better than child version, love it
if you've purchased the version for younger kids you should know that this version provides more specific explanations for "incorrect" answers", a big improvement in my book.
I noticed one reviewer complained about explicit content, but perhaps was not aware that adult controls are available to lock the teen out of explicit content. I like the option to use the drug/alcohol/sex related conversations. Teens are exposed to conversations like "i cant believe I cant believe i slept with him" on tv or movies if not in real life. By having this material available it opens the door to discussion about those topics, even if the teen is not exposed to those types of conversations personally. Obviously professionals would seek parent agreement before on explicit content.

Love this app!
This has great and relevant topics for teenagers. This is a helpful tool to teach conversation skills and expand conversations and discussions. I like the multiple choice and ability to record the voices so that they can be sent to others. It's also great for articulation practice!!
Inappropriate/explicit content
I purchased this to use with teens and in one of the scenarios a girl says, "I can't believe I slept with him. " This is very inappropriate and users should be warned that the content is explicit.
Pthor
This app has it all. I use it with teenagers with hearing loss. It allows for auditory comprehension work, has written stimuli to be paired with auditory, allows for speech practice and students' use of taped responses for making judgements and corrections. The pragmatics work is the icing on the cake. For my students, some of the speech is too rapid. I wish I could change the rate of speech in settings but overall it is a fabulous therapy tool.

Nice tool
I like the topics, ability to record conversational turns. I would like more feedback given for incorrect answers--sometimes correct/incorrect are hard to predict & a little more explanation is warranted. Definitely recommend.
