### 4/5 — Needs update

*2018-01-04, version 1.0*

Please update to work with iOS11. This is great learning game for kids.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2013-07-25, version 1.0*

Our daughter is almost 3 and loves this game! My only two gripes is that the cards repeat a lot and for a kids game it has a lot of snake cards.

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2013-05-29, version 1.0*

I've currently been sharing this game on my current and previous iPad for the third and youngest grandchild we have. As the other two did at the same age she loves it and will quietly sit in my lap or next to me playing it for long periods at a time. Every time she completes a puzzle she claps her hands saying, "yay, I did it",  it's too adorable for words. I have all of Darren Murtha's children's games on my iPad for them. I think they are wonderful, well thought out, creative, educational and pure fun with the plus of the children loving to play them! It's always, "please can I play the shape game/matching game, etc. on your iPad Nona?", when I come to visit. I also want to say that when I first downloaded the drawing app and couldn't figure out how to use all the functions Mr. Murtha personally emailed me very detailed instructions and was so nice about it. I always appreciate customer care and feel he went beyond that to help me.

### 5/5 — Dad of 2 girls

*2013-05-19, version 1.0*

My 2 and 4 year old love this app! It's great and better than MANY paid apps I have for them!

### 4/5 — Great pastime

*2013-04-28, version 1.0*

This is the best memory game so far. My 4 yr old loves how the picture on the card is named and the sound effects as he matches the cards.

### 5/5 — Really Great App!

*2013-03-06, version 1.0*

My daughter loved playing this at 3 when I first got it. Now she is almost 4 1/2 yrs old and still enjoys playing this game. She loved pressing on the fun objects to make the crazy sounds and watch them move in fun ways once she had completed the matches.

### 5/5 — Teaches words

*2013-02-06, version 1.0*

Fun and love that you can change difficulty level. My two year old is learning to match and also picking up vocabulary.

### 5/5 — Educational and fun

*2013-01-11, version 1.0*

Great matching game that my 2 year old loves! The voice is not annoying either, like a lot of kids apps!

### 5/5 — Straight forward and fun

*2012-12-16, version 1.0*

This app developer is making great stuff. I found out about this game for my 20mo old from their other great game, Shape Builder. Like that one, this matching game is extremely easy to follow while simultaneously offering a challenge. The little intermissions offered after a game is complete is my sons favorite part. Could make an app with just those shape and sounds. MORE APPS PLEASE!

### 4/5 — Good game

*2012-11-27, version 1.0*

My daughter likes it

### 4/5 — Mrs MG

*2012-11-15, version 1.0*

My 3.5 yr old opened app on his own and likes it.

### 5/5 — Fav

*2012-11-15, version 1.0*

One of my favorite apps.  Simple but amusing.

### 5/5 — Great for memory!

*2012-09-15, version 1.0*

Sustained memory exercises great for pre-k

### 1/5 — Sound

*2012-10-23, version 1.0*

I cannot get sound on this app. All my settings are on. Am I doing something wrong? Do you only get sound if you pay for the app?

### 1/5 — The Vinny

*2012-03-24, version 1.0*

This game waz so freaking bad I wanted to throw my iPod in the 🚽I would like to 💣the freaking iPod out the winder 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎😭😭😪😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😠😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😣😁this game is💩🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽

### 2/5 — Match and play

*2018-07-06, version 2.0*

Paid for this and there is no sound. I tried resetting the iPad and checking sound settings. The sound reward buttons are useless without sound. This is an older iPad mini, but sound works for every possible app or function other than this app.

### 2/5 — Ugly and odd

*2014-04-27, version 1.0*

This app is terribly designed. It's ugly to look at, and the rewards are bizarre. I wish the people who make Endless Reader would make a memory game so I could delete this one.

