Been listening to it every Christmas season since! Thank you all for the wonderful entertainment. Merry Christmas from California! ### 5/5 — A Great App-All for Charity *2019-11-27, version 9.0.17* I’ve used this app for the past two Christmas seasons. For one thing, it’s great fun to hear Christmas from a distinctly European/Irish perspective (I’m in the US). For another, all of the DJs volunteer their time and use the station to raise money for a different, very worthy, charity each year. Well worth your time! ### 5/5 — Festive Fun! *2018-11-21, version 9.0.6* This is my second year of the app. I used it daily last year in the run up to Christmas and I had to make sure I had it again this year. Wonderful for creating a festive atmosphere, and it’s great to be able to switch between the different stations. Even before they go live, you can listen to the songs on loop. Even more amazing that it’s free and all run by volunteers. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — 🎄 *2018-11-14* Love Christmas FM!! It’s my go-to station during that holidays!! 😊👌🏻 ### 3/5 — Won’t play on other speakers *2018-11-03, version 9.0.2* Since the update it will not let me play this via Bluetooth or headphones and will only play out of my phone speakers which is really annoying. The station itself is class ### 1/5 — Oh dear *2014-12-09, version 5.84* Just downloaded this, crashes every time I try to open it ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2014-12-02, version 5.84* I would of payed for this app. Love it every year. Keep up the great work, merry christmas all!!!! ### 5/5 — So glad you're back on air! *2014-11-30, version 5.84* I love Christmas FM! I'd actually have paid for this app is most/all of the app price went to this year's charity. Maybe a thought for next year? ## Frequently asked questions about Christmas FM ### What is Christmas FM?
