### 2/5 — Freezing

*2018-12-25*

This app froze 8 times...

### 2/5 — Where is the music?

*2017-12-30*

The story and visuals are great but where’s the music or read to me option? It’s selected and not working. iPad Pro 11.2

### 4/5 — Great app however...

*2017-12-25*

Wonderful graphics. I love the vintage look and feel to the book however, it froze three times, causing me to have to restart the app completely. Running a IPhone 8 with the most recent update so that isn’t the issue. A little frustrating having a app be a little glitchy after paying $4... otherwise I really like the look/“feel” of the story.

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2014-12-21, version 1.6*

But now the sound won't work.  I can't find the settings section to troubleshoot it.  Is it on mute? Who knows?

### 5/5 — 완성도가 높아요

*2014-02-12*

정말 정말 좋아요 
사놓고 매번 잘 보ㅗ고있어요

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2013-12-26, version 1.6*

Beautiful, simple as that!

### 5/5 — Night Before Christmas

*2013-12-20*

I've had this book for several years and my son loves all the interactive items in the story.  The narrator has a wonderful voice and is so pleasant to listen to.  One of my most favorite purchases!

### 4/5 — Great Christmas Classic well re-created

*2013-12-15, version 1.6*

Bought for my 7 year old granddaughter. She hasn't seen it yet, but I'm impressed. Great recreation of the old, classic story. And I think she'll love exploring all the touchable objects. I'm saving the fifth star for her vote.

### 5/5 — A lovely Christmas story

*2013-12-14*

I've always loved this rhyme and it is made more special with the interactive effects on each page. My grand kids were delighted with it

### 5/5 — Night Before Christmas interactive "book"

*2013-12-12*

Wonderful app to read or have read to your children!  It would have to be explained that the poem was written quite awhile ago and the graphics reflect that.  I think as young as 4 years old may be appropriate--the parent must decide. But it can be read in different ways several times so worth the price.  A nice gift maybe along with a big, nicely illustrated, hardcover version so they can continue to learn how to read, learn about poetry & storytelling, and thus, learn a bit about the evolution of the (English) written word.  I can see where children would get carried away not in the story just making the sounds. I'd recommend reading a hard-cover version first; then on another night, as a treat, bring out this version! They'll be happily surprised!  Nice, quality time before bed!  A treat for kids of all ages--<wink! wink>! ;)

### 5/5 — Charming

*2013-11-13*

Charming Christmas app.

### 5/5 — A great way to read this story!

*2013-11-07, version 1.5*

My 4 year old loves all the interactive features and we had fun discovering what each of the pages do. Love you loud crowd!

### 2/5 — this app is has login problems

*2013-10-21, version 1.5*

when i try to update this app it doesn't recognize  my apple id. All my other (200+) apps recognize it fine. Its not a huge problem, it just forces me to cancel an action multiple times, but it's annoying.

### 5/5 — Nite before Christmas

*2013-10-09, version 1.4*

Loved the book.

### 5/5 — Fun Fun Fun

*2013-10-07, version 1.4*

A Victorian Interactive Storybook. 
We Enjoyed it very much and we're even able to figure out the tabs.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2018-12-25*

This app crashed 10X in 2 min. I feel my money has been stolen.

### 1/5 — The sound has stopped working.

*2016-05-22, version 1.6*

On all four LoudCrow apps.

### 1/5 — NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS THEIR OTHER BOOKS!!!!

*2016-03-26*

Ummm, not sure that the amazing Loud Crow really thought this one thru this time...their Other books in the app store are OOAK amazing! 
I think what happened here was that they promised customers 6 new books by a deadline & threw these  together just in the nick of time! 
Sorry guys but this was disappointing. Installed then deleted...that's the end.

### 1/5 — Gi-ghan-tic.

*2012-12-04, version 1.3*

Holy moly - does it HAVE to be 600MB in size?  How about running some jpg compression software or something.

### 1/5 — PopOut! The Night Before Christmas

*2010-12-28, version 0*

Coloring was not bright and graphics were not appealing.Child did not want to see the complete book. Very disappointing!

### 1/5 — I didn't like

*2010-12-23*

I bougth but, I didn't like this book! The animation are so beautiful, but Sta. Claus (Saint Nicholas) are smooking!!!!???

### 1/5 — has anyone got this to load?

*2010-12-23*

Once I can get it to load, I'm sure it will be fab. At the moment it just blank screens me.  Someone please sort this.

### 1/5 — Night before Christmas,

*2010-12-17, version 1.1*

It does tell the story and if you touch a word, it will say it.  I didn't care for the drawings.  Santa doesn't look like Santa.  Just touching something to make it move isn't really enough.  Hopefully better versions will come out by next year.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2010-12-04, version 0*

Looks like it should be wonderful, but when I downloaded it there is no music, just the narrator.  If I can find out what happened to the background music and the sounds with the pictures, I suspect it will be as good as Peter Rabbit.

### 2/5 — sound no longer works

*2019-12-14*

used to work, but what was a great app seemingly isn’t supported anymore.

My grandchildren love this animated book. It engages the kids for an appropriate amount of time. The music is soothing and the animated figures are very lively.  I recommend it to kids of all ages.

### 5/5 — Linda

*2019-10-19*

*2019-05-06*

I will change this to 5 stars in a second the book is so cute if the sound would get working!!

### 5/5 — 3 little boys loved it

*2018-12-24*

Lots of interactive pictures on each page for little fingers to play with. Very professional Voice over and excellent illustrations.

### 5/5 — Playful

*2018-12-19, version 1.7*

and inviting. A lovely adaptation that keeps the “olden-day” feel in a modern media.

### 5/5 — What fun

*2016-01-13, version 1.6*

This is a great book.  I is old fashioned which I like but gives kids of all ages the flavor of old Christmas .

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2015-11-29, version 1.6*

I'm a 74-year-old grandfather to adult grandkids. So this poem has been a great tradition. I am still amazed at all the uses of my iPad when reading this. I wish my Christmas poem had this developer.

### 5/5 — Maya's review
