Special launch price 2.99 for a limited time Is your child Curious about shapes and colors? Playful little monkey CURIOUS GEORGE had so much fun with his toys that he s taken some of them ...
Apple flags a message when you open this app that basically says the app needs to be updated to work with current versions of iOS How does this even happen and I m looking at you as well Apple Unacceptable Needs to be updated on the day it was installed power iphone
Anyone having a sound issue How do you fix it There is no sound on this app No sound Rey545454
Kiddos play this app over and over and over Educational and keeps their attention Fun games and puzzles Kittens_420
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 it s 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 Overpriced JW's Papa
I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app 3 times I have even run a software update and reinstalled and still can t get the sound to work My 2 year old seems to enjoy it but it doesn t hold her attention as long as other games since there is no feedback from sounds Problem with sound DC Wally
Some features no longer function after recent iOS updates Needs an update BRU430
Love this game My son was very interested in colors and shapes after playing this game and learned them quick Helped my son learn shapes irina sanders
I don t think the developers actually tested this game with children The controls are too difficult The trace the shapes one is the worst it s annoyingly difficult even as an adult Too difficult for target age range CakeBytes
Where to start Shapes that won t pick up colors named wrong impossibly precise draw the shape activity maybe it would work on an iPad but the iPhone no too easy to accidently bump the back button inappropriate praise please praise process and effort and avoid meaningless You re great Oh yes and the music is maddening I paid way too much for an app I hate this much So Much Not To Like trust in the music
This was a fantastic app until the sound stopped working Obviously requires a repair to the programming to correct the glitch Repair bug Frustratedparents
Most used game by my son Works perfectly and has perfect sound on iPad 2 iPhone 5 iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 Plus Need more levels Best kids game jrsquared
Kids lose interest quickly with no sound No sound RalphSchmalph
Nice simple but keeps him captivated 23mo but the lack of multi touch makes it very difficult for him to hold the phone and move items at the same time If one finger is touching the screen another finger cannot provide input and move the shapes Kinda old style but it is Houghton Mifflin after all Maybe he ll be able to do it more easily in a few months Umm no multi touch sheldonreiff
Our two year old adores this george app There IS sound on our iPad 2 and iPhone 4 s This keeps him busy for a good amount of time and has taught him a good way to put shapes in their right places Love it Always Scanning
There is NO sound Come on Tech for Teacher
Same thing that s written here in other reviews Great app with really nice gameplay but no sound That s really a critical feature in an app targeted at toddlers They get bored so easily D Update the app Great app but needs an update for newer iOS Jancy184157
Well done with a variety of activities and very good production values Only one really annoying problem the back to menu button in the upper left corner gets bumped by my toddler s finger ALL THE TIME simply by the way he holds the phone He gets halfway thru a level and it suddenly kicks him out Two recommendations move the button and or display a confirmation before returning to the menu Solid kids app ClayAnderson
My 2 year old niece loves this app Well worth the 5 bucks She loves the T Rex but it would ve been great if she could skip the build process because she has a hard time building it Awesome app Ozzylot
My son is obsessed with Curious George This app is AWESOME Shapes tracing colors music Ted s voice or similar to cartoon voice And each update has added another box which is a set of activities To the people stating no sound I had that problem too I did multiple things on my iphone ipad Try them turn your device off completely and on again then try it Make sure the mute isn t on before you open the app and it s not open in the background Delete app and reinstall Each device had one of these work Hope you get it to work and let you kids enjoy I love this app well worth the cost Love it Jeskuuh
My two year old loves this app I agree with the latest review that the narration is educational Only one of the levels has tracing shapes which is still difficult for her She also loves the games you can play after the puzzle is finished Lots of thought put into this app For instance being able to feed the dinosaur a piece of meat Very cute app We love the update that included a new puzzle Keep em coming Best Toddler App Evan Kania
No sound Don t buy No sound Jenandmaddie
My 2 year old LOVES this game She can complete all except the couple if tracing screens This game is excellent for teaching shapes colors patterns and movement Educational cute narrative from George and the man in the yellow hat Best game for toddler Carsyn Becca's mom
My 22 month old LOVES George and is loving this app I bought it before a flight and it entertained her much of the time There are however only 4 5 shape boards and in one week she has completed them multiple times Wish there were more boards Great interactive shape game World Spirit
Good concept but no sound on my ipad3 or my iphone5 No sound seems to be a common problem muleta450
