Major Bug, this app forgets your purchase and will not allow all the premium calls you bought. Uninstalling and reinstalling and clicking restore purchases will fix temporarily but it will break again. This has apparently been an issue for a long time and no real fix has been put in place so buyer beware.

Purchased the pack for set calls/alarms. When the set time comes the phone says "it's Elmo calling" once and then when we get into the app nothing happens. There is no call about brushing teeth or getting ready for bed as I have set. Also the timers then reset after each one passes, so even it is did work you would have to set it up each day which could be quite frustrating.

My kid loves this app and Elmo. I therefore bought all the extra movies. My annoyance is with the quality of these video's. Who edited these and why can't they do their job properly? In most of the videos Elmo is floating above the scenery or above black bars. He never seems to be in line with the scenery. Makes for ugly viewing. It could also be a technical issue with my particular phone. If so, some extra video settings would not be a bad idea. I just think it is sloppy work for a paid app.
