### 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!

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Great for speech therapy!

*2013-05-02*

WhQuestions This is a good app for working on wh- questions during speech therapy sessions. I usually find myself struggling to come up with more than 5 "why" questions. This app has over 30 of them! It's easy collect data, just hit the check or X after each answer. At the end of the session the data is broken down for you into percentage of accurate answers for each type of question. Each students's data is saved into a chart that lets you compare performance over time. You can choose to work on only certain types of wh- questions (for example: just "what" and "where") all work on all types in the same session. I like that you can swipe past questions that are too difficulty for younger children ("Why do people get goose bumps?") without the app recording the skipped questions as incorrect.

### 4/5 — Whquestions

*2013-03-15*

I have used this app to help a child with a learning disability combined with autism.  He enjoyed using it and it did seem to help him develop his ability to answer whquestions more readily.

### 3/5 — Add Choices

*2013-03-02, version 3.5*

I have had this app for a while and don't use it as much as I thought I would. A lot of my patients need choices for wh questions. Especially when starting to target them. I would love if you could add an option to give choices with pictures the kids could touch.

### 4/5 — Good but could use an update

*2013-03-02*

I really like this app, but I'd like to see the following changes. Some of the visuals give the answer, in a field of 1 or more, and some do not. I'd like to see some consistency in that. I'd also like to be able to change whether or not the visual answers are present or not - to turn them on and off depending on the level of the student. I also don't like that I can't score an answer as cued. That is essential in any scoring feature. With these minor updates, the app would be perfect!

### 4/5 — WH questions

*2013-03-02, version 3.5*

Great app to target WH questions. Allows you to select which WH to work on. You can also add multiple students and track their progress.

### 4/5 — SLP

*2013-01-06*

This is a great app for getting a quick measure of a child's ability to correctly respond to wh questions. I love that it tracks data each session and stores that data over time, so it's easy to quickly see if there has been progress. Some things that I might change: some questions are more difficult than others (for example, there are some questions that pre-k and kdg kids that are typically developing wouldn't really know the answers to simply because of what they are exposed to). It would be nice if the questions presented correlated to the age that's entered when you set up a child's profile. It would also be nice if their age updated over time. For example, when you first create a profile for a child they may be 4 yrs, 6 mos, but if they are still targeting wh questions a year later, their listed age does not change. It might be nice then if the questions increased with difficulty as age increased.

### 4/5 — Great ap

*2012-09-01, version 3.3*

I use this ap to quickly run through questions with speech students. Def worth the price!

### 4/5 — Wh Questions

*2012-06-25*

This is a very user friendly and well organized app.  You can choose the question type and it provides you with data for your students.  I like the variety of questions under each question type.  The questions vary in level of abstraction which provides good diagnostic information as well as good practice for the students.  The students enjoy recording their responses and listening to themselves.  This is a big help for their self monitoring skills.  I wish there was an almost button, because some students get the answer right, but don't formulate a clear, specific response.  That would assist in my assessment of their progress.

### 4/5 — great app

*2012-06-25*

This app has a good variety of wh questions. It would be nice to have a curriculum base of some sort but I know that is asking a lot. Some of the questions are a bit difficult for some of my students but it is easy to skip over them if needed. All are open ended questions (no answer chpices) but there are picture cues. That is good for some kids but others I wish the picture cue was not just a given. It wuld be nice to have an option to give the cue if needed and give answer choices if needed.

### 4/5 — Wh questions

*2012-05-18, version 3.3*

I love the variety of questions in this app and being able to choose question types.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2012-03-05, version 3.2*

Good app for practicing Wh questions with my students

### 4/5 — Great

*2012-03-02, version 3.2*

What a great app.

### 4/5 — Nice improvements with updates

*2012-02-25*

This update has made this app easier to use, and my students are enjoying it more. I do wish it had photographs instead of cartoons, but the drawings in this version have improved as well., I would like this app more if there if it was more interactive to better engage my students, especially my less verbal students with autism.  I also would like it if there was some kind of reinforcement after a certain number of correct responses. My students have beccome used to being able to touch all over the screen and having something happen, then getting some sort of reward, not just a "good job" from me.

### 3/5 — WH Questions

*2012-02-25, version 3.2*

Thanks for this app ....there just aren't many good apps addressing WH questions available yet.  I like the data collection feature in this one.  Thank you smarty ears for all the apps you are developing and for listening to the users.

