Tap-n-See Now is the first app for iPad and iPhone created specifically for children with cortical visual impairment (CVI)! The bright colors and fun pictures in this world-renowned cause and effect app will also appeal to babies and young toddlers without CVI. Design & Game Play: Tap-N-See Now was designed to incorporate Dr. Roman-Lantzy's common characteristics of CVI. Adorable hand-drawn images dance around the screen one at a time, appealing to a child's preference for movement. The use of a single image against a solid background helps eliminate visual clutter while the use of highly saturated colors makes the image easier to see. Touching the image results in a reward sound as the image grows in size. Customizable: All aspects of the app are fully customizable to meet your child's needs. Both the animals and background can be set to your child's preferred color. Particular images can be chosen to adapt to the level of complexity that works best for your child. How you interact with the image and what kind of reward is triggered is also highly customizable. All these settings make it possible for the app to adapt to your child's expanding visual and physical ability! Settings: The settings allow you to: Choose between 5 loveable animals or purchase any of 11 additional image packs. Choose from a variety of highly saturated background and image colors. Select how big the image appears on the screen. Select how quickly the image moves around the screen. Choose from 10 unique reward sounds to play when the image is touched. Select from a variety of other motion and touch settings that make the app accessible even for those with limited movement.

I’d like a refund pls ### 5/5 — My daughter likes Tap and See *2022-03-29* I’m surprised my daughter still likes this app. She’s 11 now and must like the bright colours moving around. ### 1/5 — Sound *2022-02-09* Sound doesn’t work more than half the time very disappointing ### 2/5 — Doesn't show purchases on iPad Pro *2016-05-08* I recently purchased an iPad Pro and this app won't restore my purchase so all I have now is the "lite" version (alligator only). Every time I try to connect to the App Store or restore purchase from within the app I get an error message. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Little bear sees *2015-11-04* App no longer works now that another version is available. ### 4/5 — Good...but could be better *2015-09-19* I really like this app for my young students with CVI, but I wish that it said the name of the item that the child was looking to touch. For example, when the cow is moving around a voice could say, "Find the cow." Or when the cow is tapped it could just say, "cow" and then the animal sound. I think that this could be a great app with a few changes. ### 1/5 — Not happy with the upgrade *2014-12-21* I Loved the app previously. It had easy settings and once I set them they stayed. This update does not have clear images as it once had. Once the image is tapped it stays" frozen" on the screen much too long before a new image appears. Also I can't seem to change some of the settings as easily as it appears. I actually purchased this (the last version), and now I have an app that used to be great that is ineffective. ### 2/5 — Hard to activate *2014-02-21* It would be better if you could just touch to activate instead of lifting your hand off the object to sctivate, my son will touch the object and wait for the resoonse but by the time he lifts his hand the object has moved. Disapointed ### 5/5 — Great *2013-10-10* This app is fantastic, as a TVI, I use this with several of my students for scanning, visual attention, and visual motor goals. I have a suggestions - could you integrate more complex backgrounds, starting from simple and getting more complex? I have a goal that this would be a great introduction to, as look and find books are a bit too complex. ## Frequently asked questions about Tap ### What is Tap-n-See Now designed for?
