  • I split the problem into two parts in my previous comments:

    • Memory Match games are good for cognitive abilities
    • Screens either are or are not bad for intellectual abilities, depending on the study you choose to believe

    So it all depends on what you believe has a bigger impact even if you’re in the “all screen time is bad” camp. Anyway, I know I’m not gonna convince you and you’re not gonna convince me. It’s not like I never read anything and decided that I’ll base my opinions on my feelings only.

    I’m a firm believer that the problem is with parents not setting healthy boundaries for screen time, not the fact that a screen is showing some pictures.


  • Thanks for the kind words! This app (like pretty much everything open source I ever did) stemmed from needing an app like that but not finding any and every little “Contains ads” in the Play Store listing made me a little sadder that vultures are trying to attack even the most vulnerable.

    The only other good one I found had a different problem, a good old greediness (every theme was a separate app, each unlocked with an in-app purchase, meaning you cannot buy once and use on all family member’s devices, the unlock was $2, but multiply it with 4 apps and 4 devices and it gets quite expensive for such a simple game). I’m fine with that in general, but given I’m a developer, I decided to offer people a better alternative.

    So yeah, I believe in it and I’m glad someone sees it that way.

    Seriously, thanks, I think it’s been quite a while since some online stranger said something so nice to me!
