Friendly Shapes Storybook App Reviews

My 2&1/2 year old loves this app

The ads are right next to the next page buttons and huge. Also the ads were for New York Times, Home Depot and a violent video game. Pass on this so glad I tried it without my 2 year old. You developers should be ashamed!!

This app might be fun for toddlers, but they have to navigate through all sorts of efforts to sell them additional apps or levels or whatever. Its too junky for a three-year-old to use easily. They constantly have to hand me the phone to navigate through these ad efforts. For this reason I cannot give it a good review. If they clean all that up it might be a great app.

My 21/2year old plays the puzzles is loves them! I just bought the full app so she could have more choices and is learning her shapes in a fun way!

I love this app my 18 month old loves playing it. He repeats the shapes. An love tapping all the animations.

These people are too greedy. They keep popping up ads about their other products even after paying. I tried deleting and reinstalling as they suggested me to do (I emailed them for support), but the problem persists on all my devices.

This is one of my 18 month-olds favorite apps. She loves the shapes and interaction. The biggest problem, and only reason I didnt read it higher, is the large app front and center on the bottom were any child is most likely to touch several times a minute. The annoying part is that not only does it launched the App Store, but it launches Safari first so that they can track that someone click the add. Later on when you open Safari yourself, that tab is still open and automatically relaunches you into the App Store. Once you open Safari, you only have about a second to close that tab before it does so.

Downloaded this and opened it up with my toddler and there was an ad with a scary demon character on it. Not cool for apps targeted at little kids learning their shapes!

The app itself is fine, but if you need help from TabTale, do not expect to get any - even if you have punched the paid version.

Causes kids to press the wrong thing. One star.

The app store abounds with bad games. This is one of them. It is further annoying to delete since the name listed in the “Apps” page of iTunes doesn’t match the name on the iPhone screen.

This would be five stars (our 2.5 yo loves the TabTale games weve bought so far) except we bought the previous version before noticing there was an update. Right after updating the app is locked again and asking us to buy it again. Se never even saw the unlocked previous version so shes not as upset as her parents are about this!

My son loves this app. It was his favorite but he would often get frustrated with the ads and the fact that most of the puzzles and things were only available after purchasing the full version. I finally broke down and bought the full version and it was great! We were very happy until we got a new device and discovered that we must purchase the whole thing over again if we want it. I feel cheated, and my son is very upset. Upon reading reviews it seems others are having trouble with it disappearing when the app updates too, which we have not yet experienced. Do not purchase the full version!!! It is a waste of money and they will try and cheat you out if it again and again.

It is clever to put the ads at the bottom of a game for toddlers - because they are bound to hit it repeatedly and parents may be inclined to go ahead and purchase just to stop the ads. But - why doesnt that carry over to multiple devices? I have twin two year olds. I have the app on my iPad - but yesterday both boys wanted to play it. So I downloaded it to my phone, only to find ads again. Its so disappointing to read the reviews and see so many people back to 2012 loving the app, but having the same complaint. I had started searching for more by the same company but it doesnt make sense to have to purchase the app for each separate device we have - so I wont purchase more until that is corrected. Very disappointing.

I installed this for my daughter. While painting it would pop up ad to buy things from the developer for $0.99. Then open the App Store for other apps to be installed, point the browser to financial websites, and it wanted to use my location. As an IT professional, I advise you avoid this app.

My kid cant even play this for more than 10 seconds without hitting an ad & switching to Safari. There is a coloring book with only a few pictures; the rest are padlocked & are in-app purchases. Ridiculous!

Way too many ads and everything was locked. I paid $3.99 to unlock and now theres still some ads and app wont budge from main screen. Ive tried clicking everything to enter and cant figure it out. This is supposed to be user friendly for 2 year olds!!?

What kind of program for clumsy toddlers has a ginormous ad bar across the bottom to kick them out into a web browser? I need something my kid can play with safely, not something that will easily send them out into the wilderness of the Internet. Worse than useless, dangerous. Uninstalled.

Seriously spammy.
