Don’t waste your $

This app only has three type yourself questions but it doesn’t give the patient the answer, you’re better off using flash cards for your dementia patients. What a waste of money it’s an extremely simple app some kid could make in their basement.

Hi, we're sorry you don't find the app useful. The idea is that implements the Spaced Retrieval memory technique and allows you to do other things while it keeps track of incrementing/decrementing timers, reminding you to ask the questions, and writing the report at the end for you. Just in case, here's more info on the technique: https://tactustherapy.com/spaced-retrieval-training-memory/. If you have any other questions or feedback, we'd be happy to hear from you: support@tactustherapy.com

Ugh

This is a glitchy app, and it doesn’t let you close your keyboard after entering the question. So then you are just stuck in limbo in front of the patient. It is useless and a waste of money.

Sorry to hear you're frustrated! The keyboard should close if you hit Return or Keyboard Down after typing. If this is not working for you, please contact us at support@tactustherapy.com for assistance. We work hard to resolve all bugs and help our customers use our apps successfully.

This is a specialised therapy technique with unique timing and data tracking needs that our app helps thousands of clinicians and educators deliver.

Makes SRT data collection effortless

Simple, easy way to quickly take data. The option to email the results of the therapy session streamlines documentation.

Worthless

It literally just prompts you to answer same question at a repeated interval. No help for SLPs doing therapy. Wish I could get a refund.

We're sorry you're disappointed. You can ask Apple for a refund for any app that does not function how you expect. However, this is exactly how the app is meant to work. The spaced retrieval therapy method is entirely about asking the same question at expanding intervals of time. This app helps you keep track of the question, the time (doubled or halved), and the data on whether it was correct or not. The email report summarizes this data for you to export. More information can be found here: http://tactustherapy.com/spaced-retrieval-training-memory/

Not worth $3.99

This app is too simplistic. I could perform the exercises in exactly the same manner with the stop watch on the iPhone. The user should at least be able to save training sessions for future use. Also the timing is confusing. The SRT therapy itself is brilliant and everyone should try it, but the app itself needs a major overhaul.

SRT app perfect for Pt needs

Bought this for iPadAir yesterday. Really needed the SRT to assist in improving short-term memory skills. Appreciate the data feedback for documentation. Pt loved it!

Very nice app!

This app is a fantastic inclusion into my therapy toolbox. It is very useful in therapy and helps me keep track patient progress more efficiently.

Very Useful!

I found this app to be extremely useful during therapy sessions. When juggling multiple activities it can be difficult to remember to cue a patient for each specific interval. This app makes spaced retrieval an easy way to incorporate prospective and short term memory tasks into treatment

Love this app!

I recently purchased this app for my iPad and I love it! It's so easy to use and very efficient. It has made my life much easier. I highly recommend it if you're interested in using SRT!

This is a great app to target memory!

This is a great and inexpensive app to target memory in my brain-injured clients. It can be used for both kids and adults.

Great with my dementia patients!

I love this app for working with my patients with dementia. Spaced retrieval is excellent for helping individuals with dementia remember important things (names of caregivers, where they live, where to look if they need to find information, etc.). I love that with this app, I don't have to constantly check my watch to see if its time to ask the question again, or set my cell phones alarm clock for a dozen different time intervals. I haven't tried this with any of my patients other than those with dementia, but I am excited to do so in the future!

Great for patients with TBI!

Spaced Retrieval TherAppy is one of the many great applications by Tactus Therapy Solutions. You can customize the application by adding your own questions and choosing the time intervals for how often to ask questions related to time, orientation, naming objects, memory strategies, etc. This is exactly what I worked on when I was working with people who had TBI in a clinic, but simpified to fit in your pocket. In addition, the application comes with instructions of how to use it as well as the ability to record data and e-mail it to yourself. This cuts down on time recording data. It would be great to have a recording function on this app in the future for those who have difficulty reading/have lost the skill of reading fluently.

Will help my TBI!

This app will help my TBI memory problems. Need lots of help with memory. Love this app! Really enjoy pushing my memory skills.

High hopes

Clever idea, but it needs some development. It's not worth $4. to me. If you have a sweep second hand on your watch or clock, a pencil and a piece of paper, you don't really need this app.
You could add:
Prerecorded orientation questions to choose from,
sound record/playback on the questions/answers,
Photo library.
Just sayin'

I've been waiting for this!

I have been struggling with keeping track of intervals for this therapy style for awhile with my brain injury patients, and when my stopwatch broke, I nearly gave up. Now I can use my iPad to not only track time, but data too! Love this app! Thanks!
