Yay!. I usually don't spend this much on an app, but this one is worth it!! It is great for toddlers, though they will need lots of initial support to trace letters. It's an excellent way to learn letter recognition and sounds. I really like that you can add your own picture or video to the letters. You can also view your child's record of incorrect answers and favorite/most chosen letters and options. It's these bells and whistles that make it worth the $.

What happened?. I initially downloaded the free version of this app about 5 months ago and my then 10 month old loved it so I bought the full version. The app worked great at the beginning and I liked having more than three letters to play with, as you can imagine it can get a little repetitive. However, about a month ago the app started crashing and now we can't see the three objects once we draw the letters. I've tried raving it and installing it again but the problem continues. Any suggestions developers?

Taught child the ABC's. This app was fabulous due to the fact that unbeknownst to me my 3 year old was taught the entire alphabet! It has entertaining games, video clips, and rewards for tracing the letter and choosing the correct answer. It's great for kids who can't trace the letter exactly, like some apps require. This app is perfect for the beginner all the way up to the advanced. I recommend the app to all my friends whenever I can. Worth the money!

Too many videos. My son loves this app , he also learn all the abc letters mostly from this app and he is only 2 years old. however, this app have many many short videos, and it's almost like having him watching tv, for long long minutes at a time. Now he knows all his abc's , so I removed the app from the iPad , and he still ask for it , even a month after its gone.

Crashes none of the functions work. My son loves the lite version so we purchased the full version for him to do the rest of the alphabet. However it crashes most of the time when you open it, and if it doesn’t crash then, none of the operations within the app function. He can only watch the same videos in the app that were available to him in the free version. Very disappointed that I paid for a nonfunctional app.

Less helpful than earlier versions. The new parental and personal features are nice, but the app seems to sacrifice some of the feedback form earlier versions. For example, the previous version would say "Elmo thinks you picked a great letter." each time the child would choose a letter. That's misinform now. There were also more vocal instructions for the letter games. They don't play now making it unclear what the child is supposed to do. I'm not sure why these things are missing. Maybe it's a bug because this little bit of audio can't take much space. Hopefully these will be fixed soon.

A must have for ages 1 1/2 and up!. My daughter loves Elmo and this app has been invaluable for play and education. It's creative and fun. Just today she surprised me with saying veggie after seeing and dancing the veggie dance under the letter V. There are many many skills used in this app. It's a big one to download but a total must have!

Please fix this. So I was making a funny card and it won’t let me save it and this is garbage trash 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Loved the app until...... Loved this app until we downloaded the full version.....it won't download the other letters. My daughter loves this one and wants to have the other letters and we can't get them. Very disappointing. And it was the first app I ever bought because I was leery about spending money and getting ripped off.....I guess they can keep the $5. UPDATE.....look at the last page of apps. It loads separately. The app is 5 stars!!!

New update to support retina - breaks air support. New update looks great, but on my iPad air it is worse. You can't trace the letters because the image it shows is different from the letter you have to trace, so you just have to scribble around to figure it out. Most notably uppercase J you have to trace the hat, but it isn't in the picture. Also the audio recording isn't working for custom cards. Great update, otherwise. Please fix the tracing thing ASAP because my kids can't get past the tracing part.

Great app!. This app is great! I originally had the lite version but my 20 month old liked it so much that I thought I would splurge and get the full version. Now when we go out, she recognizes letters and tells me which ones they are and she's not even 2 yet! I attribute most of that to this app. The only sound complaint I have is that sometimes it seems like it's playing two sets of audio at the same time, only off by a second or two, which is kind of annoying. Other than that, I haven't had the other audio problems other reviewers are mentioning. I think this app is well worth the price!

Don't love anymore. My daughter is non verbal and absolutely loved this app...the older version. I upgraded the operating system and now have this crappy version. She can't find her songs anymore and it flickers in and out. The alphabet doesn't run around the screen anymore at the star and that was her favorite part. For a mentally disabled child this was the high point for us to hear her laugh when Elmo's calls out the letters. Bring back the old elmo. You have taken a sick child's joy away.

Paid app has advertisements for other apps in it. I don’t usually write reviews for apps but I feel like I should for this one. This app has an advertisement in it that catches the eye of every single child who would ever use it and because of it the kid ends of clicking on the app advertisement instead of playing the game that we paid for him to play I think that this is a bad move and that they should reconsider how attentive attention grabbing that advertisement is so until they make a change so that my son can actually play the game rather than have his attention drawn to the bottom right corner every time he tries to do some thing. I am giving this a one star review and you bet that I’ll be watching because we are stuck inside because of coronavirus thanks for listening to my Ted talk

Needs some improvement. It is very difficult to trace the letters even as a parent I get frustrated on how the tracing on this app works. It doesn't utilize the whole screen so there’s a lot of waisted space which results in all of the buttons being very small. The whole point of the app is tracing the letter you select so if they make tracing simpler (for toddlers) it would be a whole lot better! It is very difficult to trace the letters. The app lags constantly. They also don’t utilize the full screen so there’s a lot of waisted space which results in all of the buttons being very small. If they could fix the lagging and make tracing simpler (for toddlers) it would be a whole lot better! The videos and songs are great but function of the app is missing the mark.

