Reviews
Functionality issue
Attorney Wife Mommy
Sometimes, the puzzle pieces won't move at all. Other times, they won't move all the way onto their designated spot. Also, this game has not been effective in enabling my 3-year-old twin girls to learn the alphabet.

my 5 year gets totally absorbed in this game, so we even bought the full version!
My 2 yr old is addicted

My son goes to wakes up and goes to sleep asking to play "the match game". This app buys me a good 10 minutes out at dinner. He is also so proud when he solves a puzzle. We will be purchasing the full version. One note sometimes dragging the pieces get slow or difficult to move, not sure what causes it. Great app.
Great App!

My 2 yr old loves this. It is very educational and entertaining for him. The name and sounds are fantastic. This game teaches dexterity, hand eye coordination, and more. I could not believe how quickly he picked up on this. Just had to pick up the full version. Thank you for a wonderful educational app that entertains well!
Shape Builder awesome app for my 4 year old

Shape Builder is the favorite among the many educational apps that I have downloaded for my four year old. This app teaches and enhances hand-eye coordination as well as matching skills. The reward is awesome when all of the pieces are fit in the correct place, you get to see exactly what the item is. As a bonus it plays a sound or verbalizes the item. Keep up the good work.
Good for church

We downloaded the free app first to make certain our 3yo would enjoy it. We turned off the sound and he played the puzzle right through the sermon. The only complaint I have is that sometimes his finger doesn't register and he has to work at getting the piece. Overall, Great app and I will buy the full version.
My 2 yr old LOVES this!!

I wasn't sure if my 2 yr old would be able to play this game, but I decided to go ahead and let hime try. He absolutely loves it. The other day he was playing it... when he woke up from his nap the first words out of his mouth..."I want to play puzzle on your phone!" I might need to go buy an iTouch just so he can play this game and I can have my phone back.
Cute App

My grandaughter loves puzzles so I thought this would be a great "on the go" puzzle for her and it was a huge hit.
Great

My grandson (2 yr old) loves building these puzzles; and enjoys the reward of a completed puzzle "coming to life"! Moving the pieces into place has the added reward of improving his fine motor skills. Also enjoys doing the puzzles together and guessing what they will be when completed, this became a favorite game and we have also purchased the fuller version.
