I don’t know if I like it because I just started using the app… ### 3/5 — Map freezes *2021-12-12, version 2.2* I loved this app last year and thank you for creating it! With the latest version, the map freezes after I tap and open one of the marked houses. It unfreezes if I tap on list view and then go back to map view again. *** update: now fixed, thank you! ### 3/5 — only giving review because it pops up constantly *2021-12-10, version 2.1.0* any time i “like” a house, it asks you to rate the app. annoying! otherwise it’s a good way to find christmas lights. ### 5/5 — Perfection! *2021-12-02, version 2.1.0* As a kid, I always enjoyed driving around looking at everyone’s holiday lights just as much as I enjoyed decorating to bring joy to others. When I used to live in a small town, it was easy to know which neighborhoods/homes were decorated for the holidays; but after moving to a bigger city 6 years ago, I had no idea the best places to go and/or I wouldn’t be able to see them all. I saw this app mentioned in a decorating group and immediately downloaded it and added my home. I shared the app in a local light display group and my area is now filling up the map and it makes it so easy to see where the homes are and navigate to them! The developer is also very responsive and supportive! I decided to download a few similar apps just to see how they stacked up…. Immediately deleted them! There’s not a better one! Download this today and convince your town/city to do the same, you won’t regret it! ### 2/5 — Can’t use unless you enable location services *2021-12-01, version 2.0.2* I understand location services enhance the app’s operation; however, it is completely useless unless you enable them. Would be great if you could still access the map without enabling them. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-11-30, version 2.0.2* This is a terrific idea. Would like to see it used for other holidays starting with Halloween! I think just as many houses are decorated for Halloween! Possibly use it for other holidays/seasons! ### 5/5 — It’s kind *2021-11-28, version 2.0.2* Of neat! You should definitely try it. I hope it builds up and people use it more. I like how you can interact. ### 5/5 — Amazing 🎅🏻🎁🌲 *2020-12-26, version 1.8* It’s pretty simple. This is the best app (and probably the only app) for seeing Christmas lights. Easy to use. Great idea! Merry Christmas!! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2020-12-25, version 1.8* Amazing idea and the developer is very open to feedback! Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t Save *2025-12-07, version 6.1.1* Tried multiple times to enter house information on iPhone and it won’t save. The save button stays greyed out. Double checked to make sure all fields completed. ### 1/5 — Faulty App *2024-12-31, version 5.0.5* App keeps crashing no matter updating and restarting phone. Can’t load app at all. ### 1/5 — Not many houses… *2023-12-19, version 4.0.9* I live in a big city and there are only 5 houses listed in a 45 mile radius… I’m not sure if the app is working right? ### 1/5 — Bad tracking *2023-12-03, version 4.0.5* The app send me to NY ### 1/5 — Hard to use *2022-12-08, version 3.0.2* Very difficult to use. Freezes a lot. Cannot filter to specific areas or neighborhoods. Very very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Map not working *2021-12-26, version 2.4* Map throws some error ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-11-28, version 2.0.2* All I get is an opening screen. It tells me Santa will know if I’m naughty or nice, but there is nowhere to go! 😫 ### 1/5 — Confusing *2020-12-14, version 1.6* Very difficult to navigate through. I added my own home and it didn’t seem to work or show conformation that it was added to the app. ### 2/5 — Won’t open *2024-11-28, version 5.0.2* Good app last year but won’t open for me now. Just flashes and closes. Reinstalled but same issue ### 2/5 — House not showing on the map *2023-12-13, version 4.0.8* This is my 3rd year using the app. The first year was great. Got 35 visits. Last year when I activated my house it never showed up on the map. I sent a support email and never got a response. This year I ran into the same problem, house shows as approved and live but not appearing on the map. Sent in another support email and have not had a response yet. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-12-21, version 6.1.1* Very happy that someone made an app for this ### 5/5 — A must for the holiday season! *2025-12-06, version 6.1.1* This app is now forever apart of our family holiday traditions!! ### 5/5 — Find Christmas displays *2025-10-29, version 5.5.0* Great app to find Christmas display in any state. ### 5/5 — So Much Fun *2024-12-15, version 5.0.4* I love that it’s so easy to look up houses with Christmas lights.
