What's New in Baby Shapes!

2.0.0

November 7, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. HUGE NEWS BELOW! (also warning for existing users) Baby Shapes has been rewritten from the ground up as a native iOS app. The biggest news for you, is that configuration and statistics are now FREE! Previously configuration and statistics required an in-app purchase. So now you can configure the level to your own preferences, or analyze the progress and development of your baby in the statistics screen, all free! Note: At some point in the future this may return to an in-app purchase, so check out now while you can. Apart from the unlocking of paid areas, the biggest changes you'll notice visually is the configuration screen buttons are now native iOS controls, and the charting is now more interactive - pinch, zoom and drag the chart to see it more clearly. WARNING: Unfortunately, statistical data from the previous version of this app can't be migrated. If you're interested in storing any statistical data from the previous version of this app, it might be a good idea to screenshot any charts you may be interested in before updating. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Great for baby development

I’ve been using this app with my infant son, and he loves it - it seems to Yelp with shape recognition and coordination. I wish there were more levels !!

Simple and effective

I like this app - it helps soothe the baby when we are in the car. Simple shapes young ones can focus on.

Updated review. Our first son enjoyed Baby Shapes two years ago. Now we have a nine-month-old who also digs this app. He figured out how to tap the shapes! We look forward to the sequel.

FAQ

What does Baby Shapes! do?

Baby Shapes! is designed to visually stimulate infants using high-contrast colors and shapes. It aims to enhance concentration, curiosity, and brain cell connections by leveraging research on infant visual development. The app allows for customization to suit each baby's evolving needs and visual capabilities.

How does the app help with baby's development?

The app utilizes black and white, and later introduces other contrasting colors, which are easiest for newborns to perceive. This visual stimulation helps pave the way for brain development. By interacting with moving shapes, babies can learn and discover, potentially increasing concentration and natural curiosity.

Is Baby Shapes! free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. These purchases likely provide access to additional features, shapes, or color options to further enhance the stimulation experience as the baby grows.

What are the benefits of high-contrast colors for babies?

Research indicates that newborns' eyes are not yet mature enough to perceive the nuances of many colors. High-contrast colors, especially black and white, are the easiest for them to see. This initial visual focus on strong contrasts is crucial for stimulating their developing eyesight and brain.

Can I track my baby's progress with this app?

Yes, the app includes a statistics screen that provides useful information about your baby's progress and development. This feature allows you to observe how your baby interacts with the shapes and colors, helping you understand their engagement and learning patterns.
