TIPS
• To enjoy all the sounds of Elmo’s Monster Maker, silent mode should not be activated. Apple hardware does not mute videos when the phone is in silent mode. So, the videos will play with sound, but the game audio will not. You may think the sound has dropped, when in fact the mute button is on.
“My grandkids clamor to use my iPhone whenever we are together... They love creating the different monsters and watching them dance, then saving a picture of their creations in my camera roll. It has sound which varies enough not to be annoying after the millionth time you hear it. Definitely a winner.”
“Best children’s app ever! I purchased this app for my then two year old. He has been playing it for a year and still loves it just as much as he did the very first time he used it. He loves it so much he has even decided to teach his 16 month old brother how to play. The updates are frequent and amazing. And the ability to take a picture of the monster you created is so cute. Best purchase to date!”
“My two year old daughter (24 months) loves this app. In particular, she enjoys using the “camera” to take pictures of her monster creations with the various backdrops available. Then, we look at her pictures in Apple’s iPhone app “Photo”, and giggle, Oooo and Ahhhhh, over her creations. —-and on the practical side; this app often helps calm her down for napping or bedtime!”
