Good but could be better

The whole thought of the app is great, the videos are well made and my son loves them. 13 dollars for a few months of premium service is a bit much, I decided to buy it this year to try it out but I was very disappointed when they told me it would expire after a few months and I’d need to pay another 13 to get it again. Had it been a one time payment I wouldn’t be upset. The reaction videos take so long to process and save, I end up forgetting about the dang thing. And you can’t use the reaction cam while it’s saving another. I can see how this would be problematic if you have multiple children and want to make them each a video (as they’re aren’t multiple children video options) and save their reactions. It’s a good app, I’ve used the free version for 3 years but I don’t think I’ll buy it again.

Magical! Buy it every year!

We have been using this app for 4 years. My kids LOVE getting phone calls and videos during the month. It’s very easy to create and they have a separate Kids Corner area within the app where all the videos go so your kids can always rewatch them. You can also have the videos emailed. My son is old enough now (12) that he asks what’s “PNP” because they do use their advertising at the end of each email/video. Older kids will for sure catch on to this. This is the best behavior management tool I use at home. Whenever my daughter is having a great day at school, I’ll have Santa call her and tell her she’s doing a good job. This also works if she’s not having a good week too. Her face lights up when she sees Santa is calling 🎅🏼 I wish they would include something with the Elf on the Shelf because my daughter knows that our Elf Sophie flies back to the North Pole every night to report to Santa... this would be cool to have Santa create new videos that mention he has spoken to the Elf and gotten their report. Just an idea for the developers!

Missed Opportunity

The visuals are beautiful, as in prior years. Developers do an effective job of engaging the child with personalization of name, DOB and the child's typical day. However, the narrative should have been written by a child development specialist....who could have helped the video to focus more on the wonder of the North-Pole-home of Santa, talk about the unique value of each child and that Christmas is a special time for us to share time and treasures with those we love. Narrative could encourage children to be persistent when solving problems with materials. Narrative could encourage children to solve problems with other children collaboratively, sharing feelings and together coming up with ideas for resolution. An early childhood specialist would omit the non-descriptive, subjective language of 'naughty' and 'nice' and remove the connection of behavior to gifts, because this leads children to believe that bribery is an acceptable adult-child interaction strategy. I am very disappointed in the videos and will be deleting the app from my device.

Changing previous review

UPDATE: A recent update has fixed a TON of issues! Audio has been corrected and they also changed the photo format so that most recent photos are showing up first. Creating videos was quick and easy, great quality and the kids LOVED them (as usual)I also just wanted to say a quick thank you for adding my daughter’s name (Eisley) into the list of names Santa can say. He couldn’t last year so I was thrilled it was available this year even though it’s not common. Once again, VERY happy with this service. Thank you for listening to your customers. Previous review below:I’ve been using this service for years with all my kids and getting high quality videos. THIS year, I don’t know who they have managing this application but it is complete and utter garbage. I paid for the premium videos and was only met with constant crashing (which erases all your progress), photos not uploading and a mind numbingly idiotic set up which pulls up pictures listed from oldest to most recent... so I get to scroll through thousands of photos just to get to the ones I need... only for them to not upload and inevitably causing the app to crash. When I finally was able to get a video created, the sound is so low, I can’t hear it. Awesome. Thanks for the time wasted and useless video, pnp. Hopefully my 10 dollars can assist you in hiring better programmers in 2018.

Memories for a lifetime!!

