This app was created for my infant son. Tap the screen and watch the fireworks explode! To make this app baby proof extra buttons and menus have been removed, and no ads to tap on makes this perfect for toddlers! Tap and drag to set off a string of fireworks! Handles multi-touch so you can set off fireworks by tapping all your fingers at once! These fireworks are easy enough for babies to use and fun for adults too. Enjoy these amazing fireworks! If you like this fireworks app (and are feeling generous) please rate the app.

Lucas Shapes and Sound (SS) displays shapes on the screen. Tap the shape to play a sound. Drag the shape to move in 3D. Double tap the shape for fireworks with sound. Made for my grandson's 2nd birthday. Parent controls require a 3 sec long press to keep kids from accessing the settings. Parents can mute the sound, toggle shape, letters, numbers and word display, add word list and add child and parents names for a special message on the screen. Also set the voice for saying the words.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: LucasSS at every 6 weeks against Fireworks Tap's every 12 months. LucasSS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). Fireworks Tap's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 1) and chart position (#149 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
