What’s new
What changed in Wantalot recently, newest first. When an idea came from your feedback, we say so here. Send yours to hello@wantalot.app.
- Find it at: every Discover pick now has quick searches for it at Amazon, Walmart, Target and one more store that suits it. Add a wish shows the same stores under its results when what you want isn't there.
- Add from a photo asks if you saw it in a store. Pick Costco, Target or another big store and the wish saves with that store's link, using the store's item number from the box when there is one.
- Use a photo link: when a wish needs a picture no store shows, paste the address of one that's already online. Thanks to Velvet for the idea.
- Report this wish: if something on a shared list looks wrong, you can tell us about that one wish.
- My Wishlist is tidier at the top: search, share and settings are small buttons by the title, and filters live in one place.
- Sharing your list is shorter: Send to family and Copy link come first, and everything else is one tap away.
- Pick more than one collection at once in Filters. Whatever's on shows as chips under the buttons; tap one to take it off.
- Swipe a sheet down to close it.
- A gift card on someone's list with no store link now has Find it on Giftcards.com, so you can buy it in a tap.
- Your collections can show as tiles, each with photos of what's in it. Tap one to see its wishes, switch back to every wish any time, and put the tiles in the order you like. People giving from your list see the same tiles. Thanks to Velvet for the idea.
- Choosing a photo is clearer: a check marks the one you tapped, Use this photo stays in reach, and closing asks before dropping your pick. Thanks to Velvet for the idea.
- List names stay exactly as you typed them, without an extra "list" tacked on. Thanks to Velvet for the idea.
- Saving from a store page shows the price, size or color and a note to fill in, with whatever the page told us already filled.
- A price you type on an Amazon wish now shows to the people giving from your list.
- Pasted links fill in prices from more stores, and when a store blocks us, the wish says so and how to add the details.
- A quick menu on your own wishes. Press and hold on a phone, or right-click on a computer, to edit a wish, move or copy it, mark it as received or remove it. Thanks to brideofseitan for the idea.
- Choose a photo. If a wish has the wrong picture or none, pick another from the store's page or from the same item at other stores. Thanks to brideofseitan for the idea.
- Wishes saved from small shops and eBay now come with a photo more often. Thanks to brideofseitan for the idea.

- Wishes brought over from mywishlist.online now open the real store pages.
- The iPhone app is on the App Store.
- Discover reads each product's own details to check it fits, asks which model a part is for (phone cases, watch bands, printer ink), and can tune ideas for a list you run, like a child's.
- Etsy products in Discover and in Find at other stores, which also checks more stores.
- Secret Santa organizers can keep a wishlist for someone without an account, like Grandma, so whoever draws her has something to shop from.
