Great features for a lite app!

Love the customizable features and the ability to create 3 users with their own settings. The kids love being able to tell the cat what to do - engaging and educational!

First phrases lite (IPhone)

By: Papadiz

Really good app for early learners. Functioned well on my IPhone. May have been a little smoother than on the IPad.

Fun Way To Learn!

This is a fun way to learn to put words together to learn speaking phrases. The visual cues are helpful and not to "busy." I like being able to repeat the initial phrase more than once. Also good for cognitive work. Recording to hear one's own voice is always an added fun step for kids.

Great Lite version

This is a great lite version, if you try it ... you will see it is worth the upgrade to the full version!! I have a more detailed review in the full version but it is a very helpful app for parents and caregivers alike. Children both with speech struggles and those on ASD will find this helpful as well as typical developing toddlers.
