Cookie Monster is a favorite of our family's and this app delivers.
2017-01-05

Toddler Loves It
without this app, I might not be able to change my toddler's diaper.
2016-08-03
Buy the app, then they want more 😡
Ok, so I bought this app then went to check it out and you get 6 "free" calls (which aren't free because you have to purchase the app) then they want more money for the rest of the calls (31 calls!) What a scam! I'm really disappointed. I would delete it, but I already paid for the 6 "free" calls 😡
2016-07-03
One of the best !

Great app
My son is two and still loves this app. He's been using it since he was Six months old.
2016-03-18
Love cookie!
My son loves this app and loves Cookie Monster! A great helper when you're out somewhere, like a restaurant and he starts fussing.
2016-03-16
2-yr old loves face-timing with Cookie Monster & Elmo
Very cool idea/app
2015-11-27
Cookiriffic
This app is awesome for kids if they like Cookie Monster or for other reasons get to talk to Cookie Monster and more. Highly recommended.
2015-09-23
Good
Could use some more calls. Needs an update now and then.
2015-09-19
A favorite!
A great app for the preschool crowd. Cookie never gets old!
2015-08-01
Love this!
Both of my toddler boys love this app! They laugh and giggle when they hear Cookie Monster and they get super excited when the phone rings. They are not even two yet and can already navigate through the app on their own!
2015-07-05
Really the best
My toddler loves this so much it has helped us during really sad moments, like yesterday when he was stung by a bee. He was crying so hard he was gargling his own spit but when he heard Cookie Monster he stopped crying and started making the "num num" sound. The program is lovely and well designed and fun even for me to watch (the first dozen times anyway) and I am so grateful for this little tool that makes my kid so happy.
2015-05-09
Cookierific!
My girls love this app! Works great!
2015-01-14
Cookie Calls
My 2 granddaughters, ages 4 and 2, both LOVE this app.
2015-01-04
Not quite what I expected.
Okay I wasn't expecting a ton, but really this is just a bunch of Cookie Monster video clips set up with a ring tone. I was kind of expecting the dialogue to be directed to the child more. Heck, Dora talks to my kid and asks for a response you would think this app would. My kiddo was interested for two second and he is only two.
2014-12-22
Great app
My twin 2 year old nieces love this and Elmo's calls! Hope they do more characters from sesame Street
2014-12-21
Child loves
Elmo calls and cookie calls are the best. Thanks.
2014-12-02
My kid loves it but....
My son loves the cookies calls but I paid $1.99 for the app and then $2.99 for the all calls package and my package has not downloaded. I've restarted my app, my phone, my network settings and I uninstalled the app and downloaded it again and it's still not downloaded the pack.
2014-11-29
My baby loves it!
Great app for little kids to keep them busy!
2014-09-13
Me what more
Awsome
2014-08-31
Adorably funny
I just love this I'm an adult and find this so stinkin cute I bought all call packs just for a funny laugh :) oh my kids like it to :)
2014-08-30
Updates make app crash
My son loved this app until the most recent update. Now it routinely crashes, which is unfortunate. Wish I hadn't paid for this. We are having the same experience with Elmo calls.
2014-08-29
So much fun!
Cookie rocks this App!
2014-08-29
Cookie rocks!
Great way to experience this classic character from my childhood and share him with a new generation. :)
2014-08-28
Awesome!
Great new design! This app is awesome.
2014-08-26
My ten year old loved it
My ten year old loved this app he thought it was interesting and a lot more
2014-06-16
Easy to use and my little one loves the FaceTime interaction
Great app
2014-06-01
Cute App needs more videos
After getting the full version of the Elmo app I got this one and was disappointed. While this app has some very helpful videos - the Brushing Teeth video alone is worth it, my two year old now want to 'call Cookie' to brush; there are only just a few other videos to choose from on the app unlike the Elmo version and not much variety. It would really be nice to see more videos or an update for more situations.
2014-04-24
Great for my 1 yr old
My kiddo has some serious feeding aversions. Cookie Calls makes eating fun.
2014-04-07
Agh jug
This app is awesome you talk to Cookie Monster he teaches your kids
2014-03-25
Delicious
Me love Cookie Calls! Me eat Cookie Calls! Om nom nom nom.

