I would love it if you can add more stickers 😍❓❓❓
bunny pic
doesn’t look as real as I thought
Add the leprechaun
Please add the leprechaun
Ugh
Why can’t I take more than two photos. It freezes after
Great but glitchy
I take one photo then I have to restart my phone after every photo.
This is GREAT but.. read before downloading
This is amazing but there are ONLY 3 free CHARACTERS there should be more details and no offense tho but it cost like I don’t know 99! Read before downloading please
Not able to access after payment
I paid for the app, money sent from my apple account, but still not able to access stickers. Had to purchase a different app that worked just fine.
Great
I’ve been using this for the last few years to catch Santa and the Tooth Fairy a few times for my son. I only use the free version and have had zero problems, even made pics for friends and family. The only downside is that Easter Bunny looks completely fake and I won’t use it, they could have done better there. Also the last few years they had a Santa that was like half of him so you could put him behind a chair or couch and I liked him because where my tree is that pic was very believable but I see now it’s basically whole Santa’s and it looks like he’s standing on the chair, had to move around the room to get the right angle to make it look right. Thanks for keeping the spirt of Santa alive and helping my kids believe that much more!
Won't allow the stickers to show..
I've had this on my ipad for a couple of years, with no problems. Now, upon trying to open it, the main page is very opaque, and nothing is clickable.. I have purchased all packs previously, and just now tried a delete and reinstall, but it still doesn't work. I've also been to the developers website, which gives no contact info or help.. What has gone wrong?.. My advice is to avoid! Developer, I'd appreciate some help here....
Never unlocked additional images
Finally got it after clicking to repurchase then clicking restore on the top right. It should download automatically or at least tell you what to do.
Worked well
Worked great for me. My son wanted to try and catch the Easter bunny leaving his treats and this app made that possible. Love it
Paid for it didn’t get to use it
I paid for all 3 sticker packs a couple of weeks ago. Come Christmas Eve and I can’t use them, says buy Santa pack for 99 cents. So I rebought the pack, hit restore, and reinstalled it. Will not let me use them.
My kids love it!
I’ve used the app to “get a picture of Santa” in our home for 3 years and to put the Tooth Fairy on my son and daughters pillows. They love it!
Has it gone downhill?
I’ve used this app for years and at one point even bought the extra stickers… I wanted to do the same pictures for my son but not only are the extra images not showing purchased it’s not allowing me to purchase them again to “take special pictures” of his first tooth fairy visit….
Worked great!
It seems like the bugs from the previous bad reviews may have been ironed out with the app because I just used it and it worked great. I did purchase all the stickers, and chose an Easter Bunny one because we won’t be able to go see him this year. I was able to make it look like the Easter Bunny was sitting right next to my kids in their pictures. You do need to be mindful of what stickers you choose; some of the bunny stickers don’t have eyeballs, but the ones that do are really cute and if you arrange your picture right, they look very realistic. Highly recommend!
Would give 0 stars if possible
It’s clunky when it works, otherwise it won’t work. The FAQs are absolutely no help and the app crashes. iPhone 11 Pro Max
Very neat app, but don't purchase extras
Very neat app, and it worked with the basic characters but I purchased the extras and never got them! -.-
Letters?
I have been using this app for a few years now and I loved it in the free version and original version I purchased, but ever since the update I can no longer make the letters to go with the pictures. Please bring back the letters.
Saved the Toothfairy theory
My son was very skeptical about of the Toothfairy was real and if she would come when he lost his first tooth. Leaving a picture of her next to him sleep by did the trick! The app was super easy to use. Thanks for the great app!!!
Crappy app
This app is crap! I even paid for it and still Could not create the photo I wanted. Absolutely do not buy this app!!! NO WAY! Not even the free one! Neither one work!
Will not restore purchases
I have been using this app for the past few years and it has worked fine. Have gone to use it again and all my purchased stickers are watermarked. I have done what is suggested in the FAQ but this has failed to restore. Please help.
Worked great. Just what I needed.
Used the free version to add the Tooth Fairy to my child's picture. Super easy. He will be thrilled!
Don’t buy!
I tried to restore and it was glitched and charged me! Refund me
Easter Bunny
I love this app especially the Easter bunny 🐰 It is so cute
Love it
Took me a minute to figure out how to get the blue lock off the characters (push restore after you pay the 4.99). Can't wait to show my kids tomorrow
Disappointed
I bought the whole package of stickers and the app just goes black every time I try and open it. This app for me was a waste of $1.99.
Not sure yet
The fairies don’t get small enough for me,, every one knows fairies are tiny.. my granddaughter will never fall for this
Crashed
As soon as I payed for the premium pack, the app crashed or something, if I try to open it, everything is black , no image, nothing. That’s sad , since it’s frickin Christmas Eve, and I was planning on tricking my daughter with Santa’s pic. DO NOT spend your money on this app!
Great until....
Worked great until I bought the in app purchase. It did not unlock the additional characters.
I’m a sucker
I’m a sucker! Purchased so I can have fun with my grandkids and an “error please try again” continues to show. Can’t create a picture! Took my $1.99 in a hurry and got nothing for it!
Unable to make purchase
Had the app a few years back without issue now when I try to purchase the full pack of stickers nothing happens the button to push is it grey I can’t even touch it.
