Secret Santa

This was advertised as a free easy app to use. I input 14 people’s information, and then when I got to the review/send step, I was informed that to send by any channel other than mail, it would cost me $5.50. There was also no ability to attach mailing addresses to people’s information in order to mail presents.

Paid the cost to upgrade the app to have more than 6 guests. Then guests start loading their wish list, only to have them disappear the next morning. This is very annoying, specially for paying for an app that doesn’t deliver as it promises.

This app is just what we’re looking for and we Want to try this app for our family Secret Santa gift exchange this year. I am willing to pay to unlock it because we have more than 6 people in our pool, but I have a couple of questions first. Does each guest get to create their own wish list? And can wish list items contain images and/or links to websites where items can be purchased? Will happily bump this rating up a star or two if it works for us.

I wanted to receive copies of the emails just in case, but unfortunately due to poor planning the copied emails are sent with each persons name and gift-receiver directly at the beginning of the email so even if I don’t open them, I still see everyone’s ruining the surprise. Tried to re-do everything without sending these emails, emails were still sent second time. Huge waste of my time. So frustrating.

Paid for the upgrade and can’t get wishlist to work for 6 participants. Disappointing.....

This app works. We gave it 4 stars because of two issues. Firstly, I set the gift price parameters and had second thoughts but wasn’t able to go back to that page to edit the price range. Secondly, this is, practically speaking, not a free app. The free version is only good for 6 guests. Nobody needs an app for so few. If you are like us and intend to share with more, the developers should just say upfront that the app costs $5.50 or whatever because the features are worth it. It’s not worth the angry backlash from surprised consumers.

Very disappointed in this app. Only after you go through your contacts and add everyone on the secret Santa list and then mark who cannot get who do they tell you that more then 6 people will require an upgrade of $5.50! For a one time use! Total waste of time.

Tried to do my first “free” event to see how it worked, got my event all set up and information put in, to be told I couldn’t use the text message feature. Then when I went to send it off via e-mail it still wouldn’t go, I had to buy the full version of the app for $5.50.

The app says you can create one free event. But what’s the point of creating one free event if you can’t complete the event by sending the results by email or text for that event? So basically you waste your time to try a free event and either pay over $5 for the “free” event or go back to drawing out paper names.

I sent several messages to developer and no response. This was a nice future if it worked.
