Die Belohnung für das Gebaute ist das Spielen damit, mit toller Grafik und kindgerechter Steuerung. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-12-30, version 1.9.2* My granddaughter has enjoyed this for months now and she's not quite three. She's always finding new things the the completed cars, spaceships and balloons can do. We're buying another bundle today! Good value for the money. ### 5/5 — A Great App *2014-12-20, version 1.9.1* My 4 year old loves this app and all of the other Build and Play apps. The design is sharp and clean and there are a lot of pieces to interact with as she assembles the toys. Once the toys are assembled, the level of interactivity is impressive. She enjoys the activities associated with each toy. ### 5/5 — Fun *2014-11-29, version 1.9.1* My son is nearly three and just the right age for this app. He enjoys it a lot but it is a pity that there are no options to add different parts and colours. ### 5/5 — Very good *2014-10-23, version 1.8* My 2 year old grandson loves this app. He always looks for it right away. It's good for teaching him how to match pieces together and once he builds the toy, he can put it to motion. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-10-21, version 1.8* Stimulates creativity and it's great for toddlers ### 5/5 — The best game for 2+ *2014-09-19, version 1.7* Awesome graphics, not over stimulating (thank goodness)however very clever and really cute. My two year old loves this app - I was wary to download as no one had posted reviews- soooo glad I did though. I will definitely look at the other apps that they have too as this was exactly what I was looking for- educational and fun :) ### 4/5 — Fun for toddlers *2014-09-14, version 1.7* My 2 year old likes this app a lot. He learned how to build all the vehicles within the first couple times playing it. ### 5/5 — Love It! *2014-09-06, version 1.7* I have a six and three year old boys and both of them LOVE this app! Definitely worth the purchase! ### 4/5 — Fun for a toddler *2014-08-31, version 1.7* This has the potential to be a really awesome app. Our 2 yr old loves to build the items and play with them however he gets frustrated when he plays with them. He is frustrated for a few reasons: 1.each vehicle operates in a different way-some you have to just tap the arrow and others you have to hold your finger on the arrow for it to go, 2. He wants them to do more, and 3. He has a hard time building them, maybe the margin of error could be enlarged? All in all he really likes this app and I can see already some improvements in the last update. Keep improving and you'll have an amazing app! ### 5/5 — very good *2014-08-30, version 1.7* the baby like it ### 5/5 — Super App für meinen kleinen! *2014-08-27* Die App ist klasse! Das Zusammenbauen ist super und die Spiele danach freuen ihn sehr! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dcus it is so Rouen but the urtis or cooler sole his oun *2020-12-05* Aooit alege. ### 1/5 — На обновлении 1.9.3 игра не запускается *2015-11-19* Купил 18.11.2015, а после обновления версия 1.9.3 19.11.2015 приложение не запускается iPad 2 ios 6.1.3 исправьте пожалуйста. ### 1/5 — Made my child cry *2014-10-20, version 1.8* A recent update has added 3 items which are just there to blackmail parents into buying the newest app. disgraceful tactics. ### 1/5 — Нет звука *2014-05-22* Нет звука,ребенок расстроен! ### 1/5 — NOT a learning app *2014-01-04, version 1.5* This is nothing but playing with blocks! I hoped to teach colors and shapes but there is no sound, no words acknowledging what the player has just done. NOTHING!!! Don't waste your money. I'd return it if I could!!! ### 1/5 — Предыдущая версия была гораздо лучше и красивее!!! *2013-07-18* Отстой! ### 1/5 — Worked great for a few days! *2013-01-04, version 1.0* Bought this for 21/2 year old grandson and worked great over Christmas, but now it is restricted to two machines only , and no way of responding to designer The support link is refusing to open You guys need to sort this ASAP! ### 2/5 — Not much different than other puzzle apps *2014-12-19* Update 19 Dec 2014: I was updating all my apps and noticed this one, and that the update notes said, "Cross-promotion bug fixes." It's outrageous that I have to use 176MB of my monthly data limit for this reason. Funny, I didn't even remember rating this one six months ago. Now I'm downgrading my rating to 2 stars. I was taken by the rave reviews, but really, this app is not much different from other puzzle apps available here. Sure, once the puzzle is complete the item can be made to move or make a noise, but it's low-level entertainment. Maybe it's great for under-threes, but my nearly four-year-old played with them once, and he's kind of done. Not worth the money for just one afternoon's entertainment, compared to what else is available. I do like that there is no in-app purchase, though. ### 2/5 — Build, yes. Play........not so much. *2013-10-15, version 1.4* The building aspect is easy and accessible. However, it doesn't seem like you get to play with it afterwards- just watch the animation. ### 2/5 — Misleading *2013-09-30, version 1.2* Once the toys are "assembled"--you can't interact with the toy. Just watch it "act". Probably okay for a kid up to 2 years old. Maybe. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome when I was four and still fun! *2017-10-16, version 1.9.3* Lots to do and relax when your playing The game! ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-12-17* My 4 yr old loves it! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-07-09* Engages my three-year-old for long periods of time. Provides just enough challenge without frustration. Love it. ### 5/5 — A Revelation! *2015-10-16* Hours of entertainment and engagement for my two-year-old! Not just mindless gaming but something he has to think about and use problem-solving skills for. You build the machine then get rewarded with a mini game. Absolutely worth the $. ### 5/5 — My kids love it *2015-08-08, version 1.9.2* Beautifully designed 3d objects and environments. It helps kids build objects and adds to learning. Must have. ### 5/5 — Our son likes it. *2015-06-27* And, I like that he gets to practice putting things together without actually breaking things or losing pieces or leaving small pieces to be swallowed by his little brother. I would like the little games that they can play with the toys to be a little bit more interactive though. Some of them have a few buttons that can be played with. Others are much more simple and seem to be a little bit more boring. Overall though, I would give it five stars for now. My boys only played with it for one day so far though. ### 5/5 — Great Kids App *2015-04-30, version 1.9.2* This app is great. Creative, ad free, and entertaining for 3-5 yo. ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение! *2015-02-12* Сыну 2 года - быстро освоил сборку машин и радуется как жук:) всем советую! ### 5/5 — Build & Play 3D *2015-01-25* My little girls are lovin this puzzle to play adventure game. We have had to load in on two devices so that each could assemble and control each toy. Well done interface and program for the 3-5 year old boy or girl. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-01-12, version 1.9.2* Big attraction for two three year olds over Christmas. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
