Santa is real

AMAZING THE BEST EVER

This app is FANTASTIC my kid LOVES this app and it's really helpful so get it for your kid and have some fun!

Can’t edit a video even if it comes out wonky and they will delete your credits

The videos cants be edited or made again without paying for it so if the AI decides to have your elf teleport or gives you two elves that randomly vanish you can’t fix it and your left with a video you can’t show your kids. Not worth the money. And if you do buy credits makes sure to use them all quickly because they will remove them after a while

Wouldn’t work

I spent almost 2 hours trying to get it to generate a video. I even tried different pictures to see if that was the problem. It just kept staying “can take up to 5 minutes” then I’d sit there for 10-15 minutes while the bar never moved
