Can’t Properly Share A Gift with Multiple People

jvida

Other apps (even free ones) allow you to take a gift and split the cost between multiple people with one click and no manual calculations. This app doesn’t. Major bummer.

Amazing App!

Very easy to use, organizes everything just as you need it to be. Add a person set a budget and go shopping. If you know what you want to buy each person, put on the list. If you don’t, add it as you go. I found adding items is quick. To Do is the best feature. It let’s you see what’s left to purchase by person and by store. This was a BIG BIG time saver because I knew exactly what I needed to buy at each individual store. A list of chain stores are provided to choose from, but you can easily add your own. Budget feature is extremely nice. I could see what was spent on each person and the total for everyone. The App works off line independent of the cloud. I can’t find anything negative to say and would recommend the developer modify this one to work for birthdays, weddings and other holidays throughout the year. Tom, Fredericksburg, Va.

Love this app!!!

Has organized my gift giving

Always Doubtful

I have been using this app for 4 years now and it has been such a game changer. I can easily set budget for each person, track purchases and stay on budget. It also helps with keeping track of gifts I’ve wrapped so there’s no guessing game and I know my progress. One of my favorite features is the Archived gifts. I can look back to make sure I don’t give the same gift or to give me ideas on what to give someone else. Would definitely recommend the app.

Great replacement for app I used to use

I was heartbroken when the developers of the app I had been using for years discontinued the product, so I was on the hunt for a new (to me) gift list app to replace it. I tried a few in the App Store, but they weren’t as robust as I wanted, until I tried this one. Among a lot of other helpful features, I really appreciate the ability to add pictures to each gift. With three girls to buy for, it’s not always easy to remember which girl wanted which pair of leggings. The picture makes all the difference! I also LOVE the ability to select recipients for gifts that I’m giving to more than one person, so I don’t have to enter the same info more than once. Being able to attach a picture to each person is a nice feature too. That said, a few features I’d like to see: 1) syncing to iCloud so I can view the list on multiple devices and 2) having the option to rename the To do, Purchased, Wrapped, Shipped, Received labels. I order most of my gifts online and would like to be able to check them off when I get them in the mail. (Being able to enter a tracking number would put this app over the top, but that’s probably too much to ask!) Also, I don’t ship any gifts (to the recipients), so I don’t need the Shipping option. For me, the perfect list would be “Idea, Purchased, Received, Wrapped, Given” it doesn’t really matter what they’re called, as long as you can customize them. Lastly, I’d love to be able to add birthday gift ideas. I know I can just create a new group for birthday gifts, but it would be nice to be able to add the date and have it count down how many shopping days are left, like it does for Christmas. That would make it easier to remember when their birthday is too! The addition of one or two of these features would easily change my rating to 5 stars. UPDATE: I. LOVE. THIS. APP. This is my second year using this app, and I love it even more, so I’m changing my rating to 5 stars. Something I didn’t touch on last year is the ability to look at archived gifts for each person, so you can see what you’ve bought them in years past. Would be cool if you could do that for the different stores too (see what you’ve bought from that store in previous years). As for the labels (To do, Purchased, etc.) it’s not as big of a deal as I thought it was last year. I guess it’s all in what you get used to, right? Although they’re a little out of order for me, I can still use them to track which items I’ve ordered (Purchased), which online orders have shipped, which ones I’ve gotten (Received) and which ones still need to be wrapped. It’s a great way to keep track of everything. I’d still love to be able to sync it through the cloud, and keep track of birthday gifts, but one other wish list item is to be able to export the info. I wish I had some way to access the years of gifts I kept track of on the app I used to use, but once they stopped updating it, the app quit working and I lost all the info with no way to get it back. Being able to export each year’s info would prevent that from happening again.

Excellent, helpful app!!

As I was finishing the wrapping this Christmas, I was struck by the ease and organization of this app. I’ve been using it for years. I am so grateful it exists! Thank you!!!

Fantastic app

I had been using another app for years but it appears its developers have gone to ground, so of course I’m worried that that app won’t function with iOS updates. Then I found THIS one and I couldn’t be happier. I used it all this season and it has everything I had before and more. I’ve tried at least a dozen “replacement” apps and NONE of them work as well as this. Clean interface, easy navigation, whimsical themes. The developers really got all the details right. I’ve adapted one “recipient” to be a cards list, but that would be a nice addition if it wouldn’t clutter things up too much. I love the archive function—it’s much better than my other app and even allows “reversal” of individual archived gifts. I really can’t say a bad thing about this app at all. I’m a convert!!! ?

Fabulous Christmas helper!

I have used this app for 3 years - easily archived gift history annually. Keeps me ahead of the madness as I make purchases in November and December and can keep it all straight. This year I gave to 38 people, in 9 groups. So worth it!

Very Helpful

I have used this app for several years. I tried several alternate Christmas gift apps, but ran back to this one. Love the grouping, the running budget totals and ease of use. I also like the ability to archive the whole years gifts to avoid repetition gifts.
