I am so glad that I got it. In fact, I liked it so much that I went and bought the full app. Teaching a child to listen and to follow simple instruction is so important. As adults we take it for granted. There are some children that have trouble with organizing thoughts and instructions. This is wonderful for helping and it is fun also. ### 5/5 — Fun with Directions HD Lites *2012-10-30* By: Papadiz Great app for teaching basic skills for following directions. Works as expected but can be a little " touchy" when it comes to dragging the object. This may pose a challenge to learners with some physical limitations who might make the correct selection but have difficulties with touch and drag. ### 5/5 — Fun *2012-10-27, version 1.2* A very fun directions app and nicely done app. The visuals are nice and the app is very user friendly. Get this lite app or the full version and you will be happy! ### 5/5 — Fun While Learning! *2012-10-23* What a fun way to learn to listen to then follow directions! The little sound effects and behind the door, in the drawers, etc surprises are fun too. I like the manners shown by the critters/people when given objects. The ability to use levels is nice and I love the "clean" pictures without so much clutter. Nice app! ### 5/5 — Great lite app with lots of options! *2012-10-23* Wow, for being a lite version of the app you get a lot for your money! I love the three levels of play as well as the ability to customize many features you wouldn't think possible in a lite app! Thank you Hamaguchi for a quality lite app! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-10-23, version 1.2* What a great!! Love how it teaches to follow directions! ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-10-17, version 1.2* Hamaguchi Apps has done it again. This is a wonderful app for teaching directions. The lite version has 3 difficulties and reinforces the concepts of give and touch. The interface is clean and the graphics are fun. ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2012-10-16* This lite version is well worth the .99 price tag! Clear concise directions, uncluttered backgrounds and engaging pictures help to make this an enjoyable app. It is easily adjustable to three levels. There are superstar directions that the child/student has to listen to, remember, complete then repeat the direction. Recording the student/child repeating the direction allows the child to hear themselves and then they can re-hear the direction so they can tell if they got it correct or not. The full version covers more concepts, but this is a great app to start with. Can track 3 different users in this version. Very versatile for a lite version! ### 5/5 — Bold and Fun *2012-10-15* Great app! Nice bold animation and interesting tasks to complete. Lots of different concepts for your child to complete. Great sound effects along with each page. Gives your child an opportunity to speak and record their voice. Helps teach colors as well. All over bold and fun app to help learn directions. ### 5/5 — Fun with directions! *2012-10-15, version 1.2* Fun way to teach listening skills. Child must focus on what is being said in order to carryout task. Preferences can be set for text, voice commands and superstar directions. Great information with question/answer format for the first time user. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — No sound *2017-10-28* Despite ensuring that sound is selected in the settings, there is NO SOUND. **Developer response:** Please be assured that there IS sound in the app. Apple would not approve this app otherwise. Please check your mute button settings. for older iPads, take a look at this YouTube video to help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBfJmfZt7lE For newer iPads look at this video: https://osxdaily.com/2019/01/31/how-mute-ipad-turn-off-sound/ ### 2/5 — SLP *2013-08-14, version 1.4* Oh no! I just downloaded the lite version to try and there is no sound! Please help, how to fix this? ### 3/5 — Please fix *2016-08-05, version 1.6* I have loved all of your apps for years now but recently all of your apps are no longer playing sound please fix ### 3/5 — Okay. *2014-05-08* While I like the app and the concept, it worries me that one of the directions is "give the dog the chocolate." Chocolate can kill a dog, and I wouldn't want to reinforce in children that it is a good idea ### 4/5 — Worth the .99 *2013-01-14, version 1.2* My youngest two kids love this app. It's very easy for them to pick up and play. I like it because there are some solid skills being taught as well. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2012-11-06, version 1.2* Great pictures and great for teaching directions! ### 4/5 — thank you hamaguchi *2012-10-17* Yet again a wonderful app from hamaguchi! You know how to keep a child's attention even when I can't. The full version gives you more yes but the lite gives you a chance to try with a child and see how they interact with it before buying the full. ### 4/5 — This is 4 stars, full version 5! *2012-10-17, version 1.2* Great app, especially for my son with autism. It is simple yet holds his attention. We have the full version now and it is well worth the upgrade. See my review on the full version! ### 4/5 — Good for following directions *2012-10-17* The lite version only includes 2 concepts, touch and give. The full version has more concepts. The user needs to listen to a direction either touch or give and follow the direction. I like the app but wish that in the levels of difficulty that all choices of items would be grouped together instead of having to scroll to find the correct one. I've this app in my therapy sessions. ### 4/5 — Great app *2012-10-16* This app definitly makes me want to buy the full version. I love how the directions are either very simple or a little more complex and gets you thinking about every step. This app is more than the usual "show me what's under", it really involves more thinking about what is square and what to do with it, (for example). Great app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A really fun and helpful app! *2025-02-26, version 2.1* This was recommended by my grandson’s speech therapist to use at home. He loves it! Doesn’t seem like homework for him- nicely done with enjoyable graphics and sounds but helps him with his many issues. We are going to try the other apps also very soon. Try it for your child- it’s actually fun for them, like a game. He is four yrs.old ### 5/5 — Love this! *2025-02-24* I use the full version as a speech pathologist but my 3 year old grandson loves this lite version too. It only has the 2 concepts but he seems to be learning from it. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind review. We are glad your grandson is enjoying the app. If you ever have any issues with it, please shoot us an email at info@hamaguchiapps.com ### 5/5 — Fun with Directions HD Lite *2013-05-24* Fun With Directions Lite is a wonderful app to help struggling students, or language learners to understand the concepts of Give and touch. With three levels to choose from and the ability to set up for two users as well as track progress Fun with Directions is an app you will want to return to time and time again. The colorful, kid friendly graphics and use of child's voice help engage the user in the requested tasks. Great for use in the classroom or in speech sessions teachers and students will appreciate the simplicity of use and presentation of concepts. ### 5/5 — Fun with directions *2013-05-22* This is the very best app for children aged 3-5 my child loves it. He enjoys speaking the directions and hearing his recorded voice and has increased instructions to remember. I can't recommend it enough, do try it. ### 5/5 — Super *2013-01-17, version 1.2* I really like how this app allows the students the opportunity to work independently on following directions. It is a fun way to back up those verbal promps.. ### 5/5 — Love this whole family of apps! *2012-11-15, version 1.2* This app is engaging for my child and reinforces developmental skills. This is a great lite version of the full app. ### 5/5 — A great app for kids with special needs! *2012-11-11* My 4 year old son with autism loves this app! But when he didn't get the answer right, nothing indicated that to him. I had to tell him to try again. I would like to see some alert for this, like "try again!" or something similar. Otherwise a great learning tool! ### 5/5 — Excellent app focusing on basic directions *2012-11-04, version 1.2* This app focuses on the basic directions of touch and give. App users will love the adorable graphics and clear instructions. Several settings are customizable. Excellent lite version app! ### 5/5 — nice lite version *2012-11-02, version 1.2* this lite version gives you a great preview of what the full app is like. this a wonderful app for teaching and reinforcing listening and following direction skills. It's animated enough to keep attention while not being distracting. good job! ### 5/5 — Nice lite version *2012-11-01* This is a great way to try out a really good app. The lite version gives you ample opportunity to experience this app if you are unsure about purchasing the full version. This is a great app for children who struggle with following directions whether they are just beginning to learn the concept or are needing reinforcement. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
