Sad this is happening right when I need it. ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-12-25, version 2.4* Only thing I would like is to change the hue/darkness of the sticker to match the photo. ### 4/5 — Santa *2020-12-24, version 2.4* How do you remove ring? ### 2/5 — Great idea but app is very glitchy *2020-12-18, version 2.4* I have to keep restating my phone. I’ve had this app for 10 minutes and I’ve had nothing but problems. ### 1/5 — The black Santa is no longer available *2019-12-01, version 2.2.6* Purchased this app last year, because the black Santa was not available for free. This year, when trying to edit photos, I noticed that the black Santa is not available along with the other characters, fairy, Easter bunny, etc. I was very disappointed last year that I had to pay for the inclusion, but even more disappointed this year that it’s not available at all. ### 2/5 — Does not restore *2019-05-29, version 2.2.6* I paid for this but then deleted the app. You can’t restore it. They want you to pay for it again. ### 1/5 — This day and age *2018-12-26, version 2.2.6* Find it hard to believe that this day and age Santa comes only in one color ### 1/5 — Junk *2018-12-25, version 2.2.6* I gif this app, bought the extra sticker package and none of it will load. Don't buy complete waste of money ### 1/5 — Not great *2018-12-24* I appear to have bought the full version of this app and it doesnt work. It has not unlocked any of the locked pictures and keeps freezing when i open it ### 1/5 — Restore button doesn’t work. *2018-01-09, version 2.2.4* I paid for this three years ago and again at Christmas time because your restore button does not work. I click it a bunch of times and it do a think. I tried again tonight to click it for the tooth fairy and am not about to pay a total of $15 for it. I am reporting it now because I want a refund. This app should make restore possible and maybe not be so sneaky so the reviews go up. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2015-12-25, version 1.2* Horrible app. Can't load my own picture. Freezes every time. Only giving 1 star because I have no choice ### 1/5 — Bad. Fix the problem *2015-12-25, version 1.2* This seems really cool and some friends have done it but it will not even let me add a photo (just has nothing happen ) or take a photo (goes to black screen and can't see a thing or get out of it). Please fix this problem ### 1/5 — Don't buy. Doesn't work. Freezes. *2015-12-25, version 1.2* Don't buy. Doesn't work. Freezes. ### 1/5 — Nice idea... Dumb watermark. Deleted right away. *2015-12-25, version 1.2* Good idea. And that's about it. Doesn't work. Deleted it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2015-12-25, version 1.2* I was really excited to use this app. Unfortunately, nothing worked. It wouldn't load the pictures, it wouldn't take pictures. Extremely frustrating. This should go on the "naughty" list, as in "not-thing" is working. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wow 2 Apps you can’t get right! *2024-12-24, version 2.4* After being disappointed by the first Santa cam App I came across because it didn’t work, I carried on searching and found this. When this didn’t work either, I thought it was an error on my phone. Then realised it’s the same developer. As I said on the last review… Sort it out! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-12-25, version 2.4* Was hoping this would be a nice touch for my youngest who still believes. But it freezes for so long after you’ve created it. So sad ### 1/5 — Santa *2022-12-25, version 2.4* Keeps flipping my photo & saving it in a way I did not create it!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-12-25, version 2.4* This was a great app two years ago. Now it has only one free Santa sticker and even the ones you can buy are crap. Who wants bullseyes all over their Santa?? The app doesn’t work well either. Not done well at all. ### 1/5 — Masks *2021-12-13, version 2.4* Do we seriously need to have the masks on Santa? Why not have him putting vaccines under the tree as well ### 1/5 — Download issue *2020-12-25, version 2.4* I bought Santa pack and it wont let me share the photo! ### 1/5 — Ripped off by Santa! *2020-12-12, version 2.4* I purchased this app 3 years ago and every year you have to purchase the Santa pics. Beware it won’t let you restore your purchases. ### 1/5 — Only could use it once *2020-04-12, version 2.2.6* I paid for this at Christmas and I went to use it again for Easter. Will not open! Very disappointing! Could only use it once even though I paid for it! ### 1/5 — DONT WASTE YOUR TIME *2019-12-25, version 2.2.6* This app is trash. Won’t load anything. Cant press anything. You got one screen and that’s it. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-12-24, version 2.2.6* Can’t even rate it didn’t work at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-11-27* Helps my kids a lot ### 5/5 — Thank you for keeping the magic in my house a little longer! *2020-12-25, version 2.4* I normally don’t do app reviews but I am so thankful! The free stickers on this app to add to my photo was just what I needed to keep the Christmas magic in my house a little longer for my kiddos who are starting to ask questions! ### 5/5 — Works fine, do it. *2019-12-25, version 2.2.6* A lot of lost reviewers on here. ### 5/5 — Cach Santa *2015-06-09, version 1.2* Epic ### 5/5 — Best Santa pics I've seen *2013-12-25, version 1.2* Santa has been leaving pictures and notes to my kids for a couple of weeks. Yes, you do need to upgrade to the paid version if you want the watermark removed, but for only a couple of bucks, it is really worth it. The pictures look so real! My mom even called to find out who "that guy" was sleeping on our sofa in a Santa suit! Amazing quality!! ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2013-12-24, version 1.2* Great to trick kids! I used it very successfully last year, and now again this year. Take your pictures and simply add Santa! Thanks ### 5/5 — Great fun app *2012-12-25, version 1.2* Fun and easy to get a free pic out of it , just use your brain. ### 5/5 — SANTA *2011-11-23, version 1.2* It is really fun to play with and my dad gets a good kick out of this app!! ### 5/5 — Great *2010-11-21, version 0* Get it made my kids laugh they couldn't stop fricking good app!! ### 4/5 — The best *2024-12-30* The locks are bad. But the stickers are good! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
