Best ever for our 13 month old The face of Elmo so captures his attention. He knows how to start the call and answer the phone. He was listening to the sample calls over and over. So I bought 3 more packs that had the most videos since he is too young to understand the audios alone. Great app!!

Donna M

So far she LOVES it Bought it for an 18 month old and she loves it. Love the facetime type picture. Only one suggestion... I wish they could move the end call button to the top. Her little hands hold the phone down there and she keeps hanging up on accident. Or make an option to move it to a new location on the screen.

Matthew Klueh

It's great if... you understand that apps like this cost 100s of thousands of dollars to develope and you realize this is pretty much a demo. You have to shell out $7 which is totally worth it. The person complaining abouy only getting 2 different calls is a fool. My 1.5 year old loves this to death. The $ you spend on this goes to support SS so don't be so cheap.

Matt Wishart

Doesn't work. Company won't reply Do not bother with this App. It did nothing more than drive my two year old to tears because Elmo refuses to talk to him. I downloaded the app and it worked fine. Bought the extra calls for my son and now Elmo doesn't talk. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing. I emailed the company, no reply. Thanks for making a two year old sob for over an hour because he thinks Elmo is mad at him and that is why he won't talk to him!

Angela Jones

Disappointed I'm somewhat disappointed with this app especially since I spent money for it. Initially I thought it worked great but lately when my son uses it there is no Elmo just a blank screen & that has happened more times than not. If I hadn't payed for I would have deleted it by now.

Rachel Lasseter

Keep getting error My son absolutely LOVES this app! He loves talking to "melmo"!! However starting today we started getting that unfortunately elmo calls has stopped working and won't even open up. I hope this issue is resolved quickly :)

Thank you for supporting Sesame Street apps. We are sorry that you are experiencing problems with Elmo Calls. Is the app installed on the same device you are reporting from? If a re-install does not fix the issue, please contact sesameworkshopapps@sesame.org with details about the problematic device.

Chelsea Belcher July 8, 2016

Love it! I purchased the entire package and my 10mo daughter loves having Elmo call! Everything is so positive and there are so many options. I'm leaving 3 stars because it takes up so much memory on my phone. If all the audio files are deleted will the app work still and just stream everything? I'd rather use data than so much space. She would never get through all these calls anyways so it's just wasted space. What can I do? I sent an email and will update rating after response.

UMD Terps December 22, 2015

Great app but watch that data usage, wow! Would be great if we had option to download and store some of the video files instead of them streaming. Playing this for my kid while at doctor for only 3-5 mins pushed nearly 200mb of data!

jenna marie September 29, 2015

Neat I bought all the calls for my son who loves Elmo and I was hoping there would be a happy birthday call.. but of course there isn't. His birthday is today and I really wanted elmo to call him other than not having that, it's a pretty neat app. My son gets super excited when he receives a call from elmo.

Courtney Manson January 1, 2016

10 monh old loves it! I bought all the calls cause my kid loves this so much, everything elmo pops up he gets the biggest grin. Wish you got more free calls though, sesame street should be available to everyone, and not everyone can afford to pay.

Aimee Lent July 17, 2015

Toddler loves it, too bad it crashes I would easily give this app five stars if it didn't constantly crash and stop. This is the only app that occupies my 20 month old child for more than 5 minutes. I bought the all calls pack so I don't have to constantly listen to the same songs and it was so worth the $7 please fix this app so it doesn't crash and I will give it 5 stars

Amber Frey March 17, 2016

Very happy with the free app. This is really cute. It makes my 1.5 year old so happy to see Elmo calling him. There aren't a lot of different call options, so I would probably be less happy had I paid for it. But for a free app, it is great!

Bradley Svehla May 24, 2016

I recently tried to buy all of the calls but the app will shut down and the payment will not go through. I have tried this on different devices with the same outcome. I'd love to use these other calls because my daughter LOVES elmo!!

sabrina boden-wagner February 20, 2016

Disappointed My son loves Elmo, he's 2 so being able to get calls makes he's day. Unfortunately he's tired of the same calls. Every time I try to buy other packs this app crashes. I'm trying to buy all the calls, but even buying them individually doesn't work as it still crashes. Going to remove app and look for something better.

Sesame Workshop February 22, 2016

Hello, We are sorry your are experiencing issues with Elmo calls. Please send your Play Store receipt to sesameworkshopapps@sesame.org for a refund. We will also happily try to trouble shoot the problem. Thank you, Sesame Workshop Apps Support

Allison Ellis November 7, 2015

My daughter loved this app so much that I downloaded all of the videos. Unfortunately they took up too much space on my phone so I moved them to the external storage. Now they will no longer play and my daughter keeps crying for Elmo.

