### 5/5 — Sick

*2023-12-16, version 1.3*

Great game. But.  I.  Want. The sleigh

### 3/5 — Nice but make more face realistic

*2023-11-24, version 1.3*

Please my kid don’t believe

### 2/5 — Not Worth it

*2022-12-25, version 1.3*

The Santa’s images they have are really bad, mostly poor costumes, and the app doesn’t have any feature to align brightness, focus or angle to make good montages

### 1/5 — No black Santa?

*2022-05-16, version 1.3*

I know somewhere some white racist guy is reading this comment and laughing or getting infuriated. However I don’t care. The app would be much more pleasurable to me if it had a Santa of color. There’s kids in this world who believe in Santa and believe he’s their race. Shoving white popular figures down our throats since we were children ourselves is just stupid. Santa has to be white, Jesus has to be white, god has to be white, it’s ridiculous.

### 1/5 — I CAN’T BUY PRO FOR NEW MASKS

*2021-11-26, version 1.3*

I’m get disappointed I rly want to get new masks so pls do something to fix my problem

### 1/5 — Horrible Waste of Time

*2020-12-25, version 1.3*

Difficult to use, full of ads that won’t stop playing and unrealistic Santa’s.

### 5/5 — GOOD AP ONE PROBLEM

*2020-12-25, version 1.3*

I used it and it worked great for one photo. Went to open the ap to take another pic and up pops ASIAN PORN! WTH! 
Deleted the ap quickly!

### 2/5 — Needs a few more free options

*2019-12-25, version 1.3*

Don’t mind paying but there aren’t enough free options to decide it I want the upgrade compared to other apps.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2019-12-25, version 1.3*

I paid the $2.99 and it won’t save my pictures to my camera roll. Also, the editing tool is terrible, and the picture of Santa is blurry

### 2/5 — Low quality

*2019-12-25, version 1.3*

I purchased “pro” which means more options for the photos. Should have tried a free sample first. Pictures are in very low resolution, making the results very unrealistic. Disappointed!
