iShapesQ - Show #39

Grade Level: Toddler / Kindergarten

Program Functionality: A / Works as advertised.

Purpose: B / If you believe in a Baby Einstein approach than you could see value in this application.

Overall Educational Value: B- / I think it all goes back to if you believe in the way the app is teaching kids than this should be a higher grade. We just don't see enough research on the effectiveness of this approach. There certainly isn't research saying this is bad if kids were to engage in this activity with their parents so I say go for it.

Cost: $0.99

Recommendation: We are recommending this app for personal use if you think your kids would enjoy it. We just can't recommend it for schools at this time.
