Christmas Planner. App Reviews

Excelent planner. I enjoy keeping track of all gifts we need to buy, and how much we are spending. Everything in one tool very easy to use

Used for Years - Love it!. I have used this app for 5+ years to plan Christmas gifts. It is the only way I am able to track the status of gifts to be bought, gift ideas delegated to others, and budget. Syncing between my iPad and phone. The ability to print status reports and email lists is so useful.

I really want to like it…. I really want to like it but it’s not allowing me to edit people once added or their budget. I wasn’t sure what “Amount is not accounted” meant so I alternated that for different people but i can’t go back and edit or delete it to start over. It would also be nice to see at a glance whether I’m on budget or over for a certain individual. And finally since this would be used for one time a year it would be nice for the one-time purchase to be less than $4.

Best List App. I have tried several apps for tracking gifts. I love this one of the tracking options , budget, and easy prior year lookup and new year set up. Others I would have to delete the gifts to start a new year and download a backup to get prior years gifts. The only thing I would like to see is a Shipping and Received tracking. Only reason for 4 stars

All-In-One. I like the simplicity of it along with countdown days. Perfect way to keep track and delete those naughty people off your list too!

Pretty good Christmas list app. I really like the set up of this app. I do with it had the following… -A total spent for each person rather than a budget left. - A ordered feature so I know when I have ordered something but it haven’t arrived yet - the done feature is pointless, I feel like wrapped means done. - A way to look at the categories, like ideas or wrapped so I have a list view of each of those. Other than that it fits my needs and I enjoy using it.

Disgusting. In the beginning of the use of the app it was good to use. However somewhere along the way, whenever I opened the app, I was getting absolutely vulgar advertising. Nobody has access to my phone and that is not something that I have any interest in (not saying it’s wrong if you do). My grandchildren who are too young to read play with my phone all of the time, if they opened this app to see that, this would be more than a bad review. You should really consider the audience that is using an app like this, most of us don’t any to see that garbage as soon as we open a Christmas app. Disgusting, never again.

Love it!. This is my second year using this app. I wanted to wait to review until I had experience with it for more than one season. I feel it is very helpful to have this with me as I am running from store to store to remember what I still have on my list yet to be purchased and what I've already done. Thank you for helping me stay organized!

Best Christmas list. I’ve used this for 3 years now. I love it. As soon as I order something, I just open my app and add it to the person I bought the gift for. I know the store, the price, whether or not I wrapped it yet. It helps to keep me on budget. I love it!!

Great. It gets the job done in a easy way and listen to the customers. It has some limitations, such as there is no way to list the missing gifts based on the people who you are going to buy them for but overall I’m happy with it.

Not good enough. It’s fine to keep a list but it’s missing many tracking features. For instance if you list a person in the person tab, their name doesn’t come up in the gift tab until you add a gift for them- there is no way of knowing who you may have forgotten. Only writing this in case developers read and can update/ fix. Until then- stick with the Santa’s bag app

Used for several years. Very useful. I have used this app for several years. It works well. I wish it had a shipped button along with idea, purchased, wrapped as so many of my gifts are shipped direct. I also wish it had a complete button for people when you have finished with them so I could more easily narrow my list. That said, I like how it keeps track, manages the budget and helps focus the gift giving season.

One of the better apps for Christmas. I wish I could see the gifts under the names instead of it being on different screens. I do like the Home Screen it’s handy to see how much time to buy how many gifts I still need and how much I’ve spent

Love this app!!. I have used this app for a few years now and I love how organized it makes Christmas gift buying for me and helps me to stay within budget.

The best Christmas planning app! Except now all the adds are ruining it!!!. I’ve been using this app for years. At one point I was worried that the developers had forgotten about it because there weren’t any updates and I couldn’t find it in the App Store any longer. But here we are, it’s still working and going strong and I rely on it at holiday times. Plus it’s nice to have a reminder of what I spent the year prior, the types of gifts I bought, and who I shopped for. I opened it today though and to my surprise I have a bunch of extra things listed as gifts, except nope they’re not gifts, they’re ads! And the app keeps crashing now! Why ruin a perfect thing?!

