This is actually a 4.3 out of 80 reviews on the mac app store. These reviews are really outdated and should probably be cleared out to reflect a more updated version of the app. I myself don't typically even bother looking into the apps page if it's not at least a 3 or 4.

I just installed my old copy of v1.3.2 on 10.10.5 and it's working as it should. Looks nothing like snowflakes though - they're just circles with halos around 'em. Although it was only using 6% CPU on a quad-core i7 processor, my fans were racing so I uninstalled it.

I could have really enjoyed it… but there is no support for dual monitors, so it snows and snows on the tiny laptop window—where I don't need any distractions—while my big monitor has nothing at all. As mentioned above, it was app store, so I had to find that out the hard way.

Don't buy! It seemed like a nice idea a little snow whilst working. CPU: 14% and WindowServer soares up to 65%. Does not work on my multiple display setup and crashed on setting the prefs within 1 minute. Did I already said how I hate this App Store ? Never buy software without a testdrive ...
