A Puzzle Approach to Learning About North America
This app is fun and engaging.
This app is done as a puzzle map of North America.
This app has several options of how to build the puzzle; by name, by shape or like a regular puzzle. It has options to either tap or drag the pieces into place.
There is an informative part that tells the name and location of each country.
This app is great for both Montessorians and non-Montessorians.
This app should have the tap or drag options that the USA puzzle has.

This is great! But…
Both my 3 year old and I love this app, but I have found two issues with the map:
1) In the 'Puzzle Map (Drag & Place)' the piece for El Salvador is either missing or hidden.
2) It appears that you have not included St. Pierre et Miquelon

Not all countries included
Beautiful app, though not all countries are included. We live in Bermuda and my son was hopeful that we'd see our country included. What a disappointment! Though Bermuda is small, it's no less important to document than anywhere else. From an educational standpoint (I am a Montessori teacher), I consider this an incomplete resource. With many other small countries included, I'm not sure why Bermuda (and some Caribbean countries) were
neglected. Please take the time to provide a thorough resource for children.

Overpriced
"Lession" 1 is just a textbook. Lessons 2 and 3 can only be played once or twice. After that, the child will start memorizing the position of the puzzle part rather than on the map. (This, BTW, could be easily fixed by radomly generating the positions of the puzzle pieces. Or at least randomizing the sequenze in which they have to be tapped.)
Second problem: You can't distinguish the tiny countries and territories from each other. Canada and the USA are one piece rsp two pieces.
