Es muy fácil y quedan preciosas. ### 1/5 — Aggiornateeee!!! *2023-12-31, version 5.5.0* App carina ma nn funziona da un po’ di tempo,AGGIORNATE! ### 1/5 — Paid $8 for nothing! Beware *2023-12-25, version 5.5.0* Bad gif! Music does not play stars don’t twinkle. Beware! ### 1/5 — Truffa *2023-12-23, version 5.5.0* Ho speso 6,99€ per sbloccare le gif animate e poi non funziona più! ### 5/5 — Guay *2023-10-02, version 5.5.0* Súper guay ### 1/5 — El tamaño de la letra muy grande y no opción a reducirla *2022-12-23, version 5.5.0* Ayuda por favor la letra no se puede hacer mas pequeña ### 5/5 — Navidad 2022 a 2023 *2022-11-03, version 5.5.0* Me encanta por sus diferentes cosas que se pueden hacer ### 4/5 — Sensacional *2021-12-22, version 5.5.0* Es sorprendente crear tus propias animaciones y queda muy mágico para estás fiestas ### 5/5 — Zauberhafte App! *2021-01-10, version 5.5.0* Eine wirklich tolle App, gut durchdacht, benutzerfreundlich und selbsterklärend. Ich nutze sie mit Begeisterung zum Verschicken von digitalen Advents-, Weihnachts-, Neujahrs- und Geburtstagsgrüßen. Um über die gesamte Melodienauswahl verfügen zu können, habe ich gleich das vollständige Paket per In-App-Kauf erstanden, das hauptsächlich, aber nicht ausschließlich Weihnachtslieder enthält. Noch ein Pluspunkt: Sollten tatsächlich einmal Fragen auftreten, antwortet der sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Entwickler zügig und kompetent! Ich freue mich bereits auf seine nächste App! ### 1/5 — Gute Idee, Umsetzung schlecht *2020-12-31, version 5.5.0* Die App macht was her, wenn sie denn ginge. Das Arbeiten mit Text ist unmöglich. Die Textgröße ist nicht scalierbar, die Position des Textes direkt im Bild ist nicht möglich, daher steht der Text irgendwo, teils abgeschnitten, nur nicht da, wo man will. Viele graphische Ideen sind zu viel des Guten. ## Frequently asked questions about Twinkly Christmas Card ### What does the Twinkly Christmas Card app do?
