Latest reviews of Curious About Shapes and Colors app for iPhone and iPad
I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app 3 times. I have even run a software update and reinstalled and still cant get the sound to work. My 2 year old seems to enjoy it but it doesnt hold her attention as long as other games since there is no feedback from sounds.
Not a good value. There are plenty of free and less expensive apps that offer this type of gameplay. This app is just riding on the popularity of the Curious George phenomenon. The artwork and voices also are not consistent with the other Curious George media out there, its as if this was produced by a stay at home dad with nothing better to do. My 25 month old solved all of the puzzles within the first 15 minutes of play. The only silver lining to this app is that after the child "assembles" a character by means of an unoriginal matching shapes exercise, they are rewarded by being able to interact with the character in fun ways.
Kiddos play this app over and over and over. Educational and keeps their attention.
