There are loads of snowflakes and the AR snow looks really good 🙂. I’ve made some selfie Christmas cards with it and think you should add more different frames or maybe filters to the selfie camera, it would be even better then. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-12-20, version 3.03* Excellent app, loads of free features to use ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-03-28, version 2.92* A free app! The best one of the bunch, great for this time of the year (Christmas). Just a couple of things it would be nice to be able to adjust the amount of snowfall and possibly the angle of dangle as well. I’m pleased also that the snow looks realistic and not the 6 pointed stuff which may look ok on cartoony types of videos but not photos and videos. I’ve tried a couple of others which only cost 0.99p admittedly but are not as good. One other small gripe I had a short home made video at a resolution of 4k, I tried hard to keep it as high as I could during making it but after using the snow app it was reduced to 720. It probably doesn’t matter because I think Facebook automatically reduce the resolution anyway like they do with photographs. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-12, version 2.92* A free app! The best one of the bunch, great for this time of the year (Christmas). Just a couple of things it would be nice to be able to adjust the amount of snowfall and possibly the angle of dangle as well. I’m pleased also that the snow looks realistic and not the 6 pointed stuff which may look ok on cartoony types of videos but not photos and videos. I’ve tried a couple of others which only cost 0.99p admittedly but are not as good. ### 3/5 — Almost there *2023-12-12* Good but 2 gripes Cant use horizontally to use as a full screen image on an iPad for example And doesn’t work using a photograph on Facebook as a snowy animation which is what primarily I wanted it for. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. During 2024 there should be a few more updates added to the app to allow more Christmas related planning features and improvements to the photo and video options :) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-12-13, version 2.92* Bought this and it kept crashing when trying to save the gif. So I redownloaded it from the cloud and now it tells me I have to buy it. What a waste of money! ### 1/5 — Not so good *2022-11-26, version 2.92* Snow is very mechanical on my pictures, very disappointing. ### 5/5 — Good app *2022-01-13, version 2.92* I liked this app. The advent calendar was a great idea for picking out Christmas movies. The snowing effect is pretty cool too with this being one of the better apps for that out of the ones I’ve tried so far. Cool app. ### 2/5 — Mutes Video Sound *2020-12-25, version 2.81* Mutes video ### 2/5 — Worked once / video now half out of frame *2020-12-08, version 2.8* Paid the $2 to put snow over videos. The first video I made worked perfectly. Tried again a few days later on another, but the video is way off center with black blank space. Tried removing app, downloading again, restoring purchase... same problem. ## Frequently asked questions about Snow FX Christmas Countdown ### What does the Snow FX Christmas Countdown app do?