Love this app. I love that I can easily see who I’ve bought for, what I’ve purchased, who I might be neglecting and how much I’ve spent on everyone. I also appreciate that I can see what my overall budget is for my ideas/purchases. Honestly, I can’t think of anything that needs to be added to this app! Easily worth the purchase price as you can use it for years to come.

I love This App!!!. the only thing that is a little bothersome is the adds that come up every 5 seconds and that i have to put the password in every time i change to me to others

I actually really like this app. Overall a really good app tos yay organized for the holidays. Ideally, I would love to be able to share it with my spouse so we can both work on the same list!

Too many full screen ads. The app is generally fine. I don’t like that you can’t add presents directly under a person but the biggest issue is there are too many full screen ads. I had an ad play 4 times in less than 5 minutes. It’s annoying and other apps off minimal adds on a free app

Helpful and nice features. This is a very helpful app with nice features for helping stay on a budget and planning for holiday gifting. No problem with ads. Very easy interface. I recommend it highly. I use it a lot!

Best Christmas Gift Management App!. I downloaded and tried all the Christmas Gift apps I could find. This was the only one that met every criteria I wanted.

Great App!. I’ve used this app for the last several years and it keeps me organized and on budget for Christmas. Love it!

Makes Christmas so much easier. I live far away from my family so I end up buying gifts online and sending them different places. This makes it so easy to keep track of hat I’ve sent, what I still need to buy and for whom

Great app for keeping track. Perfect for making my lists and checking things off. I also like that I can password protect my list from snooping kids! Will use again and recommend to everyone.

Xmas tracker. Excellent way to keep track of everything. Been using this for the last two years❤️

Xmas gift organizer. Great app! Have used it for many years. Helps we know what I already bought and what ideas I have for people. Also keeps me on budget.

Best Christmas planner EVER!!!. I have used this app for the past few years and I absolutely LOVE it!! If you are like me, and have several people to buy and wrap gifts for each year, this app is a must!!! I also love how you can archive previous years...that way I don't repeat gifts! I also use it to number gifts, as I wrap them, so that I don't get gifts mixed up, or forget what's in each package.

Best Gift app so far. Ever since I've had an ipad I've been looking to keep track of Christmas Gifts with an app, and every year I find one that comes close but isn't exactly what I need. This app is defintely the best one so far. I love that you can track gifts you're giving as well as gifts you receive. It's so easy to use and update and I can easily see what needs to be done and feel good about the stuff I've already done. The only thing I can't seem to figure out how to do is delete a gift on a person's list that I've decided not to get. Thank you so much for creating this and making my life much easier.

Lisa- Santa’s Shopper in Ohio. This app is so helpful with keeping me organized. With the way it is set up, I know in an instant how much money I have spent, any outstanding gifts I need to purchase, and which groups are finished or aren’t. Plus, I can easily look back to previous years to ensure that I am not duplicating a gift. This app is wonderful, and I recommend it to everyone!

Helpful, but could be organized better, Ads are annoying. Helpful but could be organized better and the ads can be a bit annoying

I’d be lost without this app. I love this app! It helps me keep track of what I purchase for Christmas. I never buy too many presents or go too far over my budget. I can keep my children’s gifts all around the same amount. I also love that it’s fingerprint protected. I would recommend this app for anyone that has a lot of people to buy for, or if you have a budget.

Good for tracking gift ideas. I’ve been looking for an app to track gift ideas and purchases and this one does a pretty good job. The only thing I wish is that you could check off when you have a person done.

It is okay. It is better than some but still hard to use. I like Better Christmas List which is no longer available. It showed you visually when you have finished all gifts for someone. I shop for a lot of people so that was a good feature. It is hard to tell when you still have left to do in this app.

Helps me stay organized. This is a great app that helps me stay organized during the crazy holiday season. It is easy to use, helps me stay on my budget and reminds me of what I have already bought.

