With Santa's Magic Phone Call & Text kids will not only be able to call him once but as many times as they like over and over again.

The naughty calls use gentle words of encouragement to act nice.

The best iPhone apps for Christmas season

The app is free to download but many of the features and functions require in-app purchases. You can unlock all for $5.99 or make individual purchases that range from $0.99-$3.99. The app has 3.5 out of five stars from users who love the idea of the app but would like to see improvements made to the performance. The app has just been updated and one of the areas that were addressed was bugs and performance so it seems to be a smoother experience now.

Personalizing the Experience

What's fun is that you can really personalize the experience that your children have with the Santa’s Magic Phone Call & Text app. You can use your own voice to send a message as Milo the Christmas elf. The app will disguise your voice so kids will never know it's you. Also, you're selecting a message so there are different categories so you can choose one that applies to your child such as great job with their potty training, excellent use of manners, really good healthy eating, and other categories. If you have a child who is starting to learn how to read perhaps a text message from Santa would be fun.
