Zur Zeit ist das Kugelspiel von Meine1. App Zirkus bei meinem 3 Jährigen der Renner. Mir gefällt außerdem die schöne Grafik, die Vielfalt, und die guten Sounds. Alles in Allem eine wirklich ausgereifte Kinderapp!! ### 5/5 — Klasse App nur zu empfehlen *2013-11-21* Die App ist einfach suuuuuuuper! Unser kleiner mag am liebsten das Kugelspiel! tolle Idee super umgesetzt auch für die ganz kleinen! ### 5/5 — Unglaublich nett! *2013-10-18* Ich hatte für meine 2 und 3 jährigen Kinder bereits "Meine 1. app Fahrzeuge" gekauft und die beiden waren absolute Fans! Umso glücklicher konnte ich sie jetzt mit Zirkus machen. Sie kennen die drei Spielarten bereits und freuen sich unermüdlich an den nettten "Belohnungen", wenn wieder eine Kugel im Loch ist oder ihnen etwas anderes gelungen ist. Eine tolle Ergänzung zu den Fahrzeugen! Danke an die Macher! ### 5/5 — Geheimtipp *2013-09-20* Super App für die Kleinen. Noch lustiger als Band 1. Ein richtiger Geheimtipp für alle die gerne ihre Kinder ein rundum gelungenes Spiel spielen lassen wollen! ### 5/5 — Eine empfehlenswerte KinderApp *2013-09-11* Klasse Spiele, beeindruckende Grafik, supersüße Animationen. Einfach rundum gelungen! ### 5/5 — Another Hit *2013-08-30* Bright, cheerful, fun. I appreciate the developer does not have any links to take a child out of the app. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2013-07-15* Although this app is called "My First App" if you purchase this for your baby, this app will grow along with him/her. It comes with 3 games: puzzle, matching, and pinball. The puzzle can be set to varying difficulties from a simple 4 piece puzzle to a 9 piece puzzle where you have to rotate the pieces to make them fit. In the pinball game, the younger child guide the ball with his or her finger and the older child can guide the ball by tilting the device in the right direction. There is no clutter in this app, meaning your child will be focused with the task at hand. There are no written directions and it does not need it because it is simple to figure out. There are no ads or links of any kind. My children enjoy this app and I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Sweet app for thinking and problem solving skills! *2013-07-15* My First App Vol. 2 Circus is a really sweet app for preschoolers to begin learning basic problem solving, reasoning, sequencing, puzzle and patterning skills. It would be a very nice resource for fine motor skills. I like that the user can modify the difficulty level of the puzzles by selecting the number of pieces, and the way the puzzles are completed (rotation of pieces vs. non-rotation). The 2 levels of difficulty in the Pinball game also help to make this game suitable for older elementary children. This app will be great for beginning iPad skills, fine motor, and thinking and reasoning skills. Recommended. ### 5/5 — great app *2013-07-14* great app for preschoolers no iap and ads section of puzzles with multiple difficulty levels (great feature) my child loves the "roll" the ball in the hole game. ### 5/5 — 6 stars if it was possible *2013-07-14* We own vol. 1 of this app. That is definitely a 5 star app. This one is even better. It uses the same format of 3 clever mini games for your toddler but manage to improve on a lot of things that felt complete already in vol. 1. I would give this app 6 stars if it was possible as it is a step up from an already stellar app. The graphic style and the cute end of game animations are my favorite features. ### 5/5 — Das iPhone wird zum Kinderspielzeug *2013-07-13* Wie schon in Band 1 funktioniert das Spiel einfach, und kommt vollkommen ohne Erklärungstexte aus. Die Animationen sind so supersüss und liebevoll, einfach nur zum knuddeln! Da erwacht ein wahrer Phantasiezirkus zum Leben. Ganz große Klasse!!! ### 5/5 — Fun And Engaging App! *2013-07-13* This app is wonderfully engaging app that is appropriate for young and older children. One of my favorite parts of the app is that you do not have to no ads or in app purchases. In the first section you are presented with puzzles. You are able to choose from 4 puzzle modes, with two transitions or the puzzle pieces. You can have pieces straight or where a child must rotate them to fit into the puzzle correctly. I found this very engaging because once the child finishes the puzzle, it becomes animated. An excellent motivation for the child. In the second section children see pictures divided into half that spin around. Children are then required to find match by sliding pictures the pictures on the second half up and down. I particularly liked this section because this skill is very important and goes over an important concept; half and whole. When the child matches the halves it becomes whole and they are rewarded with fun animations. I love that this works on matching skills in a fun and engaging way. In the third section a child is presented with a variety of different pictures. Once you click on the picture, it opens up and has three "holes" the child must fill in. A metal ball shoots across the screen, as if playing a pinball game. The objective is to move and tilt the iPad in order to roll the ball into the holes in the picture. This was the most challenging game of the three. I love that this works on spatial skills, fine and gross motor skills. Overall, this is a wonderful app and I would recommend it. ### 5/5 — Tolle App für die Kleinen *2013-07-13* Klar strukturiert, sehr ansprechende Grafik, drei verschiedene Spiele fûr mehr Abwechslung, verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade wâhlbar, trotzdem einfache, kinderleichte Bedienung... Rundum gelungen! ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-07-12* This app is fun and easy to use. No ads, IAPs or other settings for your child to get into. There are three activities: Puzzles, Turning Game and Pinball. Puzzles: The complexity of the puzzle can be set from two up to nine pieces. The feature that I really like for fine motor skills was the rotation feature. The puzzle pieces are rotated and you need to use your thumb and finger to turn them around to the correct orientation before placing them in the puzzle. Good for strengthening the space between the thumb and index finger and for developing visual spatial skills. Turning Game: This game requires the child to match two halves of a picture by moving the sides of the picture on the screen up or down. When the picture is complete, there is a cute animation that follows. Pinball: This game can be played two ways, either by dragging the ball to one of three holes in the picture or by holding the iPad flat and tilting it to make the ball roll into a hole. Each time the ball is in the hole there is a cute animation. This game would be helpful for eye hand coordination. This app would be suitable for younger children but could also be used with older children who have more involved fine motor challenges. ### 5/5 — Tolle App für jüngere Kinder mit vielen Einstelloptionen *2013-07-12* Drei Spiele rund im den Zirkus sind in dieser App enthalten: ein Puzzle, ein "Klappbuch" und ein sehr gelungenes "Kugel ins Loch"-Spiel. Dabei überzeugen die tollen Zeichnungen und witzigen Animationen ebenso wie die Einstelloptionen (Musik aus/an, Puzzle mit 2 bis 9 Teilen, mit Drehen oder ohne). Eine rundum gelungene App für jüngere Kinder bzw. Kinder mit Handicap, bei der aufgrund der Vielzahl der Bilder so schnell keine Langeweile aufkommen dürfte. ### 5/5 — so liebevoll und kindgerecht :))) *2013-07-12* Das ist mal eine so richtig liebevoll und geschmackvolle App ohne Haken und Fallen ! Absolut für kleine Kinder zu empfehlen, denn die Bedienung ist einfach und die Animationen sind ruhig und dennoch fröhlich- ansprechend. Ein kleiner netter Zeitvertreib ohne schlechtes Gewissen ;)) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Simple and cute *2013-12-07* Cute little app for toddlers that enjoy puzzles. Options to scatter pieces from a few pieces to 9. Lots of scenes to pick from. ### 4/5 — Cute and Simple *2013-12-11* Tried this app out with my 2 year old (who of course is very advanced! heh heh). He found it fun. I had to help him understand a few of the tasks as they are not all completely intuitive, but after a brief bit of instruction, he took off with it. If you're someone who believes it's OK to give your kid an iPad before age 2, then this app would be good for you. I could see my kiddo getting bored by the time he's 3, but for the price, it's a great deal for a starter app. ### 4/5 — Cute app *2013-12-02, version 1.0.2* This app has some games I had not seen in any other apps. I especially liked the pinball games. That will be a favourite in my classroom. ### 4/5 — If you have a hung kiddo, get this app!!!! *2013-07-12* This app is wonderful for very young children,and older kids too, depending on which section section you are playing. There is a section of puzzles with multiple difficulty levels, which are very engaging because once each puzzle is put together, it becomes animated, In another section, young children are required to match up two different sliding pictures. When they are successful, the picture becomes animated in an amusing way. Plus, there is a game with different pictures, and the goal is to tilt the iPad in order to get the ball to roll into the holes in the picture. this is the most challenging game. It is very fun, and gray for fine motor, This app is engaging, with fun and no bright graphics, and is great for fine motor skills, visual spatial skills, matching, cause and effect, and more. The app has no ads, links, or IAPs. I recommend it for younger kids, ### 5/5 — So macht Zirkus Spaß! *2017-11-15* Unser Kleiner kann den Elefanten nicht oft genug sehen... Alles so schön und liebevoll illustriert! ### 5/5 — Toll für die Kleinen *2017-11-11* Schön illustriert und lustig! Meine Kleine liebt besonders das Pferd und den Elefant! Eine prima App für kleine Kinder! ### 5/5 — Lustig *2015-03-01* Meine Kleinen lieben auch diesen 2. Band! ### 5/5 — Cute *2015-02-23* What a cute an fun game!! My kids love this app, it keeps them engaged a long time and is very nice! ### 5/5 — Macht Band 1 alle Ehre *2015-01-28* die App für kleine Kinder. Uns begeistert besonders das Kugelspiel. Die Kinder lachen über die Überraschungseffekte, wenn eine Aufgabe richtig gelöst wurde. Während Band 1 - Fahrzeuge vielleicht etwas mehr für Jungs ist, spricht Band 2 Mädchen und Jungs an! Die neuen Spiele machen viel Spass ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2014-06-11* The images and animations are colourful and amusing, and the different puzzles are just the right level of challenge. It is great that you can alter the difficulty level on a couple of the puzzles. I really love this app. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful graphics, very cute game *2014-04-12* I recommend it highly! ### 5/5 — More fun! *2014-02-22* Another great app with lots of colourful art. ### 5/5 — Great to use in speech therapy *2014-02-14* This app is a fun way to work on matching halves, vocabulary, part-to-whole & more in speech therapy ~ Angela Moorad, MS, CCC-SLP ### 5/5 — Recommend! *2013-12-11* Circus, Vol. 2 is a well executed spatial orientation and puzzle app for preschoolers or early elementary kids. There are 3 modes of play, with each section's skill building on the other. After completing each puzzler, you get a fun and pleasing video. First there is a prepuzzle roller game where you match two halves of a picture. The second puzzle section is adaptable in number of pieces and piece orientation to complete your picture. Rotating the pieces requires use of your thumb and forefinger, and therefore is a good indicator of motor planning abilities. The third puzzler that I personally just love is the "roll" the ball in the hole game. You can also drag the ball to the hole, but I think tilting the iPad teaches laterality and visual-motor coordination. The graphics and music are engaging and original.