Simple and Effective. It’s easy to use and doesn’t have a bunch of stuff you don’t need. Keeps your list from year to year and you can easily edit.

Difficult to figure out. I just wanted a simplified way of tracking who I purchased gifts for and how much I spent. I did have an app like that but lose it when computer died and had to get a new one and I couldn’t find the same one again. This is similar but not as easy to use.

Keeps me Sane. This app is perfect! It allows me to keep my finances in order through the holidays. I can add pictures so I remember what I’ve bought. And I can mark when I buy and wrap things! The notes section is great, too, because I can write down where I hide things 😜

Pretty Good So far. I’ve had this app for about a week or so now. Don’t have any complaints, seems pretty simple to navigate through for what it’s for. I would recommend.

Great App for being Organized for Christmas. My only complaint is that when a filter is set to show only those gifts that need to be purchased, it shows the full amount of budget to be spent, not the budget minus any presents purchased. If there is a setting to change that, I would like to know.

Photos from camera roll broken in iOS 26. In the PAST: I’ve used this app for four years and have loved it. 5 stars. I rely on it annually. HOWEVER: TODAY: BIG BUG. You cannot upload a photo from your camera roll to an item since iOS 26; you can still take a photo, but you CANNOT UPLOAD AN EXISTING PHOTO. When you try, it goes to a black screen and the app hangs. You have to kill the app and reopen it to get out of it. This is very really frustrating, particularly midseason!! I need the visual cue of an image for every item! Please fix! All of my 2025 Christmas planning and four years of shopping history is in this app! Grr… In the beginning, 2021, I’d have said 5 stars. Ads beginning in 2024 (I think) made it 4 stars (ONLY because you can remove ads for 48 hours by watching (2) ads in succession. You can do this repeatedly, so app is still viable). TODAY, with no camera roll photos? 2 stars. This is major functionality that MUST work! Please fix! Thank you. Re. feature requests, I agree with pcaskie.

Great App! I’ve used it for many years!. This APP is great for tracking ideas, gifts, budgets, gift status and more! You can track by person and it provides totals. I recommend it!

An app you’ll use all year long!. I’ve used it for the last few years and it’s been a huge help. I love storing ideas for birthdays and other holidays and referring back to them when I need to. Five stars!

Checkin It Twice. Handy, helpful app during a busy time of year. Useful to have previous years’ purchases saved.

Almost perfect. I love this app. I love that you can archive lists from each year and start new the next year. I only wish it had an option to delete a gift if you change your mind and return it

Organize your Christmas gift plans!!!!. This is by far the best Christmas gift planner ever! It keeps track of all your progress, it’s very customizable, it has color graphs so you can see how much you’ve spent and how much you plan to spend etc,it has a countdown feature, and you can even set a password so that no one can open the app and see what you’re getting them for Christmas!!! I strongly recommend getting this app if you are looking to keep track of your Christmas gifts this year!!!🎁📓👍‼️

Love this app. This app is great for my early Christmas planning. I wish you could edit cost of item after you add it.

Need a “received” option. Love love love this app. I just wish instead of a “done” option there was a “received” option. I don’t always wrap as soon as it arrives in the mail, and end up forgetting if I got it or not. I don’t really get what “done” is for anyways after it’s wrapped.

Could be better. I like the app but you should be able to see you entire list of people to buy for as well as the gifts you’ve purchased in one place. As of right now, you have to go to two different places, one to you the people you buy for, and other spot to log gifts you’ve purchased.

Great app. I’ve used this app for 4 years. I started with the free version and liked how it was organized so I paid for the full version. Now I can look back over the last several years and see what I bought. Very easy to use!

Very helpful!. This app has been extremely helpful. It’s going to keep me so on track this year. I love it!! I would like to see a section just for Christmas Cards. There are a lot of people that I’m not going to send gifts to, but would cards. Also, sometimes, I buy “batch” gifts. For example, my kids’ teachers are all getting the same thing. Rather than inputting them one at a time, it would be nice to have a feature where I can add a gift, and then assign it to multiple receivers.

