Gift List Manager for Android
Very handy to keep track of Christmas gifts. It's a bit awkward to use and too easy to have to start over if you hit the wrong thing and miss a screen, but it's a fine app for the price.
While I like things such as the password lock and the ability to make multiple events and separate people into groups (and subgroups), there are some things about this app that are frustrating. One is the fact that if I tap "ordered" it automatically fills in the "purchased" box and strikes through the gift that it's completed. Nooo...it's not done until it's wrapped, or at least received. It would be nice to have the ability to change this option myself. Another thing is that I would like to add steps to the "purchased" area myself. I'm DIYing several gifts and some of them are done but I have to buy frames, etc., or once I receive them in the mail I still have to fix something or add something to it. It would be helpful to be able to create check boxes that I can edit to suit the gifts I'm tracking.
Lots of trouble restoring data from SD card when I switch phones. Does not switch over. Wish some of the premium features were on the free one, but awesome anyway. I have heard that some of the paid features don't work anyway anymore. I had tried at least 4-5 others. I kept this one
Great app, a few things could be improved - for instance toggle buttons for things which have arrived or been wrapped, rather than having to go into each item to tick the boxes. Still streets ahead of everything else I've tried, I LOVE the functionality that allows multi level grouping.
I wish you could add dates. If I were to design an app to track gifts there are a few things I would add. It would be great to have a birthday group where you could add birth dates then have the app sort by the next closest date rather than alphabetical. I would also like to be able to create an idea list for each person, then set a separate budget for each person. And a gift value and purchase price for each gift. Other then this, it's ok. I don't like all the adds and the things you can't use except in the pro version. Just don't put it in there.
Best gift organizer that I've found. Really helpful to be able to distinguish between items not purchased, purchased, ordered, shipped, received and wrapped right from the list. Would love to be able to copy/paste gifts across lists and maybe create a subcategory list under a person (example: stocking gifts vs. wrapped gifts). Otherwise excellent, simple interface with great features. Thank you for this app!
Loved the shipping note. Good to be able to see what parcels to expect but wish I could see one big shopping list. Still new to it.
I like that you can organize by event, then a specific person, or you can make a group. For example, i make a group for my kids' gift exchange wth their cousins.
Love it helps keep me organized. I shop all year for deals, now there are no surprises when it's time to wrap!
It's not too bad but I am going to try a different app. I don't like that if you are shopping on your phone and adding things to the list, every time you click out of the list and click back into it you have to start over. So you have to click into your event, click the person, then make a new gift and type everything in without needing to look back at the shopping website for information. It has an option to add a website but it's not easy to use since it does this
I'm a 1st time user. What I absolutely LOVE - you can track gift giving by categories & it sums it all for you. What I don't like is that it has all these "features" that are only on the pro version, thus taking up extra space on the free. Get rid of these features. It's not necessary. I would give it a 4.5 stars, if it was a clearer version.
Great for keeping track of people on your list, gifts and money spent. It's a little annoying that, when you enter an item and don't know the price yet, you have to click the back button in order to save it. I'll keep using it since I haven't found anything I like better.
Good- being able to keep separate categories of list on same app for birthdays & Christmas.Good for organising my long Xmas list. VERY BAD - when coming out of a person's list you go back to the very top of your list of people instead of back to the person you were on. So, if you've a long list of people to check through & have to keep scrolling back to where you were again, it's hugely irritating. As is not going to where you were if you leave the app. I'm still seeking the perfect list app.
I've used other apps before and am always disappointed after a while. This app is easy to understand and organize. Serves its purpose well!
This is the first such app I have tried. I underutilized it' ill do more with it to plan my online shopping and budget next year. I was just looking for a list app, but I love how it shows how much shopping you have done!
I've been using this app for a few years (mostly for Christmas shopping) and find it very helpful. It helps me to stay within budget for everyone on my list and helps me to to keep track of the gifts I buy throughout the year and set aside (hide!!).
I use this mainly for Christmas. It helps me keep track of how many and much I have spent on gifts. Keeps me from overshopping for one person. Perfect for big families. I love how you can separate the lists into different groups. Helps keep my budget intact and keep me organized.
I used it last year and it helped a ton to stay organized with 4 kids plus all the other family we buy for it keeps you on track and easy to use. That's why I am definitely using it for Christmas again this year
Keeps gift lists for Christmas organized well and you can see how much has been spent on each person and in total. Would be nice to be able to rearrange names or group together who you're finished buying for and what still needs to be purchased.
Love it. My daughter recommend this app & the only thing that I don't like is seeing exactly how MUCH I've spent!
This app helps us to set an amount for each person in the family and stick to it and remember what we have for them. Great app!
Would give it 5 stars if when you exit out of someone's name it doesn't take you all the way back up to the beginning of the list.
I've used this going on 3 Christmas and will keeping using ... it's so easy to use and very helpful ... great app never had an issues!!! ...
I use it for Christmas shopping,., It's awesome. Always have it with me because I downloaded it to my phone. So as I shop I list what I bought immediately!!
Disappointing, not enough features.
It's been very helpful for keeping track of spending and who to buy for. You should get this app.
Great way to help keep track of money spent and who u bought for.
I'm an early shopper for Christmas, and I was going a little crazy with what I'd bought for who, and all my ideas for what I hadn't bought yet. Now I'm organized and thrilled with what all I have done! :)
Has all I need for gift list tracking!
Love the features and it works great. ..it's just kinda plain.
First year to use it. So far so good. It keeps track of everything and how much it cost. Love it.
Haven't fully used it yet, but it seems to have everything I need. Love the personnel note part.
I've used this app the last 4 years for managing Christmas gifts. It's so helpful in keeping up with everyone's gifts and how much you're spending at a glance!
It's a bit fiddly but does the job & keeps a good record of your spending.
This is the easiest gift tracking app I have found. I plan on using this for every gift giving event all year long!
Downloaded this every christmas for the last 4 yrs best gift app on the market. Helps me plan so simple to use
I like that i can keep on budget but also as i buy throughout the year, with 4 kids, i can keep up with what i have bought and what i have thought off easily.
User friendly xxx
Disappointing, not enough features.

Fairly good app. The only issue I have is the backup & restore portion is terrible. You need to be able to select the file to backup and restore
