User reviews

Could easily be better

Very simplistic and will quickly becoming boring for my TBI adult clients. Please add higher complexity by adding in filler sentence length comprehension and paragraph/short stories. The description of this app is poor and didn't describe what levels it addresses. The app focuses on 1-3 step simple directions with one temporal component and optional background noise. We should be able to chose different levels and let them be presented "randomly." If that function is there I couldn't find it. Definitely not worth $14.99 for such simplicity. If you really want to simulate "Main Street" add options to include general greetings and request real store items. Such as "Please get me a jar of chicken noodle soup" . It's not realistic to ask for "a blue, a white and a yellow bead!"

Not challenging enough

I am a speech pathologist who works with children and adults in outpatient. I was interested in finding another app to use for following directions as well as memory which I find works hand in hand. I find that this app has not provided the levels of challenge that I was expecting and I've rarely used it. It's unfortunate. I love the themes and that it could have been a more functional working memory task. Hopefully, some updates could be added to increase the levels of recall expected for more variety.
