Great app for teaching basic words

What I like about this app is how it includes teaching the word with many different representations then receptive ID then a spinner to label it. Would love to have something similar with categories or adjectives. I can also use this with my Spanish-speaking kiddos as it has several languages.

Could be a lot better

I love the Hamaguchi apps, as do most of my students (I'm a speech therapist). Having their apps on days when a child won't interact with me is a lifesaver (all kids love the iPad!). That said, I'm surprised this app came from a speech therapist. Choosing an object from a field of 5 is impossible for most of my students. Most of them are working on choosing an object from a field of 2 or 3. I desperately wish you could change the number of objects in the field!!!!!!! It would make this app so much more useful. Without this, it makes the app promising but hard to use as it is.

That said, I've managed to use it with a could of kids and they enjoy it. I like how the app gives you choices between real pictures or cartoons. I work primarily with Spanish speaking children so I also love that the app comes in so many languages. If you could run an update on the Following Directions apps so they'd come in Spanish, I'd be your first customer!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your input. As you hopefully know by now, we agreed and made those exact changes to the app! So you can select 2, 3, 4 or 5 objects in a field of choices. This change was made last year but we weren't able to respond to reviews until recently so hopefully you have been using the new version with these changes. Hamaguchi Apps Team

Response from developer

I believe this response was indicating there was no sound. However, the sound does work as long as the mute button is not on. Always check the mute button, hopefully before writing/rating the app!

Fun and Easy to Use

Great app for helping kids (and their parents) learn a lot of basic words in mulitiple languages. And it's fun too!

Great for first words

This is a great app. I particularly like the different variety of images and pictures used to help categorise words. The recording function is easy and smooth, like in other Hamaguchi apps. We also like that it's not too busy or distracting allowing our son to listen and focus on the words. Thank you.

Great for speech and to teach foreign languages

I got this app originally to help with my 2 year old's speech therapy but soon realized that it would be great for my 5 and 7 year olds as well who are learning spanish! I can set up three different users and have each of them working at thier own level. Thank you!

Great app

Easy for small children to use! Love it

Awesome

I think this app is very neat. Great for kids with communication disabilities. Thank you!

Thanks for the great app!

Can't wait to try it with my students.

all around great app

this is just a great learning app i like how it shows not just one but a few diffrent pic of a pc like ball not just one ball all kinds of diffrent ball and diffrent langues love this app

Great for special needs, young and old

This app is a great tool for helping a child with both receptive and expressive language. Wonderful reinforcements for learning for a child or person with apraxia. Great for my son with down syndrome and verbal apraxia. Even though I do not have a baby or toddler, I can see this being a great app for teaching new words. As for an older child, like a couple of mine. They can learn how to say words in a different language. As I said before great reinforcement.

Great App

Thank you.

Very Helpful for toddlers and young children!

This App helps me teach the children that I serve about different forms of the same nouns. It is also great that so many different languages are available!

Awesome..

Love the app... Very useful. Kids I am babysitting are enjoying it as well

Wow! Great App!

This is another fine program from Hamaguchi apps! This is a great way to teach beginning vocabulary. ELL teachers will love it and so do I! Thankyou!

Thank you!

I'll be able to use this when tutoring 'polywog' readers, you know, those just getting their legs under them. :) Being able to save each child's progress is great. Thank you!

Thank you!

Looks great!
