Best value to purchase is MORE expensive than original price???
Just got a look at the purchase page in the game and it says “get them all for $7.96” except the $7.96 is crossed out and $8.49 is next to it with the words “best value” next to it. There is nothing to indicate that you’re getting more for this value and it simply lists everything for that one price regardless and there is still a second purchasable square below that of an additional game for 2.79. Explain to me how paying MORE is the better value????
Not allows family share
Very annoying for not allowing family share. Be aware!!!!
Not fair
My kid loved this game but my phone updated and I lost all the levels we had. :(
After update I lost the levels I paid for
I already paid for the full game. Why am I being forced to buy the full game again? App support is also broken.
No sound
Hi, my little one loves this game but there's no sound. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the game but no luck. Can you help please?
Rip off
I agree with others. Great game. Kids learn from it, but it’s a rip off for subsequent levels. $3 for a 2 minute game? C’mon.... at least make the levels more challenging or evolve..... you can buy more tactile activities from the dollar store for the same price, and they have overhead.....
Great game make worse by greedy in-app purchases
It’s a great game for teaching your child shapes and colours but beware, it will nickel and dime you every chance you get.
$3 for one level that takes about 3 minutes to finish. At least let us have access to both new levels for that price.
Not happy
I paid to have more levels for my son to play. He LOVES this game. Unfortunately my phone updated and it no long has the extra levels I paid to have. Not impressed?
Great app, more please?
This app really helped my one year old learn his shapes, after a few weeks though he unlocked all the levels and now knows them all by heart. Is there any possibility you’ll be adding more levels and more challenging shapes??
Disappointed
Paid $3.99 for upgrade which took my grandson 10 minutes to get through???
