### 5/5 — This app is so great!

*2022-12-24, version 1.4.3*

It took me a couple tries to figure out the ins & outs, but once I got the hang of it, hoo boy, so fun!!!  I love that you can share any of your creations.  I emailed a couple to myself & was able to convert the image to an SVG file for use on an electronic cutting machine (think cricut, scan n cut, etc).  (Could probably do the same with some types of embroidery software, but I haven’t tried that yet.)  I can envision several ways to use these images, so the fun is just beginning.  Next Christmas, everyone’s getting sweatshirts or towels or SOMETHING with snowflakes on them!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-12-22, version 1.4.3*

I have been using this to help design wood turned flakes for the last couple of months. Easy to use and navigate back and forth from design mode to final design.

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-05-19, version 1.4.3*

It is really good and very useful to use if you are feeling bored 😀😀😀😀 I would recommend it to 4-14 because that would be when you’re interested since I’m 13 and not playing that much. 

So only thing I would change is to make it fun for teenagers, I don’t know how but in anyway try... Other than that it’s the perfect fun game to play on🙂☺️😊🙃😉🤗🤑🤑😸😺😻

### 5/5 — Awesome app for winter and Christmas fun!

*2017-11-15, version 1.3*

Fun app the whole family can enjoy!

### 5/5 — Best of IPhone Christmas apps

*2012-12-03, version 1.2*

I downloaded all of the free snowflake apps I could find and thus one is by far the best. It offers more complicated folds and an on screen preview that updates as you cut. This app is far superior to the ones offered in the featured section of the App Store.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!

*2012-04-17, version 1.2*

I loveeeee this app it used to crash but they released an update so now there's no bugs and if I find any ill send the developers an email cause this app is so cool. I love how easy it is to make an awesome snowflake I'm definitely buying the full version! Great job!!!

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2012-01-16, version 1.1*

So annoying always crashes when I try to make a flake

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2011-12-21, version 1.1*

This app is flat out horrible. It always crashes when you go to "create" your snowflake.

### 1/5 — Crashes like crazy

*2011-12-18, version 1.1*

I can't make snowflakes! It crashes whenever I try!! Plz fix. I can't buy the full version because I dont want to take risk that it crashes too!

### 1/5 — CRASHING

*2011-12-09, version 1.1*

every time I click on "Cut a Flake" it crashes! every single time!
