### 1/5 — Wrong number of sleeps.

*2022-12-19, version 4.0*

Found this countdown on YouTube and my son was obsessed, so I purchased the app. Biggest waste of money ever as the number of sleeps are wrong and I can’t find a way to change this!! So frustrating!

### 1/5 — Wrong countdown number

*2019-12-17, version 2.2*

I like the app apart from the issue with the number of sleeps as it’s 1 sleep short and puts it as Xmas day is the 24th December.

### 5/5 — My review

*2017-12-04, version 2.2*

I think it is very good and fun it shows little children how many sleeps till Christmas and the music is very fun and joyful so I give it 5 stars

### 5/5 — Great sing along

*2016-01-03, version 1.2*

Love it very catchy and nice to see how long till santa arrives

### 5/5 — Catchy, Funny and Addictively Brilliant

*2016-01-02, version 1.2*

Love this, became a guilty pleasure singing along to this!!

### 5/5 — Such fun

*2015-12-24, version 1.2*

Kids love singing along to this song

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-11-27*

So I absolutely love all your apps, but I'm pretty disappointed with this one.  There is hardly anything to do and seriously, the mention of beer? I normally wouldn't care about it, but I also don't want my four year old to repeat "drink all your beer" many times! 🙁

### 5/5 — I'm sleeping til Santa

*2015-11-24, version 1.0*

I'm going to hibernate until Santa.  Thank you for keeping my children singing. Funny song.
