Better Christmas List app review: keep everyone happy

Reviews

Introduction

We all want to make our friends and family happy when the holidays arrive so Better Christmas List for iPhone and iPad has been designed to ensure no one and nothing is forgotten, meaning smiles for everyone come Christmas morning!

What we have here is little more than a simply Christmas-themed list creation tool, but I do think the developer has done a great job with its overall development, and it couldn’t have come at a better time with Christmas just around the corner.

Not Long Now!

This is a great tool that you can use on your iOS device to create Christmas lists for different groups of people in your life, including things like Friends, Family, Coworkers, and so on. You can also set up budgets for individual Groups and People to ensure you don’t break the bank!

Rather than trying to capitalize on new business every single year, the developer has been kind enough to allow your gifts from each year to be archived for use in subsequent years. This way you won’t have to buy a new app or keep inputting the same information each year.

Better Christmas List also provides full integration with your native iOS Contacts list so that you can easily assign gifts to people, and you’ll be pleased to know that passcode protection should keep your lists safely away from prying eyes!

If you’re collaborating with different friends and relatives to get gifts for people then you might also like to know that you can share your lists with others online via email. This also provides a quick and dirty way of backing up your lists by sending them to yourself.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Utilize a cool Christmas-orientated list creation utility for your iOS device
  • Create different groups for Friends, Family, Coworkers, and so on
  • Establish budgets for individual Groups and People
  • Gifts from each year can be archived for use in subsequent years
  • Provides full integration with your native iOS Contacts list
  • Keep your records safe and secure with passcode protection
  • Assign unique icons to keep things nice and organized
  • Share your lists with others online via email

Cons          

  • This app has generally been very well received by users; however, it could certainly do with a little fine tuning in terms of the interface and control system: “This is a decent app however there are small annoying issues that make it difficult to use.
  • To me the buttons are on opposite sides of where I am used to; the save buttons on the left and the delete button on the right. I have deleted info that I put in and had to re-enter several times. There is a notes page to write notes about a gift. However when you click on that there is no way to get back to the app. So you have to close the app and restart. Very frustrating.”

Final Words

As we’ve seen above, the feature for adding notes to your gifts seems a little temperamental, so you’ll want to stay aware of this before downloading Better Christmas List onto your iOS device.

Other than that, I’m impressed with this iPhone and iPad app overall and would definitely recommend it so that you can keep everyone happy this year!
