### 1/5 — Cannot have on multiple deviced

*2020-03-25, version 2.0.1*

We purchased this thinking it will be the full version on all our devices but it does not. While my 2.5 yr old likes the app, it was not worth the purchase for only one device.

### 1/5 — Unknown error

*2019-03-11, version 2.0.1*

Unknown error message is displayed with only OK button available. Pressing it does not help, the message keeps reappearing. The app is unusable because of it.

### 1/5 — not worth the money

*2019-01-11, version 2.0.1*

bit disappointed for £5

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2018-10-02, version 2.0.1*

One concept and once done with puzzles on one page that was it. I had clear it out to get the same puzzles again. A waste of money and I’m trying to figure out how to get a refund. I reached out in email but after looking at reviews it doesn’t seem like there is more to this app. Also, it looks like they want you to pay 1.00 more a month. Why would I do that when this game stops after all stacking puzzles are completed.

### 2/5 — Error en pantalla inicial

*2018-07-23, version 2.0.0*

Desde la última actualización no para de salir un error en la pantalla inicial. Pone "unknown error", doy ok y vuelve a salir, todo el rato. Al final consigo darle rápido al play y poder jugar

### 4/5 — Good games for little ones

*2018-07-18, version 2.0.0*

Downloaded this game for my grandson several years ago and as he enjoyed it so much paid the extra to unlock the other levels.

After downloading later versions had the same problems as other reviewers in being asked to pay again and like other users was not happy.

An email to tiny hands solved my problems . Go into the parents zone and at the bottom press the restore previous  versions button.  
When it tells you you have been successful you can go back into the game and the levels are all unlocked. 

Please note you need to be using the same Apple ID as you were using when you originally made the purchase. 
 
Hope this helps other users

### 1/5 — Great game, Poor charging mechanism

*2018-05-29, version 1.7*

I paid to open all levels as my daughter liked this and still plays it  despite being older. However somewhere along the line that paid upgrade was disregarded and it is now trying to charge me for more levels again. Could be just a bug but others complaining in here, so shoddy practice as not yet resolved.

### 1/5 — Kids are disappointed as am I.  Only one concept to this app

*2017-10-18, version 1.7*

I bought several of the other Tiny Hands Apps. Both my grandchildren love them especially the 2yo. This app has only 1
concept... stacking from largest to smallest. That's it!! The kids were bored with it after playing with the app a few times.  I purchased it when asked by one of them and didn't hesitate since all the others we have are very good. I didn't feel it was necessary to look at the app first  I wish I had. I also didn't see that there was a free trial period. The 4yo was playing it and asked me "to unlock it and buy it". I didn't look it over first, I went ahead and purchased it, because we are happy with he others. They play for hours on the other apps so I didn't feel I needed to. BIG mistake! The other Tiny Hands Apps have different concepts for the children.... working with colors, numbers, patterns, matching, shapes, which jar has more, less etc. and more.  This app is very disappointing it only has one concept - stacking. There are many different things to stack, but that's all you do, stack. That's it!  For my grandchildren all they said was it's BORING!! I wasted my money but won't delete it in hopes more concepts will be added.  Besides, even if they play once in a while for one or two times, I'll get something for my money. Delete it, I've definitely wasted my money.  From now on I will check every app and read the reviews no matter how many of their other apps are good.

### 5/5 — From Dallas

*2017-08-02, version 1.7*

Awesome

### 1/5 — Purchase disappeared

*2017-07-22, version 1.7*

We already did the in app purchase for $7 over a year ago and suddenly the purchase disappeared.  It wants us to "buy" it again. This is ridiculous. I want what we purchased to return!
