### 4/5 — Things That Go Together

*2012-10-27, version 2.0*

Great app.  Wonderful way to sit down with your child and learn new words.

### 4/5 — Great content

*2012-09-06, version 2.0*

This app uses great pictures that students I work with enjoy.

### 4/5 — Set

*2012-09-05, version 2.0*

Like that I can set the screen to do the same number of tiles each time.

### 4/5 — Teacher preschool exceptional education children

*2012-08-06*

Love the idea of this app. Bravo to developers!  Love that you can control how many tiles/choices presented at one time.  However, my visually impaired children and those with short attention spans and impulsivity have difficulty perceiving what many of the objects are. Would love better contrast between working surface and the tiles. The white paper on the white tile is not even seen.  Also wish one could enlarge the size of the tiles without losing quality of the pictures.

### 5/5 — On a quest for kids logic apps!

*2012-08-05, version 2.0*

So glad I found Grasshopper Apps!  Logic and spatial relationships are such a great thing to introduce to kids through iPhone apps!  I also really like theGames: Sporty Mind Puzzles - a little trickier, really good!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2012-07-29, version 2.0*

The items get a little more difficult after each set of go togethers. My son loves the app & is always his first " go to"  app. A great starting app for teaching categorization.

### 4/5 — Kindergarten Teacher

*2012-07-05, version 2.0*

I loaded content to for matching letter to sound and CVC word to picture. I can't wait until I add more kindergarten standard skills to this app. This is so much more exciting than flash cards!

### 4/5 — Great work well done! But?

*2012-06-25, version 2.0*

I love this app an the fact you can customise the pictures and audio is a good idea, I have been able to tailor it to my child's need, but there is one thing I find frustrating! You can spend alot of time creating and then at a click of a button your child can undo all that work! Please can you password protect the reset setting function in a future update. Then I will give 5 stars. Great work though.

### 5/5 — So fun

*2012-06-15, version 2.0*

This is a great way of learning

### 5/5 — Great app for slps

*2012-06-14, version 2.0*

Great app with many options for customizing! Love this for preschool speech therapy!

### 5/5 — Great for little learners

*2012-06-12, version 2.0*

Looking forward to using this app with my ECK kids this year at the beginning to get them used to the iPad.
Thanks!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-06-11, version 2.0*

This will be a terrific app to use with my kindergarten students. I like that a voice says the name of each picture!

### 5/5 — Good supplement for tutorial

*2012-06-10, version 2.0*

Helpful supplement for teaching students who have difficulty with similarities and differences.

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2012-06-10, version 2.0*

This is an EXCELLENT app for making associations, I LOVE IT!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 3/5 — Great

*2012-06-09, version 2.0*

Seems a really good way to learn to associate objects but think some of the pics aren't clear enough (eg. key chain).

Bit advanced for my 2 yr old at the min but will review again when she's older...she loves your other apps though!

### 3/5 — OK Game

*2012-05-09*

This game is OK. My daughter liked it, but it is petty simple and repeats a lot.  Could be good for language learners, but some objects aren't obvious so the kids need to see them a couple times to know what the match is.  The encouraging remarks are very repetitive and boring, but you can record your own phrases, that are more interesting.  I haven't done that yet, but i'm sure my daughter will like hearing my voice when she looks at the objects.  You can also add your own items to match which would be fun so they don't get bored.

### 3/5 — Alligator app

*2012-01-18, version 1.0*

I felt there was a lot of pictures did not recognize. Anxious to work with her more

### 3/5 — Good app

*2012-01-15*

There are a few apps out like this and my 2 1/2 year old likes them gets bored with them after a few min tho. The only thing is somethings like binder and a three hole punch is not something I think a lot of kids know go with each other or that they are.

### 3/5 — Go together

*2011-12-24, version 1.0*

Would like to see the pictures bigger as I work with visually impaired kids. Otherwise t's a good app as it uses lots of vocabulary words to help younger children learn a variety of words

### 4/5 — Little match ups

*2016-11-27, version 2.0*

Very good

### 4/5 — gute app

*2013-11-18*

Gutes Lernspiel aber mit IOS 7.04 funktioniert die Mikrofonaufnahme leider nicht obwohl der Zugriff erlaubt ist.Bitte updaten dann gibt es 5 Sterne.

### 4/5 — Great app for kids

*2013-02-01, version 2.0*

Great app for kids to play, keeps them busy.

### 4/5 — Kids like it!

*2012-12-13, version 2.0*

My only complaint is that it automatically advances to the next page--as an SLP I want to encourage my students to verbally discuss "why" things go together.

### 4/5 — Things that go together

*2012-11-23*

Very useful app.  I like it a lot, but would really like it even more if pages didn't advance automatically. I want time to discuss why they go together, so want to advance manually. Could this be an option?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great for children with autism.

*2014-08-06, version 2.0*

Very good app. You can use your own pictures to make pairs

### 5/5 — Well planned covers all the bases!

*2013-07-25*

Tap on a picture to identify it if the child is unsure or unfamiliar with the picture. A clear pleasant voice is used in all instances encouraging the child at every point. Lots of bright attractive photos with interesting and functional themes. I recommend the app for use in a classroom, with one on one, or in a home setting.

### 5/5 — Kinder teacher

*2013-02-17, version 2.0*

My students love this app! It is great for discussions in small groups. We just discuss why we are making choices before touching our choice. Thank you!

### 5/5 — My 4 yo enjoys

*2013-01-01, version 2.0*

This is a very well made, attractive and absorbing spin on matching apps. Highly recommend for 3-4 year olds.

### 5/5 — Things that go together

*2012-12-27*

Dieses Lernspiel benutze ich sehr erfolgreich in der Therapie für Kinder und Jugendliche mit Autismus. Es enthält gute und eindeutige Fotos und lässt sich auf dem I-Pad gut bedienen. Dieses Lernmedium eröffnet autistischen Menschen ganz neue Dimensionen und wirkt auf das Lernverhalten und die Lernbereitschaft sehr motivierend.

### 5/5 — Thanks for the great free app

*2012-10-10, version 2.0*

Making links and associations is such an important cognitive skill! Its very nice to have another way to let students practice.
