Exploring Braille with Madilyn and Ruff User Reviews

Loud

The app scared my child becuase when he got the answer wrong it’s so loud and shows you braille but it’s so loud and obnoxious when you get one wrong it has like a extremely loud horn not recommended for autism children who have sensory issues with sentivtiy to nose

Needs work - not worth $2 right now

Slow. Settings don't work and if you go into them there's no way to get out without shutting down the app. Boring and I'm an adult. I can't imagine it would hold kids' attention for long. Contractions would be nice too. If it worked and had that I'd pay more for it.

Great App for Students and Families!

We have used this app extensively at home and at home to reinforce braille with my son. It has helped considerably with him learning his refreshable braille display and that he needs to use uniform presure when he writes on it. The rest of our family has used the iPad app without the braille display to learn the braille alphabet to help and support him. Thank you for this great tool!

Almost there

I wish this app had an option that allows the student to choose the correct answer from just looking at the Braille (instead of also seeing the print letter). This would allow students with low vision who already know print letters to practice just the Braille skills. Hope this option will show up in the next upgrade.

Nice idea, but...

I want to like this, but I find three major faults. It says what dots represent each letter, but it doesn't explain what the dot numbers are. For reading, it has the child pick a letter and gives both the print and braille version, which doesn't really tell whether the child knows braille. For writing letters, it uses the regular qwerty keyboard rather than the six-key braille keyboard.
