Really. NO SOUND

Sounds not working. Latest version update killed all of the sounds.

I Like This App a Lot!. I am a kindergarten teacher, and I will use this app early in the school year. It would also be good for preschoolers. Cool soundtrack, a great little fox guide who is not too intrusive, and interesting graphics will keep kids engaged. I especially like that kids will need to mentally rotate shapes that are presented in different positions and sizes in order to solve the puzzles. The add on pack was reasonably priced at $2.99, and there were no ads even in the free version. High quality, Highlights!

Sound issues. Purchased the package but the sound isn’t working. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Great App, Issue with the sound. Daughter loves the app, but unable to get sound to work on my phone or my IPad. Tried a few tricks found in other reviews but to no avail

If notifications are disabled, there is deliberately no sound.. This is an extremely predatory practice especially for a kids app. I saw this on reddit and decided to try it for myself, and sure enough... Despite not having kids or any legitimate interest in this app, this is still a disgusting practice and this shouldn't be on the app store.

SERIOUSLY. I paid for the locked shapes, but they don’t transfer to a new ipad?!

No sound. I bought the preschool pack after highly recommended and there’s no sound....fully updated system 😕 and I know there should be sound

Volume stopped working. App was pretty neat but volume suddenly stopped working a couple months ago. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app and still nothing. Tried to do a live chat for help and that never works either. Don’t have time do be on a phone waiting on hold forever to try and figure it out. Just a shame.

Sound and music have disappeared. My granddaughter loves the games and enjoys moving the shapes. But we can’t get the music and sounds back on. I have tried pushing the individual on-off buttons for sound and music and turning the iPad on and off. Any suggestions?

Sound issues?. If you are having sound issues, try turning notifications off and on. Notifications have to be on for sound. At least that is what worked for us.

Love it, but have one issue. We love this app. My daughter gets such a kick out of playin it. Yet, I recently bought all the levels and I am unable to share the purchase with my wife. We are on iPhones.

Great Learning App. From the colors, themes, sounds and music to the actual tutorials themselves this app has held my kid’s attention and has taught them well. It all began with my 2.5 years old non verbal son who has received a diagnosis of autism. He persevered with isolating his finger and recognizing patterns with little outside motivation. It took some time but I’m happy to say he mastered the game. Hats off to Highlights for developing a challenging and rewarding app that also soothes. Please make more. 😉

My 2 yo loves it but one fix is needed. My son loves the games. But the home key is not child protected at all. Because my son has little hands he keeps hitting the home key in the upper right cornet by mistake. Make it so you have to hold it or tap twice to go home!!

Cool but kind of creepy. My kids like it but it gets kind of creepy. At one point it looks like they're building an ancient idol. Even my 3 year old asked nervously, "what is that?" when he saw the eye begin to move. He told me he didn't like it anymore after that.

Brilliant app. Just found this app on the store. my 5 yr old kid loves it and it teaches him the different shapes and colors!

AWSOME!. My niece loves it ,but I don't like how you have to pay for the other levels. Other wise as well as me I love the game it is a great informant for my niece with the colors and shapes.

Good app but needs some tweaks. My son love this but it is very frustrating how easily the "buy" feature is available to him once level one is complete. This needs more parental controls and maybe even a timer option. Also seems silly to buy the other levels. He's happy with the first level for now.

Shapes Shapes Shapes Fox Fox Fox. My daughter is obsessed with this game. I foolishly let her start playing when she was around 18 months old because she seemed interested in our phones. She learned the mechanics quickly and can now solve every level. It's a good, simple educational app game but my daughter is constantly grabbing for my phone saying "Shapes Shapes Shapes, Fox Fox, Fox", it has raised a lot of questions in our house about how much screen time is appropriate and at what age.

