Horrible App
Sugarandblossom
I want my money back. I mainly got it for the US Map. All it teaches is to put the states on the map by shape. It doesn’t even teach my son the names of the states. What’s the point of it if it’s not going to teach him the names??? Extremely disappointed is an understatement. This app is useless. I just wasted my money.
Missing a state
timcothran
It's kind of hard to learn about all the states when they're not all listed. Could you guys think about adding Minnesota to this app?
Not good

This is very basic and not a pretty design. Very expensive for a simple design. Mostly I would have liked the ability to move the state onto the complete US map. This way children would learn where the states are. And there is no help menu or settings menu.
It's ok

This app is just ok. I certainly wouldn't pay more than $2 for it. My oldest is 5 and her favorite thing to do is to put the pieces back by shape. I was disappointed to find out that the pieces are scattered in the exact same place every single time and the states are highlighted in the exact same order. We've had this app for only a few days and my 5 year old is already starting to memorize which order it goes on rather than taking notice of the states shape to know which piece is next. I also was surprised to find out there isn't a free play option where she can take out and put the pieces back as desired. I also would have liked to see other Montessori puzzle maps, such as Africa, Asia, etc. I did like that it is a very traditional in looks. The font is very Montessorian, and the states are colored the same as on a real Montessori puzzle map. Overall it's just ok, but if I had a do-over I wouldn't buy it again.
Excellent Learning Tool

This is a Great App to help individuals quickly learn the names & relative placement of the 50 states, by letting the learner: 1. SEE the unique state shape and full name spelling. 2. HEAR how the state name is pronounced. 3. SEE each state's relative position on the U. S. Map. My 5 year old grandson is able to easily use this APP to study by himself or with my participation.
My 3 yr likes it

She just matches the state shapes, and she gets bored before all 50, but it's a nicely done app.
Full vision disappeared after buy it .

I paid full vision a week ago, now it's only have trail vision on my iPad. Anyone has the same problem? Can't reinstall it.
No Randomization
kevin.baynes
Nice app. One major drawback is that the order to match states is hard-coded. This leads to memorization of position on screen as opposed to shape recognition. Would be great if it had a 'random' toggle somewhere to make matching more challenging. Maybe an optional timer? I want to up the challenge so that I want to come back and keep playing it! Also, I can't find the developer online to provide feedback. Where's the website?
Nice app!

This is a fantastic app but I have to say we only use it in the game mode. I don't think my son would listen to each state. He would be really bored. I agree with another user in that in game mode, it would be good if the states could be shuffled. Also, it would be nice to add another mode of allowing the child to put the puzzle together in his own order. Great app. In spite of the suggestions. I plan on buying the other maps as well.
