### 4/5 — Not Full Screen on iPad

*2025-08-31, version 2.2*

The app works fine, but it doesn’t run in full screen on iPad which makes the experience less enjoyable.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t fill phone screen

*2025-08-26, version 2.2*

The trial app was great my kids and I loved it. Decided to finally buy the full version only for the app not to fill the screen even while phone is turned. Was disappointed.

### 2/5 — not working properly

*2024-03-15, version 2.2*

### 3/5 — Glitches.

*2023-06-06, version 2.2*

My son gets to point while playing that there is a shape that won’t fit in a hole or there is no hole to put it in. He is very frustrated, but he likes the game when it works right.

### 2/5 — Not loading

*2022-10-04, version 2.2*

What happen to the app? It doesn’t load since September

### 2/5 — Took my money

*2022-04-12, version 2.2*

I paid for the full version. Exited the game and restarted and still is asking me to buy the full version. I want a refund

### 1/5 — Full version doesn’t work properly

*2021-02-12, version 2.2*

My little boy loves the game, so I paid for the full version. But in order to access what I have paid for I have to open the app via the App Store. Then if my son catches the top left hand corner whilst he’s playing it keeps taking him back to the App Store. Very annoying!

### 1/5 — Malfunction

*2020-12-15, version 2.2*

Shapes not going into socket for certain shapes

### 2/5 — Review

*2020-11-23, version 2.2*

This game is not worth the price paid for.

### 1/5 — Not good!

*2020-09-27, version 2.2*

I paid for the full version and the game just keeps getting stuck! It won’t complete the task! Waste of money and time

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2020-08-07, version 2.2*

Game crashes after the first shapes put in. My girl can no longer play it.  I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, closed and re opened the app.  Nothings working.

### 1/5 — Deceiving

*2026-02-24, version 2.2*

Why have I paid for the full version and was led to download another app which still has the same set of games vs the additional levels advertised.. then if I try any other it’s all individual with payments required. Pleas fix this or refund me. Thank you. The app is great but they have already mastered the three levels which is why I paid for the upgrade.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2022-10-18, version 2.2*

DOESNT EVEN LOAD ANYMORE and I paid for it. I want a refund!!!!

### 1/5 — Technical issues

*2022-10-15, version 2.2*

Is this app currently glitching?
I cannot get it to load once I open the app and I paid for the full version.

### 1/5 — why don't i have the full version i paid for!

*2022-09-19, version 2.2*

i bought the game because my daughter loved the game but it keeps telling me to buy the full version in the app

### 1/5 — Please fix the bugs

*2022-05-29, version 2.2*

There is always a blank black page everytime opening it

### 1/5 — Broke

*2021-11-12, version 2.2*

We bought the full app for it to just stop working.

### 1/5 — It’s broken!

*2021-08-14, version 2.2*

Please fix it ASAP!

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2021-08-07, version 2.2*

I bought the full version but it keeps freezing it doesn’t let me put any shape into its correct hole and it just freezes up on the color? I tried reinstalling it but still doesn’t work. Seems like a fun game but my toddler isn’t into it rn with the glitch .

### 1/5 — Poorly developed

*2021-07-27, version 2.2*

Bought the full version and it constantly comes up buy now for more, when we swipe up it recognises we have bought it and goes back in starting from number one all over again… But then when the app closes, it doesn’t recognise where she is up to and tries to make you purchase again! So frustrating. Doesn’t hold their level and constantly says buy full version now even though we already have?!

### 1/5 — 👎👎👎

*2021-03-13, version 2.2*

Don't buy it nothing is more you get by purchasing

### 5/5 — Good game

*2024-09-05, version 2.2*

Good game

### 5/5 — Amazing Game, but I wish there more levels.

*2023-10-01, version 2.2*

I got it for my 2 year old and he loved it! But then one day he beat all the levels and he was sad that there were no more levels. Now he’s 3 and now he just tries to break his record by pressing that bottom button, but still to this day he’s sad because there are no more levels.

### 5/5 — Money well spent

*2023-09-03, version 2.2*

My 18 month old loves this app. We tried the free version and I was a bit reluctant to download the paid version due to some of the reviews. However, I’m glad I spent the £2.99 as it’s worked extremely well and my toddler loves all of the games and levels. It’s helped with colour and shape matching with other real world toys and objects. There aren’t enough simple apps like this to aid child development - most others are far too busy and noisy with irritating music and sounds. I wish these developers made more drag and drop apps (maybe for jigsaws or to learn music notes) as their choice of music and simplicity is great.

### 5/5 — Smart sHapes

*2021-08-23, version 2.2*

My two year old love it

### 5/5 — Great!

*2021-08-13, version 2.2*

Best game especially fir my 2 year old!!!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2021-04-01, version 2.2*

The game is amazing! My son is almost 2 and found this game captivating immediately! It helps him focus and calm down now/ before he did get frustrated when he couldn’t figure out the sizes verses the colors and shapes. He also had trouble figuring how to get to the next level and sometimes the composition of the top shapes make him drag down the iPhone/iPad menu instead. Now he’s a pro and enjoys showing off! Now he’s started playing upside down because he remembered the sequence! Brilliantly simplified game; I wish there were more with this direct, enjoyable layout. It really taught him problem solving and how to work through his frustration when he couldn’t figure it out. Five stars!!!!!

### 5/5 — Easy to use and learn

*2021-02-25, version 2.2*

My 2 year old loves this. He can do it on his own and is learning

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-02-19, version 2.2*

My two year old loves this app

### 5/5 — One year old loves it

*2021-01-20, version 2.2*

It took my one and a half year old about a month to get into this game and then another month to master it. It’s her favorite!!!!

### 5/5 — Ужасно

*2020-04-04, version 2.2*

Купила платную версию-ребёнок играл на iPad ровно 2 дня.Сегодня игра на планшете требует повторно купить версию(((Не отображается в подписках .А в телефоне как действующая и все работает ((((
