ABOUT BUSY SHAPES
Busy Shapes helps children improve their ability to handle simple objects through a series of puzzles, in which they must change simple shapes and place them in proper holes. Along the way, the app responds to each child’s actions with positive guidance and motivation. Plus, the app’s digital exploratory playground regularly refreshes with different objects, which keeps children interested and engaged.

INSPIRED BY JEAN PIAGET
Busy Shapes is inspired by the pioneering works of famed Swiss scientist and intelligence expert Jean Piaget (1896-1980), who believed that “children are little scientists”, and that a childs thoughts are built through experiences that encourage him or her to engage in the reasoning process.

INNOVATIVE, SCALEABLE PLATFORM
Busy Shapes’ innovative scaleable platform for evolving experimentation lets children take advantage of the time they spend on touch screens -- so they aren’t just having fun, but learning every second of the way.

KID-FRIENDLY DESIGN
Busy Shapes features a special “kid-friendly” design that compensates for the fact that when young children hold an iPad or iPhone, they often have a finger touching the screen.

“PASSING” SWIPE CONTROL
Busy Shapes features “passing” swipe control that is essential for young childrens quick hands (i.e. even if a childs finger reaches an object after he or she was already touching the screen, the object is still grasped as intended).

POWERFUL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
Busy Shapes’ powerful AI supports each child’s unique learning journey. For example, the AI tracks the time it takes each child to complete a level, and increases or decreases difficulty accordingly.

GUIDED ACCESS
To prevent children from exiting the app by pressing the “home” button, Busy Shapes features a customizable Guided Access. This feature also disables selected parts of the screen for safety and protection.

SEAMLESS INTERACTION
Busy Shapes’ seamless interactive game area never blocks or limits children, and lets them freely access shapes. The menu is also neatly hidden away.

AUTOMATIC MEMORY
Sometimes the best learning is a combination of cognitive exercise and physical play. Busy Shapes’ automatic memory saves a child’s place in any particular game, which makes the app an ideal complement to physical play and for shorter games.

MULTIPLE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
The app is now available in: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Greek, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Turkish, Russian, Korean, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, Thai, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese

Pros and cons of Busy Shapes app for iPhone and iPad

Busy Shapes app good for

My 2 year old loves this game. Only complaint is that it progresses very fast so he eventually gets stuck and frustrated. But asks to play every day. Likes it more than Sesame Street on HBO go!
My 22 month old took to this one instantly. This is not your fathers shape-sorter! ;) Ive not quite seen any other app like it, and Ive downloaded a ton of them for my toddler. Yes, you need to put the shape in the right hole. But, they throw in decoy shapes that have no holes. They place barriers between the shape and the hole. Its not just shapes that must match, but colours too. Sometimes the shape is underneath something and the child must knock it out first. Other times the shapes are moving and he must catch them before he can deal with it. This truly is a new and innovative take on the old shape sorting game. Rarely has my toddler been so engrossed in an educational game from the moment he started. And, for him, there was on learning curve. He got it immediately - with a little help from mom and dad. I couldnt recommend this one more highly!
My 2yo daughter loves it! This game is great for kids! You wont regret it! Would give it 6 starts if possible!
Great app! Its great to see him figure out each stage on his own. And its fun!
Encourages my 3 yr old ADHD child to think "outside-the-box". Non-stressful in the sense that it gets more difficult as you progress, but intuitively reverts to a simpler mode if child gets stuck not figuring something out. Game goes on forever. Simple sounds arent distracting or overwhelming, more reward-like? Thanks!
My 21mo old LOVES this game! Great for fine motor skills and cognitive thinking:) def recommend

Some bad moments

Hardly any progression proposed. Becomes quickly boring and repetitive. My five year old child do not like it and stopped using it.
It was ok on ios7 but after update to 8 there are issues occuring on some levels with moving elements.
It was going pretty well until my daughter got to some levels where there were NO shapes to put into the holes! In the parents section it says there were hidden shapes but there wasnt anything! Want my money back
My 18mo LOVES playing this game.... Seriously.... Im amazed by how high a level she can go on it! Great way to occupy a toddler on a plane!
The colors and sounds in this app add greatly to its appeal, and it engages me as much as the children I bought it for. The 2 year old can touch the shape and get it in the right hole. She likes the gates that need to be opened in the higher levels, and I can easily start it over when the shapes start moving. The 3 year old enjoys the challenges of the higher levels.
Very nice design and an app I feel good about letting my 21-month-old son play with. You match shapes and colors and the levels get more complex as you go. Highly educational and my toddler loves playing this game. Great app & highly recommended!!!
