How good is a player’s memory? Touch any square to “turn it over” and see the picture, and touch another square to find a match. Kids can compete with a friend in two-player mode or play against a built-in opponent. The child goes first by touching on two cards, which automatically flip over to show the pictures on the front sides. Players hear the picture name spoken out loud. If the two pictures match, then that player wins the pair and plays again. If they do not match, they are automatically turned facedown again, and play passes to the built-in opponent or the second player. Play continues until the last pair is matched. The winner is the player with the most pairs, with possibility of a tie for first place. An added feature is a mystery picture concealed behind the game board. Each match uncovers part of it. Finishing the game reveals the whole picture! How fast can the player pair up all the cards?
Choosing “Play” at the end of a game shuffles the puzzle for a new challenge and the opportunity to improve. Names and scores get tracked in the player Hall of Fame. Beat your last score with the next game, and move up in the ranking! This app can also be a good way for adults to stimulate memory and “think fast” skills.

A fun matching game
TheTennesseeVol
This is a really fun game. It is very interactive...and well done. Each picture is given a corresponding The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that it is only "Player vs. Computer". My boys would like to be able to play each other...but I don't see how to make that happen. Add that feature...and I will add my extra star.
Lovely

My daughter, who has poor attention span, did not like this concept, but I watched her challenge herself as she did not want to loose to the computer. My son, who love critical thinking gobbled this app up. It was nice to see two different kids engaged in an educational app instead of some of the mindless stuff out there.

Execellent children's game. The timing is slow enough for children to follow along and play.
Super! Speech students love it

I use this app for simple turn taking, picture identification and also as a reward during breaks! We can always make a break an educational opportunity;)
Needs an update
Every-nick-name-is-taken
Seems to be a glitch. The game (on 1 player mode) repeatedly finds matches for pictures that have not yet been revealed. Takes a lot of the fun out of playing.
