Cute….. (4 stars)
My son with special needs loves Elmo. He is very visual and likes the videos/FaceTime. Only suggestion would be to categorize into visual and auditory for purchases. Makes little ones feel like big kids when they get calls!!

Great! (5 stars)
Not just a minor bug fix update. The app now works! My son will be so excited tomorrow!

My son loves it. I like that you can set it up so Elmo calls you via push notification. It's a neat app.
