About this app
Editor Reviews
Elf Cam : Santa's elf tracker, from Scibble LLC, is a seasonal augmented reality app for parents. It places an animated elf in your real home through the phone camera, so you can record a clip of the elf scampering around and show it to your children as evidence of a visit.
You first design your elf, then scan the room so the app can map the floor, and pick a route for the elf to follow. The elf can jump, crawl, run and dance, and occasionally improvises with a cheeky wiggle at the camera. Video filters add effects such as a CCTV look or indoor snow. The developer gives practical advice: scanning needs a well-lit room and slow camera movement, and it can take a while for the surface to be recognised, after which lights can be dimmed for recording.
The rating is 3.8 from about 2,900 votes, with 62% five-star and 26% one-star. It has 100,000+ installs. Importantly, the developer says a subscription is required to use the app after download, with extra animations and filters as add-ons; in-app purchases run $1.49 to $14.99, and there are no ads. It was updated on 2025-12-04, needs Android 7.0 or later and is rated Everyone. We list one version, 25.0.2.
Parents who enjoy holiday traditions and want a bit of AR magic for young children are the audience. Anyone expecting a free tool should note the subscription, which may explain the one-star share.
