imgUS States (iPhone)

Learn the names, capitals and shapes of US States in this memory matching game which is part of our Match'Em Up History & Geography series.

Each game consists of 4 rounds. In round 1 you match the state shapes and learn the names and capitals. In round 2 you match the shapes to the names of the states. In round 3 you match the shapes to the names of the capitals. The final round is all words as you match the names of states to the capitals.

imgEasy Level

This game will seem hard at first even on the Easy level. Each game randomly uses different states, but will use the same states through all 4 rounds. The Easy has you matching 8 states per round.

Don't worry! The more you play the quicker you will get. You can also set it to just match states and capitals in word only mode and there are 3 levels of difficulty presenting more states per round.

imgMedium Level

In the Medium level you get to find and match 12 pairs of US state information. This game is not only a great game for a road trip, but kind of gets you in the mood to take one by the time you are done.

imgMain Screen

We lay out all of our iPhone apps with a main screen starting point. Use the Options to change music, sound, level and mode settings. The About screen will show you credits for the various people involved in creation of the application. Explore lets you get started and have a great time.

What better way to learn about the country than with nice country music playing while we play. Olive Musique produced these warm and friendly songs. Combined with our match/no match sounds it makes for a memorable experience.

imgMatch Found

When a match is made the state shape, state name and capital are shown. I got in the habit of pronouncing the capital and then state during gameplay to help in memorization. You can use whatever technique that works for you.

Alpha Botem supports Upper/Lower, Upper/Upper and Lower/Lower match types. Levels can have the player matching 8, 12 or 18 letter pairs at the same time.

imgHard Level

Matching 18 pairs of state shapes is not for the feint of heart. The Hard level will be for some a source of frustration but for most a delightful fright!

In the screenshot showing you can see round 4 where you will be matching state names against state capitals.

I just bought this for my iPad and it crashes every time I try to play anything. It did let me go to the page with all the state 'cards' and I could go to wikipedia or the state links but no can't get back to the main menu. It just stays on the state card page.

I just bought this app for my iPad to help my son study. First time we used it, it has gotten stuck on the state card page and will not let us return to the main menu.
