### 1/5 — Cannot do anything! Super fake!

*2023-01-29*

I’m sorry to say that I would give this a zero rating, if only I could. This app only allows you to “see” Santa, and receive a “super real” message from him. It’s as fake as it can possibly be, and does NOT match the title. So I give this a one star rating, and encourage those at home not to get it! Especially if it costs money!

### 5/5 — Love it