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2018-02-26, version 1.0*

I liked this AP very much but disappointed I can not update to ios11

### 3/5 — Not bad mem match but....

*2014-06-19, version 1.0*

Easy access out of app, for me, in any toddler app is an auto 2 stars off. Please block all buttons with some simple mechanism so small children can not accidentally find themselves in the app store or elsewhere. (As in: hold this small button for 3 seconds for parent screens)

### 3/5 — Fun, but...

*2012-03-09, version 1.0*

This app seems like a way to get their foot in the door for you (or your kid) to buy more of their apps.

### 3/5 — sound does not work

*2012-02-12, version 1.0*

My son loved this app very much, but after the latest updates, there's no  sound for when he matches the images. We checked the settings, sound is on. We uninstalled and re-installed it. I don't know what else to do, I would really like my son to be able to enjoy this app again. We really do like it.

### 4/5 — Great and Fun app!

*2018-05-01, version 2.0*

Everything about this app is well done. From the voice overs to the objects at the end with the interesting sounds. Two suggestions: First - add an easier puzzles, say 6 or 9 squares for the early preschoolers. Second - I seem to remember the old version having three objects at the end with weird sounds. Please bring them back. The more better! My grandson loves them.

### 4/5 — Brilliant to have update, but where is super duper level 😧

*2018-04-28, version 2.0*

This is well-designed, offers a variety of experiences in three levels for young children: to increase memory strengths while having fun. When the old version was out of sync with IOS 11 I actually wrote to developers to encourage update. Very nice response!
Now it’s back and beautiful for young kids... but one star off for not having the Super Duper Hard level, which I (an adult) found as intriguing and challenging to play as Sudoku, for mental exercise.
Love you, but please consider bringing back level 4. I notice the red button is still on the level line, maybe next version will bring back Super Duper fun.

### 5/5 — GOOD GAME!

*2020-02-16, version 2.0*

I LOVE THIS GAME, I FIRST DOWNLOADED THIS GAME 9 YEARS AGO AND I AM LOVING IT, UPDATES WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

### 5/5 — Love this app.

*2018-04-28, version 2.0*

This is by far my favorite matching game. I use it every day with my school kids. I would love it if they added one with upper and lower case letter match. And even sight words. I would be willing to pay for those. I would be the saddest teacher if this app ever goes away.

### 5/5 — Mrs.

*2018-04-28, version 2.0*

We are so happy that this app is up and running again.  Our disabled daughter has only the use of her index finger and get such satisfaction playing the matching.  Thank you for updating the program.

### 5/5 — Have used this for years!!

*2018-04-28, version 2.0*

I am a speech therapist. This app was one of the very first ones I purchased years ago.  When I upgraded my iPad and I could not download the version of the app that I had I nearly cried. I sent an email to the creator and was thrilled to hear that they were working on the upgrade.  Hope to be able to use this awesome app FOREVER!!

### 5/5 — Great Program for preschoolers.  My 2 1/2 year old loves it.

*2017-10-11, version 1.0*

Great Program for preschoolers.  My 2 1/2 year old loves it.

Actually I love it too.  

Very sorry to see it won’t work with iOS 11. I’m not going to update my iPad. I just have to remember to take it with me when I visit. 

Thank you Darren for a great game for children.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2015-02-09, version 1.0*

Our daughter loves it, I love it...it's really great!
The only thing is...I wish there was an option to turn the sounds off!!!  
They can get on your nerves!

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2014-02-20, version 1.0*

my two and three year old sisters love this app!! I love how the designs are used kind of as rewards! Thank you for engaging them in learning!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2014-02-05, version 1.0*

A great game for kids. Simple uncluttered interface without banner or pop-up ads. Three difficulty levels available. Nice, distinct pictures.

### 5/5 — Memory and learn

*2013-11-25, version 1.0*

My 2 1/2 yr old  grNdson loves this and hasnt even realised how much he is learning and teaching him to remember

### 5/5 — Great for 2 yr old

*2013-09-29, version 1.0*

Our 2 year old spends a good 30 min per day on this game. It really keeps him engaged and he's learning many new words and sounds. A+
