IMG_0513Hurrah! We’ve just submitted version 1.6 of Better Christmas List to Apple for approval.

Changes in this version include:

  • By common request, Notes is now a full-page screen.
  • Improved layout of gift recipient page.
  • Recipient now includes photo (if present in Address Book)
  • Can link recipient to your address book and view details.
  • When creating a new profile, selecting from the address book will auto-fill fields.
  • Improves performance of pass-code screen – no longer any need to pause between buttons.
  • Pass-code a little more festive :)

Our past experience has been that it takes around two weeks for updates to make their way through the mountain of apps that Apple have to deal with. Look for it soon!

I normally use a printed out spreadsheet to keep track of my Christmas list. I take a hard copy with me when I shop, write in new data, enter the updated info on the computer, print a new copy, and then start the process over when I shop again. This is my frist holiday season with an iPhone and this app is going to make my shopping SOOO much easier! I love *almost* everything about it. The look is great, and I love that it tells me how many shopping days I have left. It is all very easy to read. I only have 2 requests…

First, I agree that I too would like a separate “wrapped” and “mailed” icon. But this is not a deal breaker for me. It would just be a “bonus.”

Second… and this one IS *very* imortant to me… I need to be able to have budgets for individual people, not just for the whole group. Not everyone in each category gets the same amount of money spent on them. I want to be able to enter a budgeted amount for each person, and have them totalled up automatically in the “Group” headline. Each person needs to have a “budget” and “spent” amount or a label like this: $22.50/$100.00… so I can see how much I have left to spend on that person. As it stands now, I will have to still carry a separate list with budget amounts so I don’t forget. With just this one change, this would be a 5 star app! Thank you!

Love your Xmas gift app! My favorite! PLEASE make an app for gifts, anniv, etc. I have downloaded many gift apps, Xmas and others but none compare to your Xmas app. We really need a miscellaneous gift app like the Xmas!!
