### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-12-04, version 1.1.2*

This is by far the most enjoyable. Classical Christmas music each day, no other distractions just a wonderful advent calendar through this season. Layout is very nice. GREAT job developers. Look forward to this again in 2023

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2021-11-25, version 1.1.2*

This is the most beautiful musical advent calendar I’ve ever experienced. I’ve used it for several years now and it never gets old. Of course, as a musician I love the classical music. It makes waking up to a new day during the stressful holidays so much more empowering.

### 5/5 — Great app, no ads

*2020-12-05, version 1.1.2*

What a wonderful way to start my day during the Advent season. Its nice to have a non intrusive link to purchase the daily song if I want to do that. Can't say enough about how pleasant an experience this provides me each morning. I'm now on day 5.

### 5/5 — Excellent app for the season

*2020-12-01, version 1.1.2*

If you like Christmas, history, and music...this is the app for you! Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Download this every Advent!

*2020-11-29, version 1.1.2*

I love this app! The music is beautiful and it’s like a daily gift to yourself as you journey towards the celebration of Christmas! It’s a wonderful accompaniment to the Advent season! Thank you for this!

### 5/5 — Terrific

*2019-12-08, version 1.1.2*

This is absolutely fabulous. Thank you for providing it.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-12-05, version 1.1.2*

My 3 year old clicks on it year round to look for his favourite pieces of music.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2018-12-04, version 1.1.2*

This app is great!  The music is gorgeous.  It is so nice to stop what I’m doing for 3-4 minutes a day to enjoy a beautiful Christmas song.  Love it!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-12-21*

Lovely and cute( ´▽` )ﾉ

### 2/5 — Don't enjoy the music

*2017-12-05, version 1.1.2*

It's a great idea, well designed and great that it links to iTunes so you can purchase the songs. It's downfall is that all the songs I opened were choir music. Not my style.
