Community Insight:
Loved this App. Lots of fun. It is now saying that the developer needs to update the App to work with the current IOS systems. Please update the App. 7/29/18.
Its stuck on waiting, want it GONE!!!! GONE.
Worst game ever! Its SOO FREAKING BORING!!!!! We deleted it literally 1min after we got it.
Cute app but app keeps crashing on iPhone 4S. Reinstalled but still not working. :(.
We love this!! The scene is beautiful, the game is fun, and it's great to sing alone with.
It's a good game to play if your trying to learn the 12 days of xmas.
Que excelente aplicacin gracias.
Fun game to play for Christmas. Try it. :).
Nice Christmas jingle. If anyone knows where we can get each item in this song we'd love it.
Nice…needs to put right amount of gifts when showing them.
The problem is the delay. The song keeps going before the words change and the pics are on the same timer as the words so by the time you get to the tenth day it doesn't work at all. Fix that and it gets five stars.
Like the graphics & the music. Have trouble with the characters appearing when they should & pressing them at the right time doesn't always work. The white characters aren't noticeable as they blend into the snow.
There is a significant delay between the words and the music.
Very good. Our 5 year old likes this game.
Our 5 year old likes it, she sings with it over and over.
