8 of 25A total classic, and the app ran with the magic of the book and is a classic itself! So many hidden gems. Any time I visit my nieces and nephews kids are climbing over me to play/read, and my infant absolutely loves it! For the person who said it needs more interaction, it doesn’t. Like the book, the story is well done it doesn’t need “bells and whistles.” It stands so strong on its own. Please don’t try to “improve” it and ruin it like “Elmo’s potty time” was ruined recently! Just update for compatibility and let perfection be!
It would be nice if there was an option to read through the book without the animation/audio as well. This would help children learn to read from the book (as it was originally intended). This was my favorite book growing up, and I'm very happy that it is now available on the iPad. Please tell me you will be updating this app to 64-bit soon. It will be terribly sad to see it no longer work after iOS 11 is released.
It fun for all ages
I have a 5 year old daughter with down syndrome. This is her favorite app, and she squeals everytime she sees the iPad: "Mooonster!" We never get tired of this application. As a programmer and web designer, I never get tired of its complete perfection in design. Initially I was annoyed that you had to wait for the page to be read before any further action could be taken, but after thinking about more was glad that my daughter had to wait and couldn't just start poking at everything. It's filled with surprises and little gems that make it interesting on multiple rereads, and is truly just a beautiful application - easy to use, entertaining, and the perfect amount of silliness. Thank you for all the effort and thought that went into making this.
I remember playing this game when I was 2 or something, and I rediscovered it while I was looking at my previously purchased items, I could still redownload it, so that’s what it did! And it’s just as fun as back then! So if your a parent who wants a fun app for your children, download this app now! Or if you really love Sesame Street!
It is a classic Sesame Street book and we have the both the physical book no this digital version. I had basically given up that this was ever going to be updated, as they had last done an update in 2014. I am glad that it is now iOS 11 compatible.
This is a great app and my kid loves it but there's a shopping cart icon on the main menu (which is marginally acceptable) and now there's a splash ad. Totally unacceptable for a paid app., more unacceptable for a kid's app., and still more unacceptable for a CTVW app. Someone in your marketing dept. has a bit too much power (and a poor sense of propriety) if this kind of thing is getting through. Seriously who thought it would be a good idea to advertise to 2-4 year-olds. Like this.
Please update for the new iOS! This is one our kids' favorite apps and it doesn't work anymore!
