Santa Tracker brings the magic of Christmas to life with a cheerful, kid-friendly experience full of music, surprises, and festive activities. Check where Santa is each day and discover fun facts about places around the world. Each location includes a small educational detail about local culture, traditions, food, landmarks, or geography, making every visit a tiny holiday adventure. On Christmas Eve, the app becomes a special North Pole Live Tracking Station. Kids can follow Santa as he gets closer to their part of the world, request new magical sightings, watch the route update, and enjoy a festive command-center experience with snow, stars, sleigh movement, reindeer, and holiday music. There is more to do than track Santa. Children can send pretend mail to Santa, receive a cheerful reply, care for the reindeer, collect helper badges, search for the hidden elf, and decorate Santa’s Workshop. New workshop decorations unlock throughout the day, giving families a reason to check back again and again. Santa Tracker is designed as a cozy, family-friendly Christmas app with no complicated setup. It uses playful, privacy-conscious language, keeps the magic broad and safe, and helps make the Christmas season feel special from the first snowfall to Christmas morning. Features include: • Daily Santa location updates • Educational world facts for each Santa stop • Special Christmas Eve live tracker • Random festive music • Santa Mail with pretend replies • Reindeer Care mini-game • Santa Workshop decorating • Hidden elf search • Helper badges • Falling snow, stars, reindeer, elves, and cheerful holiday animation Whether your family opens it once a day or checks Santa’s progress all Christmas Eve, Santa Tracker is built to add a little more wonder to the season. ## Version history (last 3 releases) ### 1.3 — 2026-06-24 This update adds a more magical Christmas experience from top to bottom. Santa’s daily locations now include fun educational details about places around the world. Santa’s Workshop has expanded with many more decorations, new decorations unlock every 6 hours, and the hidden elf also returns throughout the day. Christmas Eve is now extra special with a new North Pole Live Tracking Station, animated Santa sightings, falling snow, route updates, reindeer, music, and privacy-conscious tracking that helps Santa feel close to your area without showing exact locations. We also added festive random music, improved Santa Mail, Workshop, and Reindeer Care layouts, and made lots of behind-the-scenes improvements to keep the app running smoothly. ### 1.2 — 2026-05-26 This update significantly expands the app’s interactive, child-friendly functionality beyond the existing Santa countdown and daily Santa location feature. New in this version: Santa’s Workshop Children can now decorate Santa’s Workshop over time. Each day, a new decoration becomes available, giving kids a simple reason to return to the app and gradually build a more festive workshop scene. Elf Hide-and-Seek A hidden elf now appears somewhere on the main screen each day. Children are encouraged to find and tap the elf to earn an Elf Finder Badge and receive a fun message. The hidden elf location changes daily, creating a repeatable daily activity. Improved Santa Mail Santa Mail has been simplified for younger children. Kids can now enter a helper name, choose from 30 Christmas wishes, and send a letter to Santa. Improved Reindeer Care The Reindeer Care mini-game now includes thank-you messages when children complete food, water, or brushing care. After caring for the reindeer, children are rewarded with a playful flyover of nine reindeer across the main screen. Improved discoverability The “Where Is Santa?” sign now gently pulses with light so children understand that it is tappable and can open Santa’s daily location update. Together, these changes make the app a more complete interactive Christmas experience for kids, with multiple daily activities, saved progress, child-friendly rewards, and reasons to return throughout the holiday season. ### 1.1 — 2026-05-19 No release notes. ## More apps by David Hind-Smith - [Fire Mania](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fire-mania/id6758275900) - [FileMaker Reference](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/filemaker-reference/id6759831776) All apps by David Hind-Smith: https://appshunter.io/developer/1859247989 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
