Bo's Matching Game

This app is great for matching and memory. There are two different matching games to choose from from the home screen, one will take you to 8 different choices for matching, such as household items, transportation vehicles, numbers, foods, animals, colors, everyday items, and shapes. This first game gives you options of how many items you want to match at a time, 6 items, 12 items, or 20 items, so you can increase as you gain skills in matching items from memory. Also, while you are matching the items, the game is keeping count of how many incorrect choices you made during the game to match all of the items correctly. The other game will take you to Lulu or Tommie where you will scroll and drag items from either side of the character and place matching items in the boxes.

My 3 year old was so excited to see another Bo app on our ipad. He loved playing all of the matching games. I love that he is learning something and having fun at the same time. The colors and music are great. Children are given the opportunity to make their own choices with in the app as to how many squares they would like in the matching section or if they want to be the boy or the girl.

Bo's Matching Game is a good memory game that has the potential to be great. The vibrant colors and pleasant music are sure to capture the attention of young learners, however, the content falls flat. The cartoonish images do not give the learner a realistic view of various presented images. The vocabulary voice-over is good and should continue to be used throughout the app.

What I like about Bo’s Matching Game is that it has an extremely cute start up. The song that is playing when you are on the board deciding where you want to play in is wonderful. I love that it matches the theme of the game to match and find two of a kind. I like that you can match on boards of six, twelve or twenty depending on the child’s skill level. I also like the voice that is telling the child what each item it; it is a nice feature of this app.I also like that you have a choice between two different ways to match items and play. Overall, I think that the game is nicely put together, well thought out and adjusted for children of various ages and skill levels. Children did enjoy playing the game and loved the music, so that does mean a lot. It did not hold their interest as long as other games though. I think it needs a bit more work before it would be the best matching game on the market but it has a great amount of potential. I can't wait to see some future updates.

This app contains two matching games. Both are simplistic in nature; match two items in one of the games and in the other, a classic flip the card memory game. Gorgeous illustrations and color which will appeal to kids, but the games lack originality. Bottom line, I would not purchase this app for $1.99.
