Elmo Calls user reviews :

My 2 yr old loves this and loves pretending to answer the phone and talk to elmo. But my god, why make a hang up button at all?? When he’s holding it to his ear it hits END CALL every single time. It’s unbelievably frustrating for both of us. I no doubt would be buying all the call packs if this wasn’t such a big issue. Im going to end up deleting the app which breaks my heart bc my kid loves it but it just causes too much upset because of this USELESS, too-sensitive END CALL BUTTON.

AWFUL. My pre-schooler LOVED this, but it quit working and said it needed an update. It would not install the update, even though there was ample storage. I was then advised to uninstall and reinstall the app. Going on a month now, and it still won’t download. I don’t have a janky phone either- not that it should matter, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S21, so it’s not even like it’s outdated or can’t handle the load. My girl has been absolutely heartbroken that Elmo doesn’t call her anymore.

  • Greetings, we pushed an update (2.5.1) that should fix your installation problem. Please contact us at sesameworkshopapps[at]sesame.org if you continue to experience issues.

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…

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.

My kid loves this app and Elmo. I therefore bought all the extra movies. My annoyance is with the quality of these video’s. Who edited these and why can’t they do their job properly? In most of the videos Elmo is floating above the scenery or above black bars. He never seems to be in line with the scenery. Makes for ugly viewing. It could also be a technical issue with my particular phone. If so, some extra video settings would not be a bad idea. I just think it is sloppy work for a paid app.

My child loves this app. She is 17 months old and I started playing the app for her at 10months. Around 11months she became obsessed with the app. I feel like it’s more than just something fun for the child. I believe that it also has some educational and developmental benefits. It’s worth downloading for your little one(s).

Update: The latest fix did allow me to install this on Android 12. There is a more button in the grown up section that is greyed out. Everything else seems to work OK. This app refuses to install on Android 12 using 2 different phones. Even a refreshed phone. Had sent information to developer and Google and have received nothing.
