### 4/5 — Good start

*2013-12-17*

Like the idea and skill level targetted. It's a nice intermediate level. Would like ability to modify scan border color/size (sometimes not enough contrast against cell border). Would also like feature similar to iOS7 Switch Stabilization for bluetooth switch users (and touch).

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-05-04, version 1.0*

I used this with one of my students and he loved it.  It wasn't so complicated as to be overwhelming and he started to imitate the sentences.  Most of all, I didn't have to make pictures!  What fun!

### 5/5 — Sentence Fun

*2013-04-29, version 1.0*

This is a great way to work with your students on  WHO IS DOING WHAT sentences.  Fun, engaging, and learning all in one! A great app for your collection!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-03-26, version 1.0*

I got this because I decided to start using symbols with my daughter instead of actual pictures, I just love it she will pay more attention to IPad rather than just showing her the pecs, one little thing that when you go to matching mode, the voice keep repeating ,even though we started the new sentence I think it should stop after only one time you tab on it and you decide if you want to hear it one more time tab on it again that needs to be fixed, other than that it is a must have app if you have a kid with language disorder ,.................... And I told her speech therapist today she should get it too.
