✓ Great Game and Prompt Customer ServiceMy 2 1/2 yr old son absolutely loved the free version of this game - by far his favorite on the ipod - so purchasing the complete version was a no-brainer. I had some trouble downloading the complete version and emailed Darren Murtha after iTunes Support was unable to figure out the problem. And, contrary to what another reviewer wrote, the customer service for Shape Builder was excellent and prompt. In fact, Mr. Murtha responded to my initial email via telephone AND email just a couple hours later. And, he was able to help me fix the problem I was having immediately. My son and I are definitely satisfied customers!.Version: 0
✓ Update!You need an update! My son loves this game!!!.Version: 1.5
✓ My 2yo absolutely loves this gameThank you for continuing to add new puzzles..Version: 1.5
✓ Thoroughly engaging!Little Miss Two has been a puzzle fiend since forever, and she loves this iPad app because its always different. I hear her exclaim with excitement at the lovely surprises when it's a picture she wasn't expecting, hear her say things like 'sheep' when she recognises the outline and she plays this game for way longer than a two year old is supposed to have an attention span of! Recommended for sure! Not only for littlies either, must say I love playing it too :p.Version: 1.4
✓ Absolutely superb!!My Touch has become my 4 year olds 'toy of choice' after buying this app. She is now confident enough to switch it on, navigate through the screens to this game, and will sit for half an hour delighted with herself. Perfect fun game for that age. Brilliantly simple..Version: 0
✓ Great in EnglishSpanish version 3.99 and English .99? Should be a free update for Spanish or same price..Version: 0
✓ Oustanding AppThis app is a great mind builder for young kids. My 5 year old loves playing the game and keeps him entertained..Version: 0
✓ Happy to see update for ios 11This is one of our favorite apps. It is an easy puzzle app, with pieces which snap into place, and visual and auditory reinforcement. I’m so happy to see the update for ios 11!.Version: 2.0
✓ Fantastic AppThis is a must have app of you have a toddler, my boys are 2 & 4 and they love it, very easy to use and they like seeing the picture once they have completed the puzzle. I recommend this app!.Version: 1.4
✓ Fabulous -- a whole-hearted recommendationMy daughter started playing Shape Builder when she was 23mo old. She's now 27 months old and the game is still going strong. Fantastic for developing a young child's mind..Version: 0
✓ We love it!My 2 loves this game it is her favorite. Educational as well as fun.Version: 1.3
✓ Great app - definitely recommendedThis app is amazing! I first downloaded the Lite version for my son, who was 23 months old. I didn't think he could actually play it, but that it might entertain him to watch me. I was wrong. After 5 minutes, he had figured out the concept so now I've bought the full version. It's the longest he sits still for anything! I wish there was a way to skip certain puzzles though. A few seem to come up more often than others..Version: 0
✓ XcellentMy 3 yr old son plays this all the time. Waiting for more puzzles..Version: 0
✓ Puzzle Builder totally worth the price - forget the lite version!This App rocks! My 3 year old will play it for hours if I let him. It comes in handy on those nights we go out and there is a 45 minute wait at the resturant. He just sits in the corner rocking out those puzzles. I love the fact it says what the item is becuase he always repeats it which helps him develop a larger vocabulary..Version: 0
✓ Love itThis is a great puzzle for my son with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He loves puzzles but does not have the fine motor skills to manipulate pieces and this is perfect for him. The pieces snap into place easily. He can be independent in this puzzle and it's one of his favorites. I should say that he is 21 years old but this is his skill and interest level. The only thing that we would like is more puzzles like this..Version: 1.5
✓ 3-Year Old Totally Wrapped!Fantastic. Appears to fit exactly the level of a just-turned 3-year old. Ours keeps going constantly for an hour each time. Learned new words too..Version: 1.5
✓ Best app i've purchased.This app has to be the best one I've purchased for my son. He's almost three and loved to play with my iPhone, but he'd get bored with the other games I've purchased and frustrated. I showed him this game the other day and he's always asking me for my phone. I only had to show him how to do it once and he got the hang of it. He LOVES it. Thank you thank you thank you. =).Version: 0