Love this app!. Awesome! Super user friendly and has great features! Love it!

Useful app. I really like this app, I love being able to add groups of people, use my contacts and the ability to track presents from an idea to bought, wrapped etc. I use it every year and it totally keeps me sane during the festive season. Thank you!

Great app. Great all around, this app helps me plan all my families Christmas presents. Have been using for years, absolutely love that I can list by person and if they have been purchased or wrapped. The Face ID to open is a great feature to keep it hidden from little eyes. Would love to be able to sync the app with another user so my husband and I could both see the same list on our own phones.

Great planner. Thanks for helping me become organised!!

Was great until update. Was perfect - now there are ads, it doesn’t change the status of gifts when changed & IT CONSTANTLY CRASHES!!!

Sue. Beat present app around thankyou

Christmas Planning. Brilliant app to ensure “ideas” are captured and costs recorded to enable transparent spend tracking. I have used this app for the past few years and it is fail safe particularly for those of us that purchase gifts throughout the year in preparation for Christmas, therefore recording what we have purchased and spent on each person. I use to lose track of what I had spent and purchased at “sales” throughout the year, effectively blowing my Christmas gifting budget exponentially. Using this app has alleviated this from occurring. I love this app. Get it, you won’t be disappointed.

Great App want more. I really like this app but I would really like to use this for more than Christmas. Like birthdays etc so being able to create multiple lists to use simultaneously would be awesome!

A great app. This is a great app. The only thing I would like to see changed or added is that I would like to see a bit more information under the name of the person you are buying the gift for. I like that you can save and sync to the same app on a different device through Dropbox. 😃

Very helpful. Organises my work and is very simple and easy to use

Christmas must-have. I use this app every Christmas

Rating. The only extra I would want on this app is to be able to tick people off as you’ve bought all their gifts

Great app. I’m really enjoying the convenience of this app. Being able to know what I’ve purchased and who for, without getting everything out from hiding to check Is great. I now check them off as I purchased/wrap/put under the tree. Really simple to use too. The only thing I feel it’s missing is the ability to sort who needs a present purchased for them. The present list shows everyone with a present attached and the people list keeps the big list together but to be able to sort who I haven’t yet purchased for would be very helpful. Keep up the good work

Great gift app. This is a great app for gifts, nothing else with Christmas can be planned on it though, which is a bummer, but if that’s all you need to plan then it’s awesome!!

Great Christmas App!!. Awesome for managing a bug present list

Perfect Christmas Helper. Keeps me organized and on budget! So easy to use.

Love this app!. Super helpful for organizing Xmas gifts!

Great app. Keeps me organized. This is the best. Always know where I am with my Christmas shopping. Takes the stress out when you are organized

Great app to keep track of shopping!!. This app is great! Made my Christmas shopping so easy and helped me stay on budget. The only thing is that I did not find how I could delete a previous entry. Not a big problem but it’s a bit confusing at first. Which there were prompts within the app to help use the app.

Great way to stay organized. This is way better than making a basic list in the notes app. I love that I can sort everything by person and set budgets. Very convenient and helpful!

Paid for this app last year and have advertisements this year. Not happy that I now have advertisements inserted in my lists. I also don't like that there isn't an option to check off a person as completed.

Good.. It’s a fun and useful game, but there are too many adds.

Great app!. This app is my favorite for keeping track of Christmas gists and birthday gifts! It locks, it tracks what you have and haven’t done, it helps budget your gifts! Been using it for years!

Handy app. I’ve used this app for 4 years now. It’s a great tool when you’re out shopping and can’t remember what you still have to buy.

Too many ads. In free version, like the interface and layout but constantly being interrupted by full page ads. Really annoying when you’re trying to do things. There are lots of other apps that don't interrupt you!

Deb. Have been using this app for 3 years and really keeps me organized with all the gifts I have to buy

Love love love. I’ve been using this to organize all my Christmas gifts for the last few years now. It’s a must have!

Love it!. Best Christmas app I’ve come across yet!!! Love it! A few more adds then needed but it’s still great!