Mary Ryea March 3, 2016

Tons of fun My daughter LOVES this app! She giggles like crazy for the videos! I love how you can schedule calls too. Since my daughter is under a year old, this app will still entertain her for years!

latasha perez September 19, 2015

My baby loves it The only problem I have is I purchased all the calls and they downloaded to my gallery and is now taking up a lot of space on my phone and if I delete them then they don't work when I open the app so since I paid for it I had to delete other things just to have memory on my phone

Leah's Big World August 11, 2015

This game is a great life saver! My cousin LOVES this game so bad that when she cries it's very helpful Plus when I put on Sesame Street and "Elmo's world" comes on she's smiling, laughing pointing at it. So I Love this game P.S Make a Big bird calls and all the others PLEASE!!!!😦😦

Charlie White August 15, 2016

Almost good, but simple design flaws ruin it Great idea. The execution ruins it though: it plays the "Elmo is calling" music even when the parent is just trying to set an alarm so the toddler goes feral with excitement, the notification sound is not customizable so I don't know if I got a text or it's time for the toddler to potty, and worst of all, it isn't multi touch sensitive, so if the toddler's fat thumb is on it to hold the device, the buttons don't work! An admirable swing, but almost a total miss.

Theresa Heisz August 1, 2015

Whatever? Why is there a thumb scanner? It does nothing. It will not open when attempting to bypass the thumb scanner. The app simply crashes. I was going to show it to my 3 year old grandson tomorrow at his birthday party. According to your description of the app. I believe he would have liked it. I will keep it for a week or so. To give you time to fix it please do so.

Lacie Bullock October 1, 2015

Ok for elmo lovers It comes with a few for free to try. If u want more, of couse you have to buy. It is really neat to have elmo call you, but some of the calls dont have video and its just him singing. My son gets bored with it quick.

Salena Brown January 18, 2016

Elmo fan My son loves the app. But lately it shuts down and has been playing the same calls in a single loop 4 calls the same back 2 back or just a repeat of the pickle Joke... any updates in the pipeline??

C Rosipko March 21, 2016

My daughter screams with excitement when elmo calls. I purchased the sample package and at first all the calls were working but now there's only 4 working. It's a black screen when elmo calls on the non-working calls. Please fix so she can continue to enjoy this app.

Natasha Crew October 11, 2015

My 10 month old loves elmo,so I bought all the calls on my tablet.... the only problem is it doesn't transfer the paid content to my phone? Please help!

Magan Speck March 7, 2016

Issues with calls I love the calls and so does my daughter BUT I purchased all the calls and it won't let me do any more than a handful. It won't allow me to use all my calls, that I paid for.

Sesame Workshop March 9, 2016

Hello, We are sorry you are experiencing issues with the calls. It's possible the content was only partially downloaded. Please try reinstalling/re-downloading the call packs. Please contact us at sesameworkshopapps@sesame.org for further assistance. Thank you. Sesame Workshop Apps Support

Danielle Norman December 30, 2015

PURCHASES WILL NOT RESTORE Purchased the "all calls" pack on my phone, but nothing happens when I click "restore purchases" on my daughter's tablet. All it has are the demo calls. I don't wanna shell out another $7 for something I already bought.

Gina Mccloud October 1, 2015

Needs more variety, more calls. My 15 month old daughter loves this app but gets bored quickly with same calls and one doesn't even have a video 😕

Nichelle Mckoy-Bryant November 20, 2015

My kids love it My son, which is 3, and my daughter, which is 1, love this app. They love the calls from Elmo. This app comes in handy when they tag along with me to meetings. I would and already have recommend this app to anyone who has kids.

Scharay Hughes December 28, 2015

ELMO CALLS My LOVE BUG was so happy to talk ELMO when he called. I thought what a great thing this app is until I learned that I had to purchase more phone calls.

Debbie Neighbors March 19, 2016

Debbie My 2 year granddaughter likes this but gets board because only plays about 4 message gets mad Elmo says the same thing over & over so don't down load if you want a happy Elmo fan.

Brianna Lynn August 22, 2015

Love it. My son loves it. However I just purchased the all calls pack but stuff was downloaded to my music and photo gallery. I deleted that stuff and now none of the calls I purchased will work. Please help!

Lisa Farnes March 17, 2016

Fix the bug please Can't get into the parents area. App just crashes. Fix it and it's worth 5 stars again! My kids love calling elmo!!

Sesame Workshop July 16, 2015

Greetings. The latest update (2.0.4) should fix your problem with access to the Parent's section after purchasing calls.

Crystal S April 13, 2016

We love it it saves us from crying baby lol My 10 mth will stop crying and start laughing when Elmo comes on thanks guys

Neachille Batiste June 24, 2016

Dislike it You have to buy it i thought it was free l'm talking about on the game and you only can call him i thought it will be fun👿😳😥😞

Mike H September 25, 2016

My baby loved it too I loved it l have a one year old baby girl and sometimes she's fussy so I call elmo for her and that brightens her day up she laughs dances and even sings a little i would give it 10 stars ..

James Mays January 31, 2016

Great app The only flaw is that it doesn't have a lock, so my daughter keeps closing it. Other than that she absolutely loves it.

Minxie Leigh June 6, 2016

Great app My kids love this app, I originally gave 5 stars but due to resetting my phone I have lost all my purchases, I have clicked restore purchases on the app itself but nothing happens. Done this 4 times in 2 days, with internet connection. Give me all my calls back and I'll go back to 5 stars.