Sound Issues???. My 20 month old loves Elmo and this APP is great but there is a sound issue....I just purchased the full version because I thought it would solve the issue but it didn't solve the sound issue. The games portion of the app has no sound...only when Elmo talks and the videos.. are working. Am I missing something?

Awesome app!. Wow! This app is bursting from the seams with fun stuff! My 16 month old constantly plays with this and even I love to watch all the cute videos. As a child of the 80's, I was raised on Sesame St., so it brings back good memories. It's still too complicated for her to play independently ( she can't trace the letters), but with a little help she is entertained for quite a while!

Great app, very educational. I purchased this app gor my 1 year + boy, he loves it. I love how they introduce each letter with 3 different objects. The little video is definitely eyes catching, as my little guy veryfocus on it. He even starts say some of the words after they said it. I guess he really does learn letters and words by spending all these time on this app. Highly recommend this app.

Don't buy this AP.. At $4.99 for an AP, I think the sound should work properly. I bought this for my preschool students who are still working on letter recognition. There is a terrible echo that makes Elmo really hard to understand most of the time. It's really annoying and incredibly frustrating for my students. Were it not for this problem, I would give this AP 5 stars. But at this point I feel that I've wasted money when I could have purchased a cheaper AP that actually works.

Overall great app!. Great for teaching letter recognition to toddlers. Covers both upper and lower case letters. Has some touch sensitivity issues when my 3 year old tries to trace the letters which is the only reason I am not awarding 5 stars. Even I had some difficulties getting my tracings to work. (Found fingertips work best.)

Excellent. I have had no issues with sound nor video on this app, and the video quality is exceptional. There is a plethora for young children to do with this app and it should be an excellent tool for two to four year olds who are learning about different objects and letter recognition.

Please Fix!. This was my daughter's favorite app before it stopped working. It was very glitchy and then I saw there was an update. So I did the update and the glitches remained. So I followed the advice on here and reinstalled it. Now it is the worst it has ever been! The instructions are gone. Elmo used to prompt you to trace letter and what have you, now there is no sound most of the time. You select a letter and it is silent. How does thar help with learning? It freezes all the time, and won't select things when tapped. Please fix, or give us our money back. This app is pure junk now!

Fantastic App - Entertaining Learning!. I love this app, one of the most engaging and entertaining apps I have purchased for my child. She loves learning with Elmo and there is just so much to do and see in the app. The new updates really add lots of fun and we are having great fun with it, especially with the camera. Highly recommended.

Elmo's Lovin' His ABCs Even Slowed My Two-Year-Old Grandson Down!. Apollo, my two-year-old grandson, is on the go constantly exploring everything (think getting into!) he comes in contact with UNTIL I introduced him to ELMO LOVES ABCs on my iPad. This app is perfect for his learning and his imagination. There is plenty to do--choosing letters to trace, coloring as he traces them, singing along with Elmo, watching great video clips, and coloring in Sesame Street characters that he loves. And there's a lot more to do. One of my favorite things is that after I've made the 2 hour drive home, Apollo can color another masterpiece on the app, and his mom can easily snap a photo of it with her own iPad and text or email it to me. GREAT APP!

Great App. I bought this app for my daughter when she was about a year old and she only played with it a couple times. Now she is 2 1/2 and she LOVES the numbers and letters app!!!!she asks to play with it every day and has gotten so good at tracing the numbers and letters. We have never had any issues with the app and it works great!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!. I hate it when after you purchase an app, they add… excuse me, I mean "enable" in-app purchases! Especially for children's apps. I know you can disable purchases blah blah blah in settings, but I also used apps and hate switching back and forth. It is one thing to buy an app well aware that it has in -app purchases, but quite another to add it later, kind of sneaking it in. If you want to add more material that is not free, make another app. I for sure wouldn't mind if you add more content to this app, but for cry'in out loud, NOT with in-app purchases!!!!!!!!!!

Great. I purchased this app for my 19 month old grandson to keep his attention during church. Not a good idea. He was playing for only about 5 minutes before he was repeating the letters and sounds and absolutely loved Elmo. Great app just not for quiet time. It kept his attention, the videos and variety was worth it. I wish all educational apps were this good. Definitely 5 stars.

Fun app. I love this app! All of my kids have loved using it since 2012. My one year old son laughs and smiles at Elmo, and enjoys the videos the most. The cards are a fun idea too! My oldest helps my son draw the letters, and on his own he colors the pictures and does the “hide and seek” feature (drawing on the screen to reveal the letter pictures) 5/5! Definitely recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good content but takes a lot of space. It's a heavy duty app with lots to do. My 2 yr old loves it. With so many things to touch on the screen and a 3 sec delay, there are a lot of wrong buttons pushed and triple taps where you just sit and wait for app to catch up. ( good for teaching patience I guess.) after selecting a letter, the letters should go away and return when done with the selected letter. This would solve the accidental taps and frustration. Good learning game, just needs better design.