Awesome!. Super simple way to keep everything for Christmas organized! Would def recommend

Amazing,but.... I gave this a 5-star because it’s soooo feature packed, it doesn’t push buying the premium version or rating the app, and it’s kid friendly. It’s actually helpful unlike other Christmas planning apps. BUT.... there is one problem that’s pretty annoying, ADS! pls try and limit the ads on your app, I know it’s a free app and all but it almost going too far.

So helpful!. This has made my Christmas shopping so much easier and I can finally control how much I spend

So Easy. Love this app. It’s so easy to use. It keeps me organized and it’s password protected so nosy teens & hubby stay out! Lol

Solid gift/X-Mas app!. Great app for tracking gifts. Has made gift buying so much easier this year... AND, no more forgotten gifts!

Too many ads - don’t bother. This app is basically unusable because of unskippable video ads covering the entire screen that pop up every 30 seconds!! What a joke - won’t be using.

App très aidante pour s’organiser!. L’app permet de déterminer quels cadeaux sont achetés lesquels restent à emballer etc. Il y a beaucoup de pub. Je suggère aussi que l’app permette de planifier tous les cadeaux noël et anniversaires afin qu’on puisse déterminer lequel on donne quand.

Perfect Christmas Organizer. Any way you want to organize your Christmas gifts to and from others, it’s all in this app. With many different ways to input and view the data you provide this app allows you to see not only your Christmas shopping progress but also the rest of the way until the presents are actually wrapped and under the tree. Love the visual presentation and super easy to use. 10/10

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Best game ever. Omg! Hi I am going to say if you are looking for something to organize your wishlist, then this is the app for you!

Not impressed. Ease of tracking idea to completion by person just not there. Not intuitive for more than adding names

Great Tool. Love this tool to keep track of gifts “to buy” and already bought.

Perfect Christmas App. Great Christmas app! So easy to budget and not miss a thing.

Great app!. I love this! It helps me so much during the holidays!

Love it!. I feel in control of my gift giving for the first time in my 48 years of marriage! The app is easy to use and it’s so simple to keep track of spending and status of each gift! I love it!!!!

It is kind of confusing. The app is kind of confusing to use and to keep track of all your gifts.

Very useful. This app is very handy. It’s easy to use and helps me keep track of my presents.

Christmas Gift List. I've been using a different app every year to keep track of my shopping for Christmas, as I have a very large family to buy for. One program I really liked, and used for several years until I discovered this program ... Which I consider the best of all the rest!!! The only negative is that the stores aren't listed in alphabetical order. Beside that, I love it!!!

So helpful. I love this app! It helps keep me on budget and reminds me of all the presents I have hidden away and keeps the gift giving even!

Lifesaver. This app really helps with keeping track of gifts, and the budget allotted for each person/everyone.

Great App. Used for at least 4 years. Great for planning gifts and tracking expenses. My Holiday go to App.

Gift has been “Archived” but data was deleted. I did like this app however one day when I went to use it, all the gift ideas I had saved under people’s names were gone. It now says ‘there is no planned gift or the gift has been archived’ and I have no way to retrieve this information

Needs a DONE stamp. It would be Great if when you’re done shopping for someone, there was an indicator of that so you didn’t have to go into each person’s profile to remind yourself

Fantastic. Huge time saver.

Pricing not working. Love this app. Just wish I could delete present. Also sometimes the price are doesn’t allow u to put a price in.

Use it every year. Interface is a bit dated, but I use this every year. So great!

Easy. Great app for keeping track of gifts and easy to use

So Helpful!. Great organizer and budget planner for the holidays. Simple and innovative to use. Recommend.

Awesome. This made organizing my Christmas to do list sooooo much easier!

Helpful and easy to use!. As a person who loves using lists this is a great app that lets you sort gifts for each person, and also sort by stores. There's a handy budget feature that shows how much each gift is, a total of how much you've spent, and how much you have to work with. I love that you are able to update each gift at every stage from need to buy, bought, wrapped, etc. Best of all it's free!

