It is great for those students who struggle with social skills. I also think it will be great for the building of vocabulary! ### 5/5 — For older and mature teens *2013-01-17, version 1.1* I want to start by saying this is a wonderful app for helping a teen with social situations and proper conversations. Throw in some moral lessons as well. A+. I originally got this to use with my 13 yo but she is not quite mature enough for many of the conversations, even with the parental controls. This will be an app for in a couple of years for sure. The parental controls are great and a big plus for me. One of the things that I thought was a nice touch was that you or your teen could record their own responses in the conversation and then play back the whole conversation at the end, so you can hear the whole flow. You can set it up for more than 1 person to track and you can track progress as well. As an adult I even got something out of the app in helping me to be more aware of conversations that I have with others. Nice! Highly recommended! But I do recommend you got through some of the conversations before a young teen does. ### 5/5 — A great app! *2013-01-17, version 1.1* This app is really great for children who struggle with starting and responding in a conversation. It gives a wide variety of situations, the ability to practice and hear your response and conversation played back and can be saved. It also has parental control options. I like that the situations can be one-on-one or a group. There were a few responses that required sarcasm that I'm not sure I would have chosen but I think that goes to developing a wide range of situations as well as the age group. Worked flawlessly. I know we will be revisiting many of the conversations to see if their responses have changed/improved. Very exciting! ### 5/5 — Great Teen App *2013-01-17, version 1.1* Great teen app to help with building conversations. App will allow parental control so you can lock certain topics. This app also gives you control on the conversation type (2 to 3. Or group) and the app also will read the conservation and choices for those who need it. I love choices and this app give you that control. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-01-17, version 1.1* This app is great for teens who have problems with social skills. It gives real life situations tht the child will have to deal with. Parental control if you don't want your child to be exposed to. Lots of options and even if they get it wrong, it helps steer them to a better choice. You can record your voice and hear back the conversation. Excellent tool for all of those with social problems. ### 5/5 — Another great apps *2013-01-16, version 1.1* This app is designed to help teenaged children learn how to have multi-exchange conversations with peers in a variety of social settings. This is a good app for students to learn appropriate social interactions. Mobile Education has produced another great app. This app is very useful for students on the autism spectrum. ### 5/5 — Great way to converse with teens *2013-01-14, version 1.1* Great app with real life experiences. I like that there are situations that are uncomfortable to talk about, it is great practice in the right ways to respond. There are a lot of wonerful examples and topics. ### 5/5 — Wow! Another winner! *2013-01-14, version 1.1* This app, like others from this developer, features a wide range of situations to help your student or child learn how to appropriately respond in social situations. The developer is quick to offer support and answer questions. Worth the price! ### 5/5 — Great and age appropriate! *2013-01-14, version 1.1* Once again, Conversation Builder has created a wonderful app. The topics used in this app are specific to teenagers, such as bullying, sex, and other high school issues. There is an option to turn off topics such as sex and drugs. The app offers the user an opportunity to start conversations with a "friend" based on a picture and what appears to be going on in the picture. After each statement made by your "friend", four options appear in which only one is the most appropriate to respond with in the specific situation. A recording option is available to make it seem even more real-life. Overall, great app! ### 5/5 — Awesome Builder for confidence! *2013-01-12, version 1.1* This app is unbelievably appropriate for teens with a disAbility!! It covers a wide variety of situations and guides the young person in their interactions with other peers. I like how if the wrong answer is picked, it guides the young person in deciding what they SHOULD say and why! It is wonderful and I think we will be using it for a long time. ### 4/5 — Great app *2013-01-12, version 1.1* This is a great app to help with conversation building. I really like how you can have more than one user. That is a plus for those with multiple children. It is very helpful how if you get it wrong, it tells you why (like...it's not time for a statement about yourself at this time). This really helps teach the order of a conversation. It's also great that you record yourself saying your answer so you can hear yourself having the conversation. One thing I didn't like is that some of the wrong answers are inappropriate sentences. I realize they aren't the correct answers so you aren't trying to say the kids should say these things but, they also shouldn't be reading them and having to decide not to use them. All in all good app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inappropriate/explicit content *2014-11-04, version 1.3* 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. ### 3/5 — Nice tool *2014-03-02, version 1.3* 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. ### 3/5 — Promising App *2013-01-10, version 1.1* This app has some promising characteristics, but I was a bit disappointed with some of the favorable responses. I reviewed it with some of my students, paras and our OT. It was suprising to hear that they felt that certian responses were deemed appropriate. My students responses to many of the "appropiate" responses were; 'If I said that I might get punched out.", "Someone might kick me if I said that to them". Some of the response might lead to our students being set up to get bullied or be deemed inappropriate and cause them to get in trouble in a school setting. I really like the format. I like the ability to have them practice it and have them hear what their own responses sound like. I would hope that the developers consider cleaning up the conversations so that they are socially acceptable and won't lead our students into situations that would be problematic. I receive this copy for review purposed, but if I had paid the full price and then found out that it was not acceptable I would not be a favorable customer. ### 4/5 — Pthor *2014-03-27, version 1.