Whatever waste of tissue made this shall have raw milk and paprika dumped into their water bottle. ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* I was originally using the website and it was great but on Christmas Day low and behold I must download the app the see my messages. Once I downloaded the app I had two choices either pay for a hot coco for rudolf or watch “3 ads” which is actually 6! And this is all because Rudolph worked so hard to deliver my messages and he deserved a treat…yeah right. Along with my messages I also got tons of ads throughout reading them. This whole app is just trying to sell you stuff and make you watch ads. Do NOT recommend. ### 1/5 — Don’t download this *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* This app just wants you to watch ads and ads to get a butt load of money and that’s all this app is for and in exchange they get to “pass” messages. Just keep it in the website… it wasn’t this bad last year ### 1/5 — Adds *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* Waste of time and way too many adds ### 1/5 — Buggy, Ad filled mess *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* I was using the website, which barely worked, and then it told me I had to either wait 24 hours to see my tree, or download the app to see my messages. Come to find out, I either have to PAY to see the messages my own friends left me, or i have to watch ads? Absolutely insane. Cute idea, greed execution. Don’t waste your time, just ask for christmas cards instead. ### 2/5 — what a cute little app! *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* i sure hope it doesn’t make me watch a bunch of ads before letting me see my ornaments! oh… ### 1/5 — i hate you *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* everyone involved in the making of this app will begin to cough in 2 days ### 1/5 — Have you no shame?? *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* It's genuinely just a mouthful of ads everywhere, seriously?? ### 1/5 — Egregious amount of ads *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* Genuinely absurd how many ads i had to sit through. Never using this kind of thing again. I shouldn’t have to watch 7 ads back to back just to look at some damn messages ### 2/5 — Ads ads and more ads *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* This app shows maybe 2 ads every 5 secs. You can open your messages on Christmas, but first you need to either watch 6 ads ( disguised as 3 ) or buy the developers something ### 1/5 — Are you serious? *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* Let me go through the process for a whole month on browser, only to lock the messages received until AFTER Christmas unless I get your app. Fine. I download app, and the damn thing won’t even open? Just an orange error screen. Which I could avoid if I was allowed to see the damn messages on browser instead of your ad-infested app. Scummy as hell. ### 1/5 — Terrible quality *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* It said watch 2 adds to open tree. It made me watch 12+ and still wouldn’t let me open it. ### 1/5 — advertisement slop *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* eat me ### 2/5 — malo y bueno *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* es una muy buena aplicación pero piden ver 6 anuncios para que puedas ver las cartas que te dejaron o pagar para verlas, horrible ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* Absolutely RIDDLED with ads. If you don’t buy a donation it makes you watch 9 ads PER MESSAGE. This is ridiculous! I just wanted to see the messages left by my friends! ### 1/5 — bad :( *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* you can’t be this desperate for ad revenue i swear to god. if you’re gonna force me to watch ads at least make the app functional after i do so, just wanted to read my friends’ messages and instead i find a sorry attempt at coaxing me into spending money :( ### 1/5 — DONT FALL FOR THIS *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* I can’t read my messages, I got many messages and I was excited but I looked on the website, it said I had to download the app to see my messages. So obviously I decided to download it, I logged in, and I was so many adds. It never let me view my messages it’s just a loop. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS, DONT GOVE THESE A-HOLES MONEY. ### 1/5 — Fix this *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* Fix this ### 1/5 — Ew *2025-12-24, version 1.1.0* واقعا خیلی بد هستید من اینهمه ذوق داشتم نامه هامو ببینم حالا می‌گه نامه ها ماله من نیستن وا؟؟؟؟ ### 3/5 — Cute but needs improvement *2025-01-31, version 1.0.22* This app was a good idea. I used it a couple years ago and it was so fun! Unfortunately, I came back to use it a couple days ago and it wouldn’t let me make a new tree. I tried again today and my app just froze. If a couple updates were made, this would be a great app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — bro fix this app *2026-06-21, version 1.1.0* Honestly this is a pretty good app idea except the way it was made SUCKS it so laggy and inaccurate just read all the other 1 star reviews and they tell u exactly wats wrong with this app 😤 ### 1/5 — If I could give this 0 stars I would *2026-01-07, version 1.1.0* DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!! I used the website all through December and guess what!? On Christmas, I had to download the app to see my messages. Fine, whatever. I download the app, and an ad pops up. Annoying, but expected. Then a pop-up saying that Rudolph is ‘so tired’ from delivering messages and he needs a treat! They give you the option to either buy something for Rudolph or watch 3 ads. What they don’t tell you is that the 3 ads is actually 6 ads!! I choose to watch the ads, and afterwards, whenever I tried to click on my messages, it would give me the same pop-up!! This app is a complete scam! Do NOT download ### 1/5 — horrible app *2026-01-03, version 1.1.0* i waited the whole month of december just to see the 20 messages that my friends wrote me, just to see that i have to download the app. ofc i downloaded it bc i had been waiting a while to see the messages that my friends wrote for me. after i downloaded the app, it said that I had to watch an ad or pay to see the messages. i was already rlly annoyed at that point bc I HATE ads but whatever. i watch the ads and finally after 6 of them it says I can see my messages. you know what? IT DELETED ALL OF THEM. the one thing I was looking forward to was gone. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING *2025-12-26, version 1.1.0* On Christmas, I was excited to open tree messages on the site and I had to download the app in order to check them. I did that, and now everytime I open the app, it says “service is unavailable”. I tried checking in between hours after hours and it STILL says service is unavailable. How am I supposed to check the messages on my tree my friends wrote for me? Soooooooo frustrating. Do better please. ### 1/5 — now why would you do this *2025-12-26, version 1.1.0* last year, this website was great. there was a bit of traffic, sure, but it was fine. now we have to watch a bunch of ads instead of just putting an optional donation. ### 1/5 — one star cuz theres no 0 *2025-12-26, version 1.1.0* youre better off just staying on the website and waiting the extra day. there’s an ad every second and not in a exaggerated way. ### 1/5 — literally awful *2025-12-26, version 1.1.0* i decided to have my own deco tree this year after getting links from friends in the past and i was excited to open my letters/ornaments today because the whole concept of the tree is you don’t open the messages till christmas right? well i go to open the messages on the website and it makes me download the app OR i can open the messages on the 26th so tmrw. i decide to download the app and i am met with an ad. after the ad “rudolph” tells me either buy someone a coffee???? OR watch 3 ads. anyways i watched the ads and rudolph says the same thing AGAIN. keep in mind these ads were decently length and i assumed it would be worth my time. I THOUGHT WRONG! such a waste of time and effort when i have no success in even seeing my messages from my friends. i would not recommend wasting your time on this app, yes the idea seems fun and cute but in reality it’s waste of time and an absolute disappointment if you’re expecting to actually open your messages on christmas day. i will try again tmrw on the website but i’ll be very shocked if it actually allows me to see my messages. awful app. also i have an issue with using it while connected to wifi, i have to disconnect my wi-fi and use my data anytime i go on their website or app which isn’t that big of a deal but definitely something they should fix. and it’s not because i have bad wi-fi because it’s the only app that does that to me and my friends have the same issue. ANYWAYS DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!! ### 1/5 — Evil app *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* I couldn’t even log in to my tree to see the messages and why do you have to download the app you can do everything but see the messages on the website. This is not a good app it’s easier to go ask the people that left you the messages what they wrote. ### 1/5 — the app doesn't work. isn't that interesting... *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* the only day the app needs to be used— the “service is unavailable”. ### 1/5 — Ad Infested App *2025-12-25, version 1.1.0* You're better off just waiting till Dec. 26th to read your letters; the app is infested with ads, and it forces you to watch one before you can even watch the 3 ads for Rudolph. Cute concept, does NOT need *this* many ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app 😊 *2024-12-24* Sometimes around the holidays it’s hard to feel loved by your friends but this app helps me out with that so much! I love how the app spreads positivity and it gives me another reason to look forward to christmas!!! I genuinely really like the idea of this app and I’m so excited to see what people wrote to me! There is one thing that isn’t huge but it confuses me a little haha, on the home screen it says the app has 1 notification but i’ve opened the app and looked and the “1 notification symbol” stays there. Might be a me problem hahah! Overall, totally recommend this app i think it’s so cute! ### 5/5 — Love *2024-12-11* I love the idea but when my friends send to me it takes me to safari and then loads… I had it load for a hour then got the app. Still doesn’t work ☹️ hope they can fix. ### 5/5 — Love it! 💚🎄❤️ *2024-12-01* Such a clever idea I love the cute little ornaments and how people can write things! Maybe next year you could add some new designs for the ornaments? Overall such a cute and fun game!!! ❤️💚🤍🎄 ### 5/5 — FREE APP *2023-12-25* - This app is super cute. It’s a nice thing to try with friends and it gets me excited about receiving the letters on Christmas 😊! I def recommend this because it totally made me smile :) ### 5/5 — Cute! *2023-12-25* Cute concept for the holidays, maybe if they added more holiday options people would come back more ### 4/5 — . *2024-12-30, version 1.0.22* Buena ### 4/5 — Email/phone number *2024-12-25* Instead of using our email could we change it to a phone number because my email doesn’t work and I’m trying to look at what people sent me but I can’t because I don’t remember my password so could we change it from being your email to your phone number. Please thank you have a merry Christmas ### 4/5 — NEW FEATURE PLS *2024-12-25* So i have friends (unfortunately for me at least) and they sent me their trees and it's Christmas but I can only read my messages so I wish there was a feature that you could switch to your friends' tree and read their messages ### 4/5 — The best but a suggestion *2024-12-21* Okay so yes the adds but I don’t get them so idk why people are complaining. I think you should add were you can put a widget on your Home Screen of your tree. That would be so cool. ### 4/5 — Loveee *2024-12-14* I love it I just wish you could add your contacts and see ur friends trees without having to got on the website --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