My kids loves it!. I have a 3 years old and a 1 and a half year old, they both now can recognize several letters even outside of this game. They will just grab a book and start pointing at letters and naming them. This game is very fun and has a lot of educational content. Best purchase in a long time!

Wonderful game. My littlest started playing this game for about 10-15 minutes most mornings about 4 months ago. I haven't taught him any letters otherwise (he's only two, and we have focused on leaving colors and shapes), but his letter recognition is fantastic because of this game. There are probably 100 short videos included and each letter has three corresponding objects. Once he's a bit older there are more games (tough the picture that starts with the sound "eh") to help him learn not only the names of the letters, but the sound it makes. Well done, Sesame Street!

AWESOME!. It's amazing how much my son has learned from this app. At 2 1/2 he can identify uppercase and lowercase letters, and he had so much fun learning it! This app has given us respite when out to dinner, waiting in line, grocery shopping, or doing anything else that a toddler has no patience for. There is so much to do, all in one app. This only downside about the app is that they have to “write” the letter by tracing an outline to unlock the letter, every time. I would suggest having an arrow or button to push to skip this step for the younger kids. But it also requires parent and child to do the app together, which is not a bad thing. Overall, a very education and fun app.

Awesome Value Great Learning. Wow, this is an amazing app especially for the price! You get so much of the Sesame Street archives in video form plus there are several games and Elmo is his usual fantastic self. If you love Sesame Street then this is an absolute must! If you just want a great alphabet app then this is a must too. We are super happy and impressed!

Helpful and Fun!. I purchased this app for my almost two-year-old son, who absolutely adores Elmo. The directions are a little advanced for him, so he has a hard time "doing" what Elmo says. Nonetheless, he enjoys trying to draw the letters and coloring the pictures that are associated with the specified word; but he likes the videos the best. We work together to complete the tasks, and he's learning how to follow the prompts. I especially like this app because there are varying levels of difficulty in play. I think this app would be great for 2-4 year-olds who are practicing their alphabet and need reinforcement. I have a background in elementary education, and I think this is a great tool to assist children in practicing their letters at home or on the go. In response to those people saying that this app is not worth the money, consider how expensive Sesame Street toys are if purchased in the store. Rather than spending money on an action figure of Elmo, I would suggest investing less than $5 on this educational app.

AMAZING!!! Best App for a Toddler!. My nephew absolutely loves this app. He's playing with it right now as we speak. This is very, very interactive. He has to draw the letter to play the activities for each letter and there are 9 activities per letter. I literally sit my nephew down with my iPad and he will play Elmo ABCs until I tell him to stop. I thought he would get tired of it within a few months but no. Best Babysitting Tool out there!

Perfect. This game is absolutely perfect. My three year old loves it. She went from playing this game on and off for a week to identifying letters and knowing what words start with which letter. It literally advanced her alphabet knowledge farther in one week than the last 8 months in preschool. It's a fun game to watch her play and filled with classic Sesame Street video clips. The best feature by far is that all of the video and audio are downloaded to your device, meaning no Internet connection is required to play. HIGHLY recommend.

Wish I hadn't updated. The old version wasn't perfect, but I'm not liking that you only get two videos with each letter now, the introduction has changed (my daughter really enjoyed the old one) and it crashes when you try to play hide and seek (as well as when you play the letter game) I'm not looking forward to showing this update to my daughter as I can imagine she'll be upset with it. Not what I was looking for in an update. Boo!

Letter sound error. My great-nephew loves playing on this app. However, as a retired teacher, I was dismayed that Elmo and the astronaut both said ahhh for the "a" sound. The letter "o" makes the ahhh sound while "a" makes the short a sound. I just bought the whole app for him, so I hope there are no more errors with letter sounds. Hopefully, you can change this problem with an upgrade.

Great app!. This is an amazing app full of fun loving sesame street skits and characters old and new! My 2 year old really likes it and it keeps him busy for quite a while because there are many different facets to each letter screen and many fun songs too. This app is well worth the money and I highly recommend it for any preschool aged kid!

Who doesn't love Elmo!!. Seriously, who doesn't love elmo! My 2.5 year old loves tracing the letters to get the three things that pop up on the bottom. He loves getting to touch the images and see a video play. He's also starting to discover the other fun features in the app so it keeps him entertained for long periods of time!