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Good not great *2013-02-22, version 1.1* This app has much potential. I did agree that some of the responses were not really great reponses. The ones they are supposed to choose that is.....are not always what would be appropriate and current in responses. It would be a great feature to be able to change the responses or simply remove the ones that the user felt innappropriate. Overall most were good though and Mobil Education Store is a top notch app provider. ### 4/5 — Practically perfect in every way *2013-01-31, version 1.1* As an SLP specializing in adolescents with social communication disorders, I found this app to be nearly perfect for teaching the give and take of conversations. I especially like the history feature which allows us to analyze the building blocks of conversations. My higher functioning students like duplicating the structure of the conversations with different topics. Suggestion: I would really like to have the ability to slow the speech rate for both the teens depicted and the audio output of the choices. Many students need a slower rate in order to understand and imitate what was said. Please consider in an update. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Excellent *2013-01-18, version 1.1* This app is a great way for teens to practice their conversational skills. I appreciate the parental controls. You can put a password on the app to skip the conversations about sex and drugs. Some of the conversations and responses did not hold up to my recommendations for a teen but I use it to show different options. It opens up conversation topics that are difficult to bring up. ### 4/5 — glad for teen level app *2013-01-18, version 1.1* This app is good for use with teens. I thought that some of the answers were open to varied responses. Overall I think it is a good app for teens. Glad that you can have parental controls. ### 4/5 — Great app *2013-01-17, version 1.1* As usual, Mobile Education Store has put out a great app. It is age appropriate and yet also provides verbal instructions for the kids who may have delayed reading ability. Some of the responses were confusing for me, though, so I hope that these may be beta tested more with typical kids in the future. ### 4/5 — Good App! *2013-01-12, version 1.1* This app is great for expressive and receptive work in learning socially acceptable environments for older kids. It's good that you allow the parental controls; thank you for that. I am not sure I agree with all of the answers being acceptable. Perhaps some of them could be adjusted a little bit to be more socially "true." Over all, I think Mobile Education has done an excellent job again creating a fantastic app, this time for older children! Well done. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — better than child version, love it *2017-02-09, version 1.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2014-12-05, version 1.3* 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!! ### 5/5 — Fabulous for older students *2013-01-27, version 1.1* I love this app for older students! The topics and conversation options are very realistic and applicable. I also like that the conversations go for more than just 2-3 turns. A " must have" for working with teens! ### 5/5 — Great app for teaching teens *2013-01-21* I love how this app has so many customizable options! Parents and educators alike will appreciate this app, which has the ability to have multiple users/profiles. It has various topics to choose from as well as a randomize option. The voices in the app sound like real teens which makes the learning more realistic. Great app! ### 5/5 — Great teaching tool *2013-01-21, version 1.1* This is a great app to help people learn responses to everyday conversations, when responses don't come easy. What a great tool to help kids learn. The app works great and features a wide variety of topics. It also has a great video tutorial to help navigate and learn. ### 5/5 — Conversation Builder Teen *2013-01-20, version 1.1* By Papadiz Nice program, giving multiple choices for response to pattern after. Program worked as anticipated. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2013-01-19, version 1.1* This app is just what I've been looking for with with older students on conversation skill. The developer did a great job in choosing topics relevant to Jr and Sr. High School students. The pictures and auditory are of actual students which makes it more real for participants. ### 5/5 — Great for Teens *2013-01-18, version 1.1* This is an excellent app for working on conversation building and social skills with teenagers. There are a wide range of age appropriate topics to choose from, with parental controls to block more sensitive topics if desired. I love that the app gives feedback when an inappropriate choice is made, and that it can be used to practice conversations with one person or a group. It would be nice if there would be an option for the choices to be automatically saved into a conversation, rather than having the student record it in his/ her own voice. This would allow the app to be used with nonverbal students as well. ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-01-18, version 1.1* I think this one is better than the original in the overall setup. Some of the features of this app that are really neat are the history button which displays the conversation like you see on the iPhone messages, the info button which tells you what each conv. is about, explanations as to why certain responses don't work and the ability to have each choice read to you by an appropriate voice. Some topics should be viewed with caution as they may be inappropriate for some kids. I skipped the conversations about drugs, but I think they are still important topics that can be addressed with the consent of a parent or by a parent. If you have concerns with particular conversation topics then I suggest emailing the developer. He works really hard on these apps and he would probably appreciate appropriate critical feedback. Overall, I really enjoyed using this app as well as the original. ### 5/5 — Great conversation app for Teenagers *2013-01-18, version 1.1* I have gotten to try this app with pre-teens and teens in a life skills class and they really enjoyed it. They struggle to have appropriate conversations with their typical peers at times and I think this app will facilitate good practice for different situations. I particularly liked that it will track users, responses, record response, be used individually and with groups, and allow for a variety of conversation topics. I would like to see a way to create additional conversation topics, but that is something that would be great in a future version. Highly recommend this app! It does exactly what the iTunes description says! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
