Pros and cons of Snowglobe app for iPhone and iPad

Snowglobe app good for

A pretty cool app with a cute concept. Its nice to see photos with the snow effect. But it would be cool if they could have it as a greeting card, with sound & text options so that we can share with friends.
I have a picture of me inside the Snowglobe and its fun to shake up and watch! You can adjust all kinds of things about the snow-size, speed, and how many snowflakes so you can see the pic. clearly. I took a picture of my friend and put it inside and it made him laugh!
Very cute & fun app for the holidays, sound works when its not on mute or vibrating and when youre shaking your phone
I was looking for a app for my iPod touch, and this is the perfect one. Its easy to use, and fun to use. I would reccemend this prouduct in a heartbeat.
Dont expect a lifelike simulation of a 3D Snowglobe and youll be happy with this app. The snowflakes move fairly realistically (except for the initial scattering), but it all takes place on a 2D plane, so much of the fun in getting a real Snowglobe to swirl its flakes like a blizzard is missing, but the app does let you put your own picture in the middle, and it tracks the orientation of the iPhone so you can make the flakes fall in any direction. Snowglobe also makes a nice demo for accelerator functionality.
I <3 this app. Its cathartic to play with throughout a stressful day at work. My Snowglobe has happy face cupcakes in it.

Some bad moments

When I try to take a picture from my camera the preview is stuck on the previous picture I took. Other than that, its a nice improvment.
This used to be one of my favorite apps, one I would show off my iPhone with. Now its less responsive and it just doesnt charm me.
This app is horrible! Its a waste of your time and money. Its not interesting or fun or anything else you look for in an app. DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!
Horrible for a paid app. There are nooo options you cant do anything with this app and its a waste of time. Id buy it if it was free.
