### 1/5 — Requires Santa to be on floor

*2024-12-25*

I downloaded and paid 2 bucks to put Santa’s sleigh on the roof. The AR tool won’t event recognize the roof and only allows it to be on the lawn.  What Santa lands on the floor…..

### 5/5 — Best Santa AR app

Best AR APP I have seen this year, free one is good enough, want to buy other scenarios! Great work!

### 3/5 — 4 Reindeer?

*2020-12-22*

Great ideas except for the Santa sleigh takeoff.  The 4 reindeer did not fly with my Daughter.  Santa always has 8 reindeer and Rudolph when needed.