✓ Great appMy 4 year old daugther plays non stop when I let her play. Want to see more apps like this. Multiple languages would also be nice..Version: 0
✓ Flashcards with a differenceMy two-year-old loves this app and has learnt a lot of words from it. It's more engaging than typical flashcards apps, and more accessible than most jigsaw apps. A premium version with a few hundred extra words would be nice too. My only dislike is that if you pick a piece up by its edge, it jumps to centre on your finger..Version: 0
✓ Please update so we can keep using!We love this app!! Please update for iOS 11!.Version: 1.5
✓ Please update.Please update this app. My kids love it and can’t playing it now. From, A Mom that needs your help..Version: 1.5
✓ Shape builder reviewMy son is 25 months old and just loves this game. Now if I could only get my itouch back !!!.Version: 0
✓ My 2.5 yr old love itNever thought my daughter can do it on her own! She love this game.Version: 1.3
✓ Must have app for toddlers!We purchased the Proloquo2go for my little guy, age 3, that can't speak and he was having problems with learning how to push the small buttons on the screen. This was the perfect app to get him used to using the screen and moving things around on it. Great learning tool for him and kept his interest for hours! I highly recommend this if your little one is having trouble running the itouch....Version: 0
✓ Mama 2 preschoolerWith some basic instruction, my 3 yo DD is able to complete the puzzles. We purchased the full-version after I realised just how much fun she was having despite the puzzles repeating themselves frequently. There is some puzzles that are easier than others, the variety makes it interesting for her. Highly recommend!.Version: 0
✓ Great appGreat job on this application!!! Looking forward to your next creation!!.Version: 0
✓ My 3yo LOVES thisIt's great for little fingers.. She has a ball. The only downside is that the touch sensitivity isn't that accurate, as the piece will slide around under her finger (eg, touch the middle of a piece, move it around the screen, and when you finish moving, you'll be touching the edge, or the bottom, or the piece would no longer even be under your finger). A minor bug that I hope they fix in an update. Apart from that, highly recommended for the young ones..Version: 0
✓ Great AppMy two year old loves the puzzles and works great!.Version: 1.5
✓ Shape Builder Is Fantastic!!!! My 2 yr old LOVES it...This is MORE than worth the 99 cents to upgrade to the full version. I downloaded the "lite" and my 2 yr old was fighting me for my Itouch to play this. My husband showed him how to move one or two pieces and the rest is history... He is 27 months old. What a great dexterity lesson, not to mention seeing and matching the shapes, etc. It is the BEST. I had some trouble downloading it to my Itouch and Darren, the creator, returned an email immediately and has been SO helpful in seeing me through the easy fix. Bravo Darren, can't wait to see what you do next !! Thanks so much....Version: 0
✓ Fantastic application for our little guy!We were leery of downloading an application for our 2 1/2 year old but boy were we wrong! ShapeBuilder is the perfect application for our son when we are waiting in a doctor's office or restaurant. Plus we love to sit on the couch together as a family and go through 10 or 20 puzzles, he simply loves it. The puzzles are challenging but simple enough that a child under 3 can figure them out. The graphics are vibrant and an excellent mix of animals, people, objects and more. And most importantly, the sounds are superb! The payoff for completing a puzzle correctly, the reading of the word and a fun sound that accompanies it, which our son loves. Overall, we highly recommend Shape Builder. There isn't a better $.99 you can spend on iTunes if you are a parent. Enjoy!.Version: 1.5
✓ So Easy To UseI couldn't be happier with this product, at 99c its a steal of a deal for the educational value and entertainment value for your young child, its easy to use and fun to play. Buy this title NOW!.Version: 0
✓ Surprisingly GoodMy 2 year old has enjoyed the game for a few months now. When I first watched her play it, I didn't think it would catch her imagination, mostly because the puzzle pieces themselves are such uninteresting shapes. However, the touch and sounds when you pull a piece into place are great. My daughter also loves to guess what the final shape will become and it's nice that sometimes they are so unpredictable. I don't like that sometimes the unpredictable ones are so illogical - and more "trick" than "ah, of course". Still, a great app- one of the few she will play for a long time..Version: 0
