What Makes AniMatch: Animal Matching Game Stand Out
AniMatch is great FUN for kids and adults alike!
"This is a MUST HAVE APP for anyone with an iPhone and YOUNG KIDS… The buttons are BIG and very easy to navigate, the animal sounds are wonderful and the 'little jiggle' the animals do when you succeed at a match had my kids very excited." – Customer Review (US)
"Excellent! (*****) – My 6 year old is always grabbing my iPod to play this… I have to admit I have found myself opening this app and enjoying it myself. A+" – Customer Review (US)
"Kid Perfect (*****) – Lost my Touch to my 3yo over this game" – Customer Review (US)
"Animatch is FANTASTIC!!! (*****) – … a must have app the HOLDS THEIR ATTENTION and develops memorization skills. My 2 1/2 year-old toddler love this one. She can play alone, or we take turns and make it a fun game together. Excellent for distracting them while you finish your dinner and wine at a restaurant!!" – Customer Review (US)
"Very Addictive even for adults! (*****) – I can't stop playing this game since installing it. Love the graphics and animal sounds" – Customer Review (US)
Now with retina display graphics and native iPad support!
AniMatch has reached the #1 Top Paid Kids' app spot in the USA, France, and Germany, and has been a top selling Kids' Game for over two years!
AniMatch was mentioned in the NEW YORK TIMES Travel Section as a great game to have on trips for restless kids! and was featured by Apple in "BEST KIDS' GAMES"
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Kids LOVE AniMatch!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
With its super-cute animal graphics and funny animal sounds, AniMatch is perfect for kids, but loved and played by grown-ups as well, who often get it for their kids and then end up playing it themselves.
AniMatch will keep your kids educationally entertained, all the while developing their concentration, memory, and cognitive skills, and teaching them what sounds animals make. AniMatch will also keep your kids quiet while they play it again, and again, and again…. right when you need that much-needed break in a restaurant, on a plane, or in a car.
While kids can play the game all on their own, it is even more fun when you take turns and play AniMatch with them! And, costing less than a pack of bubble-gum, it will be the best money you've ever spent.
AniMatch was designed to be kid-friendly! There are no complicated menus for kids to get confused by, or multiple options to get lost in. The moment the game loads, kids can start playing it right away – it is so simple and engaging that we have seen even 11-month olds interact with it! And 2 to 6 year olds just can't have enough of AniMatch!
This adorable pairs match concentration game also doubles as an animals sound machine.
FEATURES:
- UNCOVER A NEW ANIMAL WITH EACH PLAY (31 different animals in total, 10 shown in each game)
- Educational and fun animal sounds – each animal will make its sound when flipped
- Develops memory and cognitive skills
- Keeps kids entertained
- High score and best time
- Adorable graphics
- Fun, Fun, Fun!!!!
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This is one of three apps we love for kids! Good for them and no blinking apps to send the kids off the game !! Very few apps like that.
Got this so many years ago, maybe 10? 15? On our first iPhone. And it still works well. Simple, no in-app purchases, just a fun, easy way to keep our toddler occupied.
This is the 2nd memory-match app Ive installed on our Ipad for our Great-Great-Grand son we care for two days every week. We are particular over the Apps we select for Ashton (age 3 3/4 years young). Im simply lovin this. Just installed. Little Man will play with it on Monday. We know he will looooove it! Thank You so very much to the creators. BTW: At 82, Im playing it too, to test (our memory).
The best part about this game is its graphics. They look great! The app is a straightforward game of Concentration, with a timer. All the essentials with no distracting and unnecessary fluff. Fun for all ages.
56-yr old Animatcher! Very hard to beat our own high score but we keep trying. Will sometimes play but dont want sounds, even though they are cute as heck, but would like an option to turn sound off without having to turn phone sound offsometimes we forget to turn it back on. Make an adult version with different cocktails or foods.
It helps us type faster in school we used too type one by one. And helps our brain work hard. Im a third grader. HAVE FUN.
For ALL ages. We love to play all the time and we are 50+ however it is awesome to have when you have children or tweens around to keep them occupied for a while. And on top of that it is rated G and no violence! Its so cute if you have your sound on the animals make there correct noise. LOVE THE GAME.
