## Review summary

Reviewers consistently praise the app as engaging and educational for toddlers, with a broad set of activities (tracing, counting, coloring, videos) and kid-friendly navigation. They also appreciate Sesame Street content and updates that resolve problems. However, recurring issues include Elmo not appearing in the app, which feels like false advertising to some, and ongoing technical problems after updates—especially orientation/rotation and screen cutoffs on iOS devices—that can render the app unusable. A few users also question whether the price reflects the inconsistent performance.

### Pros

- Engaging and loved by toddlers; kids learn numbers and stay motivated.
- Wide range of educational activities (tracing numbers, coloring, counting, puzzles) and both new and classic Sesame Street videos.
- Kid-friendly interface that many children can navigate independently.
- Positive updates that fix issues and improve reliability/content.

### Cons

- Elmo character sometimes missing/not visible after intro, causing frustration and perceived false advertising.
- Persistent orientation/rotation problems after updates (landscape/portrait lock, screen cutoffs) making the app unusable on iOS 12.
- General reliability issues: app not loading or crashing after updates.
- Mixed value proposition: some users feel the price isn't worth the issues.
