### 5/5 — Engaging, Wonderful, Switch Accessible

*2013-11-09*

Ease of Use:  This was the second app I had purchased and got my hooked onto Inclusive Tech, honestly.  This is a single switch capable app with a song and two additional counting activities.  Same set up as above.
Visuals: How can you not love the cute little green men?  Clear simple animation accompanied with the words and numbers and a not-complicated background makes it easy to watch.
Auditory: I can never get these songs out of the my head. Neither can the teachers or the students. It is an easy tune to recall with consistent verse and the same lovely british singer.
Engagement Factor: When I see children with the most severe and impaired motor coordination hit that switch over and over to continue the song or count along, I know they are learning, playing and showing others they are as well.
Overall: Overflowing 5 out of 5 Coffee Cups.  Everything about this app I adore, and so do the kids.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2013-04-05*

My son loves this app and so do I!! I hope you make more songs in this same format.  My son has CP and cortical vision impairment and I have been SEARCHING for an app that plays the music for the first verse and then totally stops the music until the child touches the screen (or the switch).  This motivates my child to touch the screen to get more music!  SO many apps continue playing music in the background...only stopping the singing of the new verse.  My child still hears music so he is not motivated to touch the screen.  Why more app developers don't do thing the way five little aliens does I have no idea! Thank you thank you for making this wonderful app!  Oh and the animation and music are wonderful! Colorful and entertaining... Love it!
