### 2/5 — Would Be Higher Rating

*2022-12-14, version 1.10*

The app is nice to tell you about Christmas lights however you have to pay to get the address to where most the lights are located . I luckily found a few of the lights by googling the name and found the address

### 1/5 — Really bad app and bad people to take advantage like this

*2021-12-15, version 1.10*

This app is not applicable many places and the providers are scammers.  They offer a service for $20 a year yet also offer a $9 per week option for a whole lot of nothing.  It is unconscionable what they are doing, and I request a refund ASAP.

### 1/5 — How to Unsubscribe!

*2020-12-28, version 1.8*

After downloading the app and not being able to figure out how to unsubscribe from the free trial before I was charged, I called Apple. They told me to open the settings app on my phone, click my name at the top of the screen, go to subscriptions, click on the app, and cancel from there. Thanks to Apple I won’t be charged for an app that didn’t even show me Christmas lights in my area. Hope this helps!

### 1/5 — Do not use! Impossible to unsubscribe/cancel!!!!

*2020-12-24, version 1.8*

Tried the app because it said free three day trial, the nearest “lights” on the list were over an hour away. I have searched the entire app for contact information to cancel and it is impossible!!

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2020-12-24, version 1.8*

There are plenty of other Christmas light apps that don’t trick you into downloading for free and then charge you $30 for the year without any warning.  Reported to apple.  Save your money by using another honest app.  Would give zero stars.

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2020-12-22, version 1.8*

Don’t download. When realizing it wasn’t “free” after clicking “start FREE trial,” I immediately cancelled the subscription, I was still charged $29.99. What am I paying $29.99 for? There is also no one to contact. 😠

### 1/5 — Stealing your money

*2020-12-22, version 1.8*

You are automatically subscribed for 1 week at $8.99 that renews weekly.  But in the subscription section, you can change it to 1 month for only $1.49.

Not to mention the fact that the app is so glitchy.

This is a disgraceful app that I wish Apple would remove from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Mistake in purchasing

*2020-12-20, version 1.8*

As soon as I realized this app was to be purchased I immediately canceled the subscription but it still went through as a bank charge. I cannot seem to reach anyone from this app developer so I’m doing this review asking for my subscription to be canceled effective immediately and refund $29.99

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2020-12-20, version 1.8*

App only functioned long enough to collect the 8.99 subscription fee, then freezes on a picture of a house wearing a Santa hat. Please give me my money back

### 1/5 — $8.99 PER WEEK

*2020-12-20, version 1.8*

Don’t download this. You’ll get stuck paying $8.99 a week. I downloaded the app, subscribed, and now the app doesn’t work at all. When I click on the app it just shows the app icon on a grey screen. That’s it. Doesn’t load any app content whatsoever. I’ve tried turning my phone off and back on, closing out all my apps and retrying, everything I can think of. Pretty sure the app is bogus. It works when you first download it to tell you to purchase it then once you do it does nothing afterward.
