After purchasing I started adding photos until it stopped and told me I could only add 8 unless I purchased the full version. What the heck did I purchase then! Glaring bug with an easy fix but apparently this “developer” was an intern. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your concern. We fixed the bug that would only let you add only 8 images and updated it in the app store. Please let us know if you have any other issues and we'll fix them too! ### 5/5 — Love this APP even with bugs *2018-12-16* This is a favorite! I’m a pediatric SLP and love that I can adapt this to get a good understanding of receptive vocabulary in my preschool students. I’m able to see what classmates they recognize too. ### 3/5 — This app has awesome capabilities but crashes all the time *2018-09-06* I am an SLP, BCBA, administrator, and mom to three kiddos. I love the concept of this app. I’ve had this app for about 7 years. Even with updates, the crashes and glitches still haven’t been corrected. The glitches that I have found is that the app crashes (freezes or closes completely) or restricts me to lite version options ( even though I’m using the paid version.). This app has amazing customization and practical use. I’ve used it to teach phonics, multiplication, division, letter ID, vocabulary, categorization, feelings, site words and more. Please fix the glitches! **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@zorten.com and let us know what kind of crashes you are experiencing. We would like to know so we can fix it! ### 2/5 — Lacking versatility *2018-04-21* I love this learning game and the concept. It is cool that you can take pictures and add to the categories. However, the categories is seriously lacking. Please add more options to rotate threw in each category and have more then just two categories. In the animals categories the base should be bigger before I have to add to it. I don’t have access to add real pictures of say monkeys, sloths, giraffes... and more categories example insects, musical instruments... it’s very time consuming adding all this in and getting access to take a picture. I expected more from a paid app. P.s some parents might find to many options would make it to difficult per category. However this app does have you covered for that. You can shut off some pictures from rotating threw until your child learns a few, then you can slowly add in more each time you play. A very good feature if they build up the pre loaded categories. I sincerely hope they do. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2018-01-09* Has not been updated for iOS 11, and won’t even open. I have sent messages to the developer with no response. I spent hours getting this app set up and adding pictures, and got to use it for less than a week. **Developer response:** Hello, We are pleased to announce that the app has been updated and works great again! ### 1/5 — Needs update to work *2017-11-13* Love this app but can’t use it until the developers update it to be compatible with new version of iOS :( **Developer response:** Hello, We are pleased to announce that the app has been updated and works great again! ### 1/5 — Worst App I Ever Paid For *2016-05-10* I am a speech therapist and I bought this app to work with kids who need to identify words in a field of 3 or more. This app is a complete joke and a total rip off. I paid $4.99 for this and there are 2 categories, animals and colors. If I want more, I have to do all the work to take pictures and add them myself. I am shocked that they have not done anything with this or provided any content. It's like a "lite" version of an app, but I actually bought it. Seriously, DO NOT waste your money. **Developer response:** Hello, We are proud of letting our purchasers create their own customized content rather than buying multiple in-app purchases of pre-made material. We have a small amount of installed content to give you an idea what Word Slapps can do, but we think that you know best how your child will learn, not us. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2014-03-29* My grandson has been diagnosed autistic so I've been looking around for apps he would like and use. He absolutely loves this app. He is 3 years old. I've taken pictures of mommy, daddy, grandma and papaw, the pets, and anything he is familiar with. I started him off with just one choice just so he could get used to the app. He can do multiple choice too now. I highly recommend this app. It makes everything personalized for your child but also contains a library of items. Very user friendly to set up. ### 2/5 — Screen freezes *2013-09-01* I love the idea of this app and was really happy with the lite version. Now that I've created some new categories, the screen freezes on the second or third round - no voice recording, no response to touch. Once this bug is fixed, I'll love this app! ### 1/5 — Word Slapps -- it's not working right anymore *2013-07-10* I had been using this to teach my son his weekly vocabulary words during this past school year. But, I had not used it since I updated it a few weeks ago. Since the update, it will show two or all three examples of (eg. banana) all in the same field of three. Often, it will not play my recorded definition of the word and then when we try to guess, the screen seems to be frozen: no sound and just doesn't respond to the touch. I am disappointed because I would have given this app 5 stars prior to these problems. Please fix these problems!
