Just that's all it does. ### 4/5 — Awesome app *2012-11-17, version 0* I think it's really cool for your kids. But also if your entertaining you can always put your phone on display for christmas. That is why i gave this app4 stars.MERRY CHRITMAS🎅 ### 4/5 — ⛄ *2011-12-17, version 0* 😊☺ Cute ✨🌟 ### 3/5 — Good, Needs improving *2011-11-08, version 0* No updates since Xmas 2010?! C'mon!! ### 4/5 — Good app *2011-09-06, version 0* It is not anything amazing but is a nice free app for the holidays ### 4/5 — Cute & simple *2011-09-02, version 0* Look if you're expecting a lot of this app then yes you'll be disappointed. All this is a simple, snowman blue background with some snowflakes. The music is really cute and perfect for Xmas. It makes ur iPhone appear as a snow globe itself, that's why it doesnt have snowglobe shape on the screen. If you're fine with these features only then get it. Otherwise stop complaining how it provides so little, they say what it is in the info. I'm keeping it. I think it's perfect for Xmas time to run in the background while you're having dinner  ### 3/5 — Yawn *2011-02-23, version 0* Can't get any bettter Srry :( ### 5/5 — Super relaxing! *2010-12-19, version 0* This app is simple and relaxing, with no annoying ads and I love when you rotate it the snow falls in that direction.

You can't make any customizations. It was cute but needs more thought. ### 2/5 — Nice *2010-11-25, version 0* Nice app, but you're hardly gonna sit watching it all day?

I'm deleteing it ! ### 1/5 — Boring *2011-01-05, version 0* It was pointless and boring, I watched it for about 10 seconds then gave up. A complete waste of space. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2011-01-02, version 0* I don't see the point in it!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Lame! Not even a snow globe, just a picture of a snowman! *2010-12-20, version 0* The other reviews people sent in are wrong. You don't even get a glass ball to shake around. It's just a picture of a snowman, not even a picture of a snowman in a snow globe! Don't waste your time with this app. Although it's free, it's not worth your iPad's/ iPhone's memory, or your time. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2010-12-02, version 0* Didn't do anything just sang a song whilst we watched snow fall on a snowman ### 1/5 — snowglobe app *2010-04-25, version 0* This app does not doing anything. It is just a picture of a snowman with background music. No changes are possible. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2010-01-03, version 0* This game is boooring ### 1/5 — Dumb!! *2009-12-29, version 0* It's so dumb u just sit there  to music ### 1/5 —  *2009-11-29, version 0* this is so stupid u cant even change the snowglobe ### 1/5 — SOOOOO y!!! *2009-11-27, version 0* On the  there is noooo fun in it.

And just is so amazing how your iPod I phone or a iPad can turn into a snow globe. 5 star and good work. ### 5/5 — Happy app !! *2012-07-15, version 0* This app was one of the first I downloaded in 2008. Kids love it & the "kid" inside me does too. ### 5/5 — Great kid friendly app *2012-03-25, version 0* ! ### 5/5 — Snow globe app awesome!! *2012-01-01, version 0* My husband mentioned having an app that would turn your phone into a snow globe and within minutes-- I have an amazing one he envies!! While strange for winter in NY-- we have no snow-- I have it to go!! ### 5/5 — Snow Glob *2011-11-15, version 0* This is so sweet. Works just as it is described. Very simple.0 No ads popping up. Snow falling is pretty to look at and the 2 minutes of CHRISTmas music is SOooooo soothing. All this sweetness and it's offered for: FREE! God bless those responsible for it's creation. Wish you would also offer one with children playing in the snow, and...a wooded or mountain scene. Perhaps by next season. :-) ### 5/5 — I love it! 10 stars *2011-01-02, version 0* Thank you very much for making this app free! I love the music, the layout, and the snow. I wish there would be more music! Highly recommended! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
