Elmo Loves ABCs for Negative User Reviews

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..Version: 2.5

Elmos abcMy 3 year old draughty loves this app. She's currently learning her alphabet at preschool and have found this app brilliant in teaching her about the sound of each letter. She enjoys tracing the letters with her fingers and is able to write her name already. Def recommend this and the videos are fun too..Version: 2.4

Needs workMy 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.Version: 1

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!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 2.1

Crashes none of the functions workMy 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..Version: 3.8.2

Updated versions do not workAudio 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..Version: 3.0.1

Save your moneyThe free version worked! The one I paid for doesn't. It crashes all the time! I want my money back :/.Version: 3.3

Unable to downloadTook my money though..Version: 3.8

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..Version: 1.0.4

Mrs LeeHave been unable to download.... half way through keeps coming up with error.Version: 2

HangsKeeps hanging and freezing iPad.... Unusable!.Version: 2.5

Problems with downloading full versionMy daughter loves Elmo ne friends so the app is great for her, but unfortunately I can't download the full version. I receive message - unable to download at this moment - I've been trying for few months already..Version: 3.7.2

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!.Version: 3.0

New update to support retina - breaks air supportNew 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..Version: 3.0

Wish I hadn't updatedThe 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!.Version: 3.0

Needs some improvementIt 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..Version: 3.8.2

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?.Version: 2.2

Tracing not accurateTracing not accurate. Same for 123 app..Version: 3.5.3

Application problemsWe'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..Version: 3.3

Daughter loves it but it doesn't workI 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..Version: 2.1

Daughter enjoys game, but full version not workingI 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..Version: 3.8

Latest update rendered app inoperableI 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..Version: 3.7

Keeps crashingThis is a great game which my little boy loves and would give it 5 stars but every time you go onto the drawing part of the game it crashes which my little boy does not understand and for the price of 2.99 you expect it to work. If this problem is fixed would be a great educational and fun game. An update please..Version: 1

Paid app has advertisements for other apps in itI 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.Version: 3.8.1

Elmo Loves ABCs for iPadI 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!.Version: 3.0

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..Version: 2.3

OkWell, 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!.Version: 1.0.3

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.Version: 1.0.4

Poor qualityLoved the 123 app, but the quality of this app doesn’t seem up to the same standard. It’s slow to load and laggy. When switching between apps, the sound often cuts out, which requires a restart. The menus aren’t intuitive and the buttons are confusing. Also doesn’t appear to have the same level of content as the 123 app, but maybe I just can’t find it..Version: 3.9

App Has Major IssuesI 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..Version: 1.0.3

😡😡😡It won’t download but charged us anyway 😡😡😡.Version: 3.8

Pop up ads,Why is there pop up ads in the paid version of the app.Version: 3.7.9

Was goodBut since the update we no longer have any video..Version: 2.1

Less helpful than earlier versionsThe 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..Version: 2

64 bit only sadReally why 64bit only, it is very sad..Version: 3.7

RIP off£4.99 per game? What a rip off it only has one game per purchase!!.Version: 3.8.2

Don't love anymoreMy 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..Version: 3.0.1

Letter sound errorMy 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..Version: 3.8

Won't downloadI'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..Version: 3.5.4

A for effort, D for deliveryThis 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..Version: 1.0.2

Once great app ruined in updateAt 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.Version: 3.0.1

FrustratedMy 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!.Version: 3.0

Version 2 has errorsOur son loves this app and has made great strides developing his knowledge of letters. Unfortunately having downloaded the update much of the sound has disappeared making it redundant. A real shame and we hope they fix this ASAP..Version: 2

Absolute garbageAlways crashes on the initial screen. I press play and it immediately crashes. I WANT MY MONEY BACK IMMEDIATELY..Version: 3.1

Elmo ABCHow 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.Version: 3.0.1
