Pros and cons of Elmo's Monster Maker app for iPhone and iPad

Elmo's Monster Maker app good for

Great app would be nice to have more monsters like a pink one for girls maybe some flower hats and for boys maybe the monster could snowboard with elmo & snow moving in the background kinda how the dance monsters background moves just a Thought : ) & the tabs to let elmo & the monsters play or take a photo let it play out before the child can click on the next tab if its in dance mode thats fine but for elmo taken the photo of the monster my daughter keeps clicking it & its like rewind rewind needs to be more smooth like a flow to the App but over all wonderful thanks.
Typically I dont buy apps, let alone kids ones but I figured it could be funny so I did and it was hilarious! I had a blast playing with it, just wish there was more monsters and more features. Hope my $4 pays off with some updates. Also wish the app wasnt quite so large, but I guess thats what youll pay for quality video.
But I am ready to take the snow off!!! There is no button to do that... Please no more snow!
My 2 1/2 year old loves this app, but Christmas is long gone! PLEASE UPDATE!!!
My 21month old and 3 year old both adore this app, and it has saved many, many trips to restaurants from turning into a disaster while waiting for food. Its very well put together and my 3 year old even found an easter egg within the app (create a monster using the items shown on the loading screen, and new stuff happens). The update is great, as the Christmas one was wearing a bit thin. HIGHLY recommended - there is a lot of thought and care put into this app and $4 seems nothing for the amount of use this app gets. This, Talking Carl, Rabbid Rabbits and Dora keep the girls happy for waaay longer than any colouring book in a restaurant.
5 stars, my children love this app. Its silly and cute and teaches at the same time. Very good app for age 2-5 yrs old. Even I like goofing around with it. LoL.

Some bad moments

An amazing app, (really clever) however it crashes, exiting constantly which is very annoying for my child and me (as my 3 year old threw my phone infrustration). Fix the bugs, 5 stars without question.
It says that it Include all sesame street original videos. I didnt see any videos. Waste of money.
Application freezes on iPhone 3G. With all the respect guys, the game must be tested for backward compatibility. Not everybody jump on iPhone 4. If the fix will not arrive in coming days, I want my money back.
Image de qualité médiocre, programme lent, et bien quon indique que cest compatible iPad, on obtient limage grandeur iPhone! Cependant, mes fils de 1 et 3 ans adorent le concept qui devrait être peaufiné. Une version française serait appréciée. Le prix est trop éléve. Expensive and need to be improved: poor graphic quality, slow program and on iPad, you get an image the size of the iphone (altrough it is specified compatible wih ipad). But my sons (age 1 and 3) still love it. Only available in english
Its glitchy and just ok. Glad I only spent 99 cents on it. Definitely isnt worth full price.
Its cute .. my 2 year old daughter had pretty much explored it in its entirety and grown bored with it in 15 minutes or so (this from a child that is bananas about Elmo). If it were $.99 not a big deal .. 4 bucks?? I expected more, and so did my daughter.
