Great app

RobosMonkey

As usual, Mobile Education Store has put out a great app. It is age appropriate and yet also provides verbal instructions for the kids who may have delayed reading ability. Some of the responses were confusing for me, though, so I hope that these may be beta tested more with typical kids in the future.

For older and mature teens

I want to start by saying this is a wonderful app for helping a teen with social situations and proper conversations. Throw in some moral lessons as well. A+. I originally got this to use with my 13 yo but she is not quite mature enough for many of the conversations, even with the parental controls. This will be an app for in a couple of years for sure. The parental controls are great and a big plus for me. One of the things that I thought was a nice touch was that you or your teen could record their own responses in the conversation and then play back the whole conversation at the end, so you can hear the whole flow. You can set it up for more than 1 person to track and you can track progress as well. As an adult I even got something out of the app in helping me to be more aware of conversations that I have with others. Nice! Highly recommended! But I do recommend you got through some of the conversations before a young teen does.

Good app

I really like this app! It is great for those students who struggle with social skills. I also think it will be great for the building of vocabulary!

Great conversation app for Teenagers

Occupational Therapist

I have gotten to try this app with pre-teens and teens in a life skills class and they really enjoyed it. They struggle to have appropriate conversations with their typical peers at times and I think this app will facilitate good practice for different situations. I particularly liked that it will track users, responses, record response, be used individually and with groups, and allow for a variety of conversation topics. I would like to see a way to create additional conversation topics, but that is something that would be great in a future version. Highly recommend this app! It does exactly what the iTunes description says!

glad for teen level app

This app is good for use with teens. I thought that some of the answers were open to varied responses. Overall I think it is a good app for teens. Glad that you can have parental controls.

Excellent

This app is a great way for teens to practice their conversational skills. I appreciate the parental controls. You can put a password on the app to skip the conversations about sex and drugs. Some of the conversations and responses did not hold up to my recommendations for a teen but I use it to show different options. It opens up conversation topics that are difficult to bring up.

Love it

I think this one is better than the original in the overall setup. Some of the features of this app that are really neat are the history button which displays the conversation like you see on the iPhone messages, the info button which tells you what each conv. is about, explanations as to why certain responses don't work and the ability to have each choice read to you by an appropriate voice. Some topics should be viewed with caution as they may be inappropriate for some kids. I skipped the conversations about drugs, but I think they are still important topics that can be addressed with the consent of a parent or by a parent. If you have concerns with particular conversation topics then I suggest emailing the developer. He works really hard on these apps and he would probably appreciate appropriate critical feedback. Overall, I really enjoyed using this app as well as the original.

Great for Teens

This is an excellent app for working on conversation building and social skills with teenagers. There are a wide range of age appropriate topics to choose from, with parental controls to block more sensitive topics if desired. I love that the app gives feedback when an inappropriate choice is made, and that it can be used to practice conversations with one person or a group. It would be nice if there would be an option for the choices to be automatically saved into a conversation, rather than having the student record it in his/ her own voice. This would allow the app to be used with nonverbal students as well.

Excellent App

This app is just what I've been looking for with with older students on conversation skill. The developer did a great job in choosing topics relevant to Jr and Sr. High School students. The pictures and auditory are of actual students which makes it more real for participants.
