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.

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 Elmo and loves the video calls! Definitely worth paying a little extra for more calls. I do wish the end call button could have a setting to toggle on and off from the call screen. That way small kids don't hang up right away as they tend to hold phones from the bottom and their thumbs hang up the calls easily.

My 2 yr old loves this and loves pretending to answer the phone and talk to elmo. But my god, why make a hang up button at all?? When he's holding it to his ear it hits END CALL every single time. It's unbelievably frustrating for both of us. I no doubt would be buying all the call packs if this wasn't such a big issue. Im going to end up deleting the app which breaks my heart bc my kid loves it but it just causes too much upset because of this USELESS, too-sensitive END CALL BUTTON.

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!

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).
