Pros and cons of Shape Builder LITE - The Preschool Learning Puzzle Game app for iPhone and iPad

Shape Builder LITE - The Preschool Learning Puzzle Game app good for

This is the best thing for my three year old. She got all the puzzles done with little or no problem!!! Excellent!!
Love the 15 puzzles so much! Great for a free app. We bought the full version after my 3 year old loved this awesome app. Great narration and sounds! Thanks to the developer.
Very fun app - my 3 year old adores the puzzles - thank you for your hard work!
Weve ended up purchasing the full version of this since my three year old has so much fun playing it, and it really seems like shes learning different letters numbers and objects from the program.
Working perfectly and really easy to use. Too easy for children above 4 though

Some bad moments

Opens for a split second then quits. On latest iOS on iPhone 6.
Quits immediately after tapping on the app. Its 2016 it hasnt been updated in years. Too bad.
I got this app for my daughter and this app doesnt open. It will come on for a split second and shutdown afterwards. Please update and I will change rating
Sometimes, the puzzle pieces wont move at all. Other times, they wont move all the way onto their designated spot. Also, this game has not been effective in enabling my 3-year-old twin girls to learn the alphabet.
my 5 year gets totally absorbed in this game, so we even bought the full version!
My son goes to wakes up and goes to sleep asking to play "the match game". This app buys me a good 10 minutes out at dinner. He is also so proud when he solves a puzzle. We will be purchasing the full version. One note sometimes dragging the pieces get slow or difficult to move, not sure what causes it. Great app.
