I paid for this app but it won’t even open. It immediately crashes. I requested a refund through Apple but heard nothing back.
This is one of our favorite apps. It is an easy puzzle app, with pieces which snap into place, and visual and auditory reinforcement. I’m so happy to see the update for ios 11!
I’v had this shape builder app for about 3 years now. My daughter loved it and learned how to do it quickly. Now my 2 yr old son absolutely loves this app. I showed him how to do it when he was 15 months. I think it teaches him a lot of eye/hand coordination and word association. He was so upset about it not updating to IOS 11. He always grabs my phone and says “shapes mama”. I had to tell him that it needs to be updated. I emailed the developer and now it’s updated for IOS 11!! He will be so excited to be able to play shapes again.😁 Thank you so much for updating his favorite app. 👏🏼👏🏼 👍🏼
You need an update! My son loves this game!!!
Please update this app. My kids love it and can’t playing it now. From, A Mom that needs your help.
We love this app!! Please update for iOS 11!
My 3 year old loves this and plays it on another device where the audio works. When downloading this on our device there is no sound. Would like to see the app updated and the audio fixed.
My 3 and a half year old nephew LOVES this app. I just got a message that it needs to be updated by the developer. I hope that you update it so he can continue to play it.
My 4-year-old loves it but what happened to the sound!?!?? I would have given 5 stars if the sound worked. :/
