### 5/5 — knhslp13

*2019-05-01*

This app is perfect for the kiddos with wh- question goals. I love the visuals that go along with the questions and the fact it tracks data is an added bonus!

### 4/5 — App I recommend for wh- questions

*2019-04-30*

Primarily used with speech kiddos 3-6 years of age. The visuals on the questions provide a nice prompt. I like that it can be set up the session can be customized for which wh- question being targeted. I would suggest a future update have a visual for answers field of 3-4 for children working at that level.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2019-04-29*

Most of the kiddos that are working on wh questions have difficulty switching between the different types of questions.  This app makes it very easy and my students love to see the pictures and use them as cues.   Another great app!

### 5/5 — Lindsay M.

*2019-04-29*

I really enjoy using this app for my language kiddos with goals specially on wh questions. The app is very user friendly and my kids enjoy using it.

### 4/5 — Great visuals

*2019-04-28*

I love using this with my younger kids with decontextualized WH question goals. The visuals help giving them choices. It’s even a great review tool for some of my older kids as I have them explain their answer choices. Only wish it had some other features to make it a more diverse tool for older kids or higher level WH goals.

### 4/5 — Wh Questions

*2019-04-11*

This is one of my favorite apps to use with kids as they are learning how to answer wh-questions.  It has visual supports and the kids enjoy using the app.  It also has a data collection component to gather and assess progress.

### 4/5 — WH Questions

*2018-07-23*

I love using this app with my 3-5 year old speech kiddos. They enjoy being able to say or select their answer and I enjoy the variety of questions that can be targeted. My only suggestion for future updates would be to have an option for picture choices for some of the lower-level kiddos who need that visual cue. Otherwise, this app is perfect.

### 1/5 — Very Poor

*2015-03-01*

I hate to give such a negative review because I know someone put in the time and effort to create this app, but I have to be honest so eager parents don't  spend their money on such an amateurish almost useless app. 1) what you click on and what you get are two different things. E.g. Click on who but you get why questions. 2) once you are in a category such as "where" there is only 1,yes 1 question in that category 3) no back button to pick a different category, you have to go back to the home page, select the player again (even if you only have one child), then again  be forced to select between speaking the answer or select the answer. This is for each & every question. I've never been so dissatisfied with any app - even free apps meet higher standards than this one. I wouldn't keep this even if it were free. Too bad because the concept was great but execution is beyond poor.

### 4/5 — Nice App!

*2013-10-12, version 3.5*

I like that there are a such variety of questions, and that you can set up profiles for each student. You can pick the type of questions you want each student to answer, and the app takes data for you. I let my students push the "green" button if they get it right and it is motivating for them.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2013-08-24, version 3.5*

This app can be adapted for students working at a variety of different levels. I like how you can target one question type at a time or several. Great App!