### 4/5 — Update Made Some Improvements

*2012-02-21*

The revisions to the app have made it a much better tool.  I like being able to choose the type of question I want to target.  The ability to record the students answer is also good.  I wish it contained real photographs instead of the cartoon style pictures.  like the data tracking and ability to easily share it with others.  Still a bit high priced for what you get.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Wouldn't even load

*2012-05-11, version 3.3*

I bought this app and was never even able to get past the start up screen. It wouldn't even let me input student names. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Was not impressed

*2012-02-15, version 3.2*

It only shows a cartoon pics and asks questions "how do you give a hug" , "who flies an airplane." The teacher then decides if the child verbally gives a correct answer and marks correct or not correct. There are no choices for students to pick an answer. a student or child would have no benefit from this app without an adult present. Not worth $2.00, let alone the price this costs.

### 1/5 — 300

*2011-10-28*

Are you sure there are 300 sentences . If not,I need refund.

### 1/5 — Not worth the $

*2011-10-22, version 2.0*

This app is not worth $14.99. Maybe worth $0.99. Really disappointing! Poor representation of items. Will not use!

### 1/5 — Speech-Language Pathologist

*2011-02-27*

I am an SLP working with children of a wide range of ages and disabilities. Wanted an APP to use with children who rely on visual supports. I like how the screen is clutter free and provides an array of three choices. The voicing is nice, but would like to have an option to turn it off so the child can focus on me. Most pictures are cartoons as opposed to real photos. Many of the pictures are distorted.  The random option alters the sizing of the pictures and cover the question. Overall, I am very disappointed with the app. A waste of money.  Although a higher level of questions, I prefer to Language Builder iQuestion app much better... and it is significantly cheaper.  Don't waste your money on WhQuestions app.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2011-02-07, version 2.0*

The words cover up the pictures, photos are distorted. This app needs an update fast. Don't waste $14.99 on this app.

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2011-01-19, version 2.0*

$14.99, for what? Waist of money!! How do I get my money back??
Gave it 1 star because it wouldn't let me give zero stars.

### 1/5 — Fix the bugs

*2011-01-07, version 2.0*

Every time I use this app, it freezes up. Surely you can fix the bugs! Also, higher level comprehension type questions would be nice.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money!

*2011-01-02, version 2.0*

Terrible!  The graphics are terrible and difficult to see well in some cases, and poor representations of the targets.  Sometimes the graphics cover the written question.  The stimulus question voice is the most annoying ever.  My biggest criticism is that one of the biggest factors when teaching children "wh" questions is discriminating the type of answer the question requires (person,place, time,explanation). In this app, will ask a "who" question and have both possible answers be people.  This app needs better graphics, better discrimination of the targets, better voice overs,  and better data collection capabilities.  It will take a lot of upgrades to make this app worth the money.  Right now, save your money, and stick to more traditional therapy stimulus material and paper and pencil data tracking.  In it's present for this app will add less than nothing to your therapy.

*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!

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-03-02, version 3.5*

I use this app with my speech therapy students. It helps me to keep data. The kids like to us it!

### 5/5 — Wh-Question is an awesome app! Gar-Ram

*2012-04-09, version 3.3*

I totally love my Wh-Question it makes treatment session go by so much easier because it keeps track for you. My kids love it because it makes their session so much more interesting.

### 5/5 — Great way to work on answering questions!

*2012-03-02, version 3.2*

...

### 5/5 — WH questions

*2012-02-24, version 3.2*

I'm looking forward to using this app with my kids.

### 5/5 — Big Improvement!

*2011-11-24*

I love the updated version of this app. I had completely stopped using the old version because some of the questions were strange and it wasn't very user friendly. This updated app is fantastic. I've used it with 3 patients today who all have goals related to "wh" questions. They are great for all levels with plenty of basic what questions all the way up to why questions for the more advanced students. Great app, thanks so much for making the needed improvements to this app!

### 5/5 — Needs improvement

*2010-11-12, version 0*

This does not collect data for individual students like the other apps of the same developer. Also, the images are distorted.  I do not like it. Overpriced and not useful .

### 5/5 — great!

*2010-11-08, version 0*

There are only a few apps concerning questions and this is a good one!  Wonderful graphics, record keeping, and very expressive voicing!
