Fix your glitches

We downloaded this game for the kids but it keeps glitching and freezing. Please fix the issues. It’s a great game overall but the game freezing has become bothersome. Thank you.

Response from developer

Hi there! Sorry you're having difficulty with the app. Could you please email us at support@storytoys.com explaining the problem? We'll do our best to help you resolve it. Thanks!

My toddler LOVES this, but very glitchy

My toddler absolutely loves this beautifully designed and simple “Montessori” style game. I honestly think it’s more in line with the Montessori philosophy of simplicity than even the Montessori branded games out there.

Unfortunately this particular game is super buggy and there isn’t a way to refresh to screen or save his place. I still love it - I just hope they can fix the bugs.

I even just tried nuking the app only to have it have a bug again within a couple minutes. The only way to get unstuck is to pick a new game or kill the app and restart.

Please, please, please fix this app and keep making amazing educational games!!!

Glitches

Update to developer:
Why don’t you play your own app and update it. This is obvious that your app has had bugs for at least 5 years now per the reviews and you have blatantly refused to even attempt to fix the bugs, but it seems your response to everyone is “email us, we will fix it.” If you have already been emailed about the bugs, why haven’t you fixed them? We have all paid for this app since there is no option to try it for free. This only hurts the kids that can’t continue because a block/piece won’t move and we as parents have to restart them from the beginning.

Son loves the game but consistently glitches where objects won’t move so he can’t continue and he gets frustrated and I have to restart the game for him. There have been no updates for 5 years so it seems the creators don’t care since this seems to be a consistent issue over the last few years according to the reviews. At this point I wish I didn’t have to pay for the app to try it so i would have know of the issues beforehand

Buggy

My 2-year old loves the shapes game, but as many people have already said, the shapes eventually freeze, and he gets frustrated to no fault of his own.

Please don’t tell me to email support as you’ve replied in so many other reviews. Just fix it!

Response from developer

So sorry! Something went wrong, somewhere! And while we strive for perfection, we occasionally mess up. Please email us at support@storytoys.com, our team will need further details to assist you with this.

Problems.

Problems with the app. Pieces of the puzzles will not move very irritating and ruined the game for my child. Not worth wasting your money on.

App doesn’t work on my apple products

Doesn’t work right everything is a purple color. Wish I could share a picture of it. Only gave 3 stars because it does work on my daughter’s Amazon kids tablet and she loves it. I was hoping it would work since I paid for it.

Why does it keep freezing?

My daughter loves this game but it keeps freezing and then we have to start all over. It’s frustrating.

Freezes

We love it if it wouldn’t freeze.

Don’t buy - major bugs and no updates

As others have said - some pieces get “stuck” and don’t respond to touch. Developer hasn’t updated in years so don’t expect it to get fixed.

My toddler loves this game but...

It’s sooooo precise! You need to drop the shape EXACTLY over the whole which is hard for little fingers and they get frustrated. Even as an adult I sometimes miss when trying to show them how to do it.

Response from developer