I was first told about this website about 10 years ago now. I have shared it with so many friends, family members, even strangers at Christmas time. I’ve seen changes along the way. New videos, now birthday videos. One of the best decisions (I feel anyway) is they still offer a free video for everyone. Yes you can pay for more options which is a fantastic deal. When you see your child/ Children’s grandchildren’s faces light up, it brought the kid out in me too! My son is now 14, he asked me why I keep doing it for him. Simple son, I’m still making memories for us! Thank you, to the Santa, Developers and all the Staff it takes to make all the videos. I have enjoyed making memories with my son over the years. Im a single father and I Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Christmas wouldn’t of been the same without you! See you in six months! Ho! Ho! Ho!🎅🏼🤶🏻

Love this App and Website

I have been using the Portable North Pole website for several years now and glad they compacted it into an app. I love the different membership levels. My daughter now 8 and still has the magic of believing loves her videos and calls from Santa every year and waits for them patiently. She is amazed how he always knows her name, how old she is, where she lives, how school is going, what she wants for Christmas and has pics of our family and her special fur baby stuffed animal friends which we make videos for too. This year I did the magic pass for all the exclusive options and already we did a regular video, a video FaceTime call, am planning a Christmas Eve call and the magic special deluxe videos and calls. Greatest creations to bring the spirit of Santa and keep it alive with your children

Updated Review

I guess the elves have been hard at work and fixed the picture bug. Thanks for working to get this corrected! The app works like it is supposed to now and my kids love it again.Previous review: I have used this app for the past two years without a problem. This year however photos will not upload. The size of standard cell phone photos is apparently too large for this year’s version of the app. This is a huge oversight by the developers! If this problem is not addressed soon it will pretty much be a useless purchase this year. Disappointing from an app my kids have really loved in the past. I hope it gets fixed so I can change this review. Also, I have saw on some of the responses the developer telling users they can still use the website. That is true enough, but the reason we pay for an app is the convenience of not having to upload pictures to a pc. That extra step is too time consuming and is not an adequate answer to the problem in this app.

Very fun but has annoying flaws

They need to change the video if you have more than one child because otherwise they catch on pretty quick that it’s fake. When they both get the same video with just different names it cause some question. My other complaint is that you should be able to change the features of each video without having to re-record each video. For instance, if I want to change my child’s behavior from good to naughty I should be able to do that quickly and easily without having to redo and wait for the whole video to reload. The waiting for the reload is not the issue, it’s the fact that now I have two videos for the same thing (ie..carousel, attitude, big book) yet I am unsure of which is the video for when they are being sweet, or the video for when they are being mean, or the video that has different pics etc. it’s just too complicated. My child went to listen to his “big book” and accidentally played the wrong one saying he was naughty when it should’ve been the good one. Ugh. The last issue is that the recorded reaction should be on a separate page bc they suddenly disappear without notice. Other than all that it’s a cool app.

This app is so magical!

My oldest Daughter got these video’s starting at 6 years old. She couldn’t believe that Santa knew exactly who she was and that she did gymnastics and know so much about her! When she was around 8 years old, she noticed the companies name (PNP) that comes up on the screen after the video’s done. She thought it was weird and quickly figured out that I had something to do with the video. It’s more special and easier for the child to believe for a child under 8 years old. My youngest, who is now 5 has been getting her santa video’s since she was 2 years old. She enjoyed it more and more each year. This December when she got her video, it was obvious that she was completely amazed! Santa knew and who she was and actually said her name, knew where she lived and he knew her friends names! It’s pretty special! The company has made it more detailed and magical every year! The reaction recorder is great! Now you option to save more videos with the child’s reactions! The year her reaction was priceless!

Magic in the making for children and adults

This is the most perfect app for anybody it comes straight from Santa with all the magic he puts in Even just a little details matter because it will make adults and children and everybody else’s day whether they believe in Santa Or not because this every year has two free videos for both child and adult and year around he has the one for everybody’s birthday but this little thing is so magical you know is the best team in the world because it will literally ask you a lot of things about your child or your adult like oh what a picture and know how to pronounce their name right and this is coming from someone who knows that Santa is this really real but I still have lots of fun and I still believe anyways this is also coming from an 18-year-old with disabilities I was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome which means that the whole left side of the heart isn’t even there I was born with no spleen and I have Pacemaker and you know how must do your organs are on your left side mine are all on my right I have lots of disabilities and I am very delayed in my development but I can tell you that this app or even the website is great go and check out more than five more of a magic here in Santas portable North Pole