Great learning game. I babysit my granddaughter 2-3 days a week while Mom & Dad are at work. She love this game. It was very easy for her to pick up how the game works. This was her first experience with an iPad. I got this when she was 2, she is 3 now and still loves it. She was really excited when the new Xmas game was added to it. It is a very good reinforcement of shapes. She still laughs in the first part when the monkey jar bounces and goes hee hee.

Great for toddlers. My toddler loves it. It was a bit misleading when I got the e-mail saying it was a free app and only the 1st level was free, but after having my little one play the 1st level over & over again I decided $2.99 wasn't a bad deal for the other levels... it's a great learning tool for shapes and colors.

Do not play this game. I was just thinking

My son loves it. He particularly thinks it’s funny when noises are played when he gets the shape in. Like the monkey. He laughs at that every time. It was hard at first and sometimes he’s get it right and the shape wouldn’t go in but after 1 month he’s a pro. I was shocked when he showed me the trophy at the end because he did a whole level by himself. He just turned 2 a month ago.

Very misleading- Shame shame. Received an email stating free app. Well most anything can be "free" to get you to download their app, only one level unlocked and then they require purchase right away to continue. The one level was ok. The fox flying around dragged out the time to play.

Imaging app. Wonderful application for kids very recommended

Good content. I liked the content for the price on this app. When my kiddo (21 months) put two triangles together to make a diamond, he was like ohhhh. Putting the shapes together was engaging for him though he already knew all the shapes and colors before playing this and it was fairly easy for him so he was focused on the discovery part of how everything was being arranged. After reading some other parent comments, they bring up interesting points. Yes there are archaeological artifacts and spaceships if that is a concern for anyone. Honestly at 21 months I’m pretty sure he isn’t putting too much thought on that part yet and the colors are engaging. Would he have preferred more down to earth fish and animal themes, probably. But overall 5 stars cause it’s cost is reasonable for content and little guy is expanding on his shape knowledge enjoyably with this app in ways that physical puzzles would not provide easily.

Like it but wish it had more. I wish there were more than 3 levels. My toddler flies through them. There's also a glitch when trying to change languages. I'm trying to have him at least learn the shapes in Spanish too but it does not let me. Can you please help fix that?!

Fun. My four year old enjoys this app.

Awesome!. My daughter LOVES this app (22 months old) and is learning the names of shapes as she plays. It is fun and engaging as well as graphically appealing. Please make another app like this using letters instead of shapes so she can learn her alphabet too!

Great for toddlers!. I downloaded this for my two year old son and he absolutely loves it. I like that it doesn’t need WiFi so it’s perfect entertainment on the plane. He loves to move the shapes around and follow the fox around. It costs $2.99 to unlock all the puzzles but it’s definitely worth it!

No sound. Unable to hear sound . Able to hear on old iPad but not newer ones

Amazing. My son is in the spectrum. And he does this game like it’s second nature. Great. Love it

2 year old LOVES this game!. We are very selective and limit all screen time my son is exposed to. With that being said, my son picked up on the mechanics of this geometry puzzler very quickly and he absolutely loves it! The mechanics are intuitive and the puzzles are creative. My wife and I also love that the shape is named when correctly matched. Our only criticism is we would like to see more of the complex shapes, and not quite so many squares, triangles, rectangles, and circles. Great 5 star game! Please keep developing and adding in additional levels!

Great game for grands. Our grandchildren really enjoy this game including the 5 yr old, the 2 yr old, and the 1 yr old. I appreciate the calming music and other low key sound effects.

Shapes. Really good game!

Three year old loves it. Greet fun and learning tool.

I can’t play this game. I am playing ABCmouse

Beautiful and intuitive. Simple and engaging.

No sound. This app would be great if it had sound. I emailed app support and they haven’t responded.

Love it. My toddler loves it. Wish it was longer but it's a great combination of shapes, colors and fine motor skills for her to work on.

Love it but have no sound. My wife has this app on her ipad, so I bought another copy for my iPad. It works but I can’t get the sound to work. Can you help? Jeff Davis

Love it. I love highlights

No sound. We purchased this game and made sure our volume is working, reinstalled it and there is no sound...

