About Secret Santa App

You love the Secret Santa tradition. We too - but to draw lots for all the people in your Secret Santa group can be quite cumbersome. Also all members have to come together which is sometimes not possible.

So how about an automatic and fully random draw. And all members are informed via a SMS message.
Well, that exactly what this app does :)

How it works:
* Add people from your contacts to your 'SecretSanta' List and name them accordingly (how they should be named in your messages).
* (Optional) Change the message template
* Pressing The START button does the rest...
Now every Person randomly gets assigned to a partner.
Each person will then receive a SMS message that unveils whos Secret Santa he or she is going to be.

For more information about this tradition please visit the Secret Santa Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Santa).

(No warranty, use on own risk. And don`t be sad if you do not really like the present you got ;)

The app is simple and to the point! Everyone got their text messages and it was a secret to everyone else. The only thing I didnt like was that the host gets the messages for everyone so I had to make sure and delete them before I spoiled it for myself. Other than that, GREAT!

It keep prompting an error on Step 3 saying there's an invalid phone number. I updated the format of the # 4 different ways and it still wouldn't work. Plus the error prompt on Step 3 is on light gray font with a white background making it hard to read. Poor QA

I was unable to get everyone together for a secret santa. Once I downloaded it that task was done! Super easy and fast. Thank u

keeps saying theres an error when I try to send a message! I thought this app would actually work but it's such a disappointment. I totally don't recommend this app

I could use the contacts from my phone, but instead of using the names I typed in, it adopted the names I have them saved under. There were warning messages that you couldn't read because the color of the text blended in with the background. There was no way to add another list, and did not like that I was texted all the messages with everyone's pick.

Didn't work on my s6

It only sends two sms and I have to resend until the whole group received it

Didn't send messages to everyone. I have to do it for a fourth time.

*BE AWARE THE TEXTS ARE ADDRESSED FROM YOU TO EACH PERSON.* So your text thread will show you who everyone got. I avoided reading the end of the text that showed who their SS was. My family lives in different places, and since we're all coming together for X-Mas, I decided to use this app. I picked the group from my contacts, followed the directions, and within seconds everyone got their picks. It was simple and worked well.

Took forever entering. Then kept saying invalid phone number without letting me know which one. After 5 minutes i gave up guessing. Don't waste your time.

W70%
by W####:

In a family of 20 in ages ranging from 11 to 65, I needed an app that was simple and didn't need the use of the app or Internet or email for the recipients to get the name of the person they are to be Secret Santa to. Forewarned (from other reviews) that the SMS's would go from my phone and hence be accessible to me, I made sure I didn't open those SMS's. Yes, it would have been nice if the SMS's didn't go from your phone but this is a simple app that's free of cost so please don't expect the world.

I must be slow because for the life of me I couldn't get this to work at all.

by D####:

The app sends texts to phone numbers, but I wanted to send to email addresses. Also, I wanted to test it first with just one other person. It requires at least 2 people other than myself.

V70%
by V####:

It failed every single time. Does not send messages

N70%
by N####:

It's simple easy and to the point, only thing I wish they didn't send me the text sent out to everybody in the group... I had to delete all the messages without looking at who everybody had and ruining it
