Santa Spy Cam Reviews

by Gcheezpuff

I wasted my money on this garbage. First, none of the Santa stuff is included until you buy the $3.99 upgrade and then have to download each one separately. Then once I downloaded, every time I try to load with a photo SantaSpyCam errors out and shuts down. Complete garbage and they should tell you it doesn't work with new iPhone and IOS.

We have been a loyal Santa spycam family since SantaSpyCam first came out. Our kids loved it so much and we were patient with the developer as they worked through bugs in SantaSpyCam . The first couple of years it seem to be improving and they made things fun on their Facebook page. This year, in addition to forcing you to re-purchase things you had already bought, everything about SantaSpyCam looks and operates like a Chinese knockoff. We are very disappointed that it seems to have gone backwards. Maybe the first owners sold it off to someone who doesn't know what they're doing?

Have used this since it first came out. Downloaded it on my new phone for this year. Clicked allow for it to access my camera and photos but then when I try to use it I get a pop up saying I need to let it allow access. It doesn’t give me anyplace to click allow again. I’ve tried on two different devices with no luck. Was looking forward to using again this year

I purchased the upgrades and because SantaSpyCam takes up so much space I deleted it until next Xmas. Well guess what!! They don't restore purchases and expect to to repurchase again! So unless you want to purchase every year again SantaSpyCam isn't worth it! If they restore my purchase along with the others I will change my review. Very fun app other wise!

This is so sad because this has so much promise. SantaSpyCam appears to no longer have any support. I just downloaded it and I keep getting “access” errors. I double checked settings, everything is allowed and it’s no longer working. My daughter asked me before going to bed to try to capture him with a real camera this time, referring to the fake like images and video from last year. I’ve given up.

I think it's a shame that developers expect us to re-purchase what we have already purchased in the previous years! I should not have to give you money every single year to use an app that I have already purchased! Someone needs to fix this this is ridiculous I used to always use SantaSpyCam and I will no longer be using this anymore! Save your money folks!

I like SantaSpyCam , but I think for Santa's landing and takeoff, Rudolph should be added to the scene. I also think that should be a scene where should dash through the camera as a combination of red and snow and his human form. After he dashes through the camera, Christmas presents are left behind under the tree.

The magic seems extremely real, exactly as shown in the videos. There were no bugs either. But you only get 2 scenes for free, which are in my opinion the worst ones, and the other ones cost $1 each and that is EXTREMELY expensive just for 1 scene. The second thing I found bad was that it has a logo and on every video and I couldn't get rid of it. My daughter realized it's fake right away. Get SantaSpyCam if you are willing to pay a $1 every scene and have a logo printed on your videos to make it (unreal).

I downloaded SantaSpyCam for free and purchased the scene that I wanted for $1 (plus tax) but every time I tapped on the scene to use it, SantaSpyCam would close. I tried a few free scenes, so as not to waste more money, but none of them worked. SantaSpyCam keeps closing. I've seen it work for others but not for me. It would be a five star app if it worked. Requesting a refund!

When I first downloaded on my iPhone 6+ it did not work but after I uninstalled, reinstalled opened / closed and reopened it worked.

I did NOT get recharged for old scenes but it appeared that way when it said "purchase complete you've been billed free" or something to that extent.

I love that I can prove that Santa and his elves will visit, even if the grand kids are at Grandma's!! Their faces last year - priceless ... can't wait to show them again this year. Love the new upgrades!!!

by JoeyFatone

Super fun app, and a great way to give the kids that extra bit of magic around the holidays. And it's also fun to have a few drinks and put the elves into all sorts of wacky situations! Never had any crash issues like many of the other reviewers, so perhaps the update fixed that.

by Mother Mary Of Two

I absolutely LOVE SantaSpyCam! I teach first grade and have two small children of my own. I have never seen so many kids get into the Christmas spirit! I downloaded the whole app and it is totally worth the purchase! I have been contacted by many teachers and parents wondering how they can "catch" their own elves! I have read the other reviews about crashing...I have not had that experience (knock on wood!). Very pleased!

by Fights Pink Penguins

Loved to app my kids loved having proof of Santa and enjoyed seeing the elf around the house. Now is there an app like this for Easter? My son told me I needed to try to take pics of the Easter bunny now.

SantaSpyCam makes my boys more excited about Christmas! We incorporate our Elf on The Shelf with it to! It takes believing to a whole new level!! My kids were amazed by REAL elves and SANTA himself were actually in our home!!

by Mutnik

After all the problems getting SantaSpyCam to work with my iPad, it now works perfectly. My sons are amazed at the elves, and keep running around the house looking for them! It's definitely one of the best apps out there!

I don't understand all the bad reviews. SantaSpyCam has always, and still remains totally magical. I was able to reinstall my previous purchases when prompted, and it took me
to the whimsical scenes of years past. For a few bucks, the joy in my kids eyes is priceless. Love it.

by Somebody_famous

My kids absolutely love when "the elves" send mom a video of them checking out or house. My daughter would run up the hall asking "Did you hear magic, mom?" Greatest feeling to make Christmas that much better for my kids. I've never had an issue restoring my purchases or anything. Amazing app.

by ChristmasNana!

I just want to say that I don't use a lot of apps and this one is so much fun for me. The delight in their faces (all 8 of them) is so heartwarming. Very easy to use even for a nana! Wish we had this when I was a mom.
