Love this App!

The price was the only thing holding my back from getting this app, but as soon as I got over the price ordeal. It’s such a great buy. I use it to work with my students and they love it. The fact that you can take picture of the person its great too .

Awesome!

Good to use for teaching at a group setting or individual level

Not impressed

I purchased this app to use at school with my student. Unfortunately I have been unable to use it. Since the editing is done right on the page my student can make changes without permission. Also the app talks over itself when moving the pictures. I suggest restricting access to the pictures until it's time to move them. Lastly the pictures do not reset within the individual circles. As of now I can't use it and feel it's a waste of money.

Super App

I Love this App! My students love it too! The perfect companion to the "Circles" program. Super user friendly. Many of my kids can make their own graphs. Great for teaching kids to be safe, and learn appropriate social boundaries.
Great tech support too!

Loved it!

I bought this app originally for my two nieces to teach them social skills. This app is better than I could have imagined!! It teaches about such important issues in such an easy to understand and interactive way. I would really hope that every young child is able to learn social skills from this program. Thank you!!
