Educational game that is creative and fun

Why won’t you do a second app?!!! Best app that keeps kids interested while learning. Use this for language therapy as well.

Waste of money

Really disappointed only a few word for 2.99 it s not worth even 10p

It’s my fault

It’s my fault because I just glanced at the description, but this app has ONLY 18 *WORDS*. Period. It is a lovely app for those 18 words, really it is! But did I mention the app has only 18 words? When I glanced at the description somehow my brain thought “18 LISTS of words”. Nope. Like I said, it’s my fault for not reading carefully, and the concept is amazing, but I can’t give more than 2 stars because of the lack of a decent core of words. 😕

Brilliant

All my students love this- we use it to revise verbs when doing Jolly Grammar. Just wish they would develop set 2 and 3........

Great app

Let me start with I have used this app many years and loved it. It introduced many children with ASD to the world of actions.
However with the new and improved version. I am no longer able to open the app . It goes from booting up to blank. I’ve rebooting ot several times. I have the new versión 11. So I give it two stars for the memory of what was. Ps when it works its worth 5 stars.
