Memory, also known as Concentration, is the classic card game that trains your memory. Great for kids from 4 to 99. All cards are dealt face down. Tap two cards to turn them face up. If they match (same rank and suit), they leave the table. If they don't, they turn back over and you get one "Oops". Clear the table with as few Oops as you can. - Six sizes, from 12 cards for beginners to the full deck of 52 - Letter cards for young children who don't know playing cards yet - Card Design: choose the card faces, the backs and the table color - The Scoreboard keeps your best score for each size - "Show all cards on start" for a gentler beginning - How To Play guide built in Made for families No ads and no accounts. Settings, the Tip Jar and links out of the game sit behind a simple question only grown-ups can answer, so kids can play on their own. Parents can turn that off in Settings. Memory is free. If you enjoy it, you can support future ad-free games with a tip.
Shikaku
Read full descriptionHide full description
Shikaku is a calm logic puzzle about dividing a grid into rectangles. Each number is a clue: draw one rectangle around it, and make the rectangle's area match the number. Every rectangle must contain exactly one clue, and the whole board must be covered. Play quick puzzles with four difficulty levels, take on a fresh daily puzzle, and track your best times and streaks. The hand-drawn paper board keeps the focus on solving: drag to draw, tap to erase, undo mistakes, clear the board, or use a hint when you are stuck. Features: - Classic Shikaku rectangle logic - Daily puzzle generated from a shared seed - Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert boards - Best times, timer, and daily streak - Hints, undo, and clean drag controls - Notebook-inspired visual style

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shikaku at none against Memory's 3. Shikaku also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 13 months). Memory's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
