## Review summary

Reviewers praise the app for staying faithful to the original book and being a fun, nostalgic reading experience for kids, with useful cross-device re-downloads and recent iOS updates. However, recurring concerns include intrusive ads in a paid app, accessibility issues for visually impaired users, and ongoing compatibility problems on older devices or after updates. Some users also want a reading mode without animations/audio and fewer UI ads. Overall, it's beloved but needs smoother accessibility and ad-free options.

- Faithful adaptation with authentic animations and Grover's voices
- Fun and engaging for kids; ideal for family reading
- Nostalgic classic Sesame Street title that families can re-download across devices
- Recent updates restore compatibility with newer iOS versions (e.g., iOS 11+)

### Cons

- Ads in a paid app, including overlays/splash ads that disrupt page turns
- Accessibility gaps; not compatible with VoiceOver or accessible to visually impaired users
- Compatibility issues on older devices and after updates; some devices no longer supported
- App can crash or fail to launch after updates
- Requests for optional reading mode without animation/audio and removal of certain UI ad elements
