What Users Love About the App

“We love this app! From the time she was very tiny, my little girl loved watching /hearing the different songs. There’s a lot of music videos, with sesame street characters, and celebrity guests, utilizing different genres that everyone can enjoy.”

“So many different entertaining learning games! Not only do we have a lot of fun playing the games together, but each game allows an opportunity for further instruction between parent and child. I am amazed at the enormity of content, especially for a free app!”

“My four year old has been using this app for over a year and he loves it! By far he uses it more than the other apps on my phone. I love the fact there are no commercials and that every game and video is educational and not wasting his time with silly stuff.”

“I have wanted this app for years! I am so happy to have it now for my son. I used to have a playlist on you tube of Sesame Street songs for my daughter but this is so much easier. I hope they keep adding more songs and videos.”

“I love this app the videos are perfect for my 4 year old and she is learning so much from them! She loves the games that she can play in between videos, it’s so great!”

What Users Dislike About the App

“My only complaint, is the need to be online. When we travel in the car on a long trip she desperately wants to play this but you have to have internet for it to run videos. There should really be a way to download content to use offline.”

“Before the update I could make dinner while my daughter spent time on the app. Since the update she gets too frustrated. The x button is too small. The video thumbnails are too big and she keeps accidentally picking videos she doesn’t want. Videos are constantly pausing while watching.”

“So while I was playing this game (on my mom’s phone still using her phone) I noticed that sometimes the sounds just kick out. I have her phone at max volume and the sound dosent work. Then the sound randomly kicks in then out.”

“The most recent software update which was supposed to fix some kind of issue with the sound has actually removed the sound from all the games. It says to turn off the ringer silent switch on your device in order to hear it, but we use it on an iPad not a phone so it doesn’t have that switch that the iPhone has.”

“It has constant issues, the volume just doesn’t work now 100% of the time and the games crash and freeze or just don’t load. It’s such an amazing app and I would honestly rather pay like 3 or 5$ to get a better version than have this free one has constant issues that my 4 year old can’t play.”
