No sound??

Is this app supposed to have sound? I can see the characters mouths moving but we hear nothing! Volume is all the way up and sound works on every other app on my phone.. there are no settings for the game so I can’t even check there. I am bummed I spent money to get the game for my daughter and it doesn’t even work. ?
3&5 year olds love it but sound stopped working

We discovered this app at our library and I bought it despite some bad reviews of it being too simple for a long car trip. Both of my boys love it but it suddenly stopped having sound! Both the app on our iPad and the app on my phone dont have any sound! Super frustrating since it’s great reinforcer for the 3yo still learning shapes.i can’t figure out how to fix it because i don’t seething in the ‘parents only’ info and the app is t showing up under my phone settings. hopefully an update with a fix comes soon for the 9 hour car ride home!
Very Creative!

There is no additional cost for the games. You have to play a game to open another one. It's very creative and there are many activities. My 4 year old son, who is autistic, could not put it down for hours. This is well worth the money and I would recommend it.
Not impressed

My 2 year old loves Curious George but this was the worst App we have purchased. Save your $2.99. There were two games, the rest of the app is locked. The two games took my 2 year old about 3 minutes to master. The interface is nice, the graphics are cool but I was expecting a lot more for a paid App.
No sound!?!

It's not my phone that has the problem, its this game! Everything else with sound on my phone works, but I downloaded this game, and it has no sound!?!
Fantastic

This is the first ipad app that I have found for our 4 year old that actually holds her interest and that I feel is truly educational. The man in the yellow hat provides just enough guidance to get my little one started, but enough of a challenge that learning can take place. The graphics, music, and short video are all well done, and unlike another review incorrectly stated - there are no in app purchases to mess with. I would highly recommend this app for any parent looking to teach shapes, colors, logic, and fine motor skills.
Short and buggy

The pattern & color matching part of the game is too simple for even a three-year old, but the game controls of some of the mini games are too finicky. That'd be fine if the app wouldn't crash every time one leaves one of the five boxes to get back to the main menu. For us, the app also crashed after completing the fourth box before being able to enter the mini game. I rebooted the iPad and stopped all other apps to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't. Even if there were no bugs, the other Curious George games are a much better investment, since this one is super short and has very limited replay value.
Works great for iPhone not iPod

My 2 year old really likes this game and can play it on my phone just fine. But on the iPod it kicks us out everytime we finish the first level very disappointed because I don't want him playing on my phone all the time. Please fix for iPod touch.....
A little advanced for my two year old, but he loves it anyway!

This is a fabulous app for my two year old son and I to play together. There are several different puzzles, each with a number of tasks to complete that result in the creation of a fun animated toy that you can play a mini game with. Some of the fine motor control skills and pretty much all of the mini games are a little beyond my son right now, but he loves the matching games and he will just sit and watch the intro video over and over at this point lol It's definitely a game he can love now and grow into, which IMO is a great buy! The animation and voice acting are top notch and very reminiscent of the original books, while still being relatable to the newer show. All in all, a very well made app!
Greatest game ever

WELL worth 3 bucks. Took me nearly 15 minutes to complete. That's longer than it takes to eat a $3 sandwich! Learned so much! I've been calling the three sided thing a square this whole time. Who knew it was a triangle! Gosh. Can't wait for the sequel.