✓ Highly recommendedA simple but well thought out little application and the price is a bit of a steal... Our 3 year old loves it..Version: 0
✓ Lifesaver!My 2.5 year old loves this game. I didn't think she would be able to complete the puzzles on her own, but she gets it done so she can find out what the picture will be. Great for car rides, restaurants, anywhere! I do wish the animation after the puzzle is solved was a bit longer. Other than that no complaints..Version: 0
✓ Great for little kidsMy kids don't read yet, so they can't play most games available for my iPhone. This one is a favorite! I'm glad there was a free version available to try. My 3 yr old loved it so much that I upgraded for more puzzles. I agree that the picture goes away too fast so I can't see what they did. The paid version should also have a menu or category feature so that we can choose puzzles if we want to. Some puzzles repeat a lot more than others..Version: 0
✓ My 2 year old LOVES this app!I love it because it teaches him so many cognitive skills. He learns letters, numbers phonics, and can now identify instruments and animals that he had not been exposed to. Parents who see him doing this are amazed, and they love that there is something like this out there "making it worthwhile" to own an iPhone. It may take a smaller child a few tries with Mom or Dad to get it, but the sensitivity is not as bad as some of the other puzzle apps out there. My two year old will work with this between 30 minutes to an hour on average if we let him. Thanks for such a great application! $0.99 is a steal!.Version: 0
✓ Shape Builder for Special Education StudentsAs a preschool special education teacher I absolutely love Shapebuilder. It is great for building fine motor skills and visual motor integration. Both skills are necessary pre-writing skills. The children would love when we had extra time and I would let them play on my iphone. It was also great for when the students had to wait for the bus or during other transitions. I am working with my school to buy ipod touches to use with students. I can’t wait, so I use my phone..Version: 0
✓ Good but no soundMy 3 and a half year old nephew LOVES this app. I just got a message that it needs to be updated by the developer. I hope that you update it so he can continue to play it..Version: 1.5
✓ Great app, but would like to see additional featuresAs an occupational therapist, I purchased this app to use with my kiddos in our treatment sessions to help improve their visual perceptual skills. One additional feature I would like to see added in future updates would be an option to rotate the puzzle pieces to make them fit to their corresponding places. Also, I would like to see added is a back button or an option to vew previous completed puzzles. Other than that, great app!!!.Version: 0
✓ Love itMy daughter loves this game, only thing bad it seems to repeat the same puzzles, but she still plays it..Version: 1.3
✓ Fantastic App for ToddlersMy daughter loves this app, it is one of the only ones that can keep her entertained for more than a minute, I have to beg for my phone back. Well worth buying the full version :o).Version: 0
✓ Great appMy 18 month old loves it.Version: 1.5
✓ Great game for a 4 year oldThe free version made me quickly decide that buying the full version was going to keep my 4 year old daughter busy when we are in boring situations (i.e. grocery shopping or at the airport). she quickly picked up how to play and loves the different puzzles. the one thing i would suggest would be adding more puzzles - and working on having the puzzles come up more randomly as it appears that they are in the same order whenever you need to restart, it seems like your doing the same ones over and over..Version: 0
✓ Fantastic!My 4 year old autistic boy will play with this for HOURS. Nothing holds his attention & keeps him quiet like this game- very handy at church or the doctor's. Wouldn't dream of deleting!.Version: 0
✓ A MUST HAVE... x2 !!My kids were fighting over this game so my husband and I each bought the app for our phones! A great educational game for the kids. Such a variety of puzzles, and so many different puzzles they never get bored. The sound effects are fun and encouraging. Very easy to use; great practice for fine motor skills, too. Turn the sound off for a quiet time game for waiting at a restaurant- the options are endless! Highly recommended. .Version: 0
