### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2015-05-14, version 1.1*

My kids love this kinds of games. They always wanna play something different good to know this game exists very nice game and nice music. Nice calm music great

### 3/5 — Great kids matching game

*2015-05-13, version 1.1*

The sounds, colors, and character/images on the cards are excellent. It's a great tool to help improve kids memories and help shape their mind. My only complaint is it feels the gameplay is very slow. Won't be an issue with the younger demographic, but it might frustrate those on the upper threshold.

### 4/5 — Great for kids

*2015-05-13, version 1.1*

This app is great for kids who are wanting to find games about cards, animals, numbers, and letters.

### 5/5 — Tremendous Work!

*2015-05-12, version 1.1*

The app itself is great,Bug-free and has an easy UI,This app is definitely good for children,Now I am sure that my kids are doing something good on their iPads!

### 3/5 — A good start

*2015-04-13, version 1.0*

It's a good start as a memory game. There a several different game modes, with the majority locked behind an IAP - but there's enough available to get he idea of what's going on. The design of the app is very nice and would be appealing to young children.

There are something's that I would change/add though that would make it a lot better. Some description of what the different modes are, just a brief title like 'match 2' '12 cards' 'vs' or something.
Another thing is that although the graphics are appealing, the animation is just to slow. It takes too long for the cards to flip over and show the picture. Think how long it would actually take to flip a card, ie less than 1 second, not about 2/3..

Overall it's a good start that could easily be improved upon.

### 5/5 — Worth the download but...

*2015-04-10, version 1.0*

Great app for kids also I do like it. So much variety of games and activities to be choose that me and my son gets excite. But I have some suggestion that can improve the game:
1.) Need a better sound. 
2.) Add some narrative voices in the game. 
3.) Add some instructions. 
4.) Add some titles under each games.

But overall, its a great app for kids and to all ages.

(SPOILER)
 I didn't know that it is a competitive game also ;)
