Family Matters

The Family Matters app contains a variety of entertaining and thought provoking questions and activities that can be used to promote compelling conversations or to just entertain. Topics are tailored for use in different venues such as a restaurant, a doctor’s office and a car/road trip. This app helps to promote more than lively and entertaining discussions within families; the open-ended questions and activities can also help to facilitate creativity, imagination, critical thinking, and a better sense of understanding for all participants. It’s one of the few apps I’ve experienced that’s all inclusive – not just one or two players – and it’s appropriate for young and old alike. Not all of the questions or activities in Family Matters will resonate with every user, and there aren’t a lot of bells and whistles with the interface, but I’m certain most people will find value in what this simple yet brilliant app has to offer.

(As a side note, in December, Weiner Family Studios will be donating half of all proceeds from the sale of Family Matters to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Their goal is to support families who want to spend time with their sick children during the holidays.)
