User reviews

Too easy

I liked the app conceptually. However it was too simple. I wish there was more variety on sounds--my 2 year old scored 100% her 2nd time and my 4 year old was bored.

Don't like it

There are so many better apps like this that do the job much better. What's that sound? Is great. The pictures are far too small and the sound is so short. There is no way to repeat the sound either. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

Suggestions

I have read a lot of reviews from Speech Therapists. I am one too. I work with deaf and hard of hearing children. I would love to be able to turn off the prompts, option to play the sound again, and option to add/remove pictures from the choices. Then this app would get used everyday and recommended to ALL of my colleagues.

Awesome app

This an excellent app and one I wish there was more of. I am a speech therapist with experience in pediatrics and adults. I use this app for my adults who have suffered strokes and have aphasia and are having trouble identifying basic sounds. I used it with kids as well as a warm up activity to "get their ears ready" for discriminating phonemes. I wish there were more sounds or different levels...perhaps sets of 10 sounds. Also as another user mentioned, the option to turn off the prompt and also replay the sound. Sometimes my geriatric patients need to hear the sound again and I have to select a wrong choice for them to hear it again and then they have to listen to then 'try again' message.. All in all one of my go to apps for discrim.

Awesome app

It has glitches but they don't detract from how great the app is. Simple and brilliant. Sounds are great, voices are pleasant.
