## What is Auditory Workout?

****I absolutely love this app. It works for so many of my auditory comprehension and auditory processing students! This app has the ability to add background noise with a sliding volume lever!  My students enjoy the basketball reward offered at short intervals which is very motivating. (Jasmine S. SLP)****

### 5/5 — SLP

*2025-09-24*

My students enjoy the app and I enjoy the level of difficulty it has with the directions. I just wish it had even more directions because it’s that good of an app.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-01-24*

So good

### 3/5 — Great but Too Quiet

*2015-05-21, version 2.0*

My students are all students with hearing loss. This is just the type of app that many of them need but it is too quiet. There should be a volume control for the foreground noise rather than, or in addition to, the background noise. If this were fixed I would give it a 5 star rating.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2014-11-28*

I love this app because it allows to to target different concepts for individual students in a group.  I like the levels of complexity, and especially the temporal concepts.  I would like to see multi-steps added.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2014-11-24*

I love this app.  I like all of the concepts embedded in the directions.  Kids love the basketball games reward.

### 4/5 — It Has It All & Is Research Based!

*2014-10-15*

I love that this application works on multiple goals and you can use it with multiple clients at a time with data collection. Sometimes, with all that it features, it can get a bit overwhelming. That can be a blessing or a curse depending on how much time you spend prior to a session setting it up. I always spend a lot of time researching and trialing an application prior to using it with a client, so it gets easier the more you use it. What I love about this application is that it works on following different types of directions and gets progressively more difficult by adding additional concepts. In addition, you can add background noise.

One thing I really like that changed from the last version is that there are now two different reward games that a user can play! I would probably play either game with older or younger students. There are also more settings, but I still am not sure why there is an option to enable/disable audio since this is an auditory-specific application.

### 5/5 — Go To App for Auditory Processing

*2014-09-16*

As an SLP I keep a folder containing Language Processing apps and this is one of my 'Go To' apps for both younger students (one step direction with location concepts) and even upper elementary autistic students. Use it to teach retrieval strategies, e.g.self-repeat key elements in direction, chunking, etc. I like the fact that 'before/after' concepts are placed in different parts of the directions. Definitely recommend this to SLPs.

### 4/5 — SLP

*2014-09-16*

Great app! Very well organized and easy to access. The students love playing basketball as their reward too. It feels like there are infant options for targeting auditory memory with this app.

### 4/5 — Good, could be Great with one improvement

*2014-06-11*

As a Speech Pathologist working with school age children I find this app very useful; however, I need better descriptions of each level in the report section. Most of my students make errors based on the language used in the directions, therefore, I would like to have the vocabulary targeted at each level described in the report section along with their percentage correct. For example, tell me if the level is teaching before/after or above/below/next to. 

I love the app, but it could be even better. Thank you for your consideration!

### 5/5 — slp dodea

*2014-06-03*

I have used this app for a year and a half. I have had the opportunity to use with language students, as well as the autistic, and very special needs population. I have found it to be great with both groups, it really holds their attention, and also they love to see how the performed. I would recommend it to any speech pathologist. Its a must have!
