Nice game but a little awkward. I've put my email for the artic puzzle pack at least 3 times now. Can't get past the first puzzle though. One of the pieces is nowhere to be seen on the screen. Plus lots of the pictures or pieces are half on/off the screen. Is this meant for tablets? Does anyone test the app before it's publicized? The controls are weird because sometimes you barely get the piece over it's spot and it goes automatically, then other pieces have to be placed exactly. Fix please.
Great learning game, my two year old picked it up quick and enjoys it. The big issue is that, she has a tablet and i bought it on my phone/Google account. I wish it supported family library feature so I can just re-download the app under my child's Google account. Now I have to give up my phone every time she wants to play it!! I'm not going to buy multiple copies for each device!!
my daughter loves this game but similar to another reviewer, some of the levels are now unplayable because the pieces are no longer showing up on the screen to complete the puzzles. I contacted your app support and they thanked me for letting them know but did not give me any way to fix it so some levels are just not playable anymore.
Love this game for my little one. We've had it for a while and it doesn't get old. Love the colors, graphics and sounds. But, as others have stated, I am having the issue with the Sweet Arctic Puzzle Pack. One piece is flat out not there. Therefore we can't move forward. Please please fix this. ❤
This a phenomenal app and I really wanted to give this a 5 star review, however, after having the app for a year I upgraded phones and attempted to restore my purchase of full version and it could not find purchases. Of course I could see how this wouldn't be a priority to fix since most people just repurchase the app thus the developers could gain revolving income.
My son has loved this game, but as others have stated, some levels are now unplayable. The pieces don't show up on the screen. 5 stars though, if the issue is fixed and he can play it again.
Lost all the in game purchases I made with the new update. Can't get them back with the restore option, it just hangs on the wait a second screen and does nothing. 1 star is for the lost money I spent
have been charged for this games again and again. I bought it first time on 23/05/2017 it was pack 2+pack 3 for £2.29 total 5 games. When i reinstalled again i was asked to pay for the same two games game £1.79 each on 8/01/2019. And now i had to reinstall my tab again and was asked to pay £5.49 again on 5/10/2019. This total makes £11.36 .
My daughter loves this game! She enjoys discovering what she has built after the puzzle is finished. The color mixing is also a helpful learning aspect of the game.
Just the first free game got me and my boy enticed. The flying little fox traveling around places, the way it sounds off the shapes and color. Real good.
My son loves this game and I bought all the extra levels but a recent update made several levels unplayable due to sizing the screen incorrectly and not showing all the pieces.
Easy interface, simple labels, colors seem a bit off. Each locked level is a little overpriced individually.
My 3 year old LOVES this app! It is very engaging. My only issue is the first level of the bonus winter game doesn't fit within my phone's screen.
my son loves this game. I would love it with him if I could get this app to restore the purchase of all levels. I have not been able to transfer his progress from my phone to his tablet. what's the point of paying if you can only use it on one device?
My preschooler had lots of fun learning. He still plays with it, even though he already learned shapes, colors, etc.
Great App, daughter loves it... Her tablet recently updated to Andriod 10 and now the purchases are gone. Can't restore purchases or purchase again for that matter. Edit: purchases restored with latest update!! 😁 Happy toddler 🥰
I loved this game for my son so much, I bought the full version! But now I'm super disappointed that I have to pay for each of the two new levels being advertised. I feel like I've already paid for the game, so why do I need to pay $4 more?
Purchased on one device and attempted to restore on another device but was unable to. Contacted customer service and they started trying to help then just never responded to my inquiries.
I am a 42yr old Grandma of 3 grandsons ages 3-7...and 1 beautiful Grand daughter inwhich is 5 yrs old...however they all love being on some type of device so now its nice they can click on a app that not only is fun..but educational...THANK YOU
We love this app. My grandson is one month before two years and he can do it. I use it for unexpected delays and it works for about 10 minutes.
My three year o!d loves this, but it's hard for him to get the shapes moving sometimes. Rrquires a little too much precision.
Such a fun creative way to reinforce shapes!! I am SO impressed with the Highlights apps I have. My kids love them!!
Both of my young sons LOVE the app and are learning by using it. I could not ask for much more in an app for kids.
This is a wonderful app for young children. It's easy to use and free and such a cute and educational app. I highly recommend it!
My 3 yo daughter LOVES this game. UNFORTUNATELY, we just bought her an Amazon Fire tablet and this app is not available in their Appstore and we don't have access to the Play store (unless I void the warranty). Please, PLEASE make this available on the Amazon Appstore.
My daughter loves this game. Trying to figure out if it can be played without wifi. She plays on my phone and I want to buy her a tablet for on the go play.
Amazing app!! In all seriousness, my just-past-2 toddler will stay focused on this longer than almost anything else. He will play it quietly on his own for an hour. He was able to deduce how to play in a few attempts, and he learned to adapt to the changing rules/goals. I can see his brain growing while he plays. It was well worth the few bucks to buy the full game package (and no ads!!). Highly recommend for parents of toddlers.
