Simple but effective

I enjoy using this app, especially for its video modeling options. Following the FAQs, it’s pretty simple to set up and use. A few improvements would really make it a 5 star app.

First, the ability to share boards across devices. I’d love to set up boards on my ipad and then be able to share it with others. Being able to upload to google cloud/dropbox would be amazing. Having to set it up separately on every device takes a great deal of time and effort.

Second, the ability to change the board size after it’s created. I’d like to add more to the emotions board, for instance, but can’t see a way to add more boxes to the default layout. I have to fully recreate the wheel.

Third, with the new ability to create a personal voice in Apple, I’d like to be able to import that voice (or others) for a more personalized experience.

Finally, if there could be the option to create/set a landing page that would link to other created board through similar buttons, it would help make the entire application more robust for communication purposes in general.

GREAT way to learn vocabulary in a visual way

FYI to the disgruntled user...if you don’t like a video clip or two...DELETE them, add something that works better for you, with your own videos! That’s what we love most- we can add multiple examples of a word, so it can be understood in different contexts. It’s completely editable, so not sure why it would be a problem! Thank you for a great resource for not only special education needs, but second language learners as well!

Waste of Money

This was the biggest waste of $10 I've ever spent. Save your money and get a free app that names items for you. The kid in these videos looks as if he is making fun of several of the words when he demonstrates them. Not useful or functional AT ALL!

Great App

This was just what I was looking for to work with my students. The only thing that would make it better would be the ability to share the boards with others. It would be great to be able to create a board on one iPad and be ale to share it to others in the district. Being able to backup to Dropbox would be ideal. I would love to be able to import pictures and videos from either Dropbox or Google Drive so we can use them with other devices.

So fun!

This is the funnest app! I’m teaching verbs to young students with autism. Their eyes just lit up when the communication board turned into a short video. So engaging as well as useful!
