Ratings and reviews

It's an okay app, my main complaint is that in order to mark an item as received, you have to move it to a separate "Items I Received" list. I really wish that there was an option to just put them to the bottom of the list that they're on and stamp them with a "RECIEVED" banner or grey them out or smt. I use it to track things I want, and I don't want them in a separate wishlist, I want to see how much item progress I've made towards completing a list!

We are using it for a small group, 6 people. Works well. I would rate higher but the name drawing algorithm is a tad glitchy. When a redraw has to occur, it seemed to assign the exact same names at least 3 times in a row before the name changed. My favorite is the wish list. I love the choice of vendors a d categories are so helpful, the best? I can add a like to an item from a site that maybe isn't part of elfster!

I've used elfster for at least a decade, planning exchanges with friends and coworkers, saving lists to give to my family. But lately there's been an issue that's been really frustrating. I copy in a link from another website, and sometimes it works and loads the data, but if it doesn't, it discards the link. Even if I try to put in my own description and photo, the link is gone so it won't take anyone to the specific item. Would be perfect if that could be fixed
