Description
"Parents wanting a rich and fun experience with their children should try A Family Matters, especially when traveling! It is not a video game - just good family fun."
Selected for Apple's What's Hot list for two weeks straight and reached #2 app in Travel.
"Your app was a lifesaver this weekend. My mother brought me and the kids
to some play. We got there an hour early and they wouldn't seat us until 20 minutes before. The four of us had a ball playing Family Matters."
FUN, BETTER QUALITY FAMILY COMMUNICATION
- Look forward to waiting for your food in a restaurant with your kids.
- Calm and distract a nervous child in the doctor's office or when flying.
- Bond and feel closer to your children.
"It’s a fantastic idea and a great way to use the iPhone as a positive tool for families. " -- The iPhone Mom
Anywhere, anytime but always having fun...
We built this application to help us parent more effectively. We were tired of family dinners where the conversation consisted of "How was your day?"... "fine".
This is not a video game designed to keep kids busy. It is a tool to help you communicate more effectively with your children. If you enjoy this please leave us a review! 5-star ratings motivate us to work on even more modules.
What A Family Matters(tm) gives you is a set of questions and conversation starting activities designed to help you communicate more effectively with your children. We found it leads to more and deeper conversations with our kids and we think it could do the same for you.
Some of the questions and activities are simple - these help children build confidence. Some are deeper and probing. There are close to a thousand questions and activities designed to engage all family members of all ages.
Unlike other applications that quiz or provide facts, this tool is venue-driven. This means the activities are geared toward your location. We currently cover common places you may engage in conversation or need to pass the time such as restaurants, Dr. waiting rooms, airports and planes or on long road trips. Of course there is a general category for use around the dinner table or practically anywhere you have a few minutes to spend together.
Future planned venues include school, waiting in lines (parents, how many times do you have to deal with this one?), and more.

fun stuff
Fun & easy to use. It's nice to have one app like this to handle kids.
GREAT FAMILY APP!!!!
I really loved this app!!!! We used it out to dinner last night and it was so much fun with our 5 year old! Usually at the dinner table he wants to watch my IPOD TV shows and not talk much-so this was a great way to engage him in a family conversation and have some fun! I cannot wait to see what you do next!!! Thanks for thinking of the "FAMILY" when you built this-good job!!!!
