Great concept, but Glitches
Invalid user name or password
I tried to set up an account and despite trying several usernames and passwords it kept saying “Invalid username or password”. I included a combination of letters, upper and lower case, numbers, symbols etc. Unfortunately it does not tell me WHY the user name and or password is invalid, making it very hard to work out what to do. I am an O&M Specialist and keen to try this app with my clients. If you can provide support with this issue that would be great.
Bugs Everywhere In The App
Sky Runner is not a completely accessible game, if you think about it. How will I know that the gems are on another lane?
With the Daily Quest Log, there are instances where the quest that I have is for a game that I do not have. When I complete a quest, such as "Collect an old artifact" (Temple Explorer), that quest does not disappear.
Problems
Fun addition to learning!
Way to learn!
For older students, the use of a refreshable Braille display blue-toothed to their device enables them to take quizzes and read short articles. Teachers can emboss questions or short quizzes which are used as overlays calibrated to the screen. OED makes it fun and easy!! Our students, O&M, science and daily living skills teachers all use it.
I give 5 stars because we asked for changes to make the app more accessible for our students and they did it!
Well designed
Excellent teaching tool!!
Having trouble
Response from developer
If you are not hearing sounds this is most likely because “Silent Mode” is enabled on the iPad. On some iPads, this Silent Mode is located and turned on or off using a switch on the side of the iPad. But on others, it can be found in the control center which can be opened by swiping down from the top right of the iPad screen. Silent mode is indicated by a bell, and if that bell is red, it means it is currently active and all sounds are muted, regardless of the volume setting of the iPad. While other apps such as Spotify or Youtube have permission from Apple to bypass the silent mode, Apple specifically does not allow games to do so. So, unfortunately, our app is not able to bypass this Silent Mode, and it must be switched off to hear the sounds. If you are attempting to pause or close one of our games, you can swipe up with three fingers to open the pause menu. We use this gesture in all of our games to provide accessibility for our visually impaired users. If you have any other issues, please reach out to us at support@objectiveed.com, and we would be happy to help you.
NOT ACCESSIBLE

Response from developer
The latest version, 1.5 or newer, released in January 2020, now properly works with VoiceOver, and is now available for both iPad and iPhone. This app is designed for teachers, such as TVIs, Orientation and Mobility specialists, and Assistive Technology specialists, and works with the ObjectiveEd web dashboard. Visit www.objecteiveEd.com for more info, and if you have any problems, please email us at: support@objectiveEd.com
Sad and disappointed
Response from developer
The ObjectiveEd gamified curriculum allows teachers to provide games for students to practice their Braille Literacy, Orientation & Mobility, and Assistive Technology skills between sessions with the teacher, and is usually purchased by a school. The games capture a student's progress in acquiring skills via digital data shown in the ObjectiveEd web dashboard. A demo is available for teachers to evaluate, and is used by many teachers to determine which students on their caseload can benefit from this gamified curriculum.
