The apps have unfortunately been removed. I don't think they are available again yet. I have yet to look for anything similar. The PC games are still available though. Having used them for a. While now I can suggest a few free alternatives.
Print out a stack of picture cards all the same size. You need them small enough to manage a large quantity on display at once but large enough your child can see them. Ours were 3 inches square but I am not suggesting that is the right size for you. Anyway once you have a large stack select any 5-10 cards and lay then out one by one while making up the funniest most rediculous story's you can think of. Then collect them all up in order and ask your child to recal the story as you produce the pictures. They should have no trouble doing the first 5 at all. Within a few weeks of playing this my kids were making up stories for themselves and each other and doing 100 plus cards at a time. Usually they got bored of the game before they hit the limit of their potential.
The eye training didint help. Well maybe we didn't do enough of it (probably that is the truth of it) but he still had/has tracking problems even now that he can read chapter books. We got him glasses.
The girls learnt peg memory but don't use it. They prefer a system where by they imagine their house and add items to their imaginary house room by room, as they walk through it (in their imagination) they can recal items based on them being in that room. I hope that made some sense. So for the shopping list they might imagine spilt milk on the front door mat, tomatoes to roll down the hallway, washing powder all over the carpet in the lounge room, and the phone covered in masking tape for a phone card etc.
it's all been a lot of fun for them and they have excellent memories. They can rememebr a three stanza poem in less than 10 minutes and can recall it weeks later.
