I’m glad I have this!

The internet was down at my work and I was wondering what I would do with my students who are working on core words as their goal. Thank goodness I had downloaded this app just a couple of weeks before! I like the two word meaningful phrases and the real-life photos. Great app!

Great, but I want a pause

UPDATE: there IS a setting to not auto advance; thank you. Now, it’s perfectly wonderful!!!!!
As a pediatric SLP, this is a great app! I love the two word core phrases and using actions with nouns so early.
However, I would love if smarty ears updated with a pause button or setting that does not auto advance. Often I want the client to practice using the phrase together after they have formed it in the app.
