8 of 15My son loves Elmo and loves using the phone. The problem with this app is that when he presses buttons on the phone, he either holds his finger on the screen or he presses the button multiple times. In this app, the call button and the end call button are in the same exact spot - so when my son uses the app, he calls and then immediately ends the call, making him unable to talk to Elmo at all without my help. Please redesign the UI so that the call and end buttons are in different positions!
elmo didn’t even let me summon satan . very dissatisfied with you, elmo….. :[
I tried saying something to Elmo but instead he just did his own thing I tried 4 times still not working so I tried again still not working I’m will try many times but am not happy because I don’t know if it will work or not so can you please try to fix this app please Thank you
This app hasn't been updated in a while. Clicking on "send feedback" doesn't work. Also, if you previously purchased any of the call packs but now you want them available on your child's device, you'll have to buy them again. Ugh.
I have a home daycare. So getting a phone call from Elmo will always get the most distracted child back to focus on circle time . I would rate Elmo a zillion stars if possible
I’m only 9 and I love Elmo •=• but I do have something to say, can he HEAR us? Bye! -ElmosWRLD84
I like it just one thing I like to FaceTime calls better than the audio calls
I bought the full app and the app refuses to restore purchases?