✓ Great for young childrenMy two year old son loves this. So does my 4 year old! This is a really nice app that seems to have great educational benefit. Also good for teaching some iPhone skills, eg. Click and Drag..Version: 0
✓ EntertainingI've downloaded a lot of toddler apps, and they have different staying power. Some, my son will open once and not again, but this one is a hit. My 18 month old loves solving the puzzles - he's building his vocabulary, improving manual dexterity, and having fun. He gets a real sense of accomplishment when finishing a puzzle and he loves the sounds following puzzle completion..Version: 0
✓ This has been a hit!Our toddler (just turned 3) cannot get enough of this. I've not seen her concentrate so long on one activity. She loves the satisfying noise as each piece clicks into place and the rewarding sounds and pictures when each puzzle is complete.Version: 0
✓ Great appMy 3 year old loves it and plays for a long time. Thanks..Version: 0
✓ Well done!These puzzles are not simple, so I was delighted when my two year old, who has delayed learning, figured out how to work them in a matter of minutes. Great graphics, intuitive design, and a wide range of common objects and animals with matching sound. Provides a great learning experience as well as being entertaining. Very well done..Version: 0
✓ Love It!!I started with the lite version and had to immediately buy the full version because my 22 month old son loved it so much. I didn't think he'd be old enough for it, but he got the hang after just a few rounds of watching mommy. It's great to watch him learn a new skill while being so entertained! It has already saved us in the dr office, restaurants, and just at home fending off meltdowns. We've got about 10 apps and this is his fav! (Itsy Bitsy Spider is 2nd). He showed his 5-year-old cousin how to use it and she loved it too..Version: 0
✓ The kids love it!The 4 and 5 yr old girls I babysit love this app. The pieces don't stay under their fingers occasionally. I haven't been able to figure out if the kids let go of it, or if it is a sensitivity issue with the app. The audio is beautifully clear and the lady's voice is so enthusiastic(!) that the children love the validation at the end of each puzzle. I've had the app for well over six months now and they're still asking for it :) Great job devs..Version: 0
✓ Awesome!!I originally bought this app on my husbands nook. I ended up getting it on my iPad b/c my two year old wouldn't leave the nook alone ;-). He absolutely loves this app!!! When we had to travel yesterday it kept him happy for an hour!! That's just about impossible for a two year old. My other children ages 7,5, and 4 also love this app. Well worth the .99!.Version: 1.3
✓ I've created a monster ...My daughter (3 and a half) loooooves this, with the result that "I do puzzles pleeeeease" has become a very common refrain in our house. She'll sit playing it for as long as I'll let her - which can be very helpful at times ;-) She rapidly showed marked improvements in identifying the silhouettes, identifying which puzzle bit goes where, and developing the control to use the touch-screen effectively: all good skills. In short, I would recommend this app highly to anyone not too afraid to let their toddler play with their iPhone O_O ... Make sure though that you have (a) a good case, and (b) a good screen protector ;-).Version: 0
✓ AmililiAwesooooooooooooooooooooooooome i'm hooked & i know my 2 1/2 yrs old is gonna be hooked too, i've installed it for her to keep her busy while we r traveling on a long trip , i'm the one playing with it now :)))))) i think we r gonna fight on the plane, it's amazing, i have to thank Darren she's amaaaaaaaaazing, i had a problem with installation & i sent her an e-mail thinking she'll answer 2 or 3 days later she answered immediately & not once or twice but 100 times, whenever i ask her any question she answered me right away, honestly i've never seen anything like that loooooong time,i recommended it for my friends, clients- i work as an interior designer- & for my family, greaaaaaaat job & a greeeeeeeeeat game....Version: 0
✓ BUY THIS, a review from someone who doesn't write reviews........I've had this app for two or three years, our two grandsons fought over it a few years ago, "it's myyyy turn Nona, he did two", was a common plaintive cry. Now a few years down the road our granddaughter is recently two and we have yet another Darren Murtha fan. Shape builder and the Matching game are her favorites. I find D. Murtha's apps to be very educational, attention grabbing and fun 'games' for children. I wish something like this had been available when my children were young. Great app, I'd say, "BUY IT!!", if someone with children to entertain/teach asked me..Version: 1.4
