My Christmas List App Reviews

I just purchased this app and am finding it useful but learn from my experience. There is no way to switch from requiring a password to not requiring a password. This would be a great addition as well as the ability to email your list to yourself so you could save it for future reference. This way you don’t keep buying the same gifts over and over for the same person. Overall I think this app was not thought out and rushed to market for Christmas. I should have searched out the other apps and spent the extra dollar for something more thought out. c- rating.

I agree. It would also be great to be able to add gifts that have been purchased but not assigned to any specific person yet, and choose the recipient later. UPDATE: There have been updates that have improved this app now, and it is becoming more useful, so Ive amended my rating to 4-stars. I have a couple of suggestions to further improve this app: 1. Being able to take a picture and attach it to a gift would be helpful. 2. Also, after the event date (say, Christmas) is over, it would be great for those gift items to move into a "Gift History" section, that you can refer to on later occasions to avoid repeating gifts. 3. Being able to choose which event the gift is for from a list of events (Christmas 2008, Christmas 2009, Birthday, Anniversary, etc.) 4. Being able to select "Needed" or "Purchased" is great. Add another status specification for "Wrapped" and "Mailed" would be a big improvement. 5. Add a "Where its hidden" field Keep up the good work!

Wow...Awesome customer service....we noticed a small flaw that the app briefly showed the last open page allowing prying eyes to see for a brief moment their gift list before going to the password page. After emailing support, we received a reply the next day from Kenny with a promise to repair this as soon as possible. Well with the latest update there is no way little eyes can get a glimpse of their Christmas list. Nice work...5 Stars for customer service. Merry Christmas!!!

Its nice to have it share between my devices as I add stuff to my lists!! Keeps me organized!

This is a great easy to use app! It made my Christmas shopping much easier last year and I look forward to using it again this year!

Dont Buy It!!! Not functional when you cant delete only 1 name at a time when theres other names added. System deletes all of list; also wont allow me to enter more than one gift item even though it shows a lined page below to add to. You can get into it even though it shows you may be able to. Keyboard kicks me out all of the time. Too many bugs!!!

This application has a lot of potential. I agree with the reviews above about getting sub catagories. Also, I think a password protection is a must! I let all of my closest friends and family play with my iPhone, I dont want to have to worry about thembrunning into their Christmas gift list on my phone. Looking forward to seeing the updates for this. I would 5 star recommend with the right changes.

This is a great application, I like the updates, the password update especially! I would like to see a budget option and be able to watch that balance shrink, as you buy and add things. The other change would be to add items easier, to each person instead of retyping the name, but the app works as needed now!

I like and use this app and it works well. There are a couple things that could be a bit more intuitive. Essential is a new year reset. As it is now, you have to delete each gift, one at a time and that eventually deletes the person. It would be helpful to retain the names.

This is a good app but I forgot my password and now I cant use it. It would be nice to answer a question to get your password.

I love this app. It is very useful. Love the passcode feuture 

After reviewing about 12 Christmas gift apps, I liked a lot of things about this one. This one has many sorting options, almost too many. I thought it would be nice if the lists could be integrated a bit more. I liked that it had a total budget list, but one suggestion would be to give the amount budgeted for an individual out of the total, and show the amount remaining. The most important change that Id like to see, would be a check-off list by both people and stores, not just gifts. Another important improvement would be to list gift amounts without deducting from the total until youre ready, allowing the capability to plan a budget. Finally, it would be nice to provide an email capability and add cents to the amounts. I really like that there are so many ways to organize your information, and the password & editing capabilities.To give this app 5 stars, it would be nice if some of these changes could be made before Christmas. Thanks for the app!

So many features! Password protected, separate lists, running totals, just awesome! My 2nd year using it! Great buy for the money!!

Was cool at first. Password protection doesnt work. I added people to the list but it wont let me add multiple gifts to one person. It stays blank. Then whats the point of a list? Most people get more than one gift.

I was having a problem with the password not working.. I contacted the developer and he said that with the iphone4 it is storing the password, so the app needs to be closed (by double clicking the home button, to get the open apps shaking and then closing the open Christmas app) I hope I explained it ok! Good luck!

I was loving it but all of a sudden it stopped counting down the days to Christmas and isnt letting me add or edit any of my gifts.

It was super cool until it stopped adding gifts and people. I cant edit anything or add anything. It has great potential but its gotta work first. I only used it 5 minutes before it pooped out.

I loved this app yesterday for Black Friday shopping, but this morning it just quit working. It wont let me add gifts or edit prices. Boo.

This app doesnt have what I thought it had and apparently doesnt like punctuation marks. Everytime Id add an apostrophe, the app would crash. Very disappointed 

Waste of time and money. In the middle of entering the info for a gift, it sends you back to the iPhone home page. After 10 minutes of using the app, I deem it too unreliable. Im grabbing my notebook and a pen.
