Getting started
How to set up Reservish, and answers to common questions
A quick start guide plus straight answers, all based on the app's own listing.
The steps below follow the flow described in the live App Store listing (checked 2026-09-22); the answers cover cost, platforms, sign-in, privacy and languages exactly as the listing states them, with nothing invented.
Step 1 — Install Reservish
Install Reservish from the App Store; it needs an iPhone on iOS 16.0 or newer.
Step 2 — Sign in without a password
Sign in with your email and the six-digit code sent to you — there is no password to create.
Step 3 — Create a wishlist
Create a wishlist for an occasion: birthday, Christmas, wedding, or new home.
Step 4 — Add wishes
Add wishes: paste a product link for automatic name/photo/price, or add by hand with a photo, price, quantity, and description. Unfinished links wait in Drafts.
Step 5 — Set visibility, follow and reserve
Set each list's visibility — public, friends-only, or private — add friends or follow public profiles to see a feed of their newest wishes, and ask friends to reserve items secretly so gifts don't get doubled up.
