Great idea but...

I teach self-contained middle school students who are moderately impaired. This works on my iPhone but not iPad. Need to label the solar system objects with which group of 10 Fry Words is being tested so that I can use this with my students more effectively and efficiently and so they can use it independently. Finally, make it so more than one kid can put their name in. I made an account for me so I could figure out how it works and now there seems to be no way to change it or add an actual kid. This would be an excellent tool for practice on the bus while riding to field trips and, because of the microphone and speech recognition features with instant reward, for use as a home tool for my students whose parents only read and speak Spanish. This would also be a great COVID-19 resource while we are teaching online during this extended school closure.

Update: I have insured my iPad has a constant connection and I am still having the same issue with lack of recognition (I took a video and some pictures this time. I discovered the ‘Home’ button - it looks like a share button so I didn’t realize it was the Home button. Once you tap that button then several options are available including managing users. After hearing from the developer, several of the things I have mentioned are being addressed in the next update hopefully coming out this week. I really like this app and see it’s usefulness in a class like mine so I will stay tuned for the updates!

Response from developer

Hello Kimmiey, First, thank you for taking the time to write this out - I really appreciate the feedback! I'd like to address all your points & hope this helps you out with your students. The iPad issue is likely because the iPad lacks an internet connection, which prevents the speech recognition from working. I have a new release almost ready to go that will provide a better warning about no connections that should be out this week. This new release also includes labeling around the word groupings, which should help track which groups to do. As far as account, the app already supports an unlimited amount of users. From the home screen, select the icon on the top right & choose "Manage Users". From the user screen, clicking on the "+" button allows you to add users. To set a current user, just tap on their name from this screen and it will highlight them. From the home screen, it will then show the name of the current user. Hopefully, 1.6 should be ready this week and it should take care of the other items you pointed out! Best of luck & stay safe - Sean Updated - I just wanted to follow up with you to see if the 1.6 release addressed your issues? - Sean
