But my favorite one was definitely the second one, and now you can’t actually open it before it kicks you out. Pls fix I want to play! (Nostalgia brought me back to these games after 7 years) ### 4/5 — Busy Shapes *2022-10-06, version 1.9* It was a bit too easy ### 3/5 — why it’s pretty annoying *2020-10-20, version 1.9* When you change the shape it make the worst sound EVER!!! I don’t really even want to keep this app! So maybe don’t get it. ### 3/5 — We LOVE this game, but... *2020-04-24, version 1.9* Every time we get to level 15 it kicks us back to level 8. I am assuming this is a glitch in the game, but we cannot figure out how to fix it. Very frustrating! ### 3/5 — Dificultades técnicas *2020-04-01, version 1.9* Mi hija de dos años llegó 2 veces al nivel 7 y le fue imposible mover las figuras. Busque en la guía y no aparecía nada referente a cómo mover la planta. Intente mandar un correo por medio de la app, para poder decirles mis dudas y NUNCA se envío. Definitivamente demasiadas dificultades para frustrar a una persona que quiere contactarlos. Ojalá puedan darme una solución, dado que ya pagué la app y solo la he podido usar 3 veces en las cuales he tenido que regresar al primer nivel para que mi hija pueda seguir jugando. Ella obvio ya está aburrida de no poder avanzar cuando llega al nivel 7. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2019-12-06, version 1.9* Updating my review to 5 stars now that it works again in IOS13. Quite simply the most entertaining app in the whole App Store for my 3 year old. He loves it! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-12-06, version 1.9* Had issues, developers responded in a reasonable amount of time, solved. ### 5/5 — 開啟後，白底畫面，小圈一直在轉，無法執行。 *2019-12-05, version 1.9* 開啟後，白底畫面，小圈一直在轉，無法執行。 版本1.9更新過後，已經可以使用。 ### 2/5 — Çalışmıyor *2019-12-04, version 1.8* Yeniden yükledim ama çalışmıyor ### 5/5 — Working! *2019-12-03, version 1.8* My child adores this app that had stopped working since iOS 13 but now it’s working again. I have one very happy toddler! ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work now *2019-11-25* Seems to be a bug and it’s no more working and doesn’t even load **Developer response:** Hello and thank you for taking the time to write a review. The app was not functioning on iOS13 but we fixed the issue and your child can now enjoy it fully. Please update it and contact us on support@edokiacademy.com if you encounter any difficulty. ### 2/5 — Great app, but won’t load after iOS update *2019-11-23, version 1.8* This app is wonderful, my kids love it, they are 4 and under. Got a second iPad so they could enjoy at the same time, only one did most recent iOS update and the other didn’t and the one that did won’t load the game. If the app can be fixed to work with the update, that would be perfect. Thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was good software a year ago *2025-02-07, version 1.9* Was good software that came in a bundle of four I paid for. This one, busy shapes 2, crazy gears, and crazy water. I guess they’ve given up supporting some because crazy water and busy shapes2 aren’t even listed on App Store and don’t work in new iOS. Beware buying the don’t support their software for long. ### 1/5 — Not saving *2022-12-23, version 1.9* Broken in new iOS versions need update ### 1/5 — Reset function not working. *2021-06-29, version 1.9* Reset function does it work, just hangs the game. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2021-06-09, version 1.9* I downloaded and paid for this app for it to only work SOMETIMES. When we open the app it plays the intro music then shuts off. My daughter was able to play it long enough to really begin to enjoy it before this started happening it. It works every couple of months now. Super disappointed. ### 1/5 — Broken *2019-11-30, version 1.8* I just bought this app last week and all I get is a white screen. I get a sound when I move my finger around on the screen but cant see anything. How do I get my money back? ### 1/5 — Purchased app and it won’t load *2019-11-30, version 1.8* We got this app and it looks amazing but nothing loads:( hoping someone can help us fix the issue since it was $2.99... ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-11-30, version 1.8* On iOS 13 🥺 ### 1/5 — White screen *2019-11-28, version 1.8* App doesn’t open any more. Just a white screen that never loads. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-11-15, version 1.8* A friend recommended it very highly. But I can’t get it to open. All I see is a white screen. I have tried reinstalling it and also on other devices with the same result. ### 1/5 — Finger weg!!!! *2019-11-14* Nur weißer Bildschirm App nicht nutzbar, Geld zum Fenster raus geworfen!!! **Developer response:** Guten Tag, Vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung. Die App hat kurzfristig mit iOS13 nicht funktioniert, aber wir haben das Problem behoben, sodass Ihr Kind jetzt wieder spielen kann. Bitte laden Sie die aktuelle Version herunter u kontaktieren Sie uns bei Bedarf: support@edokiacademy.com. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-09-10, version 1.9* This game is amazing! Some people say it’s too easy but I think that’s because it’s for younger children. Though this game is still really fun and enjoyable. Love it! ### 5/5 — I LOVE ITT *2025-07-07, version 1.9* I got this cus I liked it when I was younger and I loved this even tho i’m MUCH older then 4- even tho I beat it pretty fast I felt pretty good lol. ### 5/5 — Top *2025-05-18* Mes enfants adorent ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-02-11, version 1.9* My little sister loves this game. It’s educational and gets slightly harder as you go through different levels. A good thinking game for young kids! ### 5/5 — best of its kind *2023-11-26, version 1.9* The most tactile, multi sensory, functional, thoughtfully designed game of its kind. For a little ones, I highly recommend a matte/ paper-like screen cover for your iPad ... it allows their sticky flimsy baby fingers to glide along the screen and push the shapes around more effectively. for more advanced learners, the puzzles scale in difficulty pretty quickly, and should even keep your 3 - 4 year old engaged ### 5/5 — Great but a little glitches *2021-06-17, version 1.9* I love it but it’s a little challenging and a little glitche sorry if l am herting your feelings.🐬 ### 5/5 — Busy Shapes *2021-04-10, version 1.9* My Gkids aged 5 & 7 1/2 love these games...They are challenging and yet fun. (Different from what they are doing in school lessons online. )Soooo when Memaw needs a bit of a break when watching them we take turns with Busy Shapes. ### 5/5 — So much fun *2021-02-28, version 1.9* I like games that never end like Busy Shapes. It is fun because you have to think to move. I like the surprises at the next levels,Wow. ❤️💕❤️💕💕 ### 5/5 — Fan game *2020-06-08, version 1.9* 👍 got this game since I was 2 ,now I am eight I still have it I think it’s a great game good for kids ### 5/5 — Works perfect. *2019-12-18, version 1.9* We have 3 kids and this game has been fantastic for all 3. Very worth it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
