AWFUL. My pre-schooler LOVED this, but it quit working and said it needed an update. It would not install the update, even though there was ample storage. I was then advised to uninstall and reinstall the app. Going on a month now, and it still won't download. I don't have a janky phone either- not that it should matter, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S21, so it's not even like it's outdated or can't handle the load. My girl has been absolutely heartbroken that Elmo doesn't call her anymore.

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.

Overall good but one annoying bug has persisted for years. The screen does not stay on while the calls are playing back. Most apps that play video will prevent the screen from sleeping but not this app. I have to consistently tap the screen to keep it awake or else playback stops. Feels like it could be an easy fix...
