But not on everything *2025-12-24, version 2.1.2* Hi, I’m Jay and I’m eight years old. I I want this game to be on everything but sadly it’s not. ### 5/5 — This app is amazing *2025-12-24, version 2.1.2* It is Christmas Eve and I am so excited Santa is coming soon and I can message him and see if I am on the naughty or nice list. There is also a blog from Santa, dasher and one of the elves everyday ### 4/5 — Good *2025-12-24, version 2.1.2* Really good not confusing ### 4/5 — Live Santa Tracker *2025-12-24, version 2.1.2* It is a clear and easy to identify app compared to others ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What I rate *2026-02-21, version 2.1.2* The only thing I don’t like is that it always says he is in the North Pole even on Christmas Eve ### 1/5 — Hate it don’t buy *2026-01-26, version 2.1.2* I really didn’t like this app. 1. Everything cost money! When you look at this app it says that everything is add free right? WRONG! The only thing you can do that you don’t have to watch a “short add” to be able to play is the actual Santa tracker! But you also have to pay to put in your home! 2. It’s chaotic! The tracker is filled with lines of where he has been and it constantly keeps changing the city’s. For example it once changed from Italy to Spain. 3. Horrible Wi-Fi. My Wi-Fi was fine but when I watched 5 adds to talk to Santa it kept giving me an automatic notification that I couldn’t talk to Santa. And when I could finally talk to him it would randomly switch to the automatic notification and would only switch back for 2 messages. All in all I would not buy it! Don’t waste your time or money with this. After I found this out I immediately deleted the app. DON’T BUY IT!! ### 1/5 — RUBBISH *2025-12-31, version 2.1.2* Do not download I got it thinking it was going to be really good but it said Santa was still around at 12:00 on Christmas Day and you have to pay to message Santa ### 1/5 — Hate it don’t buy *2025-12-24* I only put 5 so people would notice. I really didn’t like this app. 1. Everything cost money. Well everything except for tracking Santa. You have one time use with an add but that’s it. You also have to pay to put in your home! 2. It’s chaotic! The tracker is filled with lines of where he has been and it constantly keeps changing the city’s. 3. Horrible Wi-Fi. My Wi-Fi was fine but when I watched 5 adds to talk to Santa it kept giving me an automatic notification that I couldn’t talk to Santa. And when I could finally talk to him it would randomly switch to the automatic notification and would only switch back for 2 messages. All in all I would not buy it! Don’t waste your time or money with this. After I found this out I immediately deleted the app. DON’T BUY IT!! **Developer response:** To clarify, Santa tracking is completely free and ad-free, and other features can be trialled by watching a short ad. As Santa has to visit billions of children in one night, its not surprising his line track is everywhere and his location is constantly changing! We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with messaging Santa and we appreciate you flagging them. Thanks for taking the time to share detailed feedback. 🎄 ### 1/5 — Not free!!! *2025-12-24, version 2.1.2* Don’t wasteyour energy ### 1/5 — You need to pay for everything *2025-12-24, version 2.1.2* This is true ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-12-13, version 2.0.13* This is the worst because you have to pay ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t recommend it *2025-12-09, version 2.0.12* Doesn’t have any sort of tracker and had to watch adverts or pay just to message “Santa “ ### 1/5 — Wasn’t really good but I liked it *2025-12-06, version 2.0.12* Jk ### 1/5 — Pathetic app, useless *2025-11-20* It just has static boring content and show just Santa on map. Creator has added Lots of ads just to earn in the name of Santa. Santa just came on a random placement of map. Chat it static giving random answers. Tried to copy other apps but failed. 0 stars from me and my kids. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!!! *2026-08-14, version 2.1.2* This game is really fun and you guys should definitely get it. It does make you pay for some things, but instead of paying, you can just watch an ad to try them out; you can do that every single time you want to use that part too! Most of it is free, so it's really cool. You guys should definitely get this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤ from: Ellie ### 5/5 — Love this Santa tracker ❤️🥰 *2026-08-12, version 2.1.2* Best Santa tracker ever you should download this game.
