I think there should be more feedback to show the kids when their answer is incorrect. A wrong buzzer sound draws their attention to a mistake more than just simply not allowing them to choose in correctly. My students respond more when they are shown they are incorrect and then given the chance to correct their answer. That instant feedback is an integral part of my therapy strategies. Thank you for such a comprehensive view of these concepts. I think that I will definitively be incorporating it into my therapy to help my students. I also loved the objects that can be manipulated. Being able to demonstrate instead of just choosing from a field is a great way to show complete understanding of a concept. Maybe offer different levels??? :) ### 4/5 — GiGi SLP *2016-12-13, version 1.0* I like this. It could use some of the tweaks others have mentioned, but overall I like it. I don't mind the sheep pictures, with the exception of "going around the fence." That is confusing. A rope around a stick might work better. ### 4/5 — Great! *2016-12-13, version 1.0* Perfect for my kindergartener!! ### 4/5 — this will be helpful in assessments. *2016-12-13, version 1.0* I really like this app. Please make it score the assessment rather than allowing the child always to get the correct answer just by continuing to hit different objects. right now it will work great with the teacher sitting alongside to monitor, but it would be even better if the child could do it alone and the teacher could see the results. definitely another winner for Alligator Apps. Nice graphics and a wide variety in the assessment. thank you! ### 4/5 — Great resource *2016-12-13, version 1.0* Excellent tool/resource in assessing basic knowledge in your young schoolchild. The categories are broken up very well although some of the graphics could be interpreted differently / can be confusing (hence the 4 stars). Overall really well constructed and useful! ### 4/5 — sup *2016-11-30, version 1.0* This is a good app. Positive aspects include nice graphics, a variety of concepts by category, the "parental gate," and some interactive features (like move the balls to the left). It would be greatly improved by: adding data feature; allowing user to choose which concepts (so the user does not need to complete concepts that are already mastered); option to swipe to next one. Some confusing concepts: sheep around the fence does not look like "around"; baby with ball in front vs baby with rattle in front should say touch "toy" in front if teaching concept of "front"; Move ball above line worked when I put ball on the line; bugs were called "animals", etc. Great start to a useful app. ### 4/5 — Great idea! *2016-11-30, version 1.0* This is a great idea, and so helpful to have the concepts separated into categories. I agree with other reviewers who would love to see it take data. I understand not having feedback offered for wrong answers in an assessment, but my student quickly learned to click all the pictures until she got a right answer. Also, I would love to have it set so that the student can't answer until the verbal cue is given. This is still very helpful, and I'm sure it will keep getting better. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2016-11-28, version 1.0* Younger students love to work I this app. The positive feedback is perfect for kids that are reluctant to try because they don't want to be wrong. The directions are clear and easy to follow. My students who are older but still struggling are finding success. Thank you ### 4/5 — SLP *2016-11-28, version 1.0* Awesome app for teaching linguistic concepts! Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-11-27, version 1.0* Can't wait to try this out! The lady providing reinforcement is a bit irritating & calling it an assessment is rather deceiving. But I really like the variety of concepts, pics & the verbal prompts which vary, to keep the child's interest & require them to process more information. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Right Answers *2022-01-26, version 1.0* This app would be great if when a child picked the wrong answers that it would say wrong and not “right answer”. That is deceiving. ### 3/5 — Great idea *2017-01-08, version 1.0* Love that you have started this now......please please add more than the limited number of trials per concept. Kids generally need many trials and several different opportunities before grasping the concept. Please add more and I would gladly purchase. ### 3/5 — Need to fix 3 things *2016-12-13, version 1.0* Concepts are good. -Need to have data that can be printed. -need control over moving to next item - there's no repeat button! Thank you for considering some changes. ### 3/5 — Assessment or Teaching tool? *2016-12-13, version 1.0* I loved the program as a teaching tool. As an assessment tool, not so much. No data collection. The program allows the user to choose until the correct response is given. It's simply searching for the correct answer. An assessment program provides data. This program has the potential to be awesome; just add data collection and remove the check marks when the correct answer is given. ### 3/5 — The app is very simple but I love it! *2016-12-13, version 1.0* I would like to have mor concepts, and keep data. ### 3/5 — Good start *2016-11-24, version 1.0* I like the variety of concepts this app targets. However, I wish the narration is consistent instead of having two voices. The male voice was recorded in an echoey room and some of the instructions were hard to hear. ### 4/5 — App *2022-02-28, version 1.0* This app would be awesome if it tracked data ### 4/5 — Great *2016-12-19, version 1.0* Apps is great! My dilemma with the app are two minor things. 1. change the variation of the feedback given : how many times can a child hear the same "Good Job!" 2. When a child choose the wrong choice there is no beep or anything, when he does choose the correct one he gets a good job. Other than that I think app is great! ### 4/5 — Nice app *2016-12-18* I liked this app. It is simple to use and the pictures are appealing. I only gave it four stars because it is American and so some of the vocabulary is not applicable for the caseload I work with. ### 4/5 — Basic concepts *2016-12-15, version 1.0* Great way to do a quick assessment of a variety of concepts. Like that the response task changes a bit for the child for some of the items. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2019-11-11, version 1.0* This app works perfectly for my non-verbal son. Just the right combination he needs to be able to learn. ### 5/5 — Great for Speech/Language *2017-01-16, version 1.0* I shared this with our SLP and she said that it is really helpful when working with her students. ### 5/5 — Great for teaching. *2017-01-13, version 1.0* Love this app for any child but using it and loving it with my child with Down syndrome. ### 5/5 — Teaching Grandma *2016-12-19, version 1.0* Thanks for providing so many assessments in one app! ### 5/5 — Great Assessment Tool *2016-12-13, version 1.0* This is a great tool for assessing your K-1 students. I sit with them and can easily find any holes in knowledge and they enjoy using the app. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-12-13, version 1.0* This is a great app - a quick, easy thorough way to assess basic concept knowledge in kids. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-12-13, version 1.0* As always, another great app. Looking for ideas for another one? Use shapes to build a person...for beginners who are just learning how to build a face or stick person...learning body parts, front/back ### 5/5 — Great for special needs *2016-12-13, version 1.0* I do believe this app is great for all kids but I especially find it fabulous for my autistic son. It is extremely efficient for special needs children. This is exactly what I need for him. He loves playing with it too. ### 5/5 — Alligator App *2016-12-13, version 1.0* I've come to expect high quality from Alligator Apps and am never disappointed. Graphics are clear and concepts are divided well. I read other reviews and agree some data collection would be great but that doesn't change my rating. (I know how to collect data.) ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy *2016-12-03, version 1.0* Awesome to quickly assess child's comprehension of a variety of concepts - students enjoy the activities. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