Elmo comes to live!. My son is 5 years old. He likes this app that he will ask to play with Elmo again and again(instead of watching the Elmo, he said play with Elmo). He told me Elmo is talking to him, and he will dance with Elmo while watching the videos in the app. Overall, it's fun and educational. It's more than just ABC, he learns vocabulary, too. It has singing, coloring, and his favorite popping the bubbles after finishing the hide & seek game. He likes Thomas the train usually, but he likes Elmo's app more than Thomas's app.

My 2 Year Old Loves It. My 23 month old is still learning his letters, but he's moving along much faster with the help of this app. He loves the ABC songs that it plays, those keep him busy for a while all by themselves. Plus, it's Elmo, so how can you go wrong? App works great, no crashing, and is very kid friendly with no buttons for him to push that are going to charge me money. Great deal all the way around!

Fantastic, loved by ~3 year old. My son has asked for this app every night since we downloaded it. He adores is. It has great content, but I love that you can customize with your own videos. He really enjoys seeing family members in the game. Tracing is a bit frustrating at first for little ones, but it's good skill development and works well for co-viewing with an adult or older sibling.

2 year old. My 2 year old really enjoys all of the options in this app, including drawing, videos and games, and I love that she gets to learn while she’s playing, but I’m disappointed that I cannot get the make your own card feature to work. Every time I try, it freezes and I have to restart the app.

Great app. I am giving it 4 stars because the screen is super sensitive. One wrong touch and whatever you are watching is cut off. This very much upsets my daughter. The app itself is great. It's fun and entertaining. My daughter loves the videos and the coloring pages. It's great for learning. The Sesame Street company did a great job. Just try to fix the screen sensitivity so it does not interrupt video or whatever you are doing. Maybe a button can come up asking if you want to stop the video. Not really sure how to fix that problem.

Application problems. We've used this app for over a year now and with iOS updates more and more parts of the application have began having issues. Son loves it and I credit it to helping him learn the alphabet quickly and efficiently but it is hard to explain to a toddler that what he wants to do no longer works (like the letter identification game) Definitely listen to the other reviews and don't buy this until you see an update after March 2015.

Speech Delay Momma Approved. My 2.5 year old daughter has been in speech therapy for over a year. We recently had a big word explosion (her first ever). Tonight she read off every letter on a book about colors, completely unprompted. I know it's because of this app. We live in a rural area and she gets to play this game on trips to Target as the store is 45 mins away. I also love that the videos that play are not contingent on web access, they are built into the download so they will always play no matter what. I don't often pay for preschool apps but I am so so glad we paid for this one.

My children's favorite app. My children play this for hours and both my two year old and my four year old have greatly expanded their vocabulary directly because of this app. They've even been ahead in their preschool because of the "Elmo game". I can't see how anyone could give this a negative review!

Ok. Well, I thought this would be a wonderful app for 2 year old! But like some other people have said, there is no sound on many of the pages! This makes it very difficult for my son to know what to do. I just hope that this is fixed in an update sometime soon! We loved the lite version and we pretty excited about this one too, only to be disappointed!

Great App for Toddlers. This is by far my 2 year olds favorite app! He loves the videos and coloring options and is starting to be able to trace the letters himself but mostly still asks for help with that. He knows almost all of his alphabet because of the app and his doctors are blown away! Definitely the best iPad purchase I've made for him.

App Has Major Issues. I have used the Lite version of this app and it worked fine; however, when I downloaded the full version today for my son it has not worked properly. Every time my son selects a letter the app automatically mutes my iPad which causes him to miss instructions and the sound portions of each of the videos for the letters. My son is only 18 months so he is not at the point yet where he can recognize the issue and unmute the device. Once this issue is fixed it will be a four-five star app, but until then it isn't functional.

Unable to download. Took my money though.

Nostalgia Plus.... Thrilled with this app - a fine mix of education and fun, and nostalgia for parents who grew up in the 80s! Worth upgrading from lite and the huge download. My son doesn't want to do anything else...

Great!. Elmo talks all the way thru this, really excellent my daughter loves it. Only problem is some of the vids are from the 70s and 80s and the sound level goes up and down too much between videos ... Needs normalizing

😡😡😡. It won’t download but charged us anyway 😡😡😡

Funny. People please get this app the videos are sooooo funny

Awesome app for little ones. This is such a great app for kids! The best bit is the personalization and the ability to add your own videos, pictures and sounds for letters. Really great tool for learning the alphabet. Highly recommended or kids who love Elmo and Sesame Street

64 bit only sad. Really why 64bit only, it is very sad.

Updated version has bugs. Do not buy it

Mrs Lee. Have been unable to download.... half way through keeps coming up with error

Brilliant!. One of the best kids apps around. Engaging, fun and educational. Beautifully designed with constant surprises and so many different clips to watch with each letter. Quickly became a favourite after downloading, and remains at the top of our list, no matter how many new apps we buy. My son has autism, and it's very hard to hold his attention. The fun way the alphabet is presented here keeps him interested and coming back for more. He's happy to let me help him draw the letters, which would be a near impossible task with a pencil and paper. Apps like these are vital tools for kids like my son.

