from PC to yourself and open on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Multiple exchanges may be created and saved. For example, an exchange file can be used for your direct family. A separate file may be used for an exchange for your spouse’s family.
