They are all high quality and I use them frequently. One improvement I'd like to suggest would be an option to automatically progress to the next screen since I have several students unable to use the menu screen. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app for children with special needs *2015-10-10, version 2.9* This app not only allows for matching...but is a door to support language skills and cognition! Great motivator, with designs that are easily recognizable. ### 4/5 — Very helpful App 4 young children *2015-04-26, version 2.9* My kids love this App!!!! Helps them with speech, motor skills & turn taking as well. Being a mom with children with delays this App is a great help! ### 4/5 — Very easy for young children to learn *2014-09-15, version 2.8* This is a terrific app to teach the concept "match to same" and build vocabulary. Preschoolers learn to scan the entire screen and reach across mid-line. All of my students love it. ### 3/5 — Would give it 5 but missing a key feature *2014-07-22* My son loves this app! It's great and very educational unfortunately I had to delete it because there is no parent section to the game. The advertisements for other games are too easy to get to. I gladly downloaded other titles but there are some that are clearly past his skill level but he doesn't quite understand that. (He's autistic) I would love to have it again but it caused too much trouble. ### 4/5 — Good *2014-07-10, version 2.8* Good app. ### 5/5 — Great teaching tool *2013-09-20, version 2.7* My girls have loved this game since they were about 12 months old! ### 5/5 — Great *2013-08-28, version 2.7* My 17 month old loves this. She can complete several of the games and loves the smiley face at the end. ### 5/5 — Match it up *2013-08-19, version 2.7* Excellent app. I use it with my special needs students. ### 4/5 — Match it up *2013-08-13* Great well thought out and enjoyable ### 3/5 — Nice n simple *2013-08-09, version 2.7* My little guy really likes this app. Bought full version. ### 5/5 — Great for babies *2013-08-01, version 2.7* My 12 month son love it very much ### 5/5 — Love! *2013-07-26, version 2.7* My 19 month old loves this app! ### 5/5 — Match it *2013-07-15, version 2.7* Excellent ! :-) ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2013-06-20, version 2.5* My daughter has severe learning disabilities and she loved this app, especially the cheering once the task had been completed ### 4/5 — Amazing App *2013-05-29, version 2.5* This app is amazing! Visual discrimination, matching, and categorization all rolled into one. The only way to improve the app is to verbally name the categories, at the beginning if sorting and at the end of sorting. You could also say something like, "all of these things have something in common, they are vehicles." Worth the money for the full app! ### 5/5 — This is a great first step for learning *2013-05-05, version 2.4* Great for a first step, my 18 month old finds all the matches and he loves it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid for full app and still locked *2020-09-29, version 7.22* I paid for the game £4.99 and still locked!? So frustrating as I tried to restore, delete app and downloaded again and nothing! ### 1/5 — Freezes *2012-02-19, version 1.3* We have most of these games and they all freeze! Cute & very educational but they need to fix it so it doesn't freeze all the time. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2012-01-27* I loved this app and paid to have match it up 1 the extra part to have unlocked which was the additional 3 more screens! I am a SLP in a school district. I am very disappointed that the update APP actually took away 4 out of 9 that were previously free. How sneaky to make an update that takes away something you already downloaded and used. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Sad *2011-12-24, version 1.3* Like others, I was very sad about this update. I used this software with my mother who has Alzheimer's. I would never buy from you now that you have locked up games through an update. That was underhanded. ### 1/5 — What a crock *2011-12-04, version 1.3* Had this app for about 8 months where 6 of the 9 game choices were unlocked. My daughter loved it. Then, a recent update locked out all but two. Instead of adding more games to the paid version to entice buyers they took away what had previously been free. Now I'll never buy it. ### 1/5 — Don't trust this developer! *2011-11-18, version 1.2* They take away what once was free. Here's a Business 101 tip: add to the game and then ask for payment for the additions. ### 1/5 — Update *2011-11-11, version 1.2* Wow, why would you produce an update of an app to upset its users? I will never buy an app from you again. Who knows what you will pull next time. Updating the app removes the free content that was previously offered. Beware! ### 1/5 — Cheap Developers! Warning- don't update!! *2011-11-08* DONT UPDATE Wish I could give negative stars for this developer! I had downloaded several of the free versions of "match it up" and "build it up" apps several months ago. They included several unlocked activities and some that needed to be bought. They all have updates now which took away many of the previously free activities. This is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. DONT UPDATE ### 1/5 — SLP *2011-11-07, version 1.2* I think that it is terrible that during your update you removed boards that had been free all along. Really disappointing and my daughter loved playing the games. She was very upset when she couldn't play them any more. ### 1/5 — That's just not right . . . *2011-11-04, version 1.2* I thought the update sounded fishy. Glad I read the reviews before I updated. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2025-01-02* Great ### 5/5 — Match it up 1🐯 *2019-05-17* My niece that’s 7 years old loves to play this app game on my phone everytime I watch her. It allows her to learn her colors and name objects and different items... she always repeats the level twice and then moves up one! It’s a great learning app. ### 5/5 — Quite a Fun Way to Learn! *2019-03-25* This is one of my cousins favorite apps to use while using my phone. I absolutely love the concept behind it and even with autism he is able to do what it tells him to do. He is even getting better at the naming each of the little products. Thank you for such a helpful app! ### 5/5 — Match it up 1 *2019-02-07* My grandson Zayne is 4 years old He loves playing this game. It’s already helped him to learn the different vegetables 🌽 and working on animals this week. He has been intrigued with the game which helps me to help him. It’s a win/win for both of us. He actually sits still and is willing to learn. Thank you for sharing a great quality learning game. We will continue to play and learn . Tammy Nunnery ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2019-01-26* My 5 yr old son has been playing this. It has helped him with learning to match things. The app is very easy for him to do on his own. It’s simple and get for young children. I love how he can do it on his own while I can do something else. It gives me a break. It is perfect to add into our homeschooling lessons. ### 5/5 — Great learning app *2019-01-13* I bought this app for my toddler, like all kids my daughter always wants to play on my phone, with this app it’s not just useless games. She is learning how to match her colors/shapes/toys. I love this app! It’s easy to navigate especially for a toddler. She sits and play it for hours. I like that it catches her attention and is also educational. Highly recommend it for toddlers. ### 5/5 — My kids love it *2019-01-09* I have a 2yo son and a 6yo son with Autism, both of the boys love this app. They can both use it with ease and like that they can choose from different groups of items. I also watch a 1yo girl, 1yo boy and a 2yo boy who I have let play the game and they can also navigate it well. I recommend it for anyone with small children that may be working on fine motor skills. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-01-07* My son loves it. It is fun and simple. He knew what to do right away and was not having any trouble with it. He plays on it just about everyday which is good because it helps out with school. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-06-26* I love it ### 5/5 — The best *2018-01-04* As a Speech and Language Pathologist I recommend this app it is very useful for young kids, they love it, and they learn from it, thanks My First App --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