It's a hit!!. My 4yr old & 20month old love it!!! Educational & hrs & hrs of fun!!!

Very disappointed!. Audio doesn't seem to work properly all the time and my 4 year old gets very frustrated waiting! Hope they develop a fix soon because it would be a great preschool app otherwise

My 2.5 year old LOVES this.. Strongly recommend this app. My boy loves it and is starting to draw letters on his own. At first he got me to use his finger to trace the letters and now he can do a fe on his own! Great Job S. Street!

Impressed. My husband was so impressed he has suggested buying a second (but less expensive) iPad for the kiddies... We haven't toddler tested it yet because I know I'll never get my iPad back!

Love it!. We bought this for our 22 month daughter and she loves it. Not only is it a great teaching tool, but it is also a lot fun. I want to get it for my iPhone.

Awesome app!. This app has a depth of entertainment that keeps my 2 year old coming back for more.

A for effort, D for delivery. This is a very good concept, but I can't help feeling that developers didn't actually test on real children. My son loves this app, but he gets frustrated very fast -- the videos take a long time to load, and pressing the same video button while the video is loading will try to load it again, so it takes even longer as a result. Elmo talks for too long after the activity has loaded, but the activity itself can't yet be played. Hopefully future versions will fix these issues so kids can fully enjoy this app.

Wonderful. Great app! Elmo is a wonderful teacher.

Useful on many levels. The combination of every child's favorite character, Elmo, combined with the opportunity to trace letters, sound out letters, and watch short videos based on those letters makes this a fantastic educational app. It's amazing what my 3 year old son can do, and the letters he recognizes based on this app.

Thanks for the update. This new version respond how it should, my kids just LOVE it.

Is Elmo Uploading your family Photos?. My child loves this app, but when I attempt to customize it by adding personalized photos, the app wants permission to access all my photos, then when you say yes, it appears to be loading all 800 photos from my iPad and takes forever to finish...Whats going on here? Is Elmo uploading all photos along with GPS data to their servers? This appears to be a security breach that goes against Canadian privacy laws. Aside from this, it's a wonderful app with many great features that keep my child engaged and learning.

Fantastic learning tool. We have 4 children ranging from 1-6 years old and this app is one of their absolute favorites! The videos are great and the games are fun. There is so much content in this app that the fun and learning goes on and on! Thanks for a fantastic app!

Elmo loves abcs for iPad. I purchased this app for granddaughter, (she is 20 months old) and she loves this game. The problem is when you pick from the 3 things at bottom of screen it does not always play the proper video.

Updated versions do not work. Audio does not work properly so letters are not pronounced. Tracing is still not working as it did before. As many reviews have said the updates since 2014 Dec have ruined this great app. Don't download till they fix this.

Good but…... Like sooo many kid's games on here, they need an adult to play it with them. It's as if the people who develop these apps never even test them with children that would be using them. For example, a toddler doesn't understand that the buttons can't be pressed when Elmo is talking. Then when he's done, we have to wait for all the buttons that we pressed to clear / finish. While we do love this app, it can be painful to use sometimes as there is so much waiting involved for Elmo to stop talking….when all a 3 year old wants to do is press buttons.

Great!. My 4 year old and two year old love this! Keeps them busy for hours!

Daycare kids love this app!. I own a home daycare and my kids from 11 months and up love this app. The thing I love for the older kids is that they have to trace the letter to unlock the videos, coloring and fun hidden behind every letter, which is great practice. Not to mention Elmo, who doesn't love Elmo?!

Fun learning tool. We started out with the lite version and our 2 year old loved it so much we had to upgrade. He's been asking to play with it often and is more interested in learning his letters. Mom and dad have been caught singing the disco version of the ABCs when there's no children in sight!

Needs work. My little girl loves this...... When it works..... It does not recognize any touch on anything unless you hold your finger over it for a second or two and have you ever tried to teach a three year old to do that, good luck and most of the videos for the letters don't have any sound. With some bug fixes this could be perfect

If I could suggest one thing.... Love this app with all the videos from Sesame Street linked to the letters, the practice writing, etc. But...it would be even better if when the iPad is on mute mode that the sound for this app would also be muted. Have opened the iPad upon arriving home late at night to Elmo shouting at me that he "LOVES TO WRITE"...funny for me (to be scared by Elmo at 11pm, not so funny for the sleeping infant, spouse, toddler...y

Elmo ABC. How can u rate with a star if the dam APP won't download . And I was charge 4.99 for this APP I want my money back .please

Great. Great app. It would be nice if the alphabet had an option for zed rather than zee.

Once great app ruined in update. At one point this was my sons favourite app. One update later it's nearly impossible to trace most of the lower case letters. Do not purchase this app until they update

Won't download. I'm trying to download app on I-pad for my grandson. Paid for the app. But this won't download onto the IPad . The IPad has been trying to download this. App for over 3 hours now.

