Giftster - Wish List Registry for Android
I've been wanting an app like this for surprise gifts for friends and family. So happy to finally have this app. Thanks!! Only wishing that searching and adding members is not as easy
I've been using the website for over a year and the app these past few months. I love them both! Great tool for both sides of my family so we don't double up on gifts. My only request is an option to shift gift ideas from one list to another to better organize. Thanks for a great app!
Only question - why can't i see which items were purchased from my list?
Loved the App
So far the app send to work well. Would be great if you could scan barcodes to add details. I've ashtray head multiple situations when I thought that would be nice!
Giftster has great ideas here but it is way too buggy. You can't even add people to your groups on the mobile app, it crashes each time you try. Adding items on the app is also awful. I tried adding on the site and adding each single item by pasting the url every time is a waste of time. Maybe creating a button like amazon has might be better. Uninstalled because why have something occupying space that I can't even use. Update Oct 25, 2016: Apparently Giftster takes high offense on criticism. STOP SPAMMING me with emails asking me to elaborate on what didn't work. My review already tells you what didn't work. Your app is not good right now, it needs a lot of improvements, and you spamming me about my review will not change that. Everyone in my family that added the app had issues with it, that can't be a coincidence and it can't be that I'm just being a big bad wolf. Stop emailing me and bothering me with your passive aggressive messages. Now I won't use your app on principle. You people have awful business practices, I am allowed to not like your app and I am allowed to give it a bad review if it didn't work for me.
The idea is brilliant. I think some kinks are still being worked out but of all the gift list apps so far this is the best one. Sharing lists is great, putting in a link and having it automatically add info is great. Very easy to use
Great idea! Only thing that would make it better is if we could scan the barcode of an item to add it. So, if I see a toy at the store for my son I could just scan the barcode to add it to his list.
Fantastic idea. Sometimes it actually works smoothly, more often not. Entered text ends up scrambled or duplicated, or deleted. Again, love the idea but this app causes frustration almost every time I use it. If you're considering it, look elsewhere until they get all the kinks worked out.
The app is not letting me type the gift name. It types on letter then go for another it deletes it. I do enjoy this app just not at the moment. Please can someone help me!
Just downloaded and running into the same issues that some have had since January 2016 - buggy keying. Using Droid Turbo 2
Whenever I try to enter text, it scrambles whatever entered. PLEASE FIX, ASAP!!!
It works great from computer but seems hard to navigate and fetch items in on app. Also, would be awesome if you could add to registry by scanning barcode of items.
Looks good!
This app provides the best of all necessary areas to do with wish lists. Major platform support PC, Android iPhone, etc. Ability to pull in wish items from websites. Would be better with an Amazon wish list download ker
Used the website and started a list. Later got the app and started to add an item. It crashed saying file not found. Now anytime i try to use the app it instantly crashes with the same error
App serves a great purpose. However, surely I can't be the only one having a typing issue. Every word I try to type (Galaxy S6) the app adds a lower case "L" to the end of it. Then when I try to get rid of it, the cursor automatically goes to the end of whatever item I am typing. Extremely annoying and I will, unfortunately, not being using the app because of it.
This app is awesome. Can't lie. But it's very buggy. Photos won't upload sometimes, at all. Searching photos on internet is sketchy. And a few other bugs. But the most annoying thing in the world is how the app keeps inserting letters (usually several) each time I type on a word! I've never seen an app do this before but it's annoying as heck! I think most people would have just stopped using the app, it's so god-awful annoying. But I pressed on and worked around it, deleting the extra letters every time.
The group and share features are great for family lists. Also love the search for and add a photo ability. There are some bugs when trying to enter info. The app adds too many or repetitive characters and clears the field instead of adding suggested word from device. Would also like to be able to invite people who are not members with and email or social media message to view my lists.
I'm not certain, but it feels like just a web view of the mobile version of the site. I would much rather a native app that is fluid and fast.
Giftster is great, but this app is unstable on my GS5 and on my wife's LG2. I've heard of others with similar issues. It usually loads to a white screen and stalls.
Have used it for a couple weeks and now it won't open says there is an application error. Glad my lists are all on it so I can't access them!
Using it as my wedding registry and adding items from my other registries!
I loved this app until the update. Now there are always errors and it will automatically close. Way to ruin it...
Keeps saying file or directory not found. Uninstalled & reinstalled, shows names, lists, click on an item to edit & the error pops up over and over. Enjoyed app while it worked.
The app keeps on crashing. A message saying "The file or directory cannot be found". Im using a samsung note 4. Installed and uninstalled 4 times already, still doesnt work.
I found it useful but I would like to be able to add something to someone's list that I think they would like. I also do not want them to see it. Is this on the app and I just cannot find it. This will help me keep track of all things I get for someone not just things they want.
A really practical tool that our family love to use, especially at Christmas. It's convenient, quick to use and self explanatory. For me it takes the 'pain' out of Christmas.
I would like to see a customizable category feature you can sort by. (ie books, movies, clothes etc.). And a sort by price feature.
Typing issues and lag. Not fluid at all. On gs5.
It started well but crashes when I try to add my preferences
"Application file error. File or directory can not be found" App will not open today.
Why not make a real app for Android?
It was working fine until now. It keeps saying "the file or directory could not be found" when try to enter the app. Fix it please.
After the last update it randomly gives me an error when I open it even after reinstalling it. (The file or directory could not be found).
Very basic. DO NOT allow access to contacts or it takes forever to use.
It's been useful
I can't praise the stability and functionality of this app and website enough. Super easy to use and just makes shopping for others SOOOO much easier than just grabbing a thoughtless or last second panic giftcard purchase. Thank you giftster for making gift giving, gift registries, and wishlist a less stressful and anxiety filled experience
I used to use a board on pinterest to communicate what I wished for but the trouble with that is you have coordinate with others to know if someone already got something. Giftster solves that problem!! Love it just need to make it easier to post to the wish list from your phone now. Its a breeze from your computer..also would be nice if it "fetched" the image immediately when posting the first time. ----update maybe you should merge this service with pinterest somehow.. I can't get my family to switch over

[ANOTHER QUESTION] How to not reveal name of gift purchaser/reserver on website? App doesn't allow this but desktop site allows this feature when looking at other people's gift [/QUESTION] Love the app. First season using it. URL auto fill is a magical thing.
