Bitsboard Flashcards & Games Reviews

Exceptional App!

The uses for this app are endless. Working with students with disabilities this will be great for teaching concepts, vocabulary, and many other testing skills. I love the choices in layout when presenting the information. This is a great way to make sure the information is being understood. I also love the fact that bits boards can shared and created from scratch to help meet the needs of students. Highly recommended this app.

Very Helpful Speech Therapy!

After brain cancer (glioblastoma) surgery in November 2015, I was unable to read, write sentences, remember peoples names, etc. This is one of the two best Apps that I have used since surgery, and it has helped me wonderfully!

Use it almost daily

This has been a great app for my child and myself to do together. He has lots of fun & the classes are short enough to hold his attention and he feels really proud of himself when he earns a high score. Very encouraging and useful resource.

OK-but not willing to pay for it

Bitsboard is nice for quickly being able to make custom flashcards. Even without the paid subscription, you have access to a large catalog of photos that you can use and you can also use your own photos. I would consider paying for it, except for 3 significant issues: 1) The "Sort it" game and is not working the way it should. I combined three different boards in two a new board (as has instructed in the tutorial), but when I choose that board and try to play “Sort It” I get content from other boards. I wanted to report that issue to Bitsboard, but there is no way of contacting them either from the app or from their website. 2) Every time I tried to play that “Word Chunk ” game, it crashes. Again, no way to report this. 3) There is no built in reward system for the kids. It would be really nice if after completing acts number of trials, the kids could play some kind of fun game. Although the activities on Bitsboard are called “games” most of them really are just drills and quickly get boring for most kids. They would be much more motivated, if they were working torn something that was truly fun. Update: 2/2/2017- still wish there was an option for a reward game. That would make this much more of a go to app for me.

I have used this app for many years. There was no cost involved. But every time there is an update there are more and more items taken away UNLESS you pay. I have no problems with them charging new users but do NOT believe you should have to pay NOW for features that were free at the time I downloaded.

Monthly fee for Dropbox download?

I use this with two kids and and think the app is very good. I've made three boards for us. I might make one or two more. That's it. I don't teach classes and have lots of students. However, the app wants to charge a monthly fee for very simple things. For example, the app appears to let us upload to dropbox, but wants a monthly fee to be able to download. I wouldn't mind a one-time charge for Dropbox download (even though I've never seen an app charge for Dropbox download), but I won't pay monthly fee and I can't recommend the monthly fee to anyone. --

Not happy with paying again

I am a teacher and already paid $10 for the app on one iPad. I got a new iPad Air that is lighter to carry to class. I was able to sign into my account, how ever it won't let me go to my boards unless I get a subscription or pay an additional $20. Not sure if anybody has heard, but teachers don't make much money, so paying for an app is not fun. Paying for it TWICE (total of $30) is crazy. I'm not paying for it.