This game is great! The only reason we rated four stars is because its easy!!! Our first time when we were like 3, we beat it in thirty seconds.
The sound effects are fun. A great spin on the memory game.
Please update for iOS 11 we really love this game.
Our kids still love and so do we. Update.
Update: years later we are still utilizing this game. We're 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 our stretcher. It's been a life saver. We originally got this for our 3 year old and he loves it. However, our husband and we have enjoyed it just as much if not more. We are in competition and we just beat his record time. Cant wait to tell him Im a better animatcher.
Our children have played this for years. They started really getting the hang of the concept around 18 months. Our 4yo plays it a lot too. And we'll even catch our 7yo playing it. It's one of those games we enjoy playing with them, and has been a 'go-to' for years.
Our 2 year old loves this during diaper changes and it doesn't make us feel guilty since we consider it to be mentally stimulating. We play it too, on occasion ;-).
Our kids and we all have fun with this simple, quick game. Good to play if you just need a short break.
This app is exactly what is advertised. It is a matching app. Our daughter has not played it yet, but we know this one will be a big hit. We are pleased that there are no ads or in-app purchases. Money well spent.
Enjoy this app so much! For ourselves and with the kids.
As someone with a visual impairment, we really enjoy this app. It's easy to match, and accessible.
A variety of animal pix and sfx keep it fun.
Nothing less than terrific! Our 10 year old daughter still loves this game and since she was about 5.
We're a speech pathologist and we love using this game with our preschoolers and kindergarten kiddos. They love the animals and the sounds and we get to work on lots of goals like identification, attributes, articulation, same/different, memory…….the list is endless.
This is a well designed app, cute graphics, great sound effects and engaging visual effects. Highly recommended.
Seems to be a great simple game for our toddler.
We just purchased this app! Went by the ratings!!! There is NO sound! Please fix ASAP.
A classic…been using it with kids for years…nothing but fun.
Good game for limited use. There is NO variety to this game. There are NO options to change the number of cards nor the animals being used. It is repetitive with the same number of cards and same animals so it makes it boring after a few times.
Our 4.5 year old loves this game, and doesn't worry about the timer. We highly recommend it.
Our 4 yr old and 20 mo old both enjoy this game.
We know this is a game for kids, but we really enjoy it and the animal sounds are cute.
Our 3rd loves it!! Sounds make it even more exciting.
Our kid loves it! Fun & easy to use.
We really enjoy this matching game and we use it with our husband who has a brain injury. It really helps with memory! Our grandkids love it too.
Our nephew loves this game! He wanted to give it 6 stars … Ha.
Fun for little ones to develop simple memory skills.
As a senior citizen, this type of game helps maintain our memory skills. And combining the sound with the cute pictures enhances the process. For all ages, enjoy.
Our almost 3 year old loves this game. He is especially amused by the animal sounds.
From 4 to 34, everyone in our family enjoys this game.
Both our kids loved this game since they were 6 months old.
Easy to use, fun for all ages. Games are quick and challenging. Took our iPad to our family and everyone took turns playing thru-out the day. Well worth it and a must have. Good Times.
This app is wonderfully designed, fun, educational, and an all around great application. You will love it. Lima Sky makes high quality wonderful games. Try Doodle Jump.
She's been playing it since she was about 4 months old, and we let her play til she wins, no cheating. The sounds used to startle her sometimes, but not anymore. She loves this app.
Fun. Interactive. Well worth $0.99.
Kids love it! Keep going back and back to this app.
Our daughter started playing at 13 months, just pushing the buttons. By 15 months she picks up our 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.
LOVE this game! Our 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!" we love that it has animal sounds as well as pictures since it seems that toddlers learn best with both. Being that our daughter just turned two, we thought this might be tough for her, but it's been a challenge perfect for her. This app obviously contains only animal sounds, but we'd love to see other sounds like ambulances, helicopters, ships, motorcycles.
Perfect for kids and they love the sound effects.
Keeps them amused. Simple to play.
Fun app ; our little one doesn't understand game yet but loves the animal sounds.
Our whole family plays this game. It's an ongoing challenge, albeit light and fun. Get it and you won't have any regrets. We appreciate the feeling that we're doing something to improve our memory. We can't wait to see which animals will join the game next.
We play this game @ work with our therapy kids. They love it.
