Very cute app, my little one likes it, but I wish there were more than just a handful of pre-recorded messages from Elmo. My baby got bored pretty quickly.
Overall good but one annoying bug has persisted for years. The screen does not stay on while the calls are playing back. Most apps that play video will prevent the screen from sleeping but not this app. I have to consistently tap the screen to keep it awake or else playback stops. Feels like it could be an easy fix...
My 1 year old loves this app! This app turns all frowns upsidedown in this house. I favorited all the video calls so we can just watch those.
Purchased the pack for set calls/alarms. When the set time comes the phone says "it's Elmo calling" once and then when we get into the app nothing happens. There is no call about brushing teeth or getting ready for bed as I have set. Also the timers then reset after each one passes, so even it is did work you would have to set it up each day which could be quite frustrating.
AWFUL. My pre-schooler LOVED this, but it quit working and said it needed an update. It would not install the update, even though there was ample storage. I was then advised to uninstall and reinstall the app. Going on a month now, and it still won't download. I don't have a janky phone either- not that it should matter, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S21, so it's not even like it's outdated or can't handle the load. My girl has been absolutely heartbroken that Elmo doesn't call her anymore.
worked amazingly, then an update took away the grownups section, so we can't access saved cans of schedules, etc.
I downloaded the app and purchased all the calls but since the recent update to my Pixel the app has been crashing. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it still crashes and I can't access the calls I purchased. It's a cool app but I'm frustrated with the errors it's having. Hopefully an update or fix will be released soon otherwise I'll have to request a refund.
My kid loves this app and Elmo. I therefore bought all the extra movies. My annoyance is with the quality of these video's. Who edited these and why can't they do their job properly? In most of the videos Elmo is floating above the scenery or above black bars. He never seems to be in line with the scenery. Makes for ugly viewing. It could also be a technical issue with my particular phone. If so, some extra video settings would not be a bad idea. I just think it is sloppy work for a paid app.
My child loves this app. She is 17 months old and I started playing the app for her at 10months. Around 11months she became obsessed with the app. I feel like it's more than just something fun for the child. I believe that it also has some educational and developmental benefits. It's worth downloading for your little one(s).
i paid for the full version but i only get 2 different calls. in my phone there are 2 dozen videos of Elmo in a video folder but they never play in the app. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling no luck
I bought a call pack and it has no sound when the phone is supposed to ring, when I hit talk it doesn't load
Bought the all calls pack and it dissappeared. Can't seem to get it back.
I paid for all the calls available for my grandaughter and after several emails and over 9 months I still don't have any resolution and novn of the calls that I paid for. My next step is filing reports with every agency possible to report it which is a shame bcuz IF they would've just fixed this I wouldn't have to. So now I will pursue payment for all of my time as well. This is INFURIATING!
Same problem as a few other people - paid for the full call collection and cannot access any of the videos..frustrating.. Have been told to update, but still no video calls..No replies to e-mails..No solution either, I suppose..
The calls are great. My daughter loves them, however, once I purchased the full package I no longer have access to the settings/parent section.
I can't get this app to work on either of my phones for the main setting screen where you put an alarm time on for the calls. Very frustrating!
About 10 or more years ago I downloaded this for my niece and she loved it almost more than bubble pop, I saw this on my old list of apps downloaded and I thought I would stop and give this a review
Pretty annoyed if I'm honest, I have 3 devices connected to my account, my phone, my daughters phone and my tablet, purchased the full app, all calls and messages, but it is only available on the device it was purchased on ? Should it not be the full app in my account and therefore available on all 3 devices, If this is not remedied soon I will not be purchasing any more of your apps .
This Is more like a question than a review... how is this safe? I took the phone away from My kid right when I saw the camera on... I did know he downloaded it... started looking into it right away... All i can think of is "Who is watching him?"
This app is trash I paid for the full thing and my baby broke her tablet so I bought her a new one and I can't restore the feature on here.the restore purchases button literally does nothing
I don't have any kids but this was a fun app to try out and I think that kids would love it, it does charge a bit for more advanced features and different videos, but overall it was really fun to test
this game is scary and I'll tell you what happened when I called it when it was in the middle of talking I hung up on Elmo and then my TV glitched out and had a evil face on the TV I keeped trying to turn the TV on but every time I did it glitched.We had to get another TV because it was broken one of the scariest moments of my life!!!!
Love this app for my 3 year old daughter. I have her using a old phone w Wi-Fi set up on it. Although this app is the ONLY app she knows how to do herself. She gets a kick out if when Elmo calls her. Shes just as excited from the first call of the day. Till the millionth time in a day!!!! Thank you app developers. Entertains her for a lil bit :) she will be 3 year old on Halloween. ... Can any make any rther
Paid $7.00 for all calls. It stopped working after 2 weeks. Don't waste your money. Use free version only. (They fixed the bug. It works great and my baby loves It!)
Great way to engage kids around healthy habits, stay organized with the schedule function, and the alarm is built in! Helping Mom's and Dad's keep it fun! Giggles r good for the soul.
It's a very good app for the kids, I think. Having FaceTime with Elmo.... .. is........somewhat good ....... I guess .. . But I think, it would be better if it doesn't have demanded for money for the packs which I want to buy! 😭😭 Anyways, it's a good app 🤨🤨😃
There are only 3 or 4 prerecorded calls, and one of them has issues with elmo's voice and it starts to sound a bit creepy. It didnt last long for us.
I wanted to try something new for my son and he loves this. he loves taking my phone and do pretend calls, so having this was perfect for him. and its cool that some of them is like FaceTime and some are just phone calls
Update: The latest fix did allow me to install this on Android 12. There is a more button in the grown up section that is greyed out. Everything else seems to work OK. This app refuses to install on Android 12 using 2 different phones. Even a refreshed phone. Had sent information to developer and Google and have received nothing.
