What we love…
the variety of activities within the app and the ability for the app to grow with your child.
What we’d love to see…
the ability to customize the app a little bit more to only show games which are appropriate for your child.
Summary
This is a great all-encompassing app which can be used for children from late preschool through early elementary school. I can see this app being used in a home school curriculum or as a supplement for parents who have children in school.
Our Rating
Fun Matchers by CrayoTech is an iPad only app which features a wide variety of educational skills including: matching (colors, shapes, picture-words), counting (2s, 5s and 10s as well as with words), sentence completions, tally counting, roman numerals, synonyms and antonyms, fractions, geography trivia, shape study, clock work, sentence comprehension, solar systems for a total of 45 different games! The app introduces concepts key to early math, early reading, English, logical reasoning and more all in one spot.
I loved all of the variety of activities within this app. My preschooler was drawn in by the variety of games such as the ladybug counting, matching and clock work. The topics covered in the app cover things from shape matching and letter recognition to counting aimed at children aged Kindergarten to early elementary school. Players earn one to three stars for each game based on the number of mistakes they make in the game. Each level has 15 games that must be completed prior to unlocking the games on the next level. I also liked that the app will grow with your child as their skills progress and additional games unlock and get progressively harder.
One suggestion I have for the app is the ability to customize it based on your child’s abilities. It would be really nice to choose games based upon your child’s abilities. For some of the games – I found the counting to be difficult as you added additional spots because they got very small and harder to see.
This is a great all-encompassing app which can be used for children from late preschool through early elementary school. I can see this app being used in a home school curriculum or as a supplement for parents who have children in school.

Ooooo..this looks like a LOT of cute and fun to make what’s hard for my students “easy”! Thanks for sharing!
I am looking to improve speech so the sentence completion would be great. Additionally, my girls can count well so I want to increase the number they can count to as well as getting used to going by 5 and 10.
looks good – like the ladybird game looks like a great way of introducing math sums early
We are working on shapes and letter recognition.
addition would be great here
Counting!
addition and subtraction
Math! All parts of it!
I would love to explore all of this, but the areas of sentence completion, tally counting, roman numerals, synonyms and antonyms, fractions, geography trivia, clock work, sentence comprehension, & solar systems would especially benefit Nichole and the kids we work with most.
all of it, but math right now
