MatchPad

As the name implies, this app is a card matching game along the lines of concentration. It has a cute little tiger on the front so I downloaded it for free one day just to check it out. I was hoping to find all sorts of cute little animals for kids to match up. Instead the cards have an odd assortment of items to match – like shoes, jewelry and wine glasses (hmmm). The app times you & keeps score as you progress through several levels. In addition, as you successfully complete a level, you are given verbal praise such as awesome, cool or to easy (not to be confused with too easy which actually is the correct homonym).

There doesn’t seem to be a free version available any more –  just the $2.99 HD version. I am not sure I would download again it for free let alone $2.99.  Matching games are good for kids but there must be better versions on the market.
