### 5/5 — Highlight of my child’s christmas

*2026-07-23, version 1.3*

My daughter and her friends LOVED this app! they loved the games and there were such adorable animations! 5 Stars!

### 1/5 — I love it so fun but.....

*2020-01-02, version 1.3*

Well it is a good game but is is just a game and you right a not real note but thanks for the game thank you

### 1/5 — Won’t give me sound

*2019-12-05, version 1.3*

For some reason it will not give me sound on my iPad

### 5/5 — Very awesome

*2019-09-26, version 1.3*

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤩

### 1/5 — What on earth

*2016-10-24, version 1.3*

Okay so like I thought that this app was going to answer my wish of actually getting a reply on an email but it didn't I'm not about that life. Also I almost had to pay $14 for a STYLUS A STYLUS YALL LIKE WHAT

### 3/5 — Could be cute but it keeps crashing

*2015-12-24, version 1.1*

The app is crashing constantly. Can't get past building a snowman because it keeps shutting down.

### 5/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-12-06, version 1.1*

I am stuck on first level snowman it's impossible so make it better don't have the snow man part I would want to discover the rest but I can't

### 1/5 — Not very wishful

*2015-12-02, version 1.1*

I find the app to be terrible.  There are no instructions on what to do, no sound, nothing seems to work.  We can't get anything but the snowman building game to work.  I can't even figure out where you actually write your wish list... So far extremely disappointed.

### 5/5 — Great game for kids!

*2015-11-05, version 1.1*

This game is fun! And teaches kids the rewards of giving and helping others! Perfect for Xmas!

### 5/5 — Christmas has come early!

*2015-11-04, version 1.1*

I usually don’t like my kids playing games and apps too much, in this case, I’m willing to make an exception. 

The Wish Writer isn’t just a game, it actually teaches kids about the importance of giving and trying to help people’s wishes come true. 

My only one complaint is that I can’t seem to get a higher score than them on the snowman level. Lol.
