### 4/5 — Great Company

*2014-11-06*

I LOVE the frustration free part of this.  I get tired of my daughter hitting the X or menu button on other apps by accident.  She loves this one and the bubble pop one.  The only suggestion is that I would like to see the pictures be even simpler since this is an early infant app.  Maybe with shapes instead of complicated images.  Maybe even with 2 levels for basic shapes then other images.  That is my only suggestion otherwise I love the apps.  Keep them coming.

### 3/5 — Not updated -- turned into a new game.

*2014-09-22*

I loved the earlier version of this game when all it did was have smaller & smaller blocks opening up. I enjoyed creating patterns & kids who used my iPad really enjoyed it too.

I hadn't used it in a while, so I was surprised & dismayed to open it up & find that the developers have turned this into a pull-off-the-panels-and-see-picture game. 

This has been "updated" into a whole different game; so potential purchasers should ignore earlier reviews.

I guess this one is fine for toddlers, so I didn't want to give it only one star; but I wish the developers had kept this game as it was (good for both toddlers & older people) and marketed the game in its current form as another game.

The game will be coming off my iPad, with my regrets.

### 4/5 — Like colored post-its

*2013-07-09*

This game is cute. It fills the screen with an increasing amount of multicolored squares that flips to a single color and fill the screen. They can tap then one by one or slide their fingers over them for a wave-like effect. There is no sound to this game is more of a zen style play.

### 4/5 — Recommended app

*2013-05-26*

Color Squares is a relaxing cause and effect game for the very young - although it can be quite addicting for adults. The premise of this app is to remove the color squares (they appear as if they are stickies left on the screen), to reveal the color beneath. The colors are rich, and not so visually bright to overwhelm photosensitive kids.  The music is sweet and encouraging, and there is no overlay of voices - especially if a child has high tone or difficulty with multiprocessing. It is also great to use with kids who do not have fine hand control as you can swipe or place your hand on the screen to remove the squares. I think that this is very thoughtful of the developer as all kids, including kids with special needs, can be successful with this app. A great companion to Ellie's other app "Color Dots".

### 3/5 — Please add sounds, not background music!

*2013-04-06*

I could never get my baby as interested in this game as she was in Color Dots because it doesn't produce a sound (i.e. deliver positive reinforcement) when she touches the right square. Now they have added background music, but that's not really an improvement, IMHO. So many of her toys make a constant stream on background music that she seems numb to it. Also, it would be good to have a special sound/visual display (sparkles) when you finish a level!

### 4/5 — Simple and visually appealing

*2012-08-20, version 2.0.0*

A simple, but effective cause and effect app.  I'd love to see the option for a simple sound as each square is tapped.

### 4/5 — Good for fine motor

*2012-01-27, version 1.1.2*

It's a fun little app, not very complicated, but is really good for color recognition and fine motor skills, as the squares get smaller and the colors get closer.

### 5/5 — Love it :p

*2011-12-19, version 1.1.2*

### 4/5 — Cool to see how proximity effects perception of colors!

### 1/5 — What???

*2013-02-23*

Am I just too old? I think you just swipe on the screen and you can erase everything and proceed to next level.

### 1/5 — BORING

*2012-04-12*

I think it's lame 😡🔫

### 1/5 — Stupid

### 1/5 — No

*2011-07-25, version 1.1.2*

### 1/5 — well...

*2011-06-24, version 1.1*

i really like tthos game but im jot a big fan on the update. i dont like the new white backround when the tiles are changing And i liked how on the old version it didnt have a white changing thing.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2015-10-01*

My nine-month-old loves the colored dots app and we have used it on road trips when she has gotten really fussy. This app seems much more dull and I agree that there needs to be interactive sounds with hitting the squares. She is not interested in it at all. I also agree that the shapes should be more basic...why a wrench?? Maybe just use things like animals or basic shapes, etc?

### 2/5 — Recommendations

*2015-08-14*

There needs to be interactive sounds for when you hit the squares. That would serve as stimulation for the young ones and incentive to even hit a square. It's kind of boring and dull for infants. Also like someone else said, the shapes need to be a little less complicated. Not too bad of an app, just mostly boring for my daughter. Without sound, she doesn't really care to hit a square. That's half the fun for them.

### 2/5 — ???

*2011-10-04, version 1.1.2*

How is this a "game"?

### 5/5 — Great kid pleaser

*2015-03-06*

My kiddo is 19m and loves this game. He only lasts  a few minutes but it's getting longer and longer and he loves to see the things he already knows the word for. I feel good letting him play it as it reinforces his recognition skills, language and hand eye coord.

### 5/5 — Well done

*2014-10-24*

I'm not in favor of apps for babies or toddlers, and this is the only app I have in the "under 5" category. I use it for emergencies when I really need a distraction. It's well done and simple. I've the developer's other apps, too, and they all have a similar design theme. 

Recommended.

### 5/5 — Awesome update!

*2014-10-23*

My daughter LOVES this update!  Great pictures and sounds!

### 5/5 — Baby Game

*2014-04-21, version 2.2.2*

My 1 year old Niece really likes this color game

### 5/5 — Color Squares

*2013-05-27*

Color Squares is a very soothing app to play. Beginning with 4 large squares of different colors, the player is to turn them to change them all to the same color. Once all squares have been turned a new page opens with more squares, each new page expands in number of squares to turn. The background music is nice and it is fun to try and make a pattern or design as you turn over the squares. Good for small ones learning their colors and fine motor control, but equally appealing to adults. There are no in app purchases, but access to the developer can be found in the  about button.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2012-02-05*

This app is amazing. I wasn't ever really sure my son could ever use any app independently, at 17 he finally did. He has been playing for a couple of hours now. He is visually impaired and has severe spastic quad cp. Very nice. Only thing hard for him is trying to figure out the colors when they are just a shade different from each other.

### 5/5 — I'm 16 and I love this game!

*2012-01-26, version 1.1.2*

Great game. It's meant for babies nd such but I'm 16 and I love it. It's super addicting.

### 5/5 — Simple and fun

*2012-01-25, version 1.1.2*

Cute game. Easy and pretty

### 5/5 — amazing

*2012-01-21, version 1.1.2*

I don't know why but this game is strangely addicting I love it

### 5/5 — Fantastic.

*2012-01-05, version 1.1.2*

This is a very simple app -- and it's perfect. Absorbing for my kids and a nice meditative time waster for myself.