2014-02-02
It's very cool
I like it it's fun
2014-01-13
Baby and mommy enjoy This A Lot
Very creative and fun!
2014-01-10
Good but it's not a buck
One buck gets you the app and 3 videos then $3.99 for unlocking all of them . Just call it $5 dude! Besides that just as good as Elmo
2013-11-16
My 3 year old Kid loves it!
Really like this app and it still works on my old iPod Touch with IOS 5. something which is now my son's iPod.
2013-11-10
Cutest and Best app ever for babies and families
My sister and I❤️it and she gets so excited to see Cookie Monster. Cookie Monster helps her learn good habits and learn new things. So whoever made this app thank you because it's truly the best.💋💓👣👶👍👏
2013-07-09
Doesn't answer calls!!!
Bought this and the similar Elmo app. Can't make calls on either one after recent iPhone updates. When I press "answer" the call instantly ends and I'm returned to the main menu. Please fix it!!!!!
2013-07-04
App no longer works
App no longer works. The call rings and I answer it but than it closes the app even after doing an update
2013-05-09
We both love it!!!
My 18 month old loves it even more than Elmo talks. And I have to say the three that come with the initial purchase make mommy giggle as well. Especially the math lesson. Because of this ap she loves Cookie Monster more than Elmo now.
2013-04-17
Cookie Monster calls is awesome!
So is elmo calls! Entertainment for hours! :)
2013-04-01
Love it!
Put the phone on guided access mode, and it is an awesome toy!
2013-03-14
99c only gives you a trial version
I was hoping for a lot more content than what I originally got. I even bought one pack for another 99c just to make sure it was worth buying this app. Now looking back I would have gladly paid $2.99 for the whole app, and am kicking myself for wasting almost $2 for a quarter of the total app which I now only have.
This message was brought to you by the letter 'R' for rip-off, and the number '2' for how much $ I wasted on it.
2013-03-12
Costs more then .99
.99 just for the basic app which includes 3 videos. And another 2.99 for all calls. They should make it free just for the app.
2013-03-10
Cookie Calls
A must have for any iOS using toddler.
My son is 1.5 years old and loves using FaceTime. This app imitates Cookie Monster calling over FaceTime. The smile that comes over his face when he sees Cookie Monster calling him is priceless!
2013-03-09
Cookie calls
Very entertaining for the little one's
2013-01-31
My 2 year old loves it
Only down fall is that it only has 3 calls. They should have a package that includes all the characters
2013-01-28
Very good
My one year old love talking to cookie monster
2013-01-17
Love it!
We love it! Not sure why people are saying only three greetings though! ...In top left corner, put your finger on the family icon, and swipe finger to the right -- There are four tabs at bottom of screen, which includes setting Cookie calls/reminders for nap time, bedtime, brushing teeth, etc. (Those features do not cost extra, but there are additional features/calls that are available to purchase.)
2013-01-07
Great! My daughter and I love it!!
Well worth it to make my daughter laugh.
2012-12-19
My 3 year old loves it!
She was 2 when we first played with Elmo Calls, now she loooooves playing with Cookie on the phone! Great for car trips
2012-12-18
Ok
My students love it, but there isn't much to it.
2012-12-13
Great app!
My 1 yr old son loves this app. He face times with me ( his mom) at work all the time and really thinks he's talking to Cookie Monster! Love it!!!
2012-12-09
Lots of fun
The audio works just fine on my iPhone 5. Unless you have your phone on silent, then, yeah, it's silent (who would have thought).
I like getting calls from cookie. His ring tone is hilarious. Can I make that just my everyday ringtone?
2012-12-08
So funny!!
We had the Elmo Calls app and my kid loved it so we got Cookie Calls too. Definitely worth it - he's hilarious!!
2012-12-08
I LoVE Cookie!!
What a cute app! My 3 year old niece loves it, and I've always really liked Cookie Monster too - what a funny guy! :D
