4/5Love Elmo!
My 2 year old son is the HAPPIEST when he gets a call from Elmo. The intro music— he’s dancing. The phone ring—- he’s screaming in excitement. The video calls— he’s fully engaged and talking and mimicking his motions. Absolute JOY with this app. I wish it was possible to record the video sessions just because of how cute my son is while interacting with Elmo. The “replay” button doesn’t work. I usually use this as a way to get my son to go to sleep, having Elmo tell him he’s going to sleep and that he should go to sleep too :) I wish after the phone call it didn’t go back to the app homepage, because my son sees Elmo again and is convinced he’s not sleeping anymore.

5/5Love it but
I love the app but I’m 9 and you need to up the security on the parents section all you have to do is type the number above and I’m worried that one of the kiddos I babysit could easily get in and purchase packs but I love the app so much and this is a whole lot better than outfit7 apps (sorry Tom) I love the app And I love that you can get a free call pack instead of having to pay for all of the packs you guys are awesome but there is one problem I don’t mind it sending me notifications for the scheduled calls but that doesn’t mean it can wake me up at 10:00 at night well that was really my fault cause I set the time wrong just a suggestion though otherwise I love the app and i can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually don’t mind spending my allowance on a call pack every couple of months cus I is so much fun so yeah bye

5/5Itsss soooo funnnn!!!!!!
Itsss ssoooo funnn!!!!!! I literally am 8 and I love it! He calls u and it’s so cute and it’s super fun! 🤩 I actually feel like u should buy this rn insted of scrolling tryna find reviews to help u. Critical reviews r fake. I have never ever had a glitch and the game is great! 👍 he can call u and everything. I only wish he would be like he can call u and when u open the device it says “missed call form Elmo” or something or it says “incoming call from Elmo!” Bc that would make it awesome! I definitely am playing this after the review. But sure, mayb no in app purchases? Bc u dont have to pay to watch Elmo ? Tyyy for ur time!!!

5/5Elmo Call
This app is made for four year olds and older . My grandson loved it as a baby when he was able to crawl . Now he is two and Elmo is one of his favorite friends he makes time for to answer his call . He get more phone calls from Elmo in a short period time than I get on my cell phone all week long .

3/5Won’t let me purchase all calls package.
I’m potty training my almost two year old and we love using this app as an incentive to go on her potty! She’ll sit there and get calls from Elmo and just chat and babble with him. It has really helped us, but I would LOVE to get all the calls, especially the ones that tell her it’s time to go potty or the other one telling her that she did a good job going on the potty! So please fix! Thank you! I’ll be happy to change rating to 5 stars once this issue is fixed, because she is infatuated with Elmo and his calls.
