Ratings and reviews

our family has used this for a few years and really enjoyed all of its features. unfortunately this year it seems to have a lot of bugs. we had some where an individual updated their wish list and it didn't change for everybody else. we had several items that were marked purchased for someone but did not show purchased for everyone else, so we ended up with several duplicate gifts 😞

My family and I have used this app for years. I'm officially uninstalling it. I have organized our Secret Santa exchange for years and this app did everything we needed it to and more! But I have tried several times for a couple months to get our exchange started for this year and whatever updates they did made the app useless. Can't load previous exchanges, can't start a new one, can't even edit my profile. I appreciate the years of a great app and will miss it, but all good things must end.

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!
