Love the music and sound effects. People should make more apps like these these days ### 5/5 — Great countdown *2026-06-09, version 2026.01* Usually on these types of apps you have to pay for literally every song but this one they are ALL free unless of course you want to put in your own but why would you want to do that when they already have the best royalty free covers of Christmas songs that everyone already knows and loves. ### 4/5 — Cool *2026-05-24, version 2026.01* Good app but has ads! ### 5/5 — Christmas  *2026-05-13, version 2026.01* This app is so cute! I love how you can customize to your liking and you can see on your Apple Watch. ### 4/5 — Christmas countdown *2026-05-11, version 2026.01* Cool, easy to follow ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-05-11, version 2026.01* Despite it’s simplicity, I love it! I have used this app for over a decade; I’m so happy to see it get updated recently. I have fond memories using this app over the years. I hope the developer continues keeping this amazing app up. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-04-28, version 2026.01* Great app!

I have used it for years to keep up with the up to the second time remaining to Christmas. On Christmas Day it wishes a “Merry Christmas” and then resets at midnight to countdown to the next Christmas. There are several in app adjustments that can be made to adjust appearances and sound to personal taste. This the app for anyone looking for an unobtrusive but reliable Christmas Countdown app. ### 5/5 — Ts *2025-12-19, version 2025.18* This apps helps ### 5/5 — Christmas countdown! *2025-12-18, version 2025.18* Love this app!

That was the biggest reason I purchased it because I had searched under Apple Watch app and I found this app. I am so glad I did. I love that you can customize the color of the app and now you can get different colors for the snow including rainbow. It’s so awesome! What could be better maybe Christmas. Thank you & Merry Christmas! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Saddened *2026-07-30, version 2026.01* I did the update and now my original image is gone snd I can't change the font or font color anymore. I have had this app for many years. So disappointing. ### 1/5 — User *2025-12-11, version 2025.18* Great!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-12-08, version 2025.18* It’s a cute countdown to Christmas, but you need a premium version to use the widget to view the countdown from your Home Screen. For that reason I deleted it pretty fast ### 1/5 — Trying To Charge Me Again *2025-12-03, version 2025.17* This was supposed to be a lifetime purchase. Now they are trying to charge me yearly. Really sneaky. ### 1/5 — Terrible app. *2025-11-03, version 2025.04* The whole point of me getting this app was so I could get a widget of how many days till Christmas but noooo, I have to purchase it. Do not get this app!!!1 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2025-11-02, version 2025.04* I paid for the premium subscription so I could have it on my home and lock screen and it’s still not working saying I need premium. When I open the app it shows the subscription will expire in a year but won’t give me the features. ### 1/5 — Cute but not share on my watch *2024-11-24, version 2024.17* 1 ### 1/5 — Only one song plays *2024-11-02, version 2024.16* i upgraded to premium and only jingle bells will play ### 1/5 — Disappointed in changes *2024-10-17, version 2024.15* Used to be MUCH better before this years update. ### 1/5 — Facebook fail *2015-09-01, version 1.25* Doesn't post to Facebook properly. Takes you to the app rather than show the pic with countdown. Waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Countdown to the Big Day *2026-09-08, version 2026.03* As a Christmas addict, this is perfect for me!! ### 5/5 — my fav *2026-09-06, version 2026.03* nostalgia for me i love the customisation too ### 5/5 — Holiday Cheer *2026-08-24, version 2026.01* This app is great.
