Starts well but…..

I bought this app because the trial version (Levels 1-3) are graduated in difficulty and are so helpful for kids with language disorder. However, once I purchased the full version I discovered that Level 5 reverts to the same difficulty level as Level 1. This is such a shame as this app has so much potential. I am gutted that I paid for it as it does not do what it promised.

Much too simple

For a two-sentence writing passage, several questions are asked, but all the questions have the same two choices for answers, and the same choice is the correct answer for every question. Minimal reading comprehension is required to choose the right answer.

Confusing

We are using during summer to strengthen writing skills. But I totally disagree with a lot of these answers. There will be one sentence shown. The answers that show as correct are not included in the sentence. They are included in the longer passage at the top. This happens often and I consider your answers incorrect. How can I use this as a learning tool when I disagree?

Great app!

I’m a speech language pathologist, and I’ve often used this app to help reinforce and practice the concept of Main Idea with my students. They especially love to earn all 3 stars!

Tricky

So many gotcha moments in this. I have this for my students, and even I can't get through a level without mistakes. Did the text mention bacon? Well- sort of. It was about bacon and cooking bacon but it didn't say bacon in the excerpt. Several students have felt very disheartened by this game. Some of the other apps by this maker are more clear, but there are many glitches. Petty expensive for an app still in beta test mode. If an adult can't win, how is a struggling student going to feel with a whole row of xxxxxxx ? I'm a tad frustrated

I loved this app until I upgraded

I loved this app so much that I wanted to upgrade to unlock all the levels but when I did it crashed. Now it's not working at allπŸ˜•.

Awesome app!

The reason why I got this app was because I saw a friend playing it, and it looked fun. This app is good for learning main idea. One thing that was annoying with this app was it had super slow loading time. I would recommend this app to anyone who is open to the learning experience.

This app is ok and needs a lot of work and has a lot of issues

I downloaded this app thinking it would be a great app. I was proven wrong when I started using the app. I don't really like a thing about the app. I can give a lot of things that I dislike about this app. First, the text answer are always the same. No matter the answer is the same. Also, the texts should be a bit longer and harder. I would change how long the texts are and how hard they are. In my opinion this all needs a lot of work before I can give it more than one star.

Wrong answers

It counts a few correct answers as wrong nearly every set. Very frustrating!

Excellent and fun

I am an avid reader and wished we had this as a kid. A must for every parent! Worth every penny!