Latest update rendered app inoperable. I purchased this app for my autistic son, have had it for years, the last update was intended for 64bit only so when trying to download update it said it was incompatible with my device which is fully updated with current iOS by the way. But App Store wouldn't let me clear the push notification even after I adjusted it in my settings, so I uninstalled it with the intention of re downloading from the cloud, something I have done before. The app straight up said my device was incompatible and so I basically just threw away the money I spent. That and the price I paid for the app through the App Store was more than the currently advertised price. Clicking on app support just takes you to the sesame website where they want to show us about all the good they do in the world ie: ask for donations. I don't know what I'm going to do when my autistic son finds his favorite app gone. Please fix this considering that my iPad 4 is in the list of compatible devices.

awesome worth the money. Great game my son spends hours on this, it's definitely worth the money, it's rated top 1 on "circle of moms"

Frustrated. My 2 years old kid is getting frustrated playing with this app. He used to love this app but since the new update he's not able to draw into the lowercase letters. He also waits for Elmo to say the letter when he chooses a letter around the square so he can repeat it but it goes silent. Did that function disappear or is there a setting to bring that back? I tried removing the app and re-installing it, still has the bugs. Please fix the bugs, I hate seeing him angry and disappointed!

Daughter enjoys game, but full version not working. I paid for the full version, but it doesn’t seem to download. I’ve tried on many different devices at various times (iPhone, iPad mini, iPad Air). Frustrating that it’s been about a month since I paid and still only have three letters for her to play.

Awesome!. My 21 month old daughter adores this app. Great learning for kids of all ages!

Pop up ads,. Why is there pop up ads in the paid version of the app

Great app. Perfect app for my 2 year old. I think the sensitivity is a little too high. Before the upgrade it was too hard but now when in one activity, a random touch on the screen pops you into another activity. Other then that it's excellent and my 2yr old begs to play "elmo"

absolute garbage. Always crashes on the initial screen. I press play and it immediately crashes. I WANT MY MONEY BACK IMMEDIATELY.

Amazing!!. I love that you can customize each letter with your own videos. All our friends and family have made a video for the letter of their name, and those are my sons favourites!

Save your money. The free version worked! The one I paid for doesn't. It crashes all the time! I want my money back :/

Chris J. Yet another wonderful app from Sesame Street!

Elmo Loves ABCs for iPad. I so want to give this app the 5 stars I would have before the last update, early Dec 2013. This is a really great and fun learning app for children. It is used quite frequently in our home and one of our 5 year old's favourites. With the new update, it does not seem to be as picky that the tracing is perfect, but unfortunately the tracing on the lower case letters does not always register, there is a gap that does not fill in on most letters. This makes it frustrating for kids as they cannot move on to the next part. I hope Sesame Street is able to correct this soon! Otherwise a great app, wish they had more a Than just ABCs and 123s!

I loved older version better!. My son and I loved the older version better because when you selected a letter Elmo would say " W, I just love that letter. Now you know what to do. Trace the letter." Now nothing, silence! Elmo doesn't guide my son along to trace the letter and choose an item that starts with that letter. Please fix it back to the way it used to be.

Elmo Loves ABCs. The update has pretty much made this app useless. You can no longer trace most of the letters. If you get lucky and it recognizes the tracing, you only get 1 or 2 videos to chose from. I should not have updated. My grandson no longer can play this on my iPad and he gets frustrated. Plus, I paid extra to have the seasonal opening (Elmo had pumpkin before the update) and now Elmo is no longer in the opening, so I wasted the extra money on that! Very disappointed!

Awesome.....until..... This app is awesome. My 2 year old loves it, however, all the sudden it isn't working. Uninstalled, paid the $4.99 again to reinstall it & it's still not working correctly. Very frustrating for my daughter.....and for me.

Best app for kids.. This was one of the first apps we got for our kids and we have bought countless apps since, but this is still their fav. By far.

Running slow and crashing. The lite version worked well so I purchased full version only to be frustrated as to the sluggish performance and eventual crashing of the app. Removed and re-installed but still have the same issues. May have to go back to lite version for my disappointed 2 1/2 year old :(.

My 11 month old loves it!. Easy to use.... My son is 11 months old and can press buttons easily and watch videos. Love the variety of videos for every letter in the alphabet!

GREAT!. This is my 2-year-old's favorite app. There are so many great Sesame Street clips woven throughout that it's entertaining even if kids can't "play" well yet.

Thee best app. If you only buy one app for your toddler, this is the one! Fantastic. And it has some retro sesame street videos from when I used to watch as a kid. Enjoyable for the whole family. Worth every cent.