My 3 yr old loves this game He has figured out most of the games fairly quickly Game is about colors and shapes Love Marymack7
I purchased this app for my child on 12 23 After numerous tries it has yet to download onto my device Disappointing Contacted technical support Hoping the correct the problem quickly Technical Issues Mlcastro15
Good app fun games but no sound No sound JamesBmv
My 3 year old LOVES to play with George He has learned so much about shapes form color and order I won t give it a 5 5 because he has done it all already I believe there should be more levels available Overall the app is GREAT Great app Bobsmz
Just spent 3 my son now can t use it every time force crashes Crashes right after buying HORRIBLE Jstepbach
This app is so much fun The colors and animations are great My 3 year old loves it Fun and colorful Ark0578
The game forces close every time I try to play it I have never had a game do this before Emailed developer and they were no help They told me to make sure I had enough storage which I do I emailed them back to see if they would do anything to resolve this and never heard back DO NOT BUY Claychc
Just bought this app for my 2 year old and it keeps crashing Very disappointed Crashes LuzRose288
I bought this app for my 2 year old granddaughter The first game was great but she can t get past the second game of tracing the shapes because if she goes outside the lines it s counted as wrong Very disappointed with this purchase Soften the curve Dnnfstn
My 2 yr old loves this game so much that she cries every time it crashes every 10 seconds PLEASE FIX IT ASAP Great app but crashes a lot Wen ^_^
The app keeps crashing on us can you fix it Crashing app Azeiss
Do yourself a favor and do not purchase this until they work out the bugs Every time we open it up and tap the box to begin it kicks us out of the game Waste of money until fixed Does Not Work TapCov
So far it s fun and colorful but I can t figure out how to turn off that maniacal soundtrack Can t turn off annoying music earnestbird
My 2yr old loves it Great app ebedoun
Save your change Just bought the app and it keeps crashing Doesn t work Guerrero1011
Keeps me bysy Good 15 yo
Good app and fun for my two year old but no matter what I do the sound won t work Sound missing Changita hippity hop
WELL worth 3 bucks Took me nearly 15 minutes to complete That s longer than it takes to eat a 3 sandwich Learned so much I ve been calling the three sided thing a square this whole time Who knew it was a triangle Gosh Can t wait for the sequel Greatest game ever Mr. Sharingan4
This is a fabulous app for my two year old son and I to play together There are several different puzzles each with a number of tasks to complete that result in the creation of a fun animated toy that you can play a mini game with Some of the fine motor control skills and pretty much all of the mini games are a little beyond my son right now but he loves the matching games and he will just sit and watch the intro video over and over at this point lol It s definitely a game he can love now and grow into which IMO is a great buy The animation and voice acting are top notch and very reminiscent of the original books while still being relatable to the newer show All in all a very well made app A little advanced for my two year old but he loves it anyway shantismurf
My 2 year old really likes this game and can play it on my phone just fine But on the iPod it kicks us out everytime we finish the first level very disappointed because I don t want him playing on my phone all the time Please fix for iPod touch Works great for iPhone not iPod JewelsLance214
The pattern color matching part of the game is too simple for even a three year old but the game controls of some of the mini games are too finicky That d be fine if the app wouldn t crash every time one leaves one of the five boxes to get back to the main menu For us the app also crashed after completing the fourth box before being able to enter the mini game I rebooted the iPad and stopped all other apps to see if that would make a difference but it didn t Even if there were no bugs the other Curious George games are a much better investment since this one is super short and has very limited replay value Short and buggy Kid Rock C
This is the first ipad app that I have found for our 4 year old that actually holds her interest and that I feel is truly educational The man in the yellow hat provides just enough guidance to get my little one started but enough of a challenge that learning can take place The graphics music and short video are all well done and unlike another review incorrectly stated there are no in app purchases to mess with I would highly recommend this app for any parent looking to teach shapes colors logic and fine motor skills Fantastic Tikishark
It s not my phone that has the problem its this game Everything else with sound on my phone works but I downloaded this game and it has no sound No sound AmandaMcD33
My 2 year old loves Curious George but this was the worst App we have purchased Save your 2 99 There were two games the rest of the app is locked The two games took my 2 year old about 3 minutes to master The interface is nice the graphics are cool but I was expecting a lot more for a paid App Not impressed ToddlerAppReviewer

There is no additional cost for the games You have to play a game to open another one Its very creative and there are many activities My 4 year old son who is autistic could not put it down for hours This is well worth the money and I would recommend it Very Creative