Does what I need it to.. Could be easier to link presents to people

Handy!. I used a different app for prior Christmases, but tried this one and I like it much better. Will use it again next year.

Can't delete anything!!. I love the concept of the app, however there is no option to completely delete an item once you have added it. You can mark it "purchased", "wrapped", "done" etc....but you can't delete

Ckagvoen. Rodman

Ads. I used to love this app and have used it for years. Something changed with the ads and it only shows me incredibly inappropriate ones. I will be deleting the app because of it. I flagged the ads and updated my preferences. I only have an issues with this app so it’s very disappointing.

Great organizer. This has been an app I happily paid for the pro version. I’ve organizer three christmases with it so far. It’s the best I’ve found.

Great app!. This app really helped me to organize my holiday budget in a clear, concise way. It helped me not to over spend! I wish there were a way to see the people that I still needed to buy for though, without having to click on each individual person...maybe in a list format? I would definitely recommend this app to others.

Could be smoother. Organization seems a little choppy and could be simpler.

Organized. Just starting but so far I love that i have it all in one place

Very helpful. Keeps everything in line. I love that I can keep track of how much I've spent total and per person.

Love the layout. It's helpful and I love the layout but there's too many requests to review the app and the no thanks option doesn't work. Tricky...

Great little app!. Keeps me organized and helps to track spending for Christmas! Thanks creators!

Best free app I've used. Best free app i have been able to find. Needs to have an amount left to spend function but still a very useful app

Doesn’t always work. I love that I can keep track of ideas and what I’ve bought but app won’t let me mark that I’ve purchased and wrapped now?

Great before the app. Please spell wrapped correctly. It’s driving me crazy. I’ve used this app for 3 years and have loved it until now! Please fix it. There’s glitches that cause it to not open the correct gift you click on.

Has problems. Wont allow me to reset gifts or budgets. I archived but most of last years gifts are still there. I must MANUALLY remove gifts. I don’t like it. No way to contact anybody for questions. I’ll be moving on.

Good app but forgot delete button.. It tracks the budget and keeps a list but every idea is kept there permanently. No delete button.

Love it. It's a good app you see I am 9 and I am saving my money for Disneyland or Christmas presents 🎁 and I put my presents on her so thanks sooooooooooooooooo much for this app love Chloy foxey

So helpful!!!. This app is amazing!! Not only will it help me organize my whole list for my friends and family and track how many days till Christmas but it also gives me a detailed chart to work with so that I can see exactly what's wrapped, need to buy, ideas etc. this app has been so helpful this year it's only November and I've been able to almost completely finish my list! The only suggestion I would give is to add an option for ordering gifts online and being able to track packages info and when they arrive and things like that! But over all wonderful app!!!

Not user friendly. It took me forever to figure this out would not show amount purchased

Christmas app. This is one of the best apps I have tried. I would highly recommend this!

Great app!. I love this, it’s fairly easy to use and helps you to truly plan better!

Best gift planner I've found!. I dumped another similar app that I've used for two years in order to try this one. I knew right away I would stick with this one. It's everything you could want and more. The only minor issue is a mis-spelling of "Status" on the gift pages. It is spelled "Stutas". I'm sure this will be corrected in a future release. Otherwise, the app is just perfect... and add-removal registration is only 99 cents!

The ads are insufferable. Half of your clicking will be to remove the ads which cover your screen. Good luck.

BEST Christmas gifting app!!. I downloaded about five other apps to keep track of how much money I'm spending on gifts and how much I've spent on each person, and this one is by FAR the best! It's so easy to use! I also really like that you can set up a password for the app!

Great app. Love this app for keeping track of Christmas gifting!

Great app. Works great for tracking my Christmas list! Have used it for 4 years now.

Keeps me organized.. Love it! It helps keep me on budget and organized!

Santa savior. This app is very helpful and Free! It helped me stay organized and on budget. It was great that it gave me a planning process for what I have bought and wrapped or for that which is just an idea. It also gave me a chart for my overall spending. It was very easy to add gifts as well. Would definitely recommend it!
