Holiday List is a list manager for your Holiday shopping this season. Great for Christmas, Hanukkah list tracking. This list manager helps you keep track of what shopping you have done and what shopping is yet to be done. If you come up with a gift idea for someone, just add it into their gift list at anytime. When you purchase / create the gift, just check it as being done. And when you finish an individual, just click the Finished Shopping button and see their Wagon fill up with gifts. This Holiday List manager is meant to make life a little bit easier this holiday season.

There are four separate sections (Family, Friends, Work, Others) to allow you to keep track of different groups. Here is a list of functions available.

* Multiple Lists for Family, Friends, Work and Other

* Completely editable lists for each group. While in edit mode you can add a new person, delete a person, change the name of a person, and reorganize the order of each group of people.

* Manage an independent list of Gifts for each person. Sometimes, especially for kids, you will want to purchase or create multiple gifts. This list manage provides a complete secondary list manager for multiple gifts.

* Shopping complete indicator. There is a special holiday indicator that you can use to quickly determine whether you have finished shopping for a person or not. For people that you are still shopping for, leave their Wagon as empty. When you have finished shopping, just select the Finished Shopping selector and the Wagon will fill.

* When you first open up Holiday List, you will see each group with two entries (Person 1, Person 2) and each of those with 1 Gift. You can quickly edit these by pressing the edit button and selecting the entries that you want to change.

* Password Protection: Now you dont have to use the main iPhone or iPod device password just to keep your list away from prying eyes. Just go to the Settings App, select Holiday List and set your password there. There is also an enable button there to decide if you want a password or not. If you forget your password, just go back to the Settings App to see what it is or to change it.

Pros and cons of Holiday Gift List app for iPhone and iPad

Holiday Gift List app good for

Straight forward. Application locks which is perfect for me as family is very nosey.
Great App. Now that the password problem has been fixed it is perfect. I looked at a lot of gift lists and this one is great. Simple and fun to use. Highly recommended!

Some bad moments

On the plus side this is the nicest looking gift-list app. Unfortunately theres little else to recommend it. There is no way to assign prices to gifts or budgets, no way to view a list of all gifts that need purchased, and no way to add notes to people or gifts. No way to add new groups. Sometimes it will not save changes.
I really like this app for Christmas, but I would like to see if you can adapt it to use for birthdays and other holidays that you buy presents for.
Descent app. Would be five stars if creator listened and added $$$ function that totals. They recommend putting it in description but it does not work as well. Very annoying. Please add !
I love this simple, easy to use app. Just what I needed. When I saw it had password protection, I grabbed it! I have tried using other lists, web based, and other productivity software. But I needed the simplicity of this app to make this work for my needs. Very happy with it.
I was the first one to write a review. My review included several suggestions for improvement. With two updates the author has implemented ALL suggestions! WAY TO GO! 5 STARS!
Now with the update the app adds up how much you are spending which is perfect. this is a perfect app to keep track of all you xmas shopping. i love this. good job
