Ratings and reviews

I've been using the website for 4 years already and we have loved it. I tried the app this year and I didn't like how it didn't offer to reuse my list from previous years or offer the exception of drawing the same person from the year before. This was an option and had been great. Also, not a fan that the kid list isn't available on the app, only website. Defeats the whole purpose and a pain to toggle between the app and website. Would love for it all to be in one.

This was so helpful. We had 12 people in our group, & it allowed for exclusions (so couples couldn't get each other for example) and it was completely easy to use to find who you were shopping for. The wishlist suggestion was so useful for everyone because it linked you directly to Amazon, Walmart, or what ever store. Very niche things you can input into a comment section. It was also useful because the wishlist were open for everyone to see, so it's nice for future purchases like bdays.

awesome. every year, the adults do a name drawing with my moms side of the family at either my sister's house or mine. my sister usually does the name drawings somehow, and tells us all who we get and the wishlists. I insisted this year on doing it and finding an app.. I knew by now there has to be truly secret drawings avail with wishlists. . and this one was the 2nd search result but with the best rating. I love it! I don't have to know who everyone draws.. no signup, easy to start.
