### 1/5 — The worst in the world

*2020-03-23*

It doesn’t work and not fun

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2019-06-21*

If you get it right it just says it’s wrong randomly. It’s so frustrating and anoying.

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2019-04-08*

First off we LOVE the hear builder program! The app however is terrible! It marks correct answers wrong and boots you out of an exercise randomly. Also, it doesn't remember your login info. Use on a computer until they address these frustrating issues.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2017-05-10*

I've been using Hearbuilder following directions with students for many years, and I love that it is an iPad app now.

**Developer response:** Make sure to twist the iPad to make the tube move (like a steering wheel).  It can't be moved by touch.

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2014-12-21*

The timeout feature in part 3, Inspection (quantitative and spatial directions) does not work.  The funnel cannot be controlled so no toys can be caught.  A reward that only serves to frustrate is terribly counterproductive.  Please fix!

### 4/5 — EXCELLENT APP...BUT

*2014-07-12*

This is an excellent tool for my child who has autism, the only problem is when you get to play the game after completing the task you can not manually move the tube to catch the toys as they bounce off the trampoline...it kind of "floats" away on it's own. Please fix this issue.

### 3/5 — Good program, wish I could just purchase

*2014-02-04*

I use the CD-ROM version and really like it. I recommend this program for speech therapists. I was excited it had been converted into an app. I would purchase it again, but I won't do the subscription based.  Wish I could just purchase the app the same as the CD-ROM.
