ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Memory Matches 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory Matches 2 has 9.6K ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Memory Matches 2's written reviews are positive against 78% of Captain Memo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Memory Matches 2 ships an update every 6 weeks, Captain Memo every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
