Elmo Loves ABCs Lite Reviews

by InternationalFamily

Not useful. Mostly a free way to sell an upgrade so you can learn letters D~Z, which cost extra.

ElmoLovesABCsLite won’t even open anymore. And there are no reviews in the last year?! Deleting. ElmoLovesABCsLite was lame and the lack of support makes it obvious that the company just wants you to buy the paid version of ElmoLovesABCsLite.

The voice of Elmo is distracting and hard to hear. Some kids will only want to play the games.

When I was seven years old I really wanted to download ElmoLovesABCsLite,
even though I already new the alphabet so much. But I love Sesame Street! But it literally only lets you try the first three letters! And if you want to try all twenty six letters you will have to pay $4.99 dollars, it makes no sense. What about the younger toddlers that need to learn the alphabet? I begged my dad to pay
almost 5 dollars for this? I thought ElmoLovesABCsLite would be better than it is right now. What a shame to make my father pay almost 5 dollars just for me to play three letters. And it’s the same thing with the Elmo loves numbers lite, you can only play the numbers 1 2 and 3 until you pay a certain amount of money. Whosever created ElmoLovesABCsLite should of thought better.

You can’t turn the game off or clear your screen on a newer iPhone without powering the whole phone down. Plus Elmo keeps talking and talking when you’re trying to turn it off. So it’s pretty frustrating when your child is done playing with the game. Otherwise the children do have fun with the game while they are engaged.

It is very difficult to trace the letters. ElmoLovesABCsLite lags constantly. They also don’t utilize the full screen so there’s a lot of waisted space which results in all of the buttons being very small. If they could fix the lagging and make tracing simpler (for toddlers) it would be a whole lot better!

The videos and songs are great but function is missing the mark.

This “lite” version is only a trial that only allows you to access the first three letters! If you want the whole thing then you’ll have to purchase the full version for $5. Otherwise the games are very fun and educating.

You get letters A-C, all the other letters you have to pay for

As a developer, ElmoLovesABCsLite is terrible. My boy loves elmo and all the good apps we use all disable buttons as soon as he touches something and wait to move on before re-enabling them.
ElmoLovesABCsLite lets you touch everything so he is constantly, inadvertently playing things he doesnt want to do. When you touch one thing, it shoud disable all the buttons till the video or song or excersize finishes. Or at least time it to 10-30 seconds per push.
As it right now I would not buy the full version.
If it was fixed to disable buttons like it should and all the other Elmo apps do, then I would recommend it.

Good idea. Poor coding.

You can’t close ElmoLovesABCsLite without a home button!

This gave us the perfect opportunity to evaluate the benefits vs annoyances some apps never allow for. We definitely just invested the $5 in the full app. Three letters can become old after awhile. My almost 18-month-old loves the videos. He still needs help drawing and locating the letters, but it's so fun watching his face as he completes a letter!

You have to buy the full version in order to have all the letters available (as most of the games for iPad). Good overall.

by Momtastic

ElmoLovesABCsLite is insanely fun and has LOADS of content (videos, coloring, games, letter tracing, etc.) - even with only the A-B-C letters available in the lite version! My 2 year old loves it, my 5 year old loves it... absolutely worth downloading and purchasing the full app!

My sister has been begging 🥺 for this game. I am excited for this. It may or may not work out and do what the ad says. Lots of games are like that. Hopefully it turns out good. 🙏🏼! Well, I don’t have much to say anyway. I’ll let you guys know later, how it turns out.

My 2 year old loves this and can mostly use it by himself! The hardest part is that he has to trace the lower and uppercase letter if he wants to unlock videos related to the letter! But he recognizes most of his letters and when people asked where he learned them he says Elmo!

Both my 2 and 3 1/2 year old seem to love this lite version app despite the fact that it doesn't go past the letter C. Pretty entertaining nonetheless. It has several versions of the alphabet song with videos. Also has a letters game. Of all the apps that promise to keep your child entertained for hours, this one actually did it for my kids.

I babysit a 3 year old who (because I read on my iPad) thinks its cool to look at my iPad and poke at it. I started with basic coloring programs or talking programs but she is too little/impatient to deal with most of them. So I started on a hunt to find a toddler friendly app (a free one was preferable). This was perfect. It only plays A B and C, but it's the free version. The full version (which I plan on purchasing as soon as my paycheck comes through) has all the letters. There is so much to do in this game. When I downloaded it I thought it was just going to be a few flash cars with a picture of Elmo on them or something simple. However, I was shocked at how much content there is in this one app! So many videos, pictures, coloring pages, activities and fun (I played it for almost an hour by myself it was actually so cool!). The girl I babysit LOVES it, even this free version. There is so much content that even her attention span was used up with only the 3 letters, and we have repeated them with no sign of her being tired of them. Plus the variation of material gives her a lot to take in while being the usual educational style for sesame street. This version is great to see if your toddler likes the game or if their skill level is appropriate, but also has enough content to see if you like the learning style enough to buy the full version. I love it and plan on getting the full version. This free app is a blessing and I was so glad I found it in my search.

Amazing, reminds me of ElmoCon

It has a lot of little interactive things that my daughter loves. It helps with writing, and the songs are great!

Right now I just downloaded the free version because our daughter is 18 months old and I wanted me and my wife to see if it would work for her now. It looks fantastic. Elmo is surrounded by letters. He asks you to draw the Lower and upper case. When you do videos and more are unlocked. Like a bear video for B. I would think great for whenever your child starts to learn ABCs. Great job Sesame Street. Will buy the full version for sure when our daughter is ready. Hopefully retina update by then.
