You still get ads-on-launch. ### 2/5 — Snows, on live but not saved images *2016-12-03* No way to choose a photo, you have to use real time through the iPhone camera. You have three options: flip camera, amount of snow, show me ads (along with the constant click ads). ### 2/5 — Three Types of Snow & No Photo Capability *2014-12-06, version 1.9.1* The following options are available for FREE: - Three types of snow - The ability to view your surroundings as if through a snow globe. In app purchase required in order to take a photo with snow effect. Note: Adverts pop up ever five seconds unless upgrade is purchased. ### 4/5 — Great effect. Needs video *2014-10-02* It does what it says, and looks great. Would be wonderful if it could capture video, since that is really where the effect comes to life. ### 3/5 — Amazing potential - Needs fix *2013-11-27* Didn't realize how realistic the snowfall was till I really started to play with this. Works awesome with the iPads tilt sensors- when you aim up the snow appears to be coming at you, and the opposite for down. When you move around it tracks and flows around you. A video capture would be a wonderful feature, however, at this point the basic camera doesn't work to take snap shots without crashing the app. SO much potential, please fix! I want to love it! ### 3/5 — like the app but...... *2013-11-17, version 1.7* when i take a pic and then hit save or share it kicks me out of the app and the pic is not saved. would be 5 stars if i could save the pics i take with the app. plz fix cuz this is a really cool idea ### 4/5 — Snow!!! *2013-11-15, version 1.7* I love this app! We don't get a white Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere, so this is the next best thing! ### 4/5 — OMG! *2013-05-15* OMG! This is like so cool I 💜 snow and now I can enjoy it all year round!! ### 2/5 — Snow *2013-04-11, version 1.6* Somewhat fun, but saving photos on facebook is not an option. ### 2/5 — I am spongebob destroyer of the chum bucket *2013-02-18* I know why the app company is called useless creations as this couldn't be more useless! It just crashes your ipad. ### 4/5 — Quite a good game *2013-02-07* It's not the most amazing game on the universe but still funny, especially when it's a sunny day, not the best graphics but I would give it a go, for the sake of a laugh! :) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-01-01* It's hardly free you have 2 pay to take a photo Not even worth one star but u have 2 put one ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can't even take a picture unless you upgrade. *2016-12-17* This app is not easy to use, and you can't even take a picture without upgrading to a paid version. What a waste of time ### 1/5 — Awful *2016-11-22* Can't even get the thing to work. Are you sure this is a virtual reality game? ### 1/5 — Terrible scam *2016-10-23* Can't take photos without spending money to upgrade. This needs to be taken right off the market immediately! Will be reporting and having friends and family and social media report this app! ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2015-12-24* It's useless unless you want to pay deleted ### 1/5 — Misleading *2014-12-23* Misleading app. Can't take pictures unless you pay for an upgrade!! Deleted ### 1/5 — Useless unless you pay! *2014-11-17* What's the point of the app unless you can take pictures? You can't unless you pay! Annoying ads too. About to be deleted from phone..... One star because I can't state zero. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-11-19, version 1.7* Pop-up ads cover the ability to take pictures. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Snow *2013-01-21* How is this realistic snow? Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Bad *2013-01-11, version 1.6* Bad ### 1/5 — Bug *2013-01-06, version 1.6* Nice app, but even with purchase of no-ad version, menu icons won't go away, which spoils the view, since they're sooo large. Please fix! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I think its cute! *2021-09-28* I like this app. It’s free or 1.39 to removed the ads. Not bad i dont think.
