### 3/5 — It’s good, but…

*2026-01-02*

1. There’s a lack of word combinations on the device I use (only “b_t, b_g, p_t”)
2. The game states you can create 90 or more words or something similar but on my device, there’s only 15
3. Why were the combinations with blends and some CVC combinations removed

### 2/5 — Used to be 5 stars…

*2023-09-13*

I paid for the full version of this game a few times now over the last several years. All of a sudden, there is now an advertisement block in the bottom right hand corner that covers some of he functions of the game. Are you guys serious?! We recently introduced our autistic two year old to the game and it has been amazing at helping his speech. Now, I guess the game was updated, it has this stupid advertisement directly in the way of some of the buttons and it has now become a trigger point for getting upset, because he cannot close it by himself. Thanks a lot, Sesame Street. You took peoples money to unlock the full game and get rid of advertisements and now you’re forcing us to have an ad LITERALLY IN THE WAY OF THE GAME. Shame on you, greedy POSs.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-02-11, version 3.0.1*

I can’t scroll to enter the number for the parent code to get into the settings to see if this app gets any more advanced than decorating Bowles and feeding them to monsters. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Cookies

*2025-05-11*

the fact you are not in any way advocating to make tether or any of the other platforms a viable option is a good idea and a great idea to keep the platform in mind when it is not just the most popular option to make money and keep the platform alive and to make it a good choice to invest and keep the community in a stable place and to make the best use possible for the future for your users in your community is an important step for you and I hope and your project in this time to make sure that the platform can continue and keep in your community as long as you can get there are some of the most promising future is the future and the future of this platform will come along and we all have to be a good project is the future will come out to make the future is the future we are all in the best project that you have a good future will come back stronger and we are always looking forward for us all have fun

### 5/5 — Great for my child learning phonics and letters! MUST BUY FOR CHILDREN WHO NEED TO LEARN

*2026-03-08*

It was a good $2 well spent. My children has been a lot in their iPads in this game. I loved them to see them learning.

### 5/5 — It’s good, I love it

*2026-01-25*

If it’s in square brackets, it doesn’t matter [1. There’s a lack of word combinations on the device I use (only “b_t, b_g, p_t”)
2. The game states you can create 90 or more words or something similar but on my device, there’s only 15
3. Why were the combinations with blends and some CVC combinations removed] (Edit 1/2: I figured out the game adjusts automatically, but I have 1 new issue, the game keeps gets sent back to older combinations that were already done)(Edit 2/2: I don’t like that a few combinations only works for one vowel, which are the following: (g_ft, cl_m) Suggestions: | More Blends: There’s a blend at the beginning and at the end like for an example (st_ck, works on 80% of the vowels, words are stack, stick, stock, & stuck.) | More Letters. Letters that didn’t exist would be added which are q (nearly impossible since Q has to be followed by a U and then another vowel that isn’t U, w, x, y, z, Ideas for the topic, qu_ck, w_nt, z_p, w_x, y_m | Printables, Customizable Word Building Levels, & Multiple User Profiles: Just to be more accessible. | Sorry this is really long)

### 5/5 — Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen

*2024-09-08*

I was really upset that theres no 4 letter words on this game, 9.1/10

### 5/5 — A must-buy!!!

*2024-07-01*

My parents got this app for my little sister just because I had it too and she wanted to play it with me, and she reached a whole new milestone. You see, she is in a spectrum and we’re trying to get her out of it. One day while spelling words in the app, she was actually saying the word! Now, she can read! Just basic things though. She once couldn’t talk, but now she can read! Developers, you guys did a good job making this app, because of it my little sister reached a whole new milestone! Thank you!

### 5/5 — I love Elmo

*2023-09-14, version 2.6.2*

Elmo is fun game
