Updated app description

User reviews

Inaccurate

My “score” was off by at least 200 words. It estimated 107 and my child says over 300 words. That’s a pretty large margin of error to be of any use

Won’t let me adjust date of birth.

Because it won’t let me adjust the date of birth, it was asking vocabulary questions and calculating the percentage as if my child was a two-year-old instead of 11 months old.

Age issues

App won’t allow me to put my child’s age in; only permits 3 months to choose from; September- December of 2020 or 2021….

Interesting

I wish it gave more information. It gives an interesting snapshot of a kiddos vocabulary.

Why is this app so enormous.

FAQ

How does BabyLex estimate my child's vocabulary?

BabyLex uses a novel research-backed algorithm developed with universities to assess a child's vocabulary within a short test. It provides an estimated number of words your child likely produces and a percentile score compared to other children of the same age and sex.

What age range and languages does BabyLex support?

BabyLex currently supports monolingual toddlers in English from 16 to 30 months, German from 18 to 30 months, and Norwegian from 18 to 36 months of age.

Is BabyLex a clinical evaluation of my child's language development?

No, BabyLex provides an estimate for parents and researchers. It is not a clinical evaluation. For a clinical evaluation, please consult your pediatrician.

Why might my child's score decrease if I test too soon after a previous one?

There is a margin of error for the estimate. Testing too soon after a previous test can result in the score falling within this margin of error, which does not mean your child has forgotten words.

Does BabyLex have ads?

No, BabyLex does not contain advertisements.

What devices is BabyLex available on?

BabyLex is available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices.
