Delighted to see it hanging in with each new version of iOS. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2023-04-20* I have had this app for years and it is like seeing an old friend at Christmas time. ### 5/5 — Great Christmas app *2020-01-24* This was one of my first iPhone apps and it’s so much fun! I always open it before Christmas and watch it grow, get decorated, etc. Apps come and go, but this one endures. Thanks for keeping this simple and playful app updated throughout the years! ### 5/5 — Christmas *2019-12-01* This is awesome. I Ken have a Christmas tree on my phone. But, it needs updated ### 5/5 — Such a fun app! *2018-01-28* I had this one for quite a while until the newer phones started coming out. I was so glad they updated this app so that I could have it again! It makes me feel like a kid at Christmas for some reason. LOVE the app! ### 5/5 — This is a classic *2018-01-20, version 1.4.14* Love this little app! I have it on my phone all year. ### 5/5 — Really like it *2017-11-18* Got (sorry) this app eons ago for my 3rd gen iPod touch. Have used it on every device since. Anytime there's been a bug or issue, they have fixed it. It's cute and simple. From the adding of gifts each day under the tree before Christmas to the little bear at the stump after the holiday season has ended, this app is fun to watch. ### 5/5 — Merry Christmas *2017-10-20* I love this App and I wish you could update it before Christmas, because I need every that says Merry Christmas. What I don’t understand is that some ape liberal has to ruin Christmas just to please the baboon of atheist, who apparently, has a bad childhood and wants the rest to suffer. This App is the closest thing in The App Store that I can find, so please update it soon !!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-08-19* Please update this app to work with IOS 11. I have had this app for a long time and use it every day. I love it!!! I don't want to lose it! ### 5/5 — Cute app. *2015-01-01* I've had this app for many years. I enjoy it very much. ## Frequently asked questions about iTree ### What does the iTree app do? iTree is a virtual snow globe featuring a 3D Christmas tree that changes its appearance and adds festive elements on specific dates leading up to and after the holidays.
