Not working

This doesn't seem to work on my iPad. Not responding to voice.

Response from developer

Hi, could you check in your iPad's Settings > Privacy > Microphone > check that the switch is green next to Speak Up. This will enable Speak Up to access the microphone. If it is already green, the next thing to check is the microphone sensitivity slider within Speak Up. Open Speak Up, tap on the Settings button (the cog icon in the top left) and check the microphone sensitivity slider isn't all the way to the right hand side. If neither of these fix the problem, please email us at support@sensoryapphouse.com and we'll see what else we can do. Thanks!

The settings button is key

There is a settings button in the upper left hand corner where you can choose colors and set the microphone sensitivity to be low. This is good both as a simple cause and effect app for kids who are just learning to vocalize, and it's also good for teaching students to use a louder voice- or the opposite - a quieter voice. I would like to be able to fine tune he microphone sensitivity even more- on the some of the activities it would be more fun if the patterns registered more instead of hovering at the bottom of the page. A good speech therapy tool to have. My students like their other sensory speak up app too because of the caterpillar they can make grow.

Has possibilities

I figured out how to get colors, but the mic sensitivity setting is not clear. Text based directions would not go amiss. I hope to figure it out as I think this might help both my student who persists in whispering and those groups that get too loud.

Disappointed

This app didn't work for me either.

Doesn't work

I just downloaded this app and to my surprise it doesn't work. The app has access to the mic in my iPad, but the sound of my voice doesn't make the app work. There are colors that vanish leaving a dark screen or a white dot in the middle that doesn't change at all.

Not ready for release

Buggy. Crashes. And everything is only in black and white! My kiddos would love this, if only it were stable and it had some color. I'll wait for the next release and hope.

:(

Trying to find apps to help my non-verbal son. This app was not really helpful.

A good idea not well actualised

There are no instructions, which wouldn't be a problem if the app was intuitive. Found out the image wasn't moving because I had to pretty much shout in the mike for the image to move.

So, would be a lot better if it reacted more to sound. Would also be good if you had the choice to have it react to touching the screen.

Anyway deleted it as soon as I worked out how to use it as you have to yell loudly before it works

Sensory Speak Up

This app really works well when encouraging vocalisations - I have already tried it with a young 8 month old just to see his reaction - lots of smiles and more noises! As a Speech Therapist I feel sure there are many other ways this app can be used with the changes in colour settings to suit users and volume settings to encourage louder sounds. See how long you can hold a sound to keep the shape moving!
