This was a strange giveaway, not for the app in question as this is a fantastic photo app, definitely one of the best. But, more the case that we had ‘discovered’ this app going free on day 6 before it was officially announced as part of the 12 Days of Christmas Day 7 giveaway. Nevertheless, for anyone who hadn’t already got this app, it was a great one to pick up.

Day 8 – One Direction

    I downloaded snapseed on day 7. However when i went to use it, it was no longer there!! I checked on the app store and there is no recolection of me downloading it. So now i have to pay for it. This has really annoyed me and it needs sorting out ASAP

    Interesting thing is that every country or group of countries have different gifts. For example i ´m from Slovakia and my Day 8 Gift is Andre Boccelli – O sole mio (Live at Central Park, 2011) and Day 4 was The Lion King ebook (absolutely useless)

    This is soooooooooooooo stupid… I would have liked to get Day 8 that One Direction – Gotta Be You single but in my country (which is Finland) I also got that Andre Boccelli – O sole mio (Live at Central Park, 2011) which was totally useless for me. I need to complain to Apple because I’d really have wanted that Gotta Be You -single… 🙁
