Since Christmas is coming up and parents are probably scrambling to figure what their kids want for Christmas, instead of guessing, why not just have your children tell you want they want? Or in this case, have them tell Santa’s elves who will pass that along to Santa himself. Radio Santa from Kinect Technology Group is just the app to accomplish this. Radio Santa mimics the look of a 2-way radio which will allow children to have a direct line to Santa’s workshop where they’ll be able to speak with his elves and leave short messages for them with what they’d like for Christmas. They in turn deliver that message to Santa.
In actuality, Radio Santa is a clever app that will save these messages to your iPhone where you can play them back and here what your kids asked for. You can even email these messages to family and friends so they they too know what yo get your kids as gifts. What’s great too is that you can enable a passcode to the special “parents” only section so that the kids don’t know that their recordings are being stored on your device.
Like I said above, the app resembles a 2-way walkie talkie. Upon starting it, they’ll here chatter from different elves and are encouraged to talk back to them using the talk button. Again, they do not know they are being recorded so every time they hold down the button, it starts a new recording. Aside from that, radio Santa also has a Xmas countdown timer, the current temperature of the North Pole, and the ability to send Morse Code. What makes the app really cool is that the elves do respond back making it very interactive.
Radio Santa is a fun app for children who are really excited about Christmas. Not only is it fun for them, but it’s also super informative for you and will make shopping for your kids this holiday season that much easier. These recordings also make great memories that can be played back when your kids get older.
Radio Santa is available now in the App Store for $0.99. It is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 6.0 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
