Update: years later I am still utilizing this game. I'm a nurse anesthetist and this game works as well, if not better than drugs, to ease children away from their parents. It's a fun distraction and they match from the outpatient area all the way to the OR, as they ride on my stretcher. It's been a life saver. I originally got this for my 3 year old and he loves it. However, my husband and I have enjoyed it just as much if not more. We are in competition and I just beat his record time. Cant wait to tell him Im a better animatcher!!!

LOVE this game! My 2-year old has played it over and over again. She is so proud of herself when she makes a match! She pumps her arms and says "YES!" I love that it has animal sounds as well as pictures since it seems that toddlers learn best with both. Being that my daughter just turned two, I thought this might be tough for her, but it's been a challenge perfect for her. This app obviously contains only animal sounds, but I'd love to see other sounds like ambulances, helicopters, ships, motorcycles...

I've had Animatch on my iPhone for a couple of years now. My grandchildren literally sit and take turns playing this wonderful, simple and fun game. You would think they'd be bored with it by now. Nope - they still love it. While waiting for their turn they don't whine, whinge or complain - they simply watch the others play (and sometimes help each other). The updates are always great - especially when new animals are added. Best .99 cents you can spend!

This is the 2nd “memory-match” app I’ve installed on my Ipad for my Great-Great-Grand son I care for two days every week. I am particular over the Apps I select for Ashton (age 3 3/4 years young). I’m simply lovin’ this. Just installed. Little Man will play with it on Monday. I know he will looooove it! Thank You so very much to the creators. BTW: At 82, I’m playing it too, to test (my memory)!

Our daughter started playing at 13 months, just pushing the buttons. By 15 months she picks up my iPhone, turns it on, finds the app and starts playing. She completes all the matches by herself, and it is such a joy watching her memory and hand-eye coordination improving. This is far and away her favorite game. Another version with, say, planes cars trucks tractors bulldozers etc might be terrific too.

My five yr old daughter has liked this game since she was three. She still refers to my iPhone as her "Froggy," because this was the first game she loved on my phone, and it always starts with a frog sound. It's always, "daddy, where's froggy?" One improvement, the timer should not start until the first card is selected.
