****This app provides a fun way to target many different grammatical constructs. The bowling theme is lots of fun! Every child who has tried the app has requested using it again during the next therapy session. They love the reinforcement activity! The option to target receptive/expressive syntax in one app is a huge plus as well! (Carries Speech Corner)**** ****Syntax Workout is awesome! It combines working on work structure with bowling and it is a ton of fun! My students rate this app two thumbs up. They worked hard on mastering the learning that was presented to them but LOVED the opportunity to bowl. They stayed so motivated. (Appabled)**** Syntax Workout app was created by a certified speech and language pathologist for preschool and elementary school-age children who struggle with English grammar.

GoWorksheet PLUS takes printed classroom worksheets and tests and makes them accessible with an iPad! Quickly turn printed worksheets and tests into work all your students can use. Bring in an image or take a photo of the worksheet, and customize it for your student's needs. Customization includes added word banks, allowance of tapping to fill multiple choice answers, drag and drop answers, virtual manipulative for counting exercises, line matching, or audio output that includes more detailed instructions or additional prompting. Two versions of the GoWorksheet app are available. GoWorksheet PLUS is for adding accessibility alternatives to a worksheet so all students can complete the same work. GoWorksheet is for filling out customized worksheets. Capturing text with OCR (optical character recognition) is a useful tool for creating an enhanced worksheet. Text that is to be read aloud can either be keyed in or added with the built-in OCR that identifies text on the screen. Word banks are another useful tool. For questions with short answers, the keyboard pops up when tapped. Instead of typing the answer, a student may select the answer from a teacher-created word bank. Use the AAC toolbar for quick access to messages. Once a GoWorksheet is created, multiple ways are available for the teacher to share it with the student, and for the student to return the completed worksheet. Sharing options include AirDrop, email, any cloud storage set up on the iPad (such as Google Drive or Dropbox), print, or save to Photos.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Syntax Workout at $16.99 against GoWorksheet PLUS's $49.99. Syntax Workout also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). GoWorksheet PLUS's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (35 vs 5). On update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GoWorksheet PLUS holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoWorksheet PLUS has 35 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Syntax Workout's written reviews are positive against 60% of GoWorksheet PLUS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Syntax Workout ships an update every 3 months, GoWorksheet PLUS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
