GiftList – A Gift Tracking App

Our family is spread out and GiftList makes planning Christmas giving for our family easy. It replaces group chats that we used to use and allows us to see who’s getting what in one place. The feature to see all the items I’m planning to get makes shopping easier as I don’t have to worry about forgetting something.

I think that this app is great! It is definitely going places. I am also excited to see that this app is getting regular bug fix updates. I hope that there are more coming, because I’ve had a few issues. One issue I had was that once you add a picture of a gift, it will only stay as long as you keep the picture in your camera file, and it would be much better if the picture stayed on the app and I’d rather not have to leave random pictures of objects in my camera roll. My family also discovered that the link for a gift list item is sometimes replaced by the words we put in the notes section and then we lose the link and others can’t access the link anymore. If it wasn’t fixed in the recent bug fix, I hope it is fixed in the next one.

I love this app. It is really great and really helpful to me when I want to see what my friends and family want for Christmas. I can also use this for birthdays. I enjoy the helpful feature of being able to reserve a gift. Then you can know what other people will buy. My only complaint, and the reason I only gave four stars, is that sometimes, when trying to edit a gift, you can’t type in some boxes. It won’t allow you to and I had needed to type a new title so I had to bold it in the description. Over all though, this is an amazing app. I can use it all year and I don’t have to constantly ask people what they want.
