  • Not working

    App keeps crashing, and won’t let me restart. won’t let me into teacher console

    I think the reinforcement and real images are great! However, I think some of the items are too difficult for children with special needs. I would really love it if I could go in and edit the items in each level. For example, my kids will never need to know what a "screw" is so I would love to omit that one and maybe add more functional vocabulary relevant to their needs. Just a suggestion :)

  • Not good.

    If a student misses an item multiple times it moves on and doesn't go back to remedy or drill/practice that unlearned item. It does not perform mixed drills either but rather just asks to touch an item it randomized, so in other words, it assesses and doesn't really effectively teach. Do not purchase.

  • Pretty good...

    This app is very similar to the receptive language testing I have seen, in that there are images presented and the user has to select the one described. Pros are that the images are pleasant, the reinforcement is good, and the teacher console is really great. Some of the questions are a bit odd, ie "which doesn't have legs?" with choices of a skirt, cup, and hat. One other reviewer had a similar comment. Generally, the questions are good and get more difficult as you move from labeling to categorizing, etc. I think the price is a bit high vs other apps for parents for home use, but it would certainly get its value for use with teachers or therapists using with multiple kids.

    Enhancement idea: One thing that would be great would be to be able to exclude certain images from the tokens for kids who have problems with particular images. My son, for example, didn't like the bear and wanted to quit the game every time it came up in random token mode. We could have selected only one token to use, but it would be better to just be able to exclude one or more tokens.

  • Excellent

    Great value, adapts well and stays fresh every time.
  • Suggested improvement

    My son with autism LOVES this app. However, we were both confused about questions on level 6 that ask to select images with a head or neck which displays a hammer, hoe, and an animal. The animal choice is wrong, but misleading. Keep up the good work!
  • Great Educational App!!

    I love using this App for my students! I haven't had any issuE with it on the iPad 2 - it works just fine. The visuals are excellent and my students love the motivational rewards! Great Educational App!
  • Could be 5 stars, if bugs are fixed!

    I am an SLP and loved this app initially, however, now after only a few uses, it crashes in the middle of a session. This happens every time I use it. Don't waste your money unless this is resolved.

    I think this app shows a lot of promise, but needs a bit more work, it would be much better if the teacher could select which targets to to presented to the student at each level as some targets will be more familiar to the student than others, ie dog leash, if you don't have a dog, hot dogs, subway trains, iPod players, at the moment the objects are just presented randomly. I like the report card feature, hope this helps and I hope the developer can add some more features to this app.
