## What is Memory King?

★★★★★ "Wow... the best memory game in the App Store bar none and it's free!  Our family has always loved playing memory cards and this is by far the best version yet.  It's even more fun and addictive than the physical board game, especially given the huge number of cards.   The addition of magic cards is also a huge plus!  What an awesome twist to a famous classic.  Highly recommended."

While we think that magic cards make the game more fun and unpredictable, you can use this button to turn them ON or OFF. Please note that you need to have at least 8 pairs included in the game for the memory cards to appear.

### 4/5 — Great game but needs update!

*2019-06-20, version 1.1*

This is our favorite memory game.  We love the clear photos, spoken labels, options.  But we cannot use it on newer iOS.  Please update!!

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2018-08-11*

Great app but won’t work with newest iOS

### 3/5 — Please update to ios11

*2018-06-02, version 1.1*

Please update this app to work with ios11.  
Thanks!

### 5/5 — Memory king

*2018-05-02*

My students loved this app. However, when I updated my iPad to ios11 it would no longer. My students and I would truly appreciate the update as I’ve found nothing else to compare to it.

### 1/5 — Update

*2018-03-16, version 1.1*

Please, update this app!!!

### 3/5 — Please update to make it work with iOS 11

*2017-11-05*

I bought the extras in the game but I cannot access the game after upgrading iOS! please update game to be compatible.

### 1/5 — No purchase restore

*2016-11-01*

No restore from within the app. Sent the developer an email, they sent me a link of a new app(???). 
Really bad customer experience.

### 5/5 — Memory King!

*2016-10-23*

This is a great app. I think that the ability to customize your own cards and sounds is a cool feature! I also love the layout and how polished it looks versus a bunch of other memory apps. For example the background turns the active player's color and the score on the corners are a nice size. I Am giving this 4 stars because when playing on an iPad, there are a few hiccups in the layout, the start screen is small and looks scaled for an iPod and the background is too. The cards also look small with a lot of dead space. Thanks for the nice app that whole family can enjoy! I by all means think this is not a kids only app' teens and adults can enjoy it too!

### 5/5 — Supports up to 4 players

*2016-07-16, version 1.1*

I use this app in speech therapy and really like that it can be played by the whole speech group at one time!

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2016-06-21, version 1.1*

Lot of fun to play this app, highly addictive. Ads are at a minimum.
