Great app
Janet OT
I love this app! It is easy to use but still a challenge. I am an OT in the schools. This is great for eye-hand coordination, fine motor in general as well as a great way to work on following directions. Love it!!!!
Great App!

I LOVE using this app in therapy! I only have a few wishes that would make this a 5 star app! * ability to rotate shapes in addition to sizing them * ability to 'glue' pieces together, beyond just the people shapes * add more 'prop' types pieces (ex. Bananas for the monkeys!) * A 'gallery' or some way to save pictures you've made with the ability to go back and adjust them or finish them- I feel so bad during therapy if students didn't get to finish and I have another group next that needs to use the app, the first kids lose their work! These changes would make it 5 stars!
Open ended fun!

This brings back memories of my kindergarten when felt boards were used. This is open ended enough that children can play/create a lot of scenes. I love that a person can glue the body pieces where he/she wants them. I would like to see a few more props like a firefighter's hat. This is a nice application.
Nice app for therapy

I am excited to have a new scene-making app in my repertoire. It looks like it will be an engaging way to work on expressive and receptive language. My four year old also enjoyed it. Keep in mind that some kids may need help scrolling through the felt pieces, as it is very easy to accidentally select pieces (but it's also easy enough to throw away the pieces that you don't want).
Nice straight-forward app

I like that once a piece is set on top of the other (e.g. boots on the girl) they all move together, yet you can still move them when directly selected unless you "glue" them. Clever design! The general look and feel is nice, very much like a real felt board. I wish you could put pieces you decided not to use back in the side tray, versus the recycle bin in the corner. This may be confusing for some children. Also, it's a little difficult to scroll in the side tray - when I intended to scroll I kept accidentally selecting items and getting frustrated when multiples piled on the board. This is a very fun app for kids of a variety of ages; I would definitely use this in my speech therapy sessions. It may be a little hard for kids with less developed motor systems to navigate and control, but overall is pretty easy to use. I would love to see more "themes" e.g. common stories (Jack and the Beanstalk etc)
Great alternative to traditional felt board!

I loved the variety of scenes/backgrounds that children can work with to create their stories. I also liked the diversity in the characters that can be dressed, played with, etc. Also there are many more categories in this app compare to other scene making apps. This is a great app and unlike any other of its kind. I love the app as both a parent and a teacher. My son (2) was able to easily make scenes to tell stories. I was also able to re-create scenes from stories to retell to my students. This is a great app and makes a great alternative to a traditional felt board.
Nice for narrative language

Good app for developing narrative language skills: kids can construct a picture and then tell a story about it. Also see uses in the classroom, with the teacher using the app to help illustrate a story or demonstrate a concept. Would like to see some technical fixes, such reducing accidental placements (it seems very touchy and I would often 'place' something while trying to scroll through options), to make this a more seamless application.
