Made a whole page of widgets! Thank you and worth way more than my small $5 donation ### 5/5 — Fun! *2025-11-27* A lovely bit of whimsy for my Home Screen ### 5/5 — Happy holidays! *2025-11-26* What a brilliant approach and app. Love the sliding scale for payment what you want. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review! Happy holidays, Simon ### 5/5 — A Must-Have for Seasonal Fun! *2025-11-26* Festivitas is absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a simple one-time purchase, yet they keep delivering new, wonderful updates. It feels like the app just keeps getting better and better without asking for anything extra. The features are fun, the updates are thoughtful, and it’s become one of my go-to apps. Totally worth it! **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review! Happy holidays, Simon ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-25* I love the Mac version and the widgets on this version are great, it wood be cool if we can add apps to the clear widget and maybe a Christmas countdown **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review! I’ll consider the option to add a countdown. Happy holidays, Simon ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pointless app *2025-12-03* You can make a square with some lights in it. WOW ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-12-02* I followed all the steps and it doesnt work. ### 1/5 — Seems mostly broken- widgets not rendering on phone and iPad. *2025-11-30* On iPad large widget created in app does not render and just shows blank. On iphone 17 Pro Max a medium widget I created also doesn’t render and cannot be added to a stack. Widgets also don’t appear to synch via iCloud - which would have been a nice feature. ### 1/5 — No transparent in free version *2025-11-25* No transparent in free version so what to keep the app in free version ?! **Developer response:** Hi, The free version of Festivitas for iPhone lets you add and configure a single widget with a solid color of a background photo and put it on your Home Screen. This should give a sense of the app’s feature set and how it’ll look on your Home Screen. Creating several widgets and making widgets transparent require a one-time in-app purchase. Happy holidays, Simon ### 3/5 — Cute and Broken *2025-12-04* 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). ### 4/5 — Very good *2026-05-17* 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. ### 4/5 — Fun app on both iPhone & Mac *2025-12-21* 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. ### 4/5 — Add a little holiday cheer to your day *2025-11-26* Bringing a little smile to your face when you open your phone. A clever little app to bring holiday fun to your day **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the kind review! Happy holidays, Simon ### 5/5 — Love it, Get it! *2026-01-09* Makes perfect sense ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Widgets not showing up since update *2025-12-16* 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* I absolutely love the look and intention with this App. First bought it for my Mac and purchasing for iPhone was a no brainer. ### 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 . ### 5/5 — The prefect bit of holiday whimsy! *2025-12-04* Simon has hit a home run with the 2025 iteration of Festivitas. The new countdown timer is a great addition! Keep ‘em coming! ### 5/5 — Pimp your home screen *2025-12-03* A great app to get into the holiday spirit this season. I love it! ### 5/5 — ✨ Very clever idea for widgets ✨ *2025-12-02* I’ve enjoyed just playing this app as much as having having its widgets on screen 😜 Two things though: 1. I wish cable viz could be reduced to 0, especially for twinkling stars. 2. The app isn’t quite complete for iPad. For example, 1) it doesn’t offer a background transparency option when adding a new widget and 2) it doesn’t offer support for extra large widgets. ### 5/5 — Festive and fun! *2025-11-30* I enjoyed it for Thanksgiving and now I’m set for Christmas, this is too cool 😃 Lots of charm and whimsy, thank you for making this! 🎄 ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-11-30* I love it so much --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
