I love it but I would make changes to the report

So I have been using Squirrel Story for a few years. I am really happy with the way it helps me identify goals in spoken narrative. However more recently I have wanted to share my assessments with parents or teachers. The report looks quite messy. Is there any way to rectify it.

Firstly the ‘scores’ look quite objective, until you realise that there is no way of the reader knowing how many the score is out of. It then seems quite random unless you are comparing reports over time and hopefully you will see a progression.

Secondly, where vocabulary is reported on, there are two lots of subheadings for verbs, connectors, adverbials and adjectives. When you have filled out the report you understand why. I think for a reader it is just confusing. The vocabulary check list is useful. I don’t think the rest gives any extra information.

My last point is that however neatly you have done the transcription, starting each utterance on a different line, it all bunches up in the report. It really would look more readable (and therefore more professional) if each utterance was on a separate line.

Any chances that you could make changes???

Story is great but keeps on crashing

I can't record on this APP. I then also cannot analyse the results if recorded elsewhere. Keeps on requiring full log in which is tedious and time consuming. Please fix this so I can use it properly!

It doesn’t work

I just paid and downloaded this app and it crashes every time I try and open it. I tried to contact the app support and it goes to a page that is no longer existing. I want my money back