✓ Daughter's favorite appThis is a great educational application. My 4 yo daughter loves puzzles and can't stop playing. The educational value comes from once the puzzle is complete, there are numbers that are learned, and the phonetics are given for letters that are produced. The one recommendation that I would have would be the ability to either manually go from one puzzle to the other (it may be there, but I could not find it). This would allow the player time to really understand the numbers that come up, or to see the picture created. We are learning the numbers 10 - 19 now, but there is no time to count that high before the next picture comes up. Thanks for a great app. Keep the new shapes coming..Version: 0
✓ 3 yr old loves thisThis is one of my son's favorite games for iPhone. Gives enough challenge, but never frustrates..Version: 0
✓ Fantastic application!My son (2 years 10 months) loves this puzzle game. His little fingers can move the pieces with ease and he's now an iTouch pro. The only odd thing is sometimes the pieces float a little off from where your finger is. Great job overall, and the #1 pick for toddlers!.Version: 0
✓ My 2 year old son loves it...My 2 year old son loves it....Version: 0
✓ Love it!I have a 20 month old boy and he loves this app. It is easy for him to use and he really likes the sounds and pictures. It's great that he is learning the names for all the letters and has fun with it. Highly recommend this app. It's worth the 99 cents to get the full version..Version: 1.5
✓ Shape builderThis game keeps our 2.5 year old occupied and happy, very good, interested in more..Version: 0
✓ Excellent app for preKMy 3-year-old daughter mastered this game very quickly and loves it - we sit together and talk about what piece goes where, what the end picture might be, and what sounds the animal or musical instrument makes once the puzzle is done, so it's got great potential for interactive play. My five-year-old son, who is autistic, also mastered this game quickly and I believe his using it is helping him progress with object labeling, spatial organization, and numbers - also lots of potential for interactive play. Both kids have benefitted greatly from this app and I can't recommend it highly enough..Version: 0
✓ My 3 yr olds faveI first had the lite version, she loved it so much, so I thought I may aswell get this one, best choice, she plays it so much she took over my iPod so I ended up buying her very own 8gig iPod, now we both enjoy playing this ap together! Full 5 stars from me.Version: 0
✓ Excellent app for toddlersWe love this app and it made travel with my toddler a breeze on many occasions. it teaches so many things to kids - develop focus, motor skills and the smile on my son's face when he solves a puzzle is priceless. must have for parents with pre-schoolers. Thank you and keep adding more shapes..Version: 1.5
✓ Great Kids GameMy two kids love this app. The graphics are very well done and the sound effects are spot on. I was surprised at the number of puzzles Shape Builder provides. It's cool watching my 3 year old learn how to drag the puzzle pieces around on the iPhone screen...he gets all excited when he hears the "click" of the shapes going into place. It's a deal for .99 cents..Version: 0
✓ IntuitiveExcellent variety and intuitive controls for a child. The 2 and 3 year old keep coming back to this one. The "stickiness" of the puzzle pieces was a great design choicer..Version: 0
✓ Great app for all ages!My 1,5 year old adores it! Would recommend to all parents.Version: 0
✓ My 2 yr olds most favorite appI’v had this shape builder app for about 3 years now. My daughter loved it and learned how to do it quickly. Now my 2 yr old son absolutely loves this app. I showed him how to do it when he was 15 months. I think it teaches him a lot of eye/hand coordination and word association. He was so upset about it not updating to IOS 11. He always grabs my phone and says “shapes mama”. I had to tell him that it needs to be updated. I emailed the developer and now it’s updated for IOS 11!! He will be so excited to be able to play shapes again.😁 Thank you so much for updating his favorite app. 👏🏼👏🏼 👍🏼.Version: 2.0
✓ Nice oneLove it. My kids love it, but please update with more puzzles...please!.Version: 0
✓ My daughter's favourite appGreat app and well worth the price for the extra puzzles over the lite version. Only improvement would be to be able to de-americanise it by selecting an alternative voice - we say "A FOR apple" not "A LIKE apple".Version: 0
