Why does the app ask for my location?
Where in the World is Santa? calculates Santa’s position relative to you.  To determine a working direction and distance to Santa, the app needs to know your rough location.

For your privacy, the app does not automatically detect your location through the GPS, etc. Instead, the app asks you to tell it only as much information as you want to, such as city, state, postal code, etc. Or don’t tell the app anything about where you are. It will still work. It just won’t provide a very realistic reading.

Troubleshooting

I cannot find Santa! Why does he keep jumping around?
Be patient.  Keep moving the phone around nice and steady, and Santa will show up.  Keep the phone pointed at the horizon, not up at the sky or down towards the ground.  You will know you are close when you start to hear Santa blinking.

Interference can throw the various sensors out of sync.  The sensors will fix themselves if you keep moving the phone.  Rotating the phone left-over-right especially tends to help.

Rotating the iPhone

Can I see the distance to Santa in kilometers instead of miles (or vice versa)?
Yes, this can be set in the app’s preferences.

Go to the iPhone’s Settings app and scroll down to Santa.  From there, you can select miles or kilometers.
