Inspired by the pioneering works of famed Swiss scientist and intelligence expert Jean Piaget (1896-1980) Helps children improve their ability to handle simple objects through a series of engaging puzzles Real-time dashboard to monitor progress Includes an array of kid-friendly features, such as “passing” swipe control & more!

ABOUT BUSY SHAPES Busy Shapes helps children improve their ability to handle simple objects through a series of puzzles, in which they must change simple shapes and place them in proper holes. Along the way, the app responds to each child’s actions with positive guidance and motivation. Plus, the app’s digital exploratory playground regularly refreshes with different objects, which keeps children interested and engaged.

INSPIRED BY JEAN PIAGET Busy Shapes is inspired by the pioneering works of famed Swiss scientist and intelligence expert Jean Piaget (1896-1980), who believed that “children are little scientists”, and that a child's thoughts are built through experiences that encourage him or her to engage in the reasoning process.

INNOVATIVE, SCALEABLE PLATFORM Busy Shapes’ innovative scaleable platform for evolving experimentation lets children take advantage of the time they spend on touch screens -- so they aren’t just having fun, but learning every second of the way.

KID-FRIENDLY DESIGN Busy Shapes features a special “kid-friendly” design that compensates for the fact that when young children hold an iPad or iPhone, they often have a finger touching the screen.

“PASSING” SWIPE CONTROL Busy Shapes features “passing” swipe control that is essential for young children's quick hands (i.e. even if a child's finger reaches an object after he or she was already touching the screen, the object is still grasped as intended).

POWERFUL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) Busy Shapes’ powerful AI supports each child’s unique learning journey. For example, the AI tracks the time it takes each child to complete a level, and increases or decreases difficulty accordingly.

GUIDED ACCESS To prevent children from exiting the app by pressing the “home” button, Busy Shapes features a customizable Guided Access. This feature also disables selected parts of the screen for safety and protection.

SEAMLESS INTERACTION Busy Shapes’ seamless interactive game area never blocks or limits children, and lets them freely access shapes. The menu is also neatly hidden away.

AUTOMATIC MEMORY Sometimes the best learning is a combination of cognitive exercise and physical play. Busy Shapes’ automatic memory saves a child’s place in any particular game, which makes the app an ideal complement to physical play and for shorter games.

MULTIPLE LANGUAGE SUPPORT The app is now available in: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Greek, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Turkish, Russian, Korean, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, Thai, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese

User Reviews

Many reviewers praise Busy Shapes for its engaging, kid-friendly puzzles and nostalgic appeal. However, a core problem across multiple reviews is it often fails to load or crash after iOS updates, leaving young players unable to play. Compatibility issues, intro/level bugs, and perceived lack of timely support amplify frustration. When it runs, it’s valued for a tactile, endless, scalable experience suitable for children, but sustained functionality depends on fixes and ongoing updates.
Pros
  • Engaging, puzzle-based gameplay that challenges kids and scales in difficulty
  • Nostalgic, family-friendly appeal for both kids and older players
  • Tactile, multi-sensory design that works well for small fingers
  • Endless-style gameplay with surprising level progression
Cons
  • App frequently won’t load or shows a white screen, sometimes loading infinitely or crashing on startup
  • Compatibility issues with newer iOS versions and devices; not updated or no longer supported
  • Bugs such as levels resetting or getting stuck at the intro
  • Perceived lack of timely developer support or updates (promises vs. fixes)

Was good software that came in a bundle of four I paid for. This one, busy shapes 2, crazy gears, and crazy water. I guess they’ve given up supporting some because crazy water and busy shapes2 aren’t even listed on App Store and don’t work in new iOS. Beware buying the don’t support their software for long.
