★★★★★ Cat Life · Feb 18, 2023

I loved calling Elmo great app just he doesn't understand what time it is 10:33 p.m. and he is saying good morning like what!?

★☆☆☆☆ Nicole Pajares · Aug 1, 2026

I purchased all the call pack months ago and told when I signed in, they were all gone. I can't restore my purchase.

★★☆☆☆ Super Straight · May 16, 2024

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. If no doubt would be buying all the call packs if this wasn't such a big issue. I'm 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.

★☆☆☆☆ Meachelle Kroenke · Jul 31, 2026

All my purchased calls are gone. And the restore purchase button is not working
