### 5/5 — I like this app, but...

*2026-06-11*

While I enjoy this app, there's one problem. I can't get the seasonal fun pack anymore for some reason. It was only $0.99 and now it's gone! Can you please update the app and bring back the seasonal contact so the app can be more fun? Please and thank you.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2025-06-29*

Sesame Street was and still is a very big part of me and while I’m well above the age recommendation I wanted to buy it anyway I enjoy the many features of this game especially the video portion as you get to see videos from the classic sesame street days. I love that as it evokes a lovely feeling of nostalgia. Particularly. for me the “Cookie starts with C” song does this best and I love the addition of that song into the game and appreciate it very much. I also think that from an educational standpoint children will learn their ABC’s while doing so in a fun and interactive way. Great job with this game. I

### 5/5 — Accordion

*2024-11-23*

I have the full version which is almost the best app ever. Only problem is American words; I am British and I pronounce Z as “zed” not “zee”, and say “courgette” not “zucchini”.

### 2/5 — It’s a trick

*2024-11-11*

The app was great until now the new app icon is popping up on the screen nonstop trying to get us to upgrade again. My son can’t even play the app now because of the icon and there is no way to make it go away unless you upgrade or buy other games. Terrible. I want a refund
