GiftShopper 1.0 for iOS - Stylish Gift Management App Featured by Apple

December 9, 2011 in Finance

[prMac.com] Budapest, Hungary - The Gamma Project today is pleased to announce GiftShopper 1.0 being featured by Apple on iTunes homepage, in the New and Noteworthy section. Giftshopper - available since Dec 5, 2011 - is their new, stylish app for collecting, organizing and sharing your gift ideas. The app tracks your purchases and ensures that you stay within your gift giving budget. It's ideal for Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations and other special events.

GiftShopper will keep all your gift ideas and spendings clear, organized and instantly comprehensible. You will never forget a person or a gift again! GiftShopper shines in its simplicity of usage and design, while providing an outstanding user interface. With a clean user interface, the app includes no instructions for use; all operations are intuitive and trouble-free.

You can easily manage your gift lists in four simple steps. When first starting the application, you get a straightforward instruction to enter your gift budget. The app automatically retrieves your home currency from your device's settings, so you don't ever have to bother with it.

Once your budget is set, another hint will instruct you to add the persons you want to buy gifts to. The UI to enter the recipients is very lean and easy to use: you can type in a name, or select a person from the iPhone's Contacts, which is a handy addition. After adding the recipients, composing the gift list is also very simple: just add the gift's description, price and a photo - none of these are mandatory, though. For example you might want only to record the photo of the planned gift as an idea. When assigning photos to a gift you can take a photo or load an image from your Photos Library.

Once the gift list for a given person is ready, you can mark items as purchased by simply tapping on the circle icon. If all items are marked as purchased, the app will automatically mark the given person with a visible checkmark. This way you can instantly see whether you've bought all the planned gifts for everybody.

The main UI contains all the information you need to track your gift or souvenir spending. You can instantly see how many gifts you've purchased, and how much money you've spent by person and in total. The progress bar on the top shows how much you've spent from the planned budget, and it turns red if you've exceeded it. A nice feature is that you can share your gift lists via email. The email includes your gifting database as a nicely formatted html, in plain text and csv - the latter format can be edited in your preferred spreadsheet application.

* Full iOS 5 compatibility
* Polished user interface, optimized for retina display
