wish list service review for Addwish Back
WishSimply - 2019.07.19 at 17:44:43
Next wishlist service that we will review and include
in our wishlist comparison table is the Addwish from
Denmark. It is an own wish list service, but also part
of the hello retail products.
Let's see how this web service works, and then where
it stands in terms of functionality in the following paragraphs.
How it Works
Sign in
First off, this wish list webpage has a simplistic interface, which allows the user to glance
easily throughout it. However, nothing is visible about the service itself so we will need to
create account first to see if we like the service. The button to sign up stands out with the
radiating green color and white text.
They’ve centered the possibility for users to sign up
as soon as they enter the page, by providing a
transparent rectangle box. There you can write in
your name and email right off. You don’t even need
to write a password to be able to sign up, which is
both confusing and a state of user catharsis. It can result to a pleasant user experience for
some, and rather horrendous to others. It all comes down to the persona using it.
For those that wonder it, the password will be emailed to the given address. If you leave
there a wrong email address, you cannot login to the service second time, so be careful.
On the other had it also gives you possibility to check the service first without giving your
password to the,
Create a list

2. When you get directed to the main
page, you are given the option of
creating a new list, and naming it. You
can then go to your list or start
searching up different items from their
selection by clicking the green
inspiration button or tab. This part of
the service is similar to a shop, but you
store items of your choice to your wish
list instead of your shopping cart.
Share a list and add items
If you view your wish list, you will be able to see ways how you can share your wish list.
You can do that with sending a personal link yourself, or share it through the service by
using Facebook or Email.
There are no adds exposed throughout this process, which brings along a rather
benevolent feeling. When you further on inspect their privacy policies, however, it says
“Advertising Banners- Addwish provides the creative for banner advertising in cooperation
with its partners”, so it falls in eventual contradiction. No points for not showing ads, as
they reserved the right to show them and they could be visible at any point. Also the one
big point for including the point for not showing the ads, was to reserve the screen for the
wishes. Here that is not the case, as they have own internal "ads" taking the screen estate.
You can download addwish as an application in your iPhone and Android gadget. You can
make as many wishlists as you want, you can invite all your friends, family, and
acquaintances alike. Adding the products you desire to your wish list is easy. You just write
the name of the wish and then pick it up from their selection or click the 'manually add
wish' button. If you select the manual option you can add image, price, link and
description. All are optional fields. No bookmarklet is provided to help that work.
Second visit
On the second visit the first screen
looks bit crowded. There are big
elements asking you to change
password, connect to facebook, invite
friends, or creating a new list. Your
actual list is the tiny box on the top
right corner (Marked with green box on the attached
image). Click the box and then you can see
your list taking the whole page. On top of the page are customization and sharing options
and at the bottom (barely visible) are your wishes.
Privacy
The website uses cookies and they make you aware from the second you enter it. They
also use third-party affiliate partnerships. No points from it. Site is SSL protected,

3. therefore your communication with them is safe regarding that aspect. Points from that.
In today’s time, the privacy of your data remains of the most detrimental factors when
using a website or choosing not to use one. User Experience experts determined that
privacy is one of the pivotal features that either tackles users all over the world to like a
product or hate it.
When one fathoms about it, they do not give a lot of respect for privacy. User information
is immediately shared with Facebook and Google analytics, although they say in their
privacy policy that it is not transferred to anybody. They do have a long privacy policy that
is written in small font. In that policy they also reserve right to sell your user information
to anybody as a part of business transaction (e.g. in case they would decide to sell user
management to 3rd party). They also use 3rd party services and tell users to get familiar
with their privacy policies without telling when the links will lead outside their service.
They have also reserved right to change the privacy policy as they want and not to notify
you about it. You are supposed to monitor their web site for the changes. No points for
respecting privacy.
Scaling Web Pages and provided languages
As mentioned earlier, this wish list service provides applications
for your gadgets (iPhones, Android phones). If you use it from the
browser of choice on your phone, it will scale the web page nicely
to your phone’s screen. (Screenshot of the mobile screen visible on the right.)
It stands decently in terms of languages. Other than English, it
provides German, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian
translations. Although Danish, Swedish and Norwegian are close
to each other (so much that the people can understand those
languages cross) that is the most languages what any wish list
service that we have reviewed so far has provided. Points from
multi language support.
Log-In Methods
Addwish is versatile regarding this, offering two login methods. Normal email and
password option, and Facebook login. If user would happen to forget his password, it can
be requested from the service.
It tracks the items you have purchased, which is also a huge advantage. What it fails to do
is offer private lists. All the list are by default public and there is no password to protect
the list.
The "surprise me" functionality is also present. Wish list creator is not able to see if any of
the wishes are reserved unless he will "cheat" and use the public link.
Other Features
Unfortunately, if you decide to purchase an item with your group of friends, addwish
won't prove much of a help. It does not support group purchases, only individual ones. No
points from that service.

It's visual design is aesthetically pleasing, and the web provides overall simplified icons.
Modern Innovative UX/UI Design Concepts are definitely present, something you can
imply from the interface.
I didn't come across any extra functionality feature, unless opportunity to subscribe
reminders for birthday and Christmas are not counted. Otherways it is a rather pleasing
site for wish list creating and experiencing a decent online shopping experience.
Cheers,
