### 5/5 — Go-Togethers App

*2019-04-30*

Great for targeting word associations. Nice that it goes receptive to expressive. My kids enjoy watching their numbers go up on the sticky notes.

### 4/5 — Another Versatile app from Smarty Ears!

*2019-04-30*

Great for keeping data and cueing for other language concept use such as WH questions.

### 4/5 — Targets both expressive and receptive!

*2019-04-11*

Love how each item is introduced deceptively and then immediately follows up on an expressive follow up task. Also of course I love the ability to track data and the ease of taking on the run for speech therapy on the go.

### 3/5 — It's okay but

*2016-07-29*

I still find my default being SuperDuper fun decks and stuff I've made.  It's nice that there is an expressive component but some of the associations were a little abstract for my littler students.  I can work around that, no problem. The loss of stars is because there is no group use for data collection purposes like there is in some many other of Smarty Ears' apps.

### 5/5 — SLP

*2014-04-08*

Great App for a large age range!  I have used it in individual & group sessions. Can be used to address many language goals.  Love that the difficulty can be adjusted and the field can be narrowed.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2013-08-24*

Love this app. It does both receptive and expressive skill. My students love to see who gets the most matching items.

### 5/5 — Has expressive component as well!

*2013-03-02*

I really like the fact that this as both receptive ID and expressive abilities!  Lots of great apps to work receptively but not many have an expressive section as well.  Very nice group of objects as well - much more comprehensive than just animals/food/furniture :).  Thanks Smarty Ears!

### 5/5 — Great app for students with autism!

*2013-02-28*

Go-Togethers is a great app for students to practice receptive and expressive semantic association.  The app is fully customizable, with the ability to choose levels, target categories, the number of possible correct answers presented, and the consequence for an incorrect response.  The app also has the ability to generate a report at the conclusion of the activity, to track and monitor student progress.

### 5/5 — Go togethers

*2013-01-06*

I use this with students with speech language imapirments and autism. It is good for expressive and receptive language activities.

### 1/5 — Not what I was hoping for..

*2012-05-29*

Disappointed in the capabilities of this app.  Difficult to navigate. Was looking for an app to target making associations such as "toothbrush-toothpaste" or "sock-shoe"..this app does not provide those types of associations.
