Each puzzle contains ten to fifteen pieces and once a piece is selected by your child the others will briefly disappear making it easier for them to see where the piece fits. … The only element of the app that she had a little bit of difficulty with was the puzzle holes that move across the scene; she got the hang of it quickly and no longer needed my assistance after I showed her what to do.

I review iPhone apps for moms. I have a decent grasp of techy things but the technical guts (for lack of a better word) of how the apps work are beyond me. So my reviews will be practical and purely subjective. Reviews for moms by a real life, actual mom. My kids will vouch for me.
