That’s how great it is :) ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2021-12-23, version 11.3* So I’ve been using this app to FaceTime Santa every day of this month and even when I feel down I still encourage myself to call Santa. I think that this app is great for kids ages 4+. When Christmas time rolls around I just get so excited. I know these past 2 years have been hard but I think we all hope that 2022 brings us more joy and is better. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone🎄🎄 ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-12-21, version 11.3* Awesome app brings lots of joy to my children! ### 5/5 — Tricky Nicky *2021-12-10, version 11.3* Love it ### 5/5 — Santa *2021-12-05, version 11.3* Santa is the best he knows everything about kids. I love him and I love Christmas,Finding elves,I love gifts,I love seeing friends on Christmas. Lol ### 5/5 — Must have! *2021-12-04, version 11.3* We love this app. I’ve been using it for a few years now for my kids. It’s totally worth the cost. The scanner is soooo fun! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Santa video *2021-11-25, version 11.3* Super amazing and believable ### 5/5 — Great *2021-11-15, version 11.1* Awesome APP!! My son loves it. He gets so excited after a scheduled call from Santa. It’s a great surprise! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER! *2021-11-13, version 10.1.2* The first thing I want to say is that you don’t need to purchase anything and I’m SOOO thankful for that. Also, it really gets you in the Christmas spirit; there are mini games like football and boxing and you play it with the elves. It’s a really fun app and you can make yourself an elf or grow a beard! They even have jokes! I really enjoy playing this with my son and I highly recommend this 😃 thanks for reading! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-10-10, version 10.1.2* Great to see the joy on my grandchildrens faces when Santa calls, they love it so much they want to call all year round but we have to let Santa take a break! Thank you for the last 8 years of joy! ### 5/5 — Your’e the best Santa🎅🏻 *2021-10-09, version 10.1.2* I love our connection Santa and you know if I’ve have been naughty or nice.

Last year was great , this year very disappointed ### 1/5 — santa call me *2024-12-27, version 11.3* i want santa to call me and when i talk he doesnt talk back to me ### 1/5 — Rip off *2023-12-04, version 11.3* I paid for the full program @ $12.99 a few years back, now it’s $12.49 per year. This is probably the last year of my kid believing in Santa, now it’s an annual charge!!!! The grinch took over this app. ### 1/5 — SAD *2021-12-20, version 11.3* SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD ### 1/5 — Money grab *2021-12-16, version 11.3* Paid for this a while back and now they want more money for me to use what I’ve already paid for ### 1/5 — Ruined the magic *2020-12-26, version 10.0.5* This app ruined the magic. Setting up calls hardly works your way. The message is repetitive in each call. It was NOT Worth it at all. I set up calls and the only way they come in is by having your app open. The app I used last year was better. The calls would come in like a natural phone call. I also set up a call a day after Christmas so Kiddos could thank Santa for gifts. Well this app would repeat same message as it was before Christmas. Frustrating and disappointing. ### 1/5 — Pro edition is deceiving *2020-12-25, version 10.0.5* Any of the options to customize video calls do not work. Santas calls are always the same with only variation the use of answers by child. After the first call, message is basically the same. ### 1/5 — Really *2020-12-24, version 10.0.5* You changed to Christmas music different ### 1/5 — Poor video quality *2020-12-22, version 10.0.5* Just purchased this app for my little one and the video quality of the calls with Santa is awful. I tried another app Portable North Pole and it’s amazing. I will be asking for a refund ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK *2020-12-21, version 10.0.5* A waste of money bad connection no sound it’s not worth the 6$ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2024-12-21, version 11.3* This person that no one has ever seen is awesome. 👁❤️🎅🏼 ### 5/5 — Like it *2024-10-11, version 11.3* I like this game I don’t love it though ### 5/5 — Call from Santa *2022-12-24, version 11.3* Love this app. And my Grans thoroughly enjoy it. Give it a try. ### 5/5 — Little Helpers *2022-12-20, version 11.3* I tried the lite version originally and my son loved it so much that after two years I switched to the pro to have the addition of Santa photo editing. My children have very unique names and I was able to get them added to Santa’s list this year! ### 5/5 — Speak to Santa *2022-12-18, version 11.3* Love this! Have been using it for four years now for the same grandchild ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2022-12-13, version 11.3* My girls love speaking to Santa every year! Great app! ### 5/5 — One of the best I have ever seen. *2022-12-08, version 11.3* Every thing is amazing!It has games and everything! I think the best thing about it is the fact that you could run test flights.You pull up your pants and try this app now. you’re in for a ride this game has a place where you could see reindeer and what they’re doing you could also see the amount how presents are delivered and as a bonus it says how many days until Christmas and seconds. it also has this place where you could take pictures of yourself and design you as an elf or you can look at the daily news and you can look at jokes that elf’s make. I have to admit it this app makes me smile. ### 5/5 — Glitchy but good *2022-11-24, version 11.3* The naughty nice manual setting doesn’t work on the scanner and some of the features can be a bit glitchy. It’s a clever app though and my kids love it! Santa can call, video call and text and it’s really handy for reminding them to be good. You can even program in your kid’s name. Very clever! ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-11-08, version 11.3* I use this for my special needs classroom so they can interact with Santa. Well worth 9.99 a year ### 5/5 — We love this app! *2022-06-04, version 11.3* My kids use this to communicate with Santa all year long! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
