### 3/5 — Major flaw

*2023-05-16*

This is a great comprehensive screener. However it doesn’t save the clients answers.

### 4/5 — Great app but…

*2022-05-24, version 1.2*

I love using this app as a language screener with my clients. However it doesn’t save the clients answers

### 2/5 — Pam

*2016-03-22*

Parent of Sen child.   This is a lot of money for what is very little.  It is dry and lacks fun.  No wonder no free sample is given to try.  I strongly regret buying.   You would just do as well buying 99p paper kids activity mags and achieve the same.   I feel conned! 😪
