Ratings and reviews

My child loves Elmo and loves the video calls! Definitely worth paying a little extra for more calls. I do wish the end call button could have a setting to toggle on and off from the call screen. That way small kids don't hang up right away as they tend to hold phones from the bottom and their thumbs hang up the calls easily.

Overall good but one annoying bug has persisted for years. The screen does not stay on while the calls are playing back. Most apps that play video will prevent the screen from sleeping but not this app. I have to consistently tap the screen to keep it awake or else playback stops. Feels like it could be an easy fix...

Purchased the pack for set calls/alarms. When the set time comes the phone says "it's Elmo calling" once and then when we get into the app nothing happens. There is no call about brushing teeth or getting ready for bed as I have set. Also the timers then reset after each one passes, so even it is did work you would have to set it up each day which could be quite frustrating.
