I am a pediatric speech-language pathologist and I am a big fan of all of the Hamaguchi apps. This app is no exception. It is well designed and I did not experience any technical issues while using it. My young patients enjoy using the app and find it engaging. I love the uncluttered design! It is effective without being overwhelming/distracting.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We're glad you are enjoying the app!

One tiny request

I like app and it fits the specific needs of a few of my students. My only request would be to make it possible to manually move onto the picture choices after the sentence is given instead of automatically moving to the three choices. I would like to have the option to have my student repeat the sentence before moving on to finding the corresponding picture. Like a simple button that says "next" or just an arrow. You follow?? Or even making your own sentences so you can tailor the app even more specific to the student.

Response from developer

Hi AnneMarie. Thanks so much for your feedback. We actually do have a "show choices" in a manual mode for our other apps so we will definitely look at doing that with our next update. In the meantime, you can go into Settings and adjust the "wait time" so you have enough time in between the sentence presentation and the time the user selects the correct choice. In the future, feel free to email us at info@hamaguchiapps.com for any suggestions or issues.

Not great

Speech therapist recommended this. My 3 year old seems to like it and it is good practice for him. But there are problems.
Interface exemplifies buggy, lazy coding.
Non-universal app. (You'd need to buy it separately again for iPhone.)
Pretty limited in content. This is the lite version and should have been a freebie.
Ugly, uninspired UI.
I'd be willing to pay well for a polished version of this.

Dear Mitch177. No sure what issues you are experiencing with it being "buggy" or why you are describing it as having "lazy coding". Can you please send us an email at info@hamaguchiapps.com? We'd be happy to troubleshoot as we have not had reports of crashing with this app and it was updated fall 2016. The content is indeed simple in design on purpose as many of the children who use this app have autism spectrum disorders and need an uncluttered visual field. While it may seem "uninspired" it is actually driven by careful research and 35 years of experience working with this population. While I'm sure it would be wonderful for you to receive this app for free, we are a small private company and have to pay our programmers and artists as they don't work for free. The amount of content on this lite app rivals many that cost much more so we feel 99 cents is a great bargain it! That said, we're sorry it didn't meet your expectations. The Team at Hamaguchi Apps

Child with autism loves all these games.

This has been a very good thing for my child. I suggest anyone trying to teach a child with autism to try this app.

Cute app!

I like this app for working with my son who needs augmentative communication. It really helps him associate spoken word with written words and pictures.
