Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

SHOPPING OVERVIEW
Simple, at-a-glance views of shopping progress including budget.
ADD GIFTS LIKE JOTTING A NOTE
Adding a list of gifts is as simple as typing (or even dictating) a note. Just place each gift name on a new line and The Christmas List transforms your note into a gift list. It’s like Christmas Magic!
IMPORT FROM YOUR CONTACTS
Get a jumpstart on your lists by importing select recipients from your existing contacts.
EASY SHARING
Easily share lists using AirDrop, email, iCloud Drive, or Messages. Use AirDrop to quickly share a single recipient or an entire group.
SHOPPING LISTS BY STORE
Once you select a store for a gift, The Christmas List remembers that store and automatically builds a shopping list for the store to help make sure you get everything you need when you are out and about.
MULTIPLE GIFT RECIPIENTS
Once you create a gift you can copy it to other recipients on your list without the need to retype the details.
POPULAR RETAILERS
The Christmas List comes with a list of popular retailers, but if you don’t see the one you are looking for you can easily add your own. You can even use emoji in the store name.
ADD PHOTOS
Add photos for gifts and people from your photo library, clipboard, or camera.
CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN
See a countdown to the number of shopping days until Christmas right in the app.
PRINTING
Print lists directly from the app.
NO PEEKING
Optional password protection – set up a PIN or use Touch ID to keep out snoops.
EDIT MULTIPLE GIFTS AT ONCE
Changing the status of several gifts at once has always been possible on the lists by status (accessed via the Progress tab). Now the lists by person and the lists by store can do it too. Also new is the ability to change the store for multiple gifts at once. It’s never been easier to keep track of what’s wrapped, shipped, and left to do.
