I love this and have downloaded the old version but would be nice to hear some new tunes! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-04-13* So lovely and peaceful and put me so much in the mood for Christmas even though it is only April haha xD Can't wait to use this is December! ### 5/5 — Really Enjoyable Classical Advent Calendar *2014-12-01, version 1.1.1* I accidentally downloaded this for this year (2014) and wondered why all the dates worked!! It is a lovely app and I am so enjoying clicking on the dates of Dec and hearing church choir music each night in bed. So relaxing. Love this app, so glad I found it by accident. ### 5/5 — Thank You Naxos! *2014-01-08, version 1.0.0* The music is lovely, the idea is lovely, and the graphics are charming. ### 5/5 — Beautiful! Love it! *2013-12-23, version 1.0.0* I have an iPhone 4S and this app has worked great. It has the most beautiful classical Christmas music. I have thoroughly enjoyed it! Looking forward to next year's. ### 5/5 — Absolutely Delightful! *2013-12-15, version 1.0.0* What a pleasure to be able to listen to a different classical piece each day of Advent. The music is beautiful, and I am glad to see so many 'heavy' classics among the pieces selected. It is also nice to be able to go back and replay them as many times as wanted. I can't thank you enough for this delightful Advent calendar app. ### 5/5 — Perfect App for Advent *2013-12-10, version 1.0.0* What a joy to discover this - a musical Advent calendar with a new piece of beautiful music every day before Christmas. (Which you can purchase if you want to through iTunes) For anyone who appreciates classical Christmas music - or who just wants some reliefs from the usual holiday Muzak piped in stores, this is a wonderful app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2013-12-10, version 1.0.0* This is wonderful!!! Beautiful background and the music is lovely. Provides a link to iTunes if you want to buy the song. ### 5/5 — Lovely *2013-12-09, version 1.0.0* Nice app. Lovely way to count down to Christmas. I get to enjoy a new gem or old favourite every day. It doesn't use data to listen while I'm out and about, which is great. I have already told everyone I know with an i-device about it. ### 5/5 — Thanks Naxos! *2013-12-08, version 1.0.0* Wonderful app, as only Naxos can do with such class. ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-12-08, version 1.0.0* Great pieces, and a wonderful way to count down the days until Christmas! ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2013-12-02, version 1.0.0* Great App, beautiful classical Christmas music. I'm looking forward to it every day. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Thanks for the app *2013-12-01, version 1.0.0* Love it so far. I like that I can buy the songs if I like them enough.... But don't have to. Good app. Thanks. ### 5/5 — It's Christmas : ) *2013-12-01, version 1.0.0* Had a good look at all the apps on offer then this one caught my eye being a musical one so I was every happy when I opened December the 1st beautiful song got me right in the Christmas mood happy days : ) ### 5/5 — Festive musical fun *2013-12-01, version 1.0.0* Day one click on the number great quality sound of Once in royal David's city plays. Love it....looking forward to the rest of the month ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 2/5 — Cute little Christmas app *2015-12-13, version 1.1.2* It doesn't let you download the music behind the door each day😩 Very disappointing. ### 4/5 — Beautiful! *2013-12-01, version 1.0.0* What a joy this musical advent calendar is! Each day of advent, you are presented with a musical piece to enjoy. Being the first of December, we were treated with "Once in Royal David's City" from Gabriel's Message. Each piece is played in full. There are unsecured links to iTunes for each piece and to other apps by this developer, so I would definitely play this with a child. These are usually deal breakers for me, however this app contains great exposure to some of the world's most beautiful music. Some of the promised pieces include selections from Vivaldi, Mozart and Handel. I have to admit, I tried to cheat to listen to more, but will have to wait. I am only giving 4 stars because of unsecured links, otherwise it would certainly be 5 stars. Recommended. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Lovely *2016-12-05, version 1.1.2* Best Advent calendar ever!
