Elfster: The Secret Santa App App Reviews

This has been great for our gift exchange year after year!

Elfster is so convenient between knowing exactly what a person wants and have it shipped directly to them. You can't go wrong.

They keep sending me emails even after I turned off all my settings, if they don’t stop I will have to delete the program!! That’s a shame because it is a good app!!

This let my mom know what I want

I love this app! It’s kind of like secret Santa because you don’t know who’s getting you what. I love ittt!!! It’s a great app and I recommend it to the whole world, everyone should be using this app because it’s fun, and so secret! This is definitely my go-to app!!

Love it keep it going.

Love it!! It’s really easy to use and I like how I can mark it as purchased so somebody Dosent buy the same thing

Hard to navigate things like sent address links names are hidden

Great app! just wish i could browse more stuff because its hard to think of things! I absolutely love it!!

Have used every year for a few years. This year it’s running very slow and I’m getting errors trying to create. My internet connection is fine. Update: was just an issue on this specific day. Ended up working fine the rest of the month.

It’s honestly a great app love everything about it only con is that it sometimes won’t show the thing I search and takes a while but besides that great app recommend 👌🏼👍🏼

I love the look and ease of use with the new update. I use Elfster with family and friends for Christmas (love the gift exchange feature) and birthdays for my kids. It’s such a great way to inform those who ask what my kids want/need. After using this app for 6+ years now the only feature I wish it had was knowing who marked purchased which items. So often my kids open all their gifts without me present (because I’m busy hosting and such) and it would be nice to be able to refer back to the list

I am really awful about knowing what I want until I see it so this is a super convenient way for me to add what I like in one spot for friends and family to see.

I’ve hosted a few spooky baskets or Christmas baskets for the past 3 years and this app has been amazing! Easy to use, does all the work to create the secret buddy! Highly recommend for any party or spooky baskets!

Amazing for Xmas lists

Every year my (very large) family uses this app to select our secret Santas. I appreciate that you can set restrictions to people within the group so they can’t draw certain people. I think if I were to change anything, I would ask for an option to import wishlists from other sites like Amazon, Etsy, etc.

No longer able to paste a link for some reason 😢

It’s a very good app good to know what exactly what you want for Christmas

I love using this app for gift exchanges. It’s great when people actually add items to their wishlist because I don’t have to play the guessing game. 10/10 would recommend.

I love this app it’s so funn!! But when I tried to freind a freind my freind had me as a freind but I didn’t have her

I like this app bc I can use different things from different apps to put on but it glitches a lot and always has errors. It signs me out quite often and gets annoying but other wise it’s a good app for wishlists.

Love this app 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍💕💕💕💕

This app is seriously everything I’ve ever wanted. It was very thorough but extremely easy to navigate and use. We have a big family so this was seriously perfect!!

I’ve had the app for about two years now.. recently it’s been crashing and closing. I did the update and still the same problems.

Easy way to compile a wishlist of items from multiple stores in one place. I like that you can leave notes on each item for specifics. Our family uses this for Secret Santas.

I really enjoy this app to get gift lists out to multiple people. They do have a “family manager” option so you can create lists for your children or whomever. The only negative to this option is that you are not able to see if a gift was purchased for them. I add to the list throughout the year because we use the app for Easter basket ideas, birthdays, and Christmas. The issue comes in when you go to buy something you don’t know what has already been purchased because you can’t access the list

Great for gifts for all occasions

I truly love Elfster. It literally takes away the “what do I get this person?” anxiety. Very convenient. However, after you create a wishlist, you can personalize it to a specific group or private. But! The private is only limited to one person. I just wish it had the option to select multiple people that maybe be outside of other gift exchanges. I also wish you could create an exchange without the draw feature. Overall, I love it and will recommend it always.

This app is very easy to use and it helps me get things I actually want from my family not just socks from grandma.

In my opinion Elfster is awesome because it helps you keep track of your gifts that you want and in my opinion it's just awesome!

This app is amazing you can easily find what your wishing for and set it up for your child or friend

I wish the homepage had suggested items based off of my wishlists or recently viewed searches. Like with Pinterest, when you save a product to a board, similar items show up on your homepage shortly after. It’s tedious to have to type in exact key phrases to find the things I want, especially if I just want to scroll or discover new things. I do like the current suggestions such as things under $25, but they rarely change and are generic. I think a “recently viewed” or “if you like (product A),

i like it a lot…. i’m not entirely sure what else to say

This is an honest review. I really enjoyed this app! It is easy to use. The layout is simple and consistent throughout the app. My group used it for a book swap. I wasn’t the person who organized the book swap, so I can’t rate it as an organizer. I give it 5 stars!

Elfster really is an amazing app. You find so many things you love there’s about something for everyone here. My whole family has this app it’s really great. If you have not tried Elfster I recommend trying it.😁😁😁

It is a great tool for holidays and birthdays. The only problem is that it doesn’t have all popular brands. Otherwise I totes recommend!🥳

Every time I open the app it has me re sign in I hate doing that

This app literally has EVERYTHING you need or want you can see what someone wants I’m literally just coming back from getting my secret Santa get this app it I awesome I have literally not stopped using this app for like four days!!

Works great and simplifies everything. Love it.

I love this app! Although, it did give us some technical difficulties this year with two accounts for Ray, and Ryan not being able to see his account? Other than that, it’s nice for a gift exchange.

Good app, just wish it was a little easier to add stuff from different websites.

I add items to a current wishlist but it somehow only adds it to a wishlist from two years ago. Spent 30 minutes troubleshooting. Still a problem.

Needs to improve the old wish to new wish Anything on the old year should not come up on the new. We used these app for 3 years and worst is this year, people sent gift’s from 2 year ago’s wish list? Consider everyone is busy + not computer savvy?? ?

I don’t like that it forces people to create profiles to view the list. Giftful will let you share with a link and not the need to create a full profile

Hello, I’ve been having an issue where the app will just shut down when I’m in the middle of doing something in the app. If the app could stop shutting down that would be great. Thanks
