Wow, BUT… *2026-08-24, version 1.1.2* This app never ceases to amaze me and definitely deserves a 5 star review. I love how it can be used for more then just Christmas, BUT: it could be even better for paid members (TOTALLY WORTH IT BTW) if we could upload a image or vector (SVG) to turn the light design into so it could be used for even more things. But overall, GREAT app!!! 😊 ### 4/5 — Very good *2026-05-17, version 1.1.2* It’s a good app, but being able to exclude weekends from the countdown would be nice ### 4/5 — Update needed *2026-04-16* Count down needs fixing, getting a dark blue box with nothing else showing. Everything else seems to be working. ### 5/5 — Love it, Get it! *2026-01-09, version 1.1.2* Makes perfect sense ### 4/5 — Fun app on both iPhone & Mac *2025-12-21, version 1.1.2* This is a cute little app, I’ve supported on Mac and then iPhone since day one of release, it sets the festive mood. I do recommend the app but I leave off one star as I can’t get my widgets to show correctly without just being a white box. This may be an Apple issue rather than the dev, but I will amend once fixed. ### 5/5 — Widgets not showing up since update *2025-12-16, version 1.1.2* Worked perfectly on my 17 Pro until latest update. Now the widgets are coming up blank. Cannot figure out how to contact Support. Otherwise love the App! ### 5/5 — Best Festive Holiday App! *2025-12-11, version 1.1.2* I absolutely love the look and intention with this App. First bought it for my Mac and purchasing for iPhone was a no brainer. ### 3/5 — Cute and Broken *2025-12-04, version 1.1* I really love their macOS app and would love if iOS allowed for the snow but we all know that will never happen. However, I do really like this app. I do have three issue though… 1. The large sized widget never works and always shows a purple square (it does this in my iPhone, iPad mini, and iPad Pro). 2. The Medium sized widget really needs the ability to slide the image around inside the frame to determine crop. 3. The iPad needs an XL sized widget for the full width (in portrait orientation). ### 5/5 — Fantastic Christmas App …or any holiday! *2025-12-04* Gorgeous widgets for Christmas but also any holiday or event, with countdowns and transparency this app makes my home screen gorgeous. Can't wait to use it all year ### 5/5 — Funny and creative *2025-12-04* The perfect app to customize festivals widgets. Lots of presents , params and settings . Love that . Maybe add the possibility to customize lights bubbles with any emojis or png . ## Frequently asked questions about Festivitas ### What does Festivitas do?
