Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

A Lot or a Little?
The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Fingle is a cooperative game in which two people try to drag and hold little squares of one color onto matching targets. Fingers are moving around each other and intertwining in silly ways that are sure to have players laughing or, according to developers, feeling romantic. The notion that the game is a romance starter is essentially in the eye of the beholders. There's really no reason why it can't be just a fun puzzle game for kids or teens, too, with no romantic overtones (the music can be turned off, too, if it's a distraction or just annoying). The game's romance-promoting effects are debatable, but one element of this game is a fact: This is definitely not a one-player game. You really need two people to play, or it's just not fun.

What’s It About?
Find someone to play with and choose the instructions mode first. One player touches and drags one color of squares to square markers of the same color, while the other does the same with different color squares. Then both players hold onto the squares (as squares are still in motion) until the screen turns all white. Most important points: Don't pick up your fingers, and be sure to hold onto the squares for the determined amount of time. There are seven different modes of puzzlers to choose from.
Is It Any Good?
FINGLE is a lot of fun. It's been described as the app version of the old party game Twister, and that's pretty accurate of how the game feels when played. This is a good game for people who don't like to have to think too much in puzzlers to still enjoy the puzzle experience. It is important to stay focused, though. With more than 50 levels total, it's a fun cooperative way for two people to play on the iPad at the same time. The game is billed as a romantic ice-breaker, but there's nothing outrageously overt along those lines that would prevent it from being just good fun for kids, teens, or adults.
