Gift Tracking App

Yes, I do remember, I cancelled Christmas. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one buying it though. I can honestly say i never expected to be having Christmas here with 5 people. Which translates to, I probably won't have much say in it - like the birthday's have been this year.

ANYWAY, I was able to snag a free copy of Gifts this morning (Christmas Gifts List is the full App Store name). It's a nice winter themed Gift Tracking App, simple, clean and too the point. I have a variety of other multi-use apps i could have used for this, but the festive look of this had me hoping I'd be lucky enough to get a copy.

When you add a person, you get the screen to enter a name and budget amount. You can edit that later by clicking the gear icon on their page if you don't want to face the reality of it at the time. Not that *I* would ever do something like that. However, the odds of me ever hearing what the budget might be, very much reality!

When you select a person, you then can add their gifts. My only beef here might be that the "notes" don't show up unless you click on the actual item. I think it would be cool if they were shown in the smaller grey font under the name. So I would have: Playmobil - Costco (if I knew the name of the set, I would have that instead). But it would be a nice at a glance to make sure you are buying the correct model of something.

You can also lock it with a PIN number, which is nice to keep prying eyes OUT. I also don't have it on a Springboard page either - so you have to know that it is there (it lists as, "Gifts") and search. Which might change if I decide to rearrange everything. Again.

I think that it is going to handier than the Handyshopper list I used last year on my Treo. That lacked the budget feature. I also hope the developer will implement some skins - so that I can switch to "birthday" mode after Christmas. Now to just ponder the items that need to go on the list.
