SD "What Are They Thinking?" User Reviews

Should be free

outdated and only a few usable pictures, it would've been nice to see some sample pictures beforehand, I would not have purchased. I bought to use in a social skills class...refund?

Not for social inferences

I bought this app hoping to use it for kids on the autism spectrum to infer what a person might be thinking in various scenarios. Unfortunately the pictured scenes are far too open ended. For example a girl is pictured in winter clothing. The pre recorded thoughts could be used as story starters.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. I'll discuss with our App Development Team about including scenes that will illicit more concise responses.

This app is not worth the money

My social group unanimously agreed that this app was confusing and did not make sense. They thought almost all of the examples given for what the person was thinking were just "bad!" We ended up talking about why the examples given did not make sense and trying to come up with better examples. Also, they were confused about trying to figure out what a skeleton was thinking, because skeletons don't think. My social group says, "DON'T buy this app!"

Pretty lame, overall

Voices are ridiculous and irritating. "Thoughts" are not predictable, sometimes illogical. Good for use as picture prompts for determining cause, making predictions, determining emotion. Turn off the sound, and do your own thing.

would be more useful if more concrete

The recorded thoughts are often off-the-wall and do not make sense contextually. They are "entertaining" for someone with social skills but for those children working on inferencing skills and reading body language, the recorded "answers" just don't make sense. The app is therefore only sometimes usable (the pictures) and almost never with the recorded responses. They are not what I go over with the students and if they are not predictable to me, they would not be predictable to students. And this has proven to be the case.

Waste of money

This app requires you to take the data and ask the questions. It would not work at an independent station.

Do not like it

I really wish there was a sample before purchase. The photos do not give enough information to result in the thoughts the people are Forming. There is no chance of success . If the photos were more detailed it would be helpful, or not giving such crazy thoughts.. For example, two babies, one holding ears. The thought is... He cannot play drums very well. No photo of drums, no clue that drums are making notice,... So you tell me how a child who has difficulty with this issue could possibly have success with this program? I have other super duper products so I do like this company, I just feel they missed the mark on this one and should redo it and offer an updated version.

Weird

What are super duper thinking more like!! The pictures are lovely hens the 2 stars, but what the people say is just weird. Really disappointed.

Voices odd

The app is okay, not great. The voices are often strange or distorted and a woman does the man's voice. Since it was only 1.99 I guess it's okay, but not my fave.

Good app but not worth $6- (hope mom)

I love superduper softwares and flash cards, but think they should reduce the price of all their apps.
$6 for 52 flash card is too much. The kids go through them fast and then it gets boring to see the same cards or pictures.
I would buy much more apps if they are at a reasonable price
of $ 2 Or $ 3 at most

This particular app has pictures of people with an empty thought bubble over the head and the child has to think what the person is thinking or might say. Like: woman standing with a plate of cookies, a bride and groom waving, child dialing a phone, lady vacuuming the floor.....
These are pictures which you can collect from any magazine or books and make it more interesting.
If you don't have the time to cut pictures this is a good app but not worth $6 :- my thoughts :)

Not functional

I bought this thinking I'd use it with my ASD social skills group but it's not what I thought. The things that the people are saying are silly and do not teach students functional responses for an inferring task.

Caution!

I was very disappointed in the voices and prosody of the speakers, as well as the contextual relevance of what the app suggests as things the characters are thinking. Not good models for my students in speech therapy. Would only buy for the pictures. Too expensive for what you get!

The voice has an echo

I think this could be a great app, but the voice that labels items has an echo and it's distracting.

What are they thinking

I downloads this app and the sound does not work! the sound does work on my iPad ! I was excited to find it but not anymore!

Keep bringing apps!

Very pleased with all the super duper apps!

Best app ever!

The creative mind behind this app did an amazing job! What a great teaching tool for the forward thinking educator.

Fun!

My students enjoy the pictures and like to make up more things,usually silly, that they could be thinking. Would like to see more apps like this! How about with the cats and dogs descriptive pictures? Or the babies? Students love to talk about them!
