Best map puzzle app out there
Jacob Hantla
My 3 year old seems to want to learn US geography. She wants map puzzles. The other ones out there are two complex for her with two may words...this one she can play with for hours. But it is also modifiable enough that an adult could use it to help learn the shapes and locations of the US states
Learn Along with Your Kid

My only problem with this app USED to be that the states weren't randomized, but now they are. This is an intuitive and good-looking app. If you're like this parent, and somehow managed to graduate high school weak in US Geography, this is going to teach you along with your kid. (Heck, this would help adults without kids.) Great work, Rantek. I Hope you decide to do a countries app, too.
I'm a fan of Montessori, but...

Having taught in a Montessori school, I love the approach. I'd like to see more interactivity in these apps though. I think it would be more meaningful if the states had to be dragged to their proper location, rather than having them move automatically. This would also improve fine motor, and eye-hand coordination.
Great App for kids to grow with!

My 2 year old uses this app and loves it! She can identify states by their shape. She basically only uses the puzzle section but can and will continue to use this for some time to come. The only problem I have is that after the OS 7 upgrade, the sound no longer works. Please fix this! Other than that its great.

Love it. My daughter who memorized to learn language is plenty able to locate and place the map shapes, but discovering facts in paragraph format is an added tidbit of knowledge beyond memory work.
Nice

My 2 and half year already 50 states and to his addition for further information I bought this and it's good. NOTE: there is a bug for Washington state. Even if you select Washington, it shows Oregon. Please fix this. Thanks.
Great app with zero distractions!

I wanted to actually buy a map of the United States for my kids room so they learn the real stuff. But then I thought I'd give a shot with the app. (I usually research for hours before downloading apps for my kids!). I am glad I got it. It is a clean and simple app that does not have a 100 hidden games my kids can play (they already have several of those in the other apps!). So when my kids are at it, I know for sure they are doing some value add! (Also, I had some glitch with the billing and they promptly resolved it.) I certainly recommend this and their other map/ geography apps, if you mean for kids to really learn the real stuff, in a fun way.
Great apps for any Montessorian

As a certified Montessori toddler, early childhood, and lower elementary teacher I have to say I absolutely LOVE these apps. The subtle music and sounds, and the calmness of the voices fits right into the Montessori style of teaching. Not only do I use all of the apps for my own son at home, but I also recommend them to parents who ask for "homework", or who want to supplement their children's Montessori education further. I understand that some people find the apps too boring for their children, or feel as if their children aren't "stimulated" enough. Montessori education stimulates children by giving them accurate facts to work with, not by overloading their senses with bright colors and animated pictures, or loud music and sounds. These apps are a great addition to the Montessori curriculum, presenting children with the original tools but in a more modern medium.
