Pictures don’t match the voice. Wish I read the review before I bought it. Thankfully it was only .99 cents. ### 2/5 — Broken, mismatched audio to pics *2023-11-25, version 1.0* This USED to be a good app when I used it many years ago, but now that I have downloaded it to a new iPad, the audio played does NOT match the pictures shown, rendering it completely useless. For example it will say “cooking” but the correct answer in the game you are supposed to pick for that is a boy swimming. Please fix, this was a great app! ### 1/5 — Confusing for early learners and incorrect *2023-07-25, version 1.0* This app would be great if most all the pictures weren’t incorrect and with incorrect audio. I will be requesting a refund as it’s practically non-functional as it is, hardly anything is correct. ### 2/5 — Audio Does Not Match Pictures/Text *2023-07-12, version 1.0* This is a great concept. I love the real photos. I love the different options for learning with the pictures. However, the app will not be as useful to me due to the audio not matching. Please fix so I can leave a better review. Still usable to an extent if audio is off. ### 1/5 — Disappointed! *2023-03-13, version 1.0* Pictures are great but don’t match up to the spoken and printed word! This app would be perfect if it weren’t for that. ### 1/5 — It’s not what expected *2023-01-30, version 1.0* Sound does not match the pictures. It’s not easy to navigate and back to home page. ### 2/5 — Shuts down since iOS upgrade *2023-01-18, version 1.0* This was a good app till they didn’t upgrade when new iOS came out in January 2023 ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2023-01-12, version 1.0* None of the audio matches the pictures, making the app unusable. ### 1/5 — Pictures do not match with the audio *2022-12-13, version 1.0* No good at all. In all the levels and activities the pictures do not match with the audio or the answers. I tried to communicate with them and I was never able to do it. ### 1/5 — Great idea but words don’t match pictures *2022-11-30, version 1.0* I will update review once the problem of words not matching the pictures is fixed. Otherwise it can only be used on mute. ### 2/5 — Maybe if the labels were correct *2022-11-01, version 1.0* The pictures are great but you touch one and it verbalizes the wrong action word every time ### 1/5 — Robbery *2022-10-18, version 1.0* Downloaded the app even though reviews said the voice and video were out of sync (I would have muted it anyway). The app does not open and the links to support do not work. Very frustrated. If the app is obsolete TAKE IT OFF THE APP STORE!!! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever ! *2022-06-11, version 1.0* Don’t get it. The app doesnt work! It gives the wrong word for the wrong pic. ### 1/5 — Dodgy *2022-03-28, version 1.0* Very disappointed. Doesn’t work. Glitchy. ### 2/5 — Not what I expected *2022-01-31, version 1.0* The actions don’t match the the audio prompts at all. So dissatisfied ### 1/5 — Audio doesn’t match pictures….TRASH! *2021-11-03, version 1.0* This app is trash. The audio doesn’t match the pictures. It will be a picture of a lady standing and the audio will say swimming. ### 1/5 — Terrible!! *2021-09-13* The words do not match the pictures. They say drinking & show a picture of brushing. This is a terrible app, do not pay and download!! It’s a scam!! ### 1/5 — Audio and visual don’t match *2021-06-21, version 1.0* The pictures are great, the variety and range of actions are great, but the audio does not match the pictured action. That makes most of the features impossible to use correctly, because it prompts you to find something that doesn’t match. Seems like it should be an easy fix, but it’s been like this for a few years now. ### 1/5 — Audio does not match *2021-06-09, version 1.0* As others have said, the audio does not match the photos. It used to work, but does not anymore. I sent a message to the developer and was told I could get a bundle which included maybe an updated version, but it looked like I would have to pay again, so I did not. Too bad. I liked it while it lasted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-12-14, version 1.0* The pictures don’t match with the action verbs. ### 1/5 — Voice doesn’t match pictures *2025-11-13, version 1.0* Waste of money, is not working properly ### 1/5 — Incorrect auditory cues *2025-07-04, version 1.0* The auditory feature doesn’t match the pictures. Would love to use otherwise! ### 1/5 — Auditory cues don’t match *2025-04-29, version 1.0* The auditory cues for the games do not match the correct answers for trials. For example, auditory prompt “smiling” was presented with two choices, a picture of a girl, smiling, and a picture of a child sleeping. When I selected the picture of the girl, smiling, an ex appeared on the picture. When I selected the other picture of a child sleeping, it said it was correct. Probably a small error in the apps Data or something, but a very fatal flaw that makes this app much less effective. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Does not line up *2025-04-21, version 1.0* The audio says a completely different word than the photos ### 1/5 — Please fix it *2024-11-29, version 1.0* The app used to work on 2017-2018 .

I’m disappointed in you Innovative Investments, you have a history of outstanding learning apps for kids: how could you let this happen? ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-06-16, version 1.0* Very effective for working preschoolers who need to expand verb usage. Love that most flash cards have children as the subject. ### 5/5 — Scam *2018-08-27, version 1.0* It’s the worst app ever, grasshopper apps are very big scam. I doesn’t work , picture is kicking but voice over is brushing for all flash cards and this is not first time even their other app abc games by grasshopper is also same e.g child is ask to find a from given choices but child is not correct until chooses p for a.
