Pls fix ur game 🎮🙏 Review from Clara ### 3/5 — It’s OK *2025-11-29, version 5.3* It was OK, but I don’t like the fact they had to pay and it doesn’t let you actually say anything cause he just responds with the same thing every time ### 3/5 — I am mad😡 *2025-11-07, version 5.3* I am mad because it does not let me call for free or I does not let you call him with having to leave a voice mail so yeah maybe fix that. ### 1/5 — Such a stupid and fake app *2025-03-13, version 5.1* The app is not real and it won’t let you even text Santa like like I said such a stupid and fake app that doesn’t shape young minds at all and it literally is not free. Don’t download this app. It’s horrible. It did pain in my butt. I do not do for kids or anybody.
