### 3/5 — Meh.

*2017-07-13*

Not enough examples of each basic concept and magic show reinforcement is terrible. I like most of the virtual speech apps, but can't recommend this one.

### 5/5 — My students love it!

*2014-11-25*

This app gets my students excited because they enjoy guessing what magic trick the magician is going to do and how he did it.  It's a great way to introduce a variety of concepts and keep students motivated.

### 3/5 — SLP

*2014-06-22*

Great fun for my youngest student (K-1). They love the reinforcements! Helpful to be able to pick/choose the targeted concepts to customize for each student.

### 5/5 — SLP DODEA

*2014-06-03*

My little pk and k students love this app, and so do I. I love the level of concepts you can select to individual specific skills for each student. They love the fun magic shows, they are always trying to guess what will come out of the magic hat! A must have app for pediatric therapists.

### 3/5 — Prepositions

*2014-05-27*

This app which targets prepositions in a receptive task with a fun and engaging wast keeps students working towards earning a magic show. I find this app more targeted towards lower elementary school students. I wigs this app also had expressive tasks.

### 5/5 — Great following directions with prepositions

*2013-07-29*

My kids are going to love this! I love that a choice can. To be made until the verbal presentation has been completed.

### 3/5 — Decent app

*2013-03-24*

Pros: 
-Has many concepts with clear picture representations
-Keeps data
-I like how it lets the child work toward "stars," and then a magic show
-One of the best apps for concepts

Cons:
-Some of the pictures are slightly distorted
-The reinforcer of a magic show isn't very interesting for children once they've seen all the "shows." There are only about 5(?h) shows. There should be more variety in the shows. The graphics aren't that great either, although that's not a big deal to the kids.
-I wish there were an option to choose the amount of stars to earn. Some of my first graders could earn 20 stars rather than 6, for instance. 
-I wish there were more representations of the concepts, especially with photographs. 

I'd say SLPs should get it if they're given a $ budget for apps. Otherwise, save your money.  Most kids can do just fine learning concepts with pictures from stories, pictures, and movement.

### 3/5 — Great potential

*2013-02-16*

I love this app for the content. If the concepts were rearranged by type, it would help. Also, the concepts you work on are not saved from session to session. With changes, this would be a 5 star app hands down. The pictures are great. They have a nice time wait so students cannot guess.  I also would like a test mode and practice mode.   I do not regret buying this app.