Not so great.. For the videos on letter L it keeps saying the letter “A” like “A”, Leaf, “A” Lion For the letter H it turns green when you haven’t even finished tracing it, actually for a lot of the letters it “accepts” the trace unfinished. The orange arrow that gets kids from the videos to drawings to hide and seek gets stuck a lot and is impossible to move sometimes. I often have to try at least ten times to move it or just give up. A very weak app for a paid app. I wish there was more educational value and less “fun”. The only valuable part is the tracing and the three videos that correlate to the sound, the drawing is dumb because screen is too small to actually color AND it doesn’t teach anything, and the hide and seek is defective and doesn’t really help them learn anything.

Love it. My 3yo niece has been playing with this app for over a year. She loves all the different activities and seeing Elmo. There are a few catchy tunes and some funny skits too. Fan under F was hysterical to her 2 year old self. This app is a great way to keep her occupied when she comes to visit.

Is this it?. I definitely do not think that this app was worth the $4.99 that I paid for it. All it is, is Elmo telling you to pic a letter. What happened to the game part? Because there's no game or fun learning to this app my son gets easily bored with it and has actually stared not to use it which means I paid five bucks for something my son doesn't even want to use. Maybe it was expensive because its Elmo. But that should not be the reason. It should make my son want to learn.

Daughter loves it but it doesn't work. I first got the lite version, which worked pretty good. My daughter loved it so much that I decided to go ahead and buy the full version. It doesn't work. None of the videos for the alphabet items work, music videos don't work. Elmo doesn't even show up anymore. I really hope they can and will fix it soon. It is very disappointed for my 1 1/2 year old to beg to see elmo and then it doesn't work.

Perfect for 2 year old. My son started playing this few months ago and he now knows the whole alphabet. He is 2.5 years old. Repetition really is key to learning with this app

It's OK...and huge. Does it really need to be almost a gig in size? Hard to get use out of this when space is a premium on the iPad and there is just not enough of it. Need to delete and redownload load every time I want my son to use it. Deserves 4 stars.

Won't use this app in our school because.... This app would be fine, in fact excellent, IF it wasn't for the fact that it does not enforce correct form when tracing and drawing letters/numbers. It shows the correct form the first time, but allows the child to draw the letter backwards or haphazardly, then congratulates them on doing a good job. Therefore, sad to say, we cannot use this app in our school.

Elmo ABCs. This app is great and very in depth. It will keep your little one entertained and learning for quite awhile. The one and only thing I don't like is that the phonics are incorrect for a few letters on the quiz portion. /l/ should be "uhl", /q/ should be "kwuh", /y/ should be "yuh" and /r/ should be "er", not "whir". Still a 4 star app. - pediatric speech pathologist

My toddler's favorite app. This app is awesome. My 2 year old uses it every day and it's helped him learn his alphabet. The ability to customize the videos is a super cool bonus. I highly recommend it!

My 2 yr. Olds favorite app!. I originally had the lite version, but my 2 yr. Old loves this app so much I purchased the full version. Is there anyway you could add more videos to the music button? That is her favorite button!

Be prepared to use a lot of storage. This app is good for kids and the graphics are excellent however be mindful it will take a lot of storage space. It's taken up 703MB of storage on the iPad. If you have room, it's a great and educational download.

Loved it until they added the ad in bottom right corner!. I am paying for the full app. Why have an attractive looking ad for my toddler to tap every 5 seconds?! I close out. It’s still there, she taps it again! Over and over and over. Please don’t have ads on the activity screen when I’m paying for the app!

Worth every penny!. My preschooler still loves this app six months later. He can practice writing his letters, watch video clips about beginning sounds (example dolphins for the letter D), and each letter has three videos.

Great, but audio goes away on certain videos. This really is a great app. My son used it when he was little, and now my daughter is using it. I do not like how arrow is one of the Aa words. R-controlled vowels are not okay for teaching vowels in a PreK/K app. Also, my daughter loves the veggie dance in letter Vv, however, the audio has gone out in that video, too😕.

Love and hate. This app is fabulous once you get it to download, it takes FOREVER!! Was hoping to use it for a long road trip but in the 30 minutes before we left the house it still hadn't downloaded and we tried several times to find ways to speed it up.

Prevents the screen from timing out. My daughter loves this app, it just has one critical problem. If she doesn't close the app when she is finished playing, the screen will not turn off after my set timeout and it runs my iPad's battery dead! Please fix it.

Great App!. My 14 month loves Elmo! We watch the 3 ABC songs offered every day on this app. He's too young for the letter tracing, but still enjoys watching a picture description especially if is an old clip from Sesame Street. More singing Elmo apps please!

Tracing letters with finger. The tracing the letters with finger function is really hard for my 2 year old because it wants every section filled in. It takes me a couple time of tracing the letter myself to get it to move on. So my 2 year old gets frustrated. Over all a good app and he loves it.

Letter tracing. My kids love this app and it has helped my 18 month old learn a lot of new things. The only problem is that the letter tracing function doesn’t work well, so my kids get frustrated and throw my phone/IPAD. I even tried helping them and it’s not fully functioning. I hope this can get resolved.

