I didn't have an iPhone last year so got nothing to judge it by

The one time i did get in on this there were a few good things - the Mirror's Edge game springs to mind.

Usually apps that you wouldn't be interested in.

Well true, but also some music and videos - I think I also got the Father Ted Christmas Special as well when I had it.

Oh I dunno, the past few years I've got Sonic & Sega Allstars Racing, Infinity Blade 1, Infinity Blade 2, Charlie Chaplin Modern Times which have all been pretty good and I'm sure there's a couple more ive missed.
I really don't get why some have to moan, especially when they're free.

I got a Sega game, foo fighters/lady gaga singles etc, there was a lot I didn't bother with, but never noticed they done it again.

Also Sound Hound I find I still use daily.

The only thing I've ever downloaded from it was a couple of songs, and 2 free HD episodes of House. That's it.

Haha, very good.

It is an interesting one. I send out xmas cards to my customers and I have to get some printed that read "Happy Holidays" rather than "Happy Christmas" just to make sure I don't offend anyone.

of all the companies doing 12days of Christmas Apple have consistently have had the worst one, jesus for all the money they make it least charge us 99p for some worthy apps/films or albums.

Very poor!

First year its available in the USA, so probably why they've changed the name.

I've yet to update to iOS 7.x because there's no way I'm going to use the first jailbreak version that has just been released, but I've read that Soundhound Infinity is going to be the first of the twelve days of Winterval (or whatever they call it) freebie. If correct, that is well worth having (though I do mainly use Shazam myself for my music identificationing needs, with the basic Soundhound as a backup).

At the end of the day, they're all free so no one can realistically complain, even if most of them are sh!te.

A great start to the 12 days (if you like Justin Timberlake's music).

Not to my taste either TBH. Just noticed there are a couple of music vids in addition to the songs.

Anyway its early days, and theres usually one or two freebies over the 12 that majority will find halfway decent.

If it was the other Justin (ie. Bieber), then it would have been a most cruel punishment.

Timberlake isn't really that bad, occasionally verging on excellent.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. They could give away GTA San Andreas and plenty of people would moan.
