It is Fun!
We got this for our grandson who I babysit often, and is in need of extra help with his listening, speech etc. Wow- he really enjoys this “game” and is learning to pay attention to the instructions and see the correct results. Bright colors, nice sounds and clear wording make it enjoyable for him (yet it serves the purpose and I can see improvement already with him). Lots of scenarios and levels, not boring for him. Or me.

Thanks so much for your kind review. We are glad you are enjoying the app! If you ever have any issues with it, please shoot us an email at info@hamaguchiapps.com
Too vague
I like this app, BUT you request need to require a more specific response. Right now, color, erase and give all require simply dragging the crayon / pencil / item to a location. I had expected erase and color to require scrubbing the crayon or pencil, but they do not. It doesn’t even require the child to know the difference between a crayon and eraser! Close, open, push and touch all respond as correct for simply touching the item. No swiping involved. Please update and require a more specific response to count as correct. As a speech therapist, I want to know if the child actually knows these words and not just to tap on a picture.

Thank you for your suggestions. When we update the app, we'll see if we can incorporate some of these changes.
Fantastic
I love this app!!! I like the "repeat" feature as well as some of my students need repetition.

Glad you like the app! Enjoy!
No sound!
I downloaded this app and there is no sound! Very disappointed. How can this be fixed??
Parent
There is no sound
Need to fix bug
I also really like the app; however to pay $15 and have bugs is unacceptable. I am obviously not the only one have trouble with the previous graphics staying on the page causing my students to be unable to follow the directions...very frustrating. I have attempted to send an email, but it bounced back. Hope they get this and fix the bugs!

Dear luluredru, Apple is now allowing developers to respond to reviews so even though this is nearly three years old, we are curious what you didn't like (specifically) about the app and what surprised you about it. We have a YouTube video that demonstrates what it is, and very specific descriptions on our website. Can you explain more specifically what you thought it was going to be and what disappointed you? Thanks, Justin @ Hamaguchi Apps
Good practice
I like this app and so do the kids. For the SLP I would recommend taking your own data and not relying on the app's data tracking as it only tracks data for one concept of a multi-step direction.
Must have for SLPS
This app is fantastic for working on following directions with multiple modifiers and prepositions. My students love using this app. They think it's a "fun" app, not a "work" app. The app has 3 levels: easy, intermediate and advanced. You can work on all of the included concepts or customize the concepts for each student. You can create groups with each student working on different concepts or levels. The app can record data on a student's performance for each concept per session. Data can be printed or emailed. There are no ads or in app purchases. There's a big difference in difficulty between the intermediate and advanced levels. I would love to see a level between the two. I'd recommend this app for speech therapists and for parents of preschoolers who need help with complex directions and directions that include prepositions.

Dear El Slp, Even though it has been nearly 4 years since you posted this, we developers are now allowed to respond to reviews, yay! We wanted to thank you for your review and your suggestions. Justin @ Hamaguchi Apps
Nice app
Nice app for assessing the ability to process and follow direction. One is given a direction to follow, and options to carry out that directive are illustrated. The user then selects from a varied field of options. The layout is simplified without clutter, so the listener can tune into what is expected of them. There are options to customize or change the way directions are given - verbal or text. As the listener gains in experience, the questions become more complex. I would love to see an adaptation to this already fine app to be able to change the background color from white to say light yellow or green so that the glare of the white back-lit background does not tire the user's eyes as much. The "Superstar" Direction is cute, and reinforcing as the user gets a chance to proclaim what they just did. I would recommend this app for home and clinic use.

Crashing
Love the app for my younger speech kids, but today it was crashing when I tried to add new groups. Is there a limit to the number of groups allowed? I have several iPads, and the program crashed on two different ones tried.
good job
Great following directions app. Lots of directons to choose from. I like the different levels as well. Great job on the update.
Following directions
Great job. I like the different customization tools and wide variety of concepts to work on. I love having the option to automatically advance or manually do it and I like having the option for text or none. Also, I like the superstar directions and the different options for how many times you get them. The new tap and touch option is great. You really listened to the reviews and you've made an awesome app even better. Again, Great job!

Great App for Kids With Speech Issues!
I am in LOVE with this App! First of all, it is kid-friendly, and my son enjoys it, which makes everyone's life easier. Plus, it is so customizable to the child or student's needs, depending on the setting, and if you are an SLP, it is set up for data tracking for multiple users! The app's design males it seem like a game to kids, which is highly effective. In the easy setting, it teaches very basic direction, and the you got from there! Anyone with a child with or student with receptive language delays, should check this app out!

Well done!
Yay! You added data tracking and group play. Love it! This is one of my very favorite apps. Love how I can use it with a variety of cognitive levels. Also like the new automatic advance feature and the ability to do "touch and tap"--definitely a plus for my little ones who have a hard time with touch and drag. Great job on these improvements!

Love this
I would have given this 5 stars but the screen doesn't flip and the volume control is on the bottom.
Great App!
This is a great app that helps with listening skills. I like that you can also use it for reading if you turn the voice off. My daughter loves this app as well, but she is a bit young to read just yet so she uses it with the voice. I like the varying levels so I can pick a level that is just right for my students at work as well.

HUGE HIT!!!
My daughter LOVES this app!!! The directions are very clear, the pictures are bright and uncluttered for a visually impaired child and the speech option can be turned on or off!! Another excellent app from Hamaguchi Apps!!!
Great app!
I love this app! It is a wonderful tool for teaching users of all ages how to follow all levels of direction. The sound effects are encouraging for young users too. I think thing I would like to see added is a method of scoring correct answers. I really look forward to letting my son play with this app!
