User Reviews

Users praise the app for being intuitive and good at budgeting and organizing gifts, especially for large families. However, lack of cross-device sync/export, scarce updates and support, and several workflow issues (removal of features, reordering limitations) are the most mentioned downsides. Overall, it’s valued when it works, but portability and maintenance problems hinder long-term use.
Pros
  • Intuitive, easy-to-use interface with flexible gift tracking across multiple recipients.
  • Strong budget tracking with a running total of what you’ve spent and what remains.
  • Comprehensive organization features: grouping by recipient, multiple entry methods, year-to-year archiving, and the ability to add photos.
  • Helpful for large families and ADHD users; keeps gifts organized and on track.
Cons
  • No cross-device syncing or easy data migration between devices; data export/import is not available.
  • Limited or no updates and slow/no support from developers; app appears neglected.
  • Workflow gaps: gift counter removal, inability to reorder gifts, and ambiguous statuses; some features feel inconsistent.
  • Data portability issues and reliability concerns (e.g., difficulty exporting data or data loss reports).

I absolutely love this app. I’ve been using it since 2010 and really can’t say enough wonderful things about it. Until now. I got a new phone and for crazy reasons, had to reinstall all my apps from scratch rather than restore from a backup. There is no way to export data from Christmas list on the old phone so that I can import it on the new phone. And Support has not responded to my request. If I get an answer, I’ll let you know.

I love this app so much! I’ve been using it for several years and it allows me to easily keep track of all my purchases, especially as I buy things earlier in the year.
