"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."
Michael (an elementary school teacher) from www.edumacnation.com

Ratings and Reviews
The kids love it!
The 4 and 5 yr old girls I babysit love this app.
The pieces don't stay under their fingers occasionally. I haven't been able to figure out if the kids let go of it, or if it is a sensitivity issue with the app.
The audio is beautifully clear and the lady's voice is so enthusiastic(!) that the children love the validation at the end of each puzzle.
I've had the app for well over six months now and they're still asking for it :)
Great job devs.
3-Year Old Totally Wrapped!
Fantastic. Appears to fit exactly the level of a just-turned 3-year old. Ours keeps going constantly for an hour each time. Learned new words too.
I've created a monster ...
My daughter (3 and a half) loooooves this, with the result that "I do puzzles pleeeeease" has become a very common refrain in our house. She'll sit playing it for as long as I'll let her - which can be very helpful at times ;-) She rapidly showed marked improvements in identifying the silhouettes, identifying which puzzle bit goes where, and developing the control to use the touch-screen effectively: all good skills. In short, I would recommend this app highly to anyone not too afraid to let their toddler play with their iPhone O_O
... Make sure though that you have (a) a good case, and (b) a good screen protector ;-)
