Wishlist by Giftbuster

I’ve been using this app quite a lot but I use it more as a private wishlist than a gift registry. In saying that, I like that I have the option to make lists public if I want and that I can choose which ones. I like how easy it is to add things from a url. And how you can add multiple pictures of an item. And I’m pretty sure it automatically shows when an item is on sale on the website that you added it from. I prefer the style of thumbnails in the latest update than previous ones as well (rectangle instead of square). I think it could be nice to have the option of switching between view styles however, and even being able to have a mixture of the two—like some items in a list are square and some are rectangle. Maybe I’m thinking too far into it idk. It would also be pretty cool if you could have different sorting options, like being able to switch to sorting by titles or by price or even custom sorting, I think that would be pretty snazzy. Overall, nice app.

Cant turn this off, it’s very annoying

Have used GiftBuster for the last couple of years for the kids to put their Xmas gifts on and now it won’t let them save without putting in a URL. Very annoying. Have deleted this app and now using another one that doesn’t have this feature

The app requires you agree to their terms, give them your full name, email and date of birth to sign up. I don’t feel confident sharing this information. The terms state: “Giftbuster may at some point license, sublicense, sell or otherwise distribute its content, including but not limited to the Photos, Informaion , Comments and community services in whole or in part to third parties at its sole discretion.” (Spelling mistakes left in). That’s not something I can agree to. The app developer is saying it can sell your personal information at their own discretion. Furthermore they say, “GiftBuster does not claim ownership rights to any of your Posting” however later on it says “you hereby grant to GiftBuster a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, distribute, and display such materials.” So, that’s in stark contradiction. Also, “by uploading content of any kind including… any Photos, Comments or Reviews, you automatically grant to Giftbuster and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such Photos, Comments and Reviews throughout the world in any media.” It’s likely that the photos you’ll use come from product pages on websites (as you’re making a wish list of things you want), but the terms are basically saying the app developers have a right to use your content however they wish - and that includes your comments or reviews - so nothing you put in this app is private. That also includes their affiliates and we don’t even know who they are and what that includes. No, thank you.

But I don't use it in the way it was intended... I needed an app to track potential purchases. I'm not using it as a gift registry. It's good at tracking any potential purchase making them easy to list and later find. It would be great if it could be more broadly developed as a purchase tracker and researcher as it's much more useful to me for this purpose. But it gets 5 stars because it much better than anything else I've tried to use and the Safari extension seals the deal. It's more than a present app. It's a research tool as well.

I used to love this app, it helped me make wishlists for myself and others. Now it feels like I have to force close it over and over just to get some buttons to work. I have to manually add links now because the safari > GB app just loads forever and doesn’t do anything. Major bummer, will be looking for a new app to use.

This app fails the basic test of working as expected on your screen. I don’t know of care what’s going on behind the scenes, but it’s not unreasonable to expect that touching a UI widget should cause SOMETHING to happen. All too often, it just doesn’t. Force quit the app, reopen, hope it works, repeat. Tried to use this with my family for the holidays and it was a mess. Look elsewhere for wishlist management.

No reserve button on any of the items in someone else’s list.

App is glitchy and it stopped working

I loved this app just recently whenever I try to log in, I can’t. It says “server error” on all devices. I’ve made many lists and it would be a shame to have all of my lists deleted. All of my devices are updated, the app is at its latest version so I’m not sure what the problem is?
