How itworks

Everything Sparkhop does, step by step, with no small print.

What is Sparkhop?

An app for wishlists. Save what you want, sort it into lists and show the people close to you.

They don’t have to guess, and you don’t get the same gift twice.

How do I add a wish?

In a store’s app or website, tap Share and pick Sparkhop, or copy the link and paste it into the app. The name, photo and price fill in from the page when the shop shows them. You can add the rest by hand.

Not everything has a link: add a trip, a dinner out or an idea by hand.

Prices stay in the shop’s currency, as you saw them.

How do I sort wishes into lists?

Make a list for each occasion: a birthday, a new home, a trip. On the home screen lists sit like folders; drag a wish onto the one you want.

A few lists are free. With Plus you can have as many as you like.

How do I share a list?

Open a list and tap Share. Anyone with the link can see it. Changed your mind? Reissue the link or revoke it.

Want to run a list together? Invite co-authors.

Who can see my wishes?

You decide who sees each list: send a link or invite a co-author.

You can make your profile private. Then nobody can open it by its link, and your lists are visible only to the people you shared them with directly.

Without signing in you can only look. To save wishes and share lists, you need an account.

How do friends know a gift is taken?

Only the people you shared a list with can mark its wishes: they tap “I will reserve it” or “I bought it”. Everyone else sees the mark and won’t buy the same thing.

By default a list is in Surprise mode: you don’t see what has been picked. In the list’s settings you can choose to see the status, or also the name of who bought it, if they agree to show it.

Where can I find ideas?

Inspiration is a feed of other people’s wishes: popular, new and sorted by topic.

Found something you like? Add it to your list.

Can I watch a price?

Yes, with Plus. Turn on price watch in a wish and choose what to watch for: any drop, or a price below the one you set.

When it gets cheaper, Sparkhop lets you know.

What do I get with Plus?

Plus is a subscription inside the app. You buy it through the App Store or Google Play and cancel it in your store settings.

  • As many lists as you like
  • Your own photos in wishes
  • Smart add by link, and import from complex pages
  • Smart search and automatic tags
  • Price watch and price-drop alerts

How do I delete my account?

In the app, go to Settings → Delete account. Your lists, wishes, photos and marks are deleted with it.

This doesn’t cancel Plus: cancel it in your App Store or Google Play settings.

Where do I get Sparkhop?

Sparkhop is for iPhone and Android. Get it from the App Store or Google Play.
