### 2/5 — Mid or something

*2025-05-30*

It forced me to put camera mode on is this apart of the app ? Because I don’t really like this feature if it is.

### 2/5 — please make it free

*2025-05-05*

i downloaded tho for my daughter and she got to play one song and watch one freeze dance before i had to pay for stuff please make it easy use and cheap thank you

### 2/5 — Can you please make all the things free please.

*2025-02-27*

I only got to play one song and the rest you have to pay for. Please make it free so we van use this ap more thank you. And I love Sesame Street 😃 😄

### 2/5 — Постоянно зависает

*2023-10-05*

Очень сырое приложение, виснет при выборе масок, при записи видео, при сохранении. Приходится выходить и по новой всё создавать 10 раз. Даже бесплатно не стоит мучений, а уж за подписку тем более. Детям одно расстройство. Разработчику двойку за поведение

### 4/5 — Great

*2023-04-16*

My 4yo loves the game but it constantly freezes and crashes. Very frustrating. Would be a 5 star review without all the glitches.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2022-08-20*

How is this thing getting any reviews. All you have is Elmo and when you record it plays some stupid dumb song instead of your voice. For other characters or games you have to pay $2 dollars a month.
