"ShapeBuilder earns an edu.Mac.nation daddy score of "A" - Immediately my son was able to locate & move the pieces into position. The audio quality is fantastic, the application is stable, & the variety of puzzle types kept my son engaged & entertained. Together we worked on completing the puzzles & saying out loud what the images were."

Pros and cons of ShapeBuilder Preschool Puzzles app for iPhone and iPad
ShapeBuilder Preschool Puzzles app good for
Great job on this application!!! Looking forward to your next creation!!
this app is a great mind builder for young kids. My 5 year old loves playing the game and keeps him entertained.
Excellent variety and intuitive controls for a child. The 2 and 3 year old keep coming back to this one. The "stickiness" of the puzzle pieces was a great design choicer.
My three and a half year old will play this forever. I have to take it away from him if I want him to start.
Youve turned my 3 year old into an addict! One more! Just one more! Pleeeeease! Awesome narration and sound effects.
My son (2 years 10 months) loves this puzzle game. His little fingers can move the pieces with ease and hes now an iTouch pro. The only odd thing is sometimes the pieces float a little off from where your finger is. Great job overall, and the #1 pick for toddlers!
Some bad moments
Boring , not enough options, try the lite -version and save your money.
I bought this for my autistic 3 yr old and went to try it out. When it first opened it offered all shapes or specific category, I chose all and after seeing words/shapes like mandolin ....I decided he would do better starting with a food category only. Well, it wont go back to the home screen! It is stuck in this mode. Please fix this and think about adding the option of deleting odd shapes or cards.
Please make the apps full view version for ipad user. My kids love this apps but unfortunately this apps have to view with double 2X option.
Please make setting option to easy for us change the option.
Please make a menu so each topic is separate. Example group the letters together, the numbers and the animals. That way they can learn all letters or numbers at a time.
I bought this app a while ago, and like it very much for my nearly 3 year old, but I just noticed today that the app displays upside down. I think this "upside down" effect is due to an update.
Developers, please fix this "bug"! Also, there is no way to get to the home page once the puzzle has started. Please fix!
Thanks!
This educational app is not organized properly and its redundant! It should have more numbers letters and etc. it seems like its only 20 items there my 2 year old gets bored after a while.
