My DD preschoolers love this app :-) it’s great for teaching, I want“ “more“ “I like ““ I see “and just functional vocabulary words related to food.
Love it!

My son loves this ap! He asks for it and it keeps his attention. So many aps I download, and he plays for a few minutes, and he's done with it. With Maxi, he wants more and plays it for a long time.
Best Toddler App!!!

My son is 2 1/2 and he loves this APP! It is so interactive.... he has so much fun and is learning at the same time. There are a lot of options to keep things new and exciting. I highly recommend to anyone who has a toddler!!
Great app!

My 2-1/2 year old son loves this app! He loves to interact with Maxi, saying "more food" and loves to watch the animations. He repeats the names of all the foods and has definately learned new foods along the way! The monkey in this app simultanously uses sign language when speaking, and can teach kids with language delays how to express their wants and needs through signs. I work with kids with developmental delays and will surely recommend this app to parents whose kids are having difficulty acquiring expressive and/or receptive language.
Love Feed Maxi App!

This app is amazing for young toddlers learning vocabulary and language! My 2.4 year old son is glued to it and goes to it every time he gets on the iPad. I see he knows concepts I didn't even think he understood, and is now aware of all sorts of new foods...I think he will be more likely now to try new foods ;). I can also see how it builds his confidence. I love when he says "ouchiewawa you're strong" to his older sister when she plays rough with him. The programming is brilliant and clearly shows they know how the minds of little ones work! I'm excited to see if he learns sign language too. Thank you Speak Eazy Apps!
Amazing app!!!!

This app is wonderful. I started using it with my kindergarten students and they love it. It is extremely user friendly and exciting for the kids. The graphics are great and Maxi is cute, always jumping around and giggling. Many apps don't allow you to track data but Feed Maxi does. I find that to be very helpful, as I can keep track of my students and email the information to myself and/or parents. I highly recommend this app to parents, ESL, speech, reading and early intervention teachers. It is worth every penny!
Great app!!!!!

Love this app. My 3 year old son loves to feed Maxi. He is using some of the sing language that he has learned. I do not have to prompt him to use the app, he uses it on his own. He is learning new words and his compression is expanding. He is repeating the words as Maxi says them. Great app.
Good learning tool
OccitaneMom
Finally a speech therapy tool with nice graphics! It's easy to use and it's nice that it includes ASL signs. The only complaint I have is that it gives the child the answer right away when they get it wrong, so they can just pick random things the first time. I would like to be able to change the settings so that they have to try finding it themselves a few times before it gives them the answer.
Engaging game

We previewed Feed Maxi at a recent special needs expo on Long Island. At first try our son just enjoyed making "Maxi" jump and wasn't too concerned with the activities. Once the app was purchased and loaded on the IPad our son quickly got the hang of feeding Maxi and playing with the other features. Our son easily remained engaged for 20 to 30 minutes at a time if we let him, and after more than two months he continues to return to the game, has increased his difficulty level and improved his accuracy. We are happy to give Feed Maxi a strong recommendation for young or developmentally delayed children. The game options allow some customization for your child and the screen is interesting for the child without being over stimulating. An update adding higher levels of activity may be appropriate as our son reaches the most difficult level, although he still enjoys spending time with this app. For comparison, our son is 16 years old, a stroke survivor, he has physical as well as developmental delays. He experiences visual and auditory processing delays and has a limited attention span. The fact that this app can hold his attention for as long as it does is a tribute to its designer.
Love this app! More please!

My 9 year old, non verbal son, with autism loves this app!! The one sign he knows is "more." He plays with it over and over. Please create more apps similar to this!
