Could be better

I like the idea of this app, but it is a bit glitchy. My biggest complaint, though, is that it doesn't actually have the present tense. One of the most frequent challenges my students who are working on grammar have is using correct subject-verb agreement (I walk, he walks, etc.). This app substitutes the present progressive tense and calls it the present tense.

Nothing happens!

I can get one verb to show, but how do I advance it? And, the student is only supposed to "tap the picture that shows what has already happened." They understand something has happened in the past, the weakness is expressing the verb correctly. This app does not allow for verbal expression. I'm not even sure what they're going for here; they don't allow for choices in order to indicate knowledge. Frankly, a total waste of time.

Engaging

I am an SLP and my students enjoy this app. The videos and activities are simple and beneficial. I do wish it had ability for more than one student to play at a time, but for the price, it's a useful app.

Very helpful

Videos and pictures helped to teach tenses to my kid.

Fantastic App

This is the hands down best app for teaching tense. The movie quality animations are cute and really help students visualize the timeline. My kids ask to play this app over all other speech therapy app. Another amazing app from Mobile Education Store.
