## What is iText Santa?

Parents,
With the Holiday's just around the corner iText Santa is the perfect addition to your mobile device.  iText Santa is a creative way to reinforce your child's behaviors during the holiday season.  iText Santa allows you to send and receive a text message* from Santa!

Has your child done something wonderful and you feel he should be rewarded for his/her positive behavior?  iText Santa and let him know so Santa can send you back a customized "Nice list" message to your child:

"I see Chris has been Nice!  Helping his his brother clean up all the toys.  Remember Santa is always watching"

Does your child need to improve his/her behaviors?  Send in iText Santa for help and he can send a customized "Naughty list" message for your child to read:

"I see Mike has been Naughty!  He was arguing with his Mommy.  Remember Santa is always watching"

Now you can show your children that Santa is in fact always watching!

### 1/5 — Seriously

*2015-12-12*

Is app is dumb because my I got this app for my 4 year old daughter and i tested it before and I sent the text saying " Hi Santa this is ......". Of course I did not give my real name but anyway the text came back from * Santa* saying the same thing but adding " remember Santa is always watching". I do not recommend this app to anyone, this is why I give this app 1 star.