✓ Daughter plays this for hoursThis is the first app I dowloaded for my daughter. She played it for 2hrs straight. And that was the lite version. Had to get full version. She plays it every day. It's a great way for her to work on hand/eye coordination and reinforcing letters/phonetics. It would be great to add an option that only shows shapes that become letters/numbers/other. All letters should be available and have the phonectic sound along with an easily recongizable object/animal starting with that letter. Please continue to add more shapes and take these suggestions into consideration. Thank you..Version: 0
✓ Best puzzle for toddlersMy 2 year old boy loves this puzzle game.Version: 0
✓ Love this App!My grandson and nephew love this app. They like to sit on my lap as they move the pieces around to create the picture. One thing that would be great is when they complete the puzzle, slowing down the time between the next puzzle. They really like to look at their completed work (picture), but it does not offer them the ability to look at the picture longer and discuss what they see. The pictures that are revealed from completing the puzzle are great!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Shape BuilderWonderful app!!! My almost 2 year old begs for the phone to play this game and my 4 year old loves it too! Great for developing concentration skills as well as spatial awareness!!.Version: 0
✓ Save our driveI am a mom of 3 who worked at a leading educational toys, LeapFrog, for 6 years. I researched and bought this one for my fulltime preschoolers, 4.5 & 2.5. Both love the puzzles. They are engaging and fun. We drove home from SD to SF. It was challenging to entertain on such a long drive. We pulled out this ap for my 2.5 yrs old hour 7 of driving. It occupied him for a good while. It turned his tears into smiles. I can see him smile after each puzzle. The praises are encouraging and not repetitive. Would love to see new puzzles soon..Version: 0
✓ Fun for preschoolersThis is a great app for preschoolers. Our 3 year old loves it and can easily play it without any help from us. I like that it tells her the name of the puzzle when she finishes. There have been several puzzles that she didn't know what it was and so it is helpful to have it named. Our 6 year old also likes to play with it for short periods. It is a fun and simple learning game..Version: 1.3
✓ Wonderful gameMy child loves this... he comes back again and again to it. I love that it helps him build spatial and logic skills. definitely recommended!! to the person wondering how to get the app back after your kid deleted it... if you back up to your computer, your app should be there (always transfer purchases to your computer), and sync again, and the app should reappear on the phone. good luck!.Version: 0
✓ Love it!You've turned my 3 year old into an addict! One more! Just one more! Pleeeeease! Awesome narration and sound effects..Version: 0
✓ Must have for young kidsThanks for the update I was heartbroken to tell my 5 year old and 4 year old that the game that they loved to play didn’t work anymore This game is essential for people with young kids a must have I would recommend this app to anyone who has young children ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Version: 2.0
✓ Absolutely fantastic! 3-year-old LOVES itMy daughter is just starting to play with interactive games on the computer, and on a whim I started her playing a simple game on my iPod Touch. She caught on immediately, and I realized that I had just bought myself a very valuable few minutes... so I promptly went looking for more good apps. I've found several, but this one is by far the best: top notch production, lots of puzzles (though we could use many many more!), and simple, compelling gameplay that my daughter can't put down. As we speak she has been playing with it for almost an hour, allowing me to complete a very important phone conference and send many emails. I am probably going to buy the Spanish one as well, and if they release expansions or versions for older audiences, I will buy those too. Based on the strength of this release, I need to check out everything by this author. STRONGLY recommended..Version: 0
✓ My boy loves this gameVery effective and great for all ages. Highly recomended for toddlers.Version: 0
✓ GreatMy three and a half year old will play this forever. I have to take it away from him if I want him to start..Version: 0
✓ Worth every pennyGreat educational fun. My 20 month old girl loves it !!.Version: 0
