COULD be the best...not quite – Gifted - Gift List Manager Review

This app has so much potential, but for it's one I begrudgingly use every year (several years running now...if at all) through a love/hate relationship. Navigating and inputting data is tedious--too much toggling back and forth between screens. Main menu controls should be accessible from everywhere with a master menu bar across the bottom or something. The biggest thing...PLEASE add an import widget feature for gift entry!!! Filling in all the details, especially with all the tedious toggling, is a pain and too time consuming. I need a widget and/or to be able to put in a web address and it fetch the data and picture. This is especially a pain when I'm shopping from my phone, which I often do. Then I'm toggling back and forth within the app because of how entry is set up here AND toggling in and out of the app to a website to copy and paste/remember as much data in one pass as I can, and screen shot a picture of the item, further cluttering my camera roll. I really like how information is presented and the features this app covers, especially the gift closet feature. None of the gift manager apps seem to get it just right. Other issues: lacks syncing between devices; lack of static budget (I want the app to keep what I set for each person from year to year...other apps do). Other minor complaints...I find the green and blue obnoxious, and the graphics are lagging behind other apps. How about a slick black and gold that can be used year round (which the app thankfully supports!!!) that doesn't look like a 4 year old's birthday?? So this app does more organizationally with greater control, but it just...needs to be done better, cleaner, more efficiently. More updates please...not just bugs...real improvements. Some years I still resort to pencil and paper. I like what this app does and how it manages but it's so tedious to use, it takes more time than it saves me. I'm sure it wouldn't if I had fewer events and people to buy for BUT then I really wouldn't have the need for an app to manage in the first place.