Nice but.... I liked the app but for 2.99 they don't offer much. There are only 3 levels, if I could get a refund I would - My son wasn't interested in repeating the same 3 short boards over and over 😒.

3 year old daughter love this. My little girl loves this game. She was so happy to have new levels. Keep up the good work. Only thing I’d change is the music lol it puts me to sleep but she likes it.

Diamonds are rocks not shapes. I would give this 5 stars if it actually called a rhombus a rhombus. Why are we calling it a diamond? It’s upsetting. Pleeeeeeeaaaaasssseee update this app to reflect the plane shape’s actual name.

I already bought this. I bought but it got deleted by my kids by accident. I went to put it back into my phone and it's asking for me to buy it again. Really disappointing.

Easy learning tool. I sat with my granddaughter and we had a Grandpa and 3-year-old quality session. It reminded me of sitting in the doctor's office with my daughter teaching her with the printed tool. This was SOOOO much easier. We were learning, but it was updated to the 21st Century. Two thumbs up.

Shared in app purchases. Can’t share in app purchases w family.

A bit short for the price. My daughter enjoyed this game a lot today. I bought the expansion for $3 but I think she already beat the game. I know she's an above average 2 year old but the length was a little disappointing. But maybe she hit the home button when I wasn't looking. In any case this is a good game for spatial reasoning.

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.

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!!!!

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?

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??

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.

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.....

Disappointed. Paid $3.99 for upgrade which took my grandson 10 minutes to get through???

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?

Love This Ap. My great grandson is 2 years old and can do all of the shapes. He has played this many times and is great (can even tell you all the shapes). He knows all his alphabet (upper & lower case), numbers to 20 (10 - 0 backwards) colors, and shapes. This has been an excellent game for him.

App Won’t let me buy the game! as app need an account number??. I Try to pay for the full version -from an Android phone- but can’t create an account, can’t contact support, the text message does not go through… I want to spend money in your shop!!! Signed up for the 10% off, still can’t buy it! If you send me an email address, I give you the address in question.

What's wrong. Doesn't work on iPhone 5

NanaB. Love it. My 3 year old granddaughter loves it too😇

Wonderful apps it's really interesting 👍👍👍👍👍. I love this app keep up the good work ...

Nice little app, but VERY limited even to those who buy a Highlights Magazine subscription! 🤨. My preschooler loves the first level of this game / app and I appreciate that it isn’t smothered with ads like so many other apps / games. However, the other 3 levels of the app are “locked” and you have to pay for them. It should all of the age appropriate apps for the same age group (i.e. preschoolers, school age, etc) should be included with the magazine subscription. We pay a good $30+ a year for our child to get a monthly magazine that doesn’t include all that much in the way of stories (max. 3, one of which is mostly in Spanish which is annoying so we can really only use 2). Since we pay so much for a magazine for our child, it is not unreasonable to expect to get a code included with the subscription that allows us to get the apps included in our magazine subscription. My son is very frustrated that when he goes to play the next level, it throws up a math problem so that he can’t buy the next level. I’m not shelling out MORE and MORE money to this company just so he can play the additional levels. $30+/yr for a kids magazine is plenty (I’m positive that it doesn’t cost them nearly $30 to produce and send them, especially considering periodicals-priced postage and the minimal content in the way of stories, etc). The bottom line is this - for that kind of cash when you’re already buying the magazines, the apps should be included. (Obviously, if you aren’t buying the magazines, I can 100% understand that the higher levels have a purchase requirement, but not if you already pay for a subscription). Highlights has always been a child focused company and if they are going to make apps and advertise them in the magazines, they should at the very least include them in the subscription price. I’m very disappointed in Highlights as a company for doing this sort of thing - it’s not the type of behavior that I would expect from them.

Great. Fun😊. Perfect for my 3 year old.
