I was sad. ### 3/5 — If thinking about getting read please!! *2025-12-14, version 4.09* At first i loved it but then I kept doing the same thing over and over again and you have to spend money on the other characters like Rudolph and Mrs cause and it was kind of boring 🥱 to be doing the same thing over again and again same routine and I really want other characters and the actual good stuff like the beard paint and food costs money and my parents don’t like to spend money on games on my iPad thank you ### 4/5 — Good game! *2025-07-11, version 4.09* Very fun, and kid friendly! But I don’t like how everything else you need to pay for. But everything else is an A+++! ### 4/5 — Good but not good *2024-10-25, version 4.09* I love this game so much but why the sigma do u gotta pay to get like one more character u can barley do anything in this game apart from shave Santa ### 3/5 — I can’t do Rudolph *2024-07-14, version 4.09* So I asked my dad for the game and then I played it for a little bit and I did Santa‘s beard move onto next client and then I can’t do Rudolph and just kept making me say go to the lobby and then I press play again and then it didn’t work. I still kinda do Rudolph writing wrong sorry but yeah that is my review and please if you see this don’t get it. You’re going to have to buy the stuff like everything‘s cheap but you know my mom‘s gonna say no so don’t buy it if you don’t want it, bye-bye Leilani ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-01-04, version 4.09* Loved it ### 5/5 — I. Lo VE this *2023-12-26, version 4.09* I think this is amazing ### 5/5 — This game is so good *2023-12-24, version 4.09* So entertaining for Christmas ### 2/5 — Locked items *2023-12-19, version 4.09* Too many items are locked in this game. I can’t figure out how to unlock them. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2023-12-18* This game cured my cancer. One day I found out my whole family drove off a cliff. Then I found out that my hometown was blown up in the events of Hiroshima. But that the worst of it I also found out I have type 9 cancer and I had aids. But then right on my death bed I saw the doctor playing this game. I immediately sprung out of a coma and downloaded it. This game is not only the reason my head started beating again that day but it was also how I met my sole mate in the woman’s restroom when I was completing my Pokémon quests. Thank you for all you’ve done the Vance still hurts excruciatingly but thanks to this game when my new wife divorced me I didn’t car because Santa needed a shave and I was the man for that job. ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2023-12-09, version 4.09* This had my toddler laughing. ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-11-27, version 4.09* I love this game a lot really like it ### 4/5 — This game is awesome *2023-11-13, version 4.09* This is my fetish ### 5/5 — Reciew *2023-08-12, version 4.09* Thaaisigam es the goddlikea gamer ### 5/5 — Shave Santa *2023-02-18, version 4.09* Best game ever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BAD GAME ! *2025-07-29, version 4.09* I used to play this game as a kid but now it’s really boring. All you can really do is like dress up Santa or like shave his beard and like you can’t really do anything else and it’s like really really really boring and it’s so bad like now, you have to pay for almost everything Like literally it’s the worst game ever I would never ever ever download this game ever again honestly, I do not recommend this game. It’s really bad. ### 1/5 — Don’t download this app. *2025-04-26, version 4.09* I can see why no one plays this game anymore. You have to pay for everything. So sad to see yet another classic game just sell out like all the rest. ### 1/5 — Do not get *2024-12-24, version 4.09* First of all, it’s so so I mean the first level was OK but then the second level I don’t know it won’t let me do Rudolph as the second level I mean, I tried doing it but it wouldn’t do it. I did like 20 times didn’t work so now I think I’m stuck without that so I don’t know if I’m gonna delete it or not but this app is horrible because I can’t even doRudolph Rudolph. I mean I do wanna do it. I want to see what he has but Santa just stuck on Santa and I don’t like that that’s why that’s the title says do not get. ### 1/5 — So much paid things *2024-07-28, version 4.09* I used to play this as a kid and everything was either free or you could temporarily get it by watching an ad. Now every other character than Santa you have to pay 6$ for, you can’t paint his beard without paying, you can’t feed him without paying, face it this game got CHEAPPP ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-12-23, version 4.09* You can only shave Santa To shave the others you need to buy them seriously ### 1/5 — Only if *2022-12-23, version 4.09* Hj ### 1/5 — It is waste of money *2022-02-15, version 4.09* I love this game and have been playing it since a kid. But I DON’T understand way all the characters e.g Rudolph and Jack Frost and all the other ones are not free it is a waster of money.please make all the character and the food including dying his beard free it is not fair other whys and it will make your game better. ### 1/5 — I don’t like this but I’m happy *2021-12-04, version 4.09* I don’t like when you use after shave and he screams but my elf’s are here and in scared that I’m getting coal for Christmas ### 1/5 — Very boring *2021-11-25, version 4.09* This game is a VERY boring game. I give 1 star bc of how boring it is. Trust me, I would give 0 if i could. And trust me that this game is boring. I would not download! ### 1/5 — I want to feed Santa but I am 7 *2021-09-21, version 4.01* I want to feed Santa but I am seven ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-03-14, version 4.09* 👍 ### 5/5 — So run!! *2025-12-23, version 4.09* I love it so fun and interesting I just would never have thought better ### 5/5 — Ava *2025-12-19, version 4.09* Amazing funny entertaining game ### 5/5 — 10/10 Game fixed my divorce *2025-07-29* I kept going through marital issues and I picked up this game to soothe my mental state stress levels and I beat this game about 8 times now but I keep replaying it because there is so much to do. I am still getting divorced but I now have this game and it doesn’t require me to lose my house or kids despite KATHY BEING THE ONE WHO CHEATED. ### 5/5 — so funny and fun *2025-04-25, version 4.09* its so fun and funny i like santa he loves good peaple 😇 and gives cole to bad people i have never had cole 😈👿 ### 5/5 — 5 Star *2024-12-22, version 4.09* It is the best game ever his beard was green,yellow and Blue ### 5/5 — I love it! *2024-12-18, version 4.09* Santa definitely needs to learn how to shave!😃 ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2024-12-13, version 4.09* Great game.
