images are reversed

on my Emergency scale, when you first open the app, the green "level one" image actually shows the level two face, where the drawing shows a slightly nervous person. Then the blue "level two" image shows the happy smiling face, which should be level one. Would love to see this corrected so I can use it as a resource with my kiddos.

Edit Audio doesn’t work

I downloaded this for my ASD daughter as we are using 1-5 but she wants to do it visually sometimes. However being English I want to edit the sound. I press record and that’s fine but stop won’t work! I’m on latest iOS so maybe it needs an update? For now I’m removing it but will check back soon.

OT's with apps

Thank you for continuing to offer this simple but effective app. I frequently recommend and use it!

Suggestion

This would be even better if it would track which number/feeling the child reported each time. This could become a great data tool for emotional regulation.
