I love this app! It's been a very fun way to work on 3 word phrases but mostly to get the article "the" in a phrase for my preschoolers. The animations are very cute. I also find I can pause them and ask, "what is he doing?" and elicit "ing" verbs too.

There should be a way to disable the pause button because my clients with autism fixate on pushing it repeatedly. Also, they should disable the feature that pauses activity each time you touch the screen bc younger children tend to want to touch the cat which pauses his activity. There is also a problem w/ the record button freezing each time the app launches

The features of this app are noteworthy and a pleasant surprise. I am using it with my child who has autism. He has been stuck a bit at the singular word level. The touching of the words in order is having an amazing effect, likewise also he is entranced with hearing his own voice and will practice many times. I am very happy with its features- no negative issues here. Very excellent app, well thought out. Would love the option to have a British narrator to speak the phrases.

Great app. Very good for autistic child who is reluctant to speak. Daughter loves it. One issue we have is sometimes the app is slow to recognize touch and it can be a little frustrating. Fix that and you definitely get 5 with me! Love it.

I used this app today with 2 very different students -- one nonverbal working on basic communication, the other with poor intelligibility. Both students were highly motivated to work! They enjoyed seeing the results of their "efforts". Definitely want to purchase the full version of this!

Don't love the animations (look like really simple power point) and the child I did speech therapy with needed longer to record her phrase. We ran out of time nearly every time.

I used this app quite often and the kids loved it. Unfortunately it doesn't work right any longer. I get the same verb every time. I tried changing things in settings but it didn't help. "Drop the___" gets old real fast. I'd love the app if this could be fixed.
