User reviews

Has potential

This app has potential but it’s just missing the mark. I wish it included more early language skills and more visual choices. I’d like to see some of the Kinder skills addressed moved into the pre-k screener. I also think the report could be slightly better. It lists our mastered skills at the end, but I wish it also listed area for growth. For the price, the app should just overall be more polished than it is. I think it can really be a great app with some reworking of the material covered and the way it is presented.

Too expensive for what it offers

I am not happy with this app. For $24.99, I think it's should be able to do a lot more. For example, I would like to be able to pick what I screen my students on, but in this app, the full screen is set up and I have not found a way to adapt it (add or take away from what it tests).

Needs more language

I was hoping for more language items overall and less literacy items (such as in the CELF 4 Screener) because I would a screener to determine if a formal language evaluation was needed. (Alphabet, counting, etc...would be more academic and is already covered by beginning of the year classroom teacher testing). I would be looking for more language information when screening.
More items per area would be useful too (possibly 10). Also there is no criterion score comparison to determine how a student did overall when compared to others his/her age.

Terrible! I feel cheated!

This was cumbersome to use and was essentially a paper and pencil assessment with some iPad pictures thrown in. I purchased this with my own money to assist with K screenings. What a waste of money! It gives very little information related to speech and language. Are you listening Smarty Ears? Please do the right thing and either fix this terrible app or refund our money!

Not worth it

This app was definitely not what I expected for the price. Not worth the money