Great app. My two year old daughter loves this app. She can do most of it herself, but still needs some help with more difficult letters. There is a lot of content throughout to entertain her.

Your app needs to be fixed. The abc Elmo app is not functioning correctly since the last update. There is no audio during the "find the letter__" game and the attached videos are not working again. My son loves this game, so I hope you fix it before he grows bored with it due to its malfunctions.

Great for plane rides. This app has helped me through numerous cross country trips with my 1.5 year old. He mostly likes the songs at this point, but they keep him engaged for a good 20 mins before we need to go to the next app. Anything to pass the time helps.

Yes and no. I like the game but, it crashes when you switch to the other game mode.(from abc's to find the letter) the other reviewer said the same thing! I spent 5 bucks on this app and I can only play part of it!! Fix it! Now! Fix it! Other than that, fun to play, Elmo and everyone is there! Good mix of old and new! Wonderful! But fix the glitch!

A buggy waste. You'd think a $4.99 app would have the kinks worked out - but sadly this is not the case. Worked beautifully the first two times we used it. Now it freezes constantly and when we tap on a letter the sound is gone. Sound is also missing from the game section. So unfortunate they let crap like this drag their whole brand down.

Not compatible with iPad mind 2. Purchased years ago and had no issues. Just tried to update it and it's not compatible!! My sons favorite app. Where's my refund?

Update. Will not update latest version. It has been saying "waiting" for close to an hour. Please help - this is my nephew's favorite app. He loves Elmo. Now it won't even let me open until it updates.

Wish it would actually work well. My 22 month old loves this app and asked for it all the time. The problem is that it freezes all the time! The videos take forever to load and if she clicks more then twice on something it freezes, making a very unhappy toddler. Also, there are some really lame videos after a,b and c. Coincidentally a,b and c are the only letters you can see in the free version. I would not buy it again.

Demo was better. I just bought the game because my daughter loved the demo and I figured let me buy her the whole version. It's resetting the app every time I try to personalize her page. Please fix this issue the app has so much potential and I can recommend it to so many people. Please and thanks.

Well worth it!. This app offers many great things from short clips, to letter tracing, to finding hidden objects. After having seen this app, I would have imagined that the price would have been higher, but glad it wasn't. :)

Great content. The lite version is a good example of what this app contains. Definitely worth downloading for kids learning alphabet recognition. All patterned in such a way to entertain as well as educate. Totally worth $5.

Love this app!. Many options for children to learn- they can watch a video, trace the letter, color objects that start with that letter. My son won't put the iPad down because of this app!

Until the update it was great. I Went to play this app with my 4 year old son and when he went to play the letter game it didn't work. Elmo didn't say what letter to pick and so it was pointless to try. Please change this app back like it was. I bought this because my son has played it for a long time at my moms and now he is upset when he tried to play it.

Need to be fixed!. With the recent upgrade, it was hard to trace the letters and another thing is that the color red keeps coming up on the draw pad even then you choose another color. The app was better before the upgrade.

No more sound after update. After we updated there is no more sound during the games but we can hear elmo during the intro...can you please fix this? It's hard to guess a letter when you don't know what elmo is asking.

Very fun and educational!. We love this app, great educational features and makes learning letters fun. I wish Elmo didn't prompt so much, it bothers my son when playing with this app. Prompting is ok when doing a tutorial, but telling him to pick another letter isn't necessary.

Great app!. My son loves this and plays it often. He is just starting to write his letters. I think one improvement is needed, though. When you trace the letters, it seems the app is very picky about where the line you draw goes. My son gets frustrated by this sometimes.

Great app, just one problem.. My girls love this app. One problem though. Anyone else notice that Elmo says a long "a" sound when pronouncing the letter "L"? I have contacted app support a couple of times with no success. Would be a 5 star rating otherwise.

Letter sound error. My great-nephew loves playing on this app. However, as a retired teacher, I was dismayed that Elmo and the astronaut both said ahhh for the "a" sound. The letter "o" makes the ahhh sound while "a" makes the short a sound. I just bought the whole app for him, so I hope there are no more errors with letter sounds. Hopefully, you can change this problem with an upgrade.

Amazing!. My grandkids love this app! It is educational, entertaining, and we are singing the songs long after we sign off. As a veteran teacher, I highly recommend this app for beginning letter sounds.

My 15 month old loves this app!. My daughter can't use all the functionality of this app just yet, but she still loves it! I have to help her trace the letters but after that she manages quite well until it's time to change letters. She asks for it all the time!

Help?. Just installed this App. I think my granddaughter will love it, but I have a problem. I've uploaded photos to personalize it, but keep getting the message "photo is missing assets. Can't be used in the program until all assets are complete." I don't know what this means. Can someone advise me? Thanks.

Not worth it. I downloaded the free version first, and thought that buying the full version would be beneficial since I would have all the letters of the alphabet for my daughter to work on. However, the letters A, J and N do not work. I was under the impression that all the letters would be working in the full version.
