My daughter loved this app before I uninstalled from my phone . I downloaded the free version and she only used it to watch the Sesame Street TV episodes. She's only 2 so it was a great app to use while we were at a restaurant and she was getting impatient while waiting for our food or while we were out and was shopping. Like I stated before, she really only used it for the TV part of the app, but it uses a ridiculous amount of data when not connected to wifi. I had no idea how much data the app actually requires until I got my cell phone bill and went over my current data plan by 3 Gigs. I haven't used any other apps or downloaded anything new on my phone, so I know it's due to this app. I wish it didn't use so much data because it really is a great and educational app (if you buy the subscription). If you download it, just be mindful of what your current data plan is and how much you're willing to use for this app.

On an iPad, Guided Access gives a parent the ability to disable the physical volume buttons. By having a volume control on every video within this app, children can turn it up to full volume at all times. With an autistic child, there’s just no way to avoid this. I find myself dreading the use of this app because it’s always being played at full volume and my ears are exploding (headphones are not an option for my son). Please, please, please, remove the on-screen volume control. Otherwise, my son loves this app and learns something every time he plays it. There are a few glitches here and there, and I wish there was a way to download certain games/videos so you could use the app without wifi, but overall this is a long-time favorite.

I understand apps have to be updated but this app is my toddlers FAVORITE thing, she even knows how to navigate it. Now pretty much all of the characters have been removed from the home screen, I know they are still in the menu on the side but I would have to go there to get what she wanted each time she wanted something new. Was it really too much to keep all the same characters on the home page? I know she's going to have trouble with the app now and she might even stop using it since big bird and the count are her favorites. Just give me the option to add them back to the home menu, wouldn't that be ok?EDIT: Wow! Thanks so much, I didn't expect at all that you would respond to my request, thank you so much! This app is still my daughters favorite now 😄

This is one of the only apps that holds my daughter’s interest and doesn’t have ads so I was excited. For the first hour, there were zero issues. However, the longer I’ve had the app, it’s been more glitchy. I constantly have to turn guided access off to close and reopen the app or even restart the iPad because videos or games won’t work. They’ll display a black screen with a circle in the center that never fixes itself. Once that shows up, other parts of the app stop working. This happens every 1-2 videos or games so it’s constantly happening and it’s become incredibly annoying. Probably gonna have to delete the app because I can’t keep fumbling with this app every two seconds when it’s meant to hold my daughters attention long enough for me to get something important done.

I like this app, but whenever I try to play a game, it usually lags and then suddenly crashes. I tried to play, like, 4 games, and 3 out of 4 of them crashed. I don't know if it's my iPads fault or if it's this apps fault, but whatever it is, I don't like it. Also, the videos are normally 3 minutes long. I want 20 minute long videos. Full Elmo's World videos. Complete Sesame Street shows. I'm talking big. Anyway, if all of those needs were established, I would rate this app 5 stars. All the other things are awesome, and there is no ads or in app purchases. I hate in app purchases. Oh, one more thing, why do you have to sign in? Can you please explain to me that??? 😤

Great videos and content - everyone, young and old, loves Sesame Street. My 1+ year old likes to watch them, especially when she eats - but the videos are short so you have to keep coming back to the iPad to play a different one every minute for her while you're trying to cook, etc. I think all parents would love an option to press play and have videos play automatically back to back for each category or for the whole library on random, etc. Also would love an option to create a video playlist(s) where you can pick which videos you want for which kid. You get it - should be pretty simple functionality? Thanks!
