I have on download and re-downloaded the app, but I still get the same issue is there a fix to this? the videos work fine, it’s just a games that won’t work. ### 3/5 — Screen goes black when in game *2026-01-20* When playing a game the screen often goes black but you can still hear the sounds. ### 3/5 — HOHO HAHA *2025-05-31, version 4.1.0* the characters are creepy and I don’t like the games. The videos are boring. And this is me ### 5/5 — 10 out of 10 *2024-05-31, version 4.1.0* Would recommend to a friend ### 5/5 — omg! *2024-05-10, version 4.1.0* omg i used to watch Sesame Street now I know about pbs kids I’ve been (idk) watching it lately it’s showing sesame roads yay my childhood thx ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2024-03-23, version 4.1.0* It doesn’t work all the time and I’d really like a paid version to be able to watch the videos offline. ### 2/5 — No sound on iPad *2023-10-21, version 4.1.0* The games have no sound on the ipad. ### 5/5 — Very good app! *2023-07-11, version 4.1.0* I love this Sesame Street game for kids! it is very addictive and find free your little ones who love Sesame Street! It has many games and many fun things for your kid and you to do together as a family. But I do want you to update it with only a few things. In the game I would like to have an achievement section so that you can track your Sesame Street goals along the way. I also want a Sesame Street shop so you can shop for fine Sesame Street toys or snacks. And I would like for you to make fun stickers for iMessage from this app. These are the only things that I want you to update it with but otherwise it is a very very VERY fun game I absolutely love it it is a musket so you and your child can build healthy habits for a lifetime! they are so many fun games and videos to watch and to play. You can play with your favorite Sesame Street characters like Elmo and Abby. since this is on PBS kids I want you to add the games from PBS Kids onto the Sesame Street app so if you don’t have PBS Kids you can still play on the Sesame Street app. very fun for the whole family and your kids will love that amazing app! I think that you need more educational videos and more music videos from Sesame Street and I want you to update it with more Sesame Street videos so you can watch Sesame Street directly from the app. Still it’s a very fun and addictive game I would recommend getting this app for your iPhone iPad. The game is most likely perfect for toddlers who are expecting a little brother or sister in mom’s huge pregnant belly because they can teach them healthy habits. I also think it’s pretty good because I do not think that you need Wi-Fi to play the games and it works from anywhere. When I was expecting a baby girl I wanted her to become smart so I got her a tablet with the Sesame Street app on it and waited 4 months for her. And she loves the app! Must get! ### 5/5 — Grateful *2023-06-11, version 4.1.0* I am so grateful for this app. It’s great when I’m trying to get something’s done and my daughter can play a learning game or watch her favorite character’s videos. She has started learning the alphabet in Spanish because of this app. ### 5/5 — Sesame Street *2023-04-17, version 4.1.0* I love Sesame Street it’s such a cute show ### 4/5 — Please fix volume for iPad *2023-03-01, version 4.1.0* My son loves this game, but the volume does not work on his iPad. It continually says that silent mode is on, which it is not. Please fix this bug ### 2/5 — It doesn’t work most of the time. *2022-12-20* This is one of the only apps that holds my daughter’s interest and doesn’t have ads so I was excited. For the first hour, there were zero issues. However, the longer I’ve had the app, it’s been more glitchy. I constantly have to turn guided access off to close and reopen the app or even restart the iPad because videos or games won’t work. They’ll display a black screen with a circle in the center that never fixes itself. Once that shows up, other parts of the app stop working. This happens every 1-2 videos or games so it’s constantly happening and it’s become incredibly annoying. Probably gonna have to delete the app because I can’t keep fumbling with this app every two seconds when it’s meant to hold my daughters attention long enough for me to get something important done. ### 4/5 — Latest update doesn’t allow videos to play. *2022-12-11* It takes multiple attempts at opening the app and closing it (quit) to get a video to play. Once a video plays if you try to go to the next video it doesn’t work and you have to quit the app and reopen and hope it works. When it doesn’t work it just sits at the black loading screen with the circle going. ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2022-11-15, version 4.1.0* Ughhh…this am is FANTASTIC, when it works which is not a lot of the time. It either freezes going to a video or after playing a game. Constantly having to exit out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It is unstable *2026-01-06, version 4.1.0* Won’t open says I need internet connection but this app is the only one that won’t work ### 1/5 — All but two games are fun *2025-02-19, version 4.1.0* Super salad diner is too stressful,the pinball machine game doesn’t let you go to twelve,it’s making my head hurt and the timer makes me nervous,I almost broke my tablet,can you take them off and put in new games please? ### 1/5 — Removed app *2023-04-20, version 4.1.0* I don’t want my grandchildren watching a trans Elmo and Cookie Monster. Over the years, the wokeness has bothered me, but it has gone to far. Don’t shove it down our throat! ### 1/5 — You made a mistake…. *2023-04-17, version 4.1.0* My grandkid’s loved Sesame Street ever sence the very first episode but everybody I’m telling you THIS NEEDS TO STOP and here’s why every time someone makes a MEME it can ruin childhoods and Sesame Street ones are worse than you think it’s like 10 times worse a sesame meme has threatened to kill a CHILD if the. Memes stop it all stops just don’t make them its not hard ### 1/5 — Does not work on secure networks *2023-04-14, version 4.1.0* My son loves this app, but it does not work in secure networks. The logic to setup hard-coded connections to 3rd party DNS providers is bogus and no other application is doing this. Please just use my network-configured DNS server. Why is a children’s application is trying to bypass a network’s parental internet filters? ### 1/5 — Please update your video playback again *2023-01-15, version 4.1.0* This is a great app. My daughter loves it… but videos don’t play anymore and that’s all she wants to do on it right now. Once this app updates I know my rating will change from a 1 to a 5 ### 1/5 — It WAS great BUT…. *2022-04-21, version 4.1.0* We loved this app, had it for years but the other day I noticed a new song my 4-year-old was watching…it was a grown man in a tuxedo dress. I wish there was a way to block this video. I am not ok with this. It is MY job to teach and protect MY children. Goodbye Sesame Street! ### 1/5 — Does not work on secure networks *2022-02-21, version 4.1.0* My son loves this app. After the big update, it stopped working on our home network and would only work on cellular. Turns out, the application is trying to open TCP connections to Google, OpenDNS, and Cloudflare on port 53 to determine if the application has internet access or not. This is a problem on secure networks, because connections to external (unfiltered) DNS providers is regularly blocked. To make the problem worse, is specifically use TCP instead of UDP. On a secure network, UPD is regularly captured and redirected to the local DNS server to ensure all apps work as expected- but this is a problem with TCP. Long story short, please stop determining internet connectivity by querying DNS providers over TCP. Just do a simple DNS query over UDP with a predefined timeout please. ### 1/5 — App used to be great *2022-01-08* In the past few month the app is suddenly stuck in offline mode despite being connected to Wifi. Have tried reinstalling several times and it isn’t fixing the problem. Please fix this error! ### 1/5 — Don’t download :( :< *2021-09-18, version 4.1.0* The worst game for little kids and big kids not much learning for people never ever ever download this game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unknown date *2026-01-26, version 4.1.0* 2th April 2026 ### 5/5 — Skylar *2025-10-14, version 4.1.0* Volinsky ### 5/5 — It is the best for my kids *2025-09-27, version 4.1.0* My kids are three and four and they love this game ### 5/5 — Love sesame street *2025-09-19, version 4.1.0* I love Sesame Street sense i was four years old but now I’m eight years old and I still love this game ### 5/5 — Great job on this *2025-06-25* The perfect app first of all no ads second of all no glitches third of all all the games but I want one thing I want for games from the old version getting added so please but I love it so much I give it a five star😃😃💫💫💫 ### 5/5 — Elmo’s World: Games issue. *2025-01-06* There’s an issue on digging stuff that are like shapes in Elmo’s World: Games. Please make an update and don’t forget to fix the bugs too. ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2024-12-28* My 3yo is obsessed with this app-- she has been for over a year now. No commercials. Always teaching her. She easily navigates through it. There are so many instances where she applies what she has learned from Sesame Street. The only con is it occasionally lags/freezes in a game, but this is minor from all the game offers. HIGHLY recommend!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-10-27* Fantastic app my kids both love it and have never had issues with sound ect ### 5/5 — Please fix the learning areas section! *2024-09-29, version 4.1.0* Im trying to find my favorite video in the math section and all it does is still load! please fix!🥺 ### 5/5 — Sesame Street is Fun *2024-09-07, version 4.1.0* I love the Sesame Street app. It is fun and educational. I love playing games there. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
