### 3/5 — The Problem

*2020-11-15*

This is a great app but I do not trust it because we don’t know if it is Santa 🎅 or not ☹️

### 2/5 — This app is junk

This app is junk don’t pay for it. The scan doesn’t work right!

### 3/5 — Very cute!

*2018-12-25*

### 5/5 — Delightful App

*2015-12-14*

This app is simply delightful!   I came across it a few years back and have enjoyed it over and over again.  My kids are grown, but we still have the best time every year; my grown kids and my parents all join in and laughs ensue.  This app should join icons such as Rudolph, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Christmas Story, etc. 🎄

### 5/5 — Get This App Every Year

*2018-12-23*

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, we truly value it! The algorithm behind Santa’s Naughty or Nice scan is very simple but it takes into consideration a few factors beyond our control. We recommend checking every day to see if your score increases.
