Xmas Budget App Reviews

I like to collect ideas throughout the year. And I like that it keeps track of the budget. I am not disappointed in this app at all.

I did the same thing as another reviewer, downloaded many apps, tried them and deleted all of them except for this one. I like that it is PIN protected, keeps other users of my iPad out of the gift list. The other helpful features are the ability to add Gift Ideas to individuals, and of course the budget tracker (for individuals and as a whole group). Also like that we can go back to a previous year to see what gifts weve given in the past. The overall look isnt anything to rave about, but whats important is that its a useful app. Last year I contacted the developers to ask them to fix a bug in the app and they did! So long as the app stays running smoothly, I will continue to use year after year. SUGGESTIONS: I would like to see the app have a memory of how you last sorted your list though. I usually sort by Completed and Incomplete so I can see quickly who I still need to buy gifts for. Also, a better view of the names on the list would be great, my list gets quite long and its a bit harder to see who all is on my list at a glance when I have to scroll through all the names and only a handful of the names can be viewed at a time on the screen. Maybe by rotating the screen, you can view a longer list, or perhaps a grid view vs. scroll view.

The cursor does not show on any of the input screens. Makes it difficult to use. The gift ideas do not save. They disappear as soon as you leave the recipient. Hard to say much more than that. Didnt want to waste too much time on it, knowing I could only add 5 recipients, which makes it useless for me. Im too cheap to waste a dollar on an app Im not sure about. I dont care for the red background.

Awesome app for tracking your christmas list and budget. Purchased for .99 but was worth it. Have used the past two years and its a lot better than a piece of paper. Hitting the save button will help out. Thanks for the app.

Great app! Helped keep the Christmas spending under control. Knew exactly where my money was going. Loved the breakdown by category. Would be 5 stars if I could create my own categories. Maybe next year.

used this app last Christmas and downloading again from the cloud this year. Perfect

Have to pay to add more than 5 recipients.

Looked at MANY Christmas list apps last year, downloaded several then quickly deleted. But for the most part this has exactly what I was looking for. The best feature is being able to sort gifts by groups. Would like to see a few more features added (like barcode scanner and being able to make someone complete) then it will earn a 5 star rating. But uh oh, logged on this year to start my new list, and it wont let you copy last years recipients and I def dont want to re-type them all plus I want to be able to quickly review what I purchased last year for them.

This app has helped me to be far more organized in my gift giving his year. It also helped me to notice that one particular child had fewer gifts to open than the other kids- in plenty of time to remedy the situation. I love being able to track which gifts have been wrapped! Very helpful. One change I would suggest is an option to track which packages purchased online have arrived.
