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

Not working

On iOS 13 🥺

Was good software a year ago
     
by physics thing · February 7, 2025

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.

Works perfect.

We have 3 kids and this game has been fantastic for all 3. Very worth it.

Purchased app and it won’t load
     
by Chelbellpepper · November 30, 2019

We got this app and it looks amazing but nothing loads:( hoping someone can help us fix the issue since it was $2.99...

Disappointing
     
by KRQn · June 9, 2021

I downloaded and paid for this app for it to only work SOMETIMES. When we open the app it plays the intro music then shuts off. My daughter was able to play it long enough to really begin to enjoy it before this started happening it. It works every couple of months now. Super disappointed.

White screen

App doesn’t open any more. Just a white screen that never loads.

Broken

I just bought this app last week and all I get is a white screen. I get a sound when I move my finger around on the screen but cant see anything. How do I get my money back?

why it’s pretty annoying

When you change the shape it make the worst sound EVER!!! I don’t really even want to keep this app! So maybe don’t get it.
