False Advertising. *2020-11-05* The app works fine on my iPad but the app has Elmo's face and the app is called Elmo Loves 123s so I was definitely expecting Elmo to be in the app. I am seeking a refund because Elmo is nowhere to be seen after the intro and you only hear his voice. False advertising. ### 3/5 — Why did you stick an advert into the paid app *2020-08-12* Be aware that the developers think nothing of adding an eye catching spinning advert into your paid app. They have now taken it out - so as agreed I’ve removed my 1 star review, but if you buy understand that the app may become unusable for a while if the devs decide to release a new app and they stick an advert into your paid app. ### 3/5 — Meh *2019-03-06* Not really worth the money. The activities are okay, but 2.99 okay. ### 2/5 — Parental access? *2018-10-11* The child can easily enter the parent settings and adjust. Same on the similar ABC app. I am surprised there isn’t a lock on this with a question that needs to be answered before access- as there is on other apps for small children. Would love to see this added to keep the parent section just for parents. **Developer response:** Greetings, Thank you for supporting Sesame Street apps. We have just released a fix that addresses this issue. Please update Elmo Loves 123s at your earliest convenience. Best, Sesame Workshop Apps Support ### 2/5 — I need help *2018-10-08, version 1.6.3* My son loved the free version. We paid the money to upgrade to the full version then the latest Apple Update happened (within a week). Now the app only shows half the screen. Can it get fixed? If not, can I get my money back? ### 2/5 — IOS upgrade messed up the app *2018-10-07, version 1.6.3* Just upgraded to IOS 12 and the alignment is messed up making the app unusable. Nobody noticed? ### 3/5 — Please fix! *2018-10-01, version 1.6.3* Updated my phone to the IOS 12 last week and the app hasn’t worked since. Orientation is locked vertically so we’re unable to use the app. Please fix as soon as possible. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Please update! *2018-09-23, version 1.6.3* Please update this app to working with the newest iPhone software!!!! My son loves this app and it no longer works since I updated my phone to ios12. ### 1/5 — Broken on iOS 12! Tracing not accurate at all *2018-09-19, version 1.6.3* Broken on ios 12. Stuck in portrait. Won’t landscape. Reinstall didn’t fix. Also tracing not accurate. Don't need to join dotted lines or even touch all lines for it to be successful! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — (Activities are not required for a specific purpose or function in a particular environment) *2024-01-24* Your energy interviews with kids games does not work, ‘Valentina said’ NO, She did not want kids to collect skills from children, numbers are irrelevant expensively to her child’s education system, but she issued an executive summary that says: Is it possible that children, numbers are so bad in their education systems and children’s brains that their cells don’t produce any meaningful results from their studies, or is there something wrong in their learning processes that are not consistent enough, and therefore, I don’t play numbers are so poorly designed to learn together, that children who have a problem of unlock their purchases again! Very very disappointed! ### 1/5 — Bought 2 weeks ago but I need to buy again?? *2021-09-10* I just bought the app and all the features purchased are gone?!? What can I do????? ### 1/5 — Issues with new iOS *2018-10-07, version 1.6.3* App no longer works properly. Cannot utilize it in landscape mode as it cuts off all content on right. Such a shame as I just purchased it prior to updates for my 4 year old son. Can I get a refund? ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-10-06* This seems like it could be a great app. I used the free version for a while with my child and liked it enough to buy the full version, however it will not rotate into the horizontal position so we can’t use it! So frustrating and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I’ve never had this happen with other apps. **Developer response:** Greetings, Thank you for supporting Sesame Street apps. We have just released a fix that addresses this issue. Please update Elmo Loves 123s at your earliest convenience. Best, Sesame Workshop Apps Support ### 1/5 — App doesn’t display correctly, cuts off screen *2018-10-06* The app won’t rotate, it displays offset so part of the screen is missing, it won’t rotate with the iPad either. Broken app, avoid. ### 1/5 — Got a problem! *2018-10-02, version 1.6.3* Just recently this app has developed a problem. The orientation is stuck in portrait mode and won’t change. It sporadically won’t recognize touch when tracing numbers. ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied *2018-10-01, version 1.6.3* Very disappointed in this app. Purchased and money WASTED!! My daughter can only see half the screen because it will not flip no matter what angle the phone/iPad is held. Very disappointed with this app ### 1/5 — Software issue *2018-09-30, version 1.6.3* Orientation is locked on my iPad Pro 12.9... so I can’t see half the app. Fix please ### 1/5 — Just bought it and can’t use it! *2018-09-30, version 1.6.3* I updated to iOS 12 today and then decided to purchase this app. The screen is cut off and the app is unusable. Please fix soon- my toddler and I are looking forward to playing and learning about numbers. :) ### 1/5 — Fix the screen *2018-09-23, version 1.6.3* Ever since the new iOS 12 update this app is useless on my iPad screen won’t go full mode ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-06-22* I love Elmo loves ABCs and feel the same way about its math equivalent I thought it would be the same as the alphabet one and I was right but I don’t care it’s such a good formula and fun ### 5/5 — Toddler ADORES this app *2024-06-19* My 2 year old son can’t get enough of using this app and he absolutely lovesss Elmo! He’s such a smart advanced kid I enjoy him learning through the app and navigating his way through. He has the app figured out already I don’t even have to touch anything! I love this game only downside is I have to fight my phone off my son because he can’t get enough! Thankyou Sesame Street! ### 5/5 — Jaylan *2023-05-21* Woodson ### 5/5 — Amazing app for number lovers *2023-01-12* My 2 year old loves this app and asks to play it often, it calms him and he loves doing the games too. ### 5/5 — Much loved by our four year old, though a Count oversight exists *2021-02-08* Thanks for creating a fun and intuitive app. This has kept our daughter engaged, happy and on-top of her numbers throughout lockdown. Something she, our daughter, has requested - with some urgency - is that the Count video, for number 14, is restored. As currently, there’s a Count thumbnail but a different video linked up. We’ve tried to explain that glitches/oversights happen from time-to-time with apps but this has done nothing to quell the growing frustration/conspiracy theory that Count is becoming marginalised. Please restore Count’s video to its rightful place of prominence, on number 14. For my sanity, if nothing else. Cheers, The father of a Count super fan. ### 5/5 — Love Elmo *2020-06-14* Elmo is my babyhood ### 5/5 — Great App ☺️ *2020-04-14, version 1.6.6* My son loves this app. He learnt how to trace & loves matching/counting the ladybugs. This is one of his fave apps in his iPad. Same with Elmo loves abcs ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great! *2019-02-10* My son loves this app! He is learning with this app! He Surprised me the other day and said 9! Great app for your little one to learn numbers. ### 5/5 — Favorite *2019-02-01* My 3 year old daughter's favorite app. She loves Elmo. ### 5/5 — Was broken, now fixed *2018-10-12* Latest update fixed issues, I highly recommend this app. It’s great for engaging a toddler in learning about numbers using both new and classic Sesame Street videos in an interactive manner. **Developer response:** Greetings, Thank you for supporting Sesame Street apps. We have just released a fix that addresses this issue. Please update Elmo Loves 123s at your earliest convenience.
