I have a new iPad Pro and on the newest software version so it’s not the iPad. App needs bug fixes. ### 2/5 — Really disappointing app *2023-09-30, version 2.1* My nephew loves Elmo’s World, so I thought he’d love this app. There’s not much to the app at all, just some old Elmo’s World videos, and then to even access the “games” tab you have to pay more. Really disappointing, not worth it at all. ### 5/5 — Thank you Elmo *2022-07-23, version 1.1* You’re welcome ### 3/5 — Must purchase more *2020-12-27, version 1.1* The games section is not included in the purchase price. 3 sections of this app and one of them is greyed out and costs extra. Ridiculous. ### 5/5 — it’s good *2020-12-01, version 1.1* Nothing’s wrong ### 2/5 — Not impressed *2020-07-14, version 1.1* First of all, highly priced for the amount of content. Second, why the ad for app add-on constantly in the corner? It literally spinning in the corner asking my son to touch it, and it opens the screen to buy more. It keeps him from being able to use the app when he gets stuck on that screen. It’s an app for kids, you’d think this was common sense. ### 2/5 — Not enough games *2020-06-22, version 1.1* Too much video. Not enough interactive games ### 2/5 — Crashes a lot! *2020-06-05, version 1.1* My 2 year old daughter loves this app but it keeps crashing. It's really frustrating us! ### 4/5 — Great but one functional issue *2020-05-17, version 1.1* My two year old loves this - but the prominent link to purchase more apps should not be so easily accessible on the active page. Her fine motor skills are still developing and she often accidentally swipes or leans her hand on the more apps button - which takes her to a lock screen that I have to help her get out of. ### 1/5 — what is this *2020-05-02, version 1.1* bad ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Torture *2025-05-13, version 2.1* Cute app but like way too many of these Sesame Street ones it is really disappointing that it constantly shows your kid games they can’t access without you paying another $5 for what is essentially one tiny bit of an app. Either your kid is miserable or you are constantly shelling out more money. ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS APP *2025-05-04, version 2.1* Complete waste of money I’m getting a refund immediately ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-07-23* Not worth the money… Pointless. My 3 yo lost interest after 1 minute. I wasn’t impressed either ### 1/5 — In-App purchases make this app feel like a scam *2023-05-06, version 2.1* The app itself is fun, but all the in-app purchases target little ones to just keep wanting the new games. It is endless and feels like a scam. ### 1/5 — Watch the show on TV, not very interactive waste of money *2023-03-17, version 2.1* Watch the show on TV, not very interactive, waste of money ### 1/5 — Paid version still has ads *2022-11-29, version 1.1* Paid over $7 for this app and there is still a floating ad to buy more games. It’s so frustrating when my toddler clicks on it and can’t get back to the app until I have to close it for her. So ridiculous that you charge that much and still have ads. What a shame. ### 1/5 — Waste *2022-04-27, version 1.1* So sad we actually spent money on this app. There is absolutely nothing to do on it and a complete waste of money. Would love to have our money back. ### 1/5 — Freezes all the time *2022-04-07, version 1.1* My 2 year old like it’s but it freezes a lot which makes him get very upset. I also don’t like being asked to pay for more features in an app I already paid for. Selling add ons in a kids app is just distasteful. ### 1/5 — Difficult to turn off *2022-03-14, version 1.1* Can’t get it to turn off!!! Stuck on phone. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-06-15, version 1.1* I bought this and it froze within 2 minutes. We can’t even use it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the bubbles on the screen *2025-06-25, version 2.1* If i tap the screen, I can make bubbles whatever i want! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-06-22, version 2.1* Sesame Street was my childhood. So, to find a game that has Elmo’s World was a dream come true. Although, I would have liked more content. I did purchase the final episode in the game. And it’s Okey for what it is all in all. I love this game. ### 5/5 — Elmo’s World And You *2025-03-01, version 2.1* 5 Stars ### 5/5 — sesame street *2025-02-28, version 2.1* skddod ### 5/5 — Birthdays Firefighters and shopping pets *2025-01-29, version 2.1* Hands dogs and shopping singing ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2025-01-29, version 2.1* I like this a lot games beaches, pets, fun! ### 5/5 — Elmo *2024-11-16, version 2.1* I’m not sure if you can get this app. Try now, I finished! Time to restart! ### 5/5 — My Kiddos FAVORITE *2024-03-16, version 1.1* If your kid likes Elmo’s World, this app is packed with games and mini videos, for preschool age + ASD little ones. ### 5/5 — Jaylan *2024-01-01, version 2.1* Woodson ### 5/5 — u *2022-09-28, version 1.1* I --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
