Elfster Customer Insights

1. I love the choice of vendors a d categories are so helpful, the best? I can add a like to an item from a site that maybe isn't part of elfster!While I agree with others that the concept is great, it is really difficult to add specific items to your wish list through the app.

2. It's not easy to add items to a wish list in that there's extremely limited filter features, yes, you can copy a link for another site but a lot of times it doesn't populate a picture of the item.

3. I use a Samsung s9 phone.Really convenient to have this in a mobile friendly format, keep me logged in, and send push notifications of updates to my Exchange! Only thing I wish for is Etsy connection to be included in filters, and for the search function within Etsy connection at both website and app to be a little more clear on it's searchability.

4. I haven't had too many problems with the app, but it's missing some features the website has like rearranging the order of items in your wishlist, choosing which photo you want displayed with the item, and being able to write your own text if linking is too difficult for some.Good app to manage the drawing of names and such.

5. Easy to use app that you can add a link from any website to your wish list.

6. I do love being able to do a family gift exchange yearly...just wish they would upgrade standard functionality.I recommend using the actual website instead of the app.

7. Google your item works faster and just link it to your wish list.

8. Adding things to a wish list is much better through the website, and I kind of wish I could simply import a whole Amazon wish list.

9. Also, when adding items to your list from a website, please allow the ability to actually type in or paste and go to a website and not just through the search engine.

10. Plan a lot of time to create your wish list.

11. I have set up a general list with my likes in the notes and a link to Google search.
