Used to love this : (
We used to love this app, but now they have started to advertise very inappropriate things while my daughter is playing it. This is a game for preschoolers, it should not have movie trailers for R rated movies popping up. She came running up to me scared to death. We have to remove it. : (
Disappointed
This would be a great app if you could eliminate the ads. It is a great concept and my daughter loves the train but the ads make this app useless. Paying for this does not eliminate the ads.
No sound
Just updated to iOS 7 and this app doesn't have sound. My students are very upset!! They work hard so they can earn time on my personal iPad for educational apps like this one. It reads out EVERYTHING! Being a special education teacher I have a few students who don't read very well (or at all) but they are able to play this game due to the voice read aloud. Great app!

Cute!
The game part is cute and motivating. It also makes the child think
Fun
Easy to use for sorting. It won't hold their attention for too many sessions though. Maybe the full version for that.
Glitches glitches everywhere
My child plays this one afternoon and the audio kept repeating itself over and over. I look over to see that my child hadn't touched anything and had this look of confusion. Then when it stop and came to actually choosing the shapes to go in order, the audio identified each and every shape incorrectly ie. the star was a heart the triangle was a half circle and the circle a square. Overall decided to delete the app all together. Would want to run the risk of confusing my child. It's a shame, I liked the idea of this app teaching shapes, pattern, and arranging from smallest to largest and vice versa.

Annoying
Bad, bad, bad
Exits app unexpectedly, must purchase all other forms of patterns and kinds of things to sort, left with the bare minimum, voice is redundant, transitions are repetitive and distracting, glitches galore, too simple, bad...just bad

Classroom Use
I bought the full version of this app so that my students could review shape names, letter names, letter sounds, and patterns. It is very repetitive, but I believe it works well in the classroom because each student is only using it for a short period of time.
I am disappointed that the vowel sounds are not even close to the sounds we teach in American English, so I am not able to use that feature. For example, the /a/ sounds like the short /u/. Other than that, it will be a useful tool for review.

A little too tricky for a 2.5 y/o
My 4 y/o will really like this app. My almost 3 y/o finds manipulating the sorting section too hard. Good app for true preschoolers.
Great app!
Awesome app and very engaging to help kids learn shapes and patterns. I would recommend this to anyone in this target age range. A++!
