### 5/5 — Nice to stare at and space out with :)

*2020-03-30*

Even a not-so-calming environment feels a little calmer with this app.  It helps with unwinding when I'm nearly out of thinking power 👍

### 5/5 — Best graphics and unique effects for year ‘round photo and video

*2019-01-03*

I have used this app since it first came out. It is one of the finest programs for adding seasonal effects. You can really personalize the settings to create an overlay for any season. The additional features are very modestly priced. Most quality apps are far higher or subscription services.
This app has the highest quality graphics for add-ons such as falling snow and leaves. Paying for additional features allow you to have falling dandelion seeds, fireflies, ginkgo leaves, and  maple leaves. Check out the developer’s website to preview each one. 
For the next update I would love to see white apple tree blossoms floating through the air. An aurora would be fabulous. I would also like to be able to select target site for the HOLY light effects. It would look great on a fairy forest, light display, or Christmas Tree.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2017-10-02*

*2012-09-11*

I love this app, but it's been crashing every time I open it. :( I can't take pictures anymore.
