Ratings and reviews

does this app work for what it's needed? yes! however, if you're using a screen reader, this becomes tedious that everything is spelled out letter by letter when you're looking at gifts and then for some reason between the web and the app it gets tedious going back and forth trying to get the to tell you what you get. other than that it's not bad. it works pretty good and I like the selections they have.

It's great. Put in the list of names, and when it comes time to choose, you say who you are (so you don't pick yourself) and you get assigned a random person from the proverbial hat. Each person can make a wishlist within the app and you can view the wishlist of the person you are assigned. It automatically removes items that are above the specified spending cap as well.

it's not the same as it was last year. it was really helpful when you could see others wishlist to buy them gifts and well. it was also useful to be able to go into the links and save the size, color, or any other specific detail that you want for your wishlist item. neither of these features are available this time. so it's very limited and not very useful. it's just easier to draw names on paper and have and excel spreadsheet of things we want.
