It gets the job done...

This is my 9th year to have children participate in AWANA. I found this app for my children in Sparks and bought both the Memory-HG and Memory-SS apps. I found them to be a bit pricey compared to other apps but decided to get them because they allow me to record my voice saying the verses and also have a little song that goes with each one. Unfortunately, the link/buttons don't always appear to work. After playing in the app it appears that if you press one of the buttons the action has to play all the way through before you can move on. The app doesn't have a help section and when I came to iTunes to contact the designer, Mr. Battle, to ask a question, the contact section has a broken link. :( Maybe he will see this review and reply here....QUESTION: My child accidentlly pressed the "Memorized" verse button in the app. The verse isn't memorized and I can't find anywhere where I can change it back to "Not memorized yet." I don't always have my children's books in front of me when we are reviewing verses so it would be really helpful to be able to change that. I can see this happening often since the buttons are close together. Is there a way to change the status? Overall the app is okay. It gets the job done and my children use it.

This is the most amazing app!!!

I'm a homeschooling mama of 8 and we have been doing AWANA for 10 years. These Sparks apps have made memorization and review a breeze. I currently have two Sparkies - one practices with the song (second grader) and one practices with the spoken version (kindergartener) of each verse. The app allows them to study independently freeing me up to do other things, then they bring me their app to review all the verse they have learned each day. It is easy for me to glance and see where they are and they are actually retaining all of their verse. PLEASE develop apps for the T&T books!!!!!!

Misleading
awana mom

It doesn’t actually have the songs. Total waste of money since that’s the only reason I purchased it. Buyer beware.

Love it

Greatly enjoy practicing verses with my girls on the go, having the app on my phone avoids us accidentally misplacing or loosing their actual awana book. My girls enjoy singing along to the verses as well.

What happened to the songs?!!!

I am notorious for not updating my phone or apps. I got a new phone, updated os, updated apps. And now I have no Sparks songs. ? The verses are there, but nowhere to play songs. Please help! We rely heavily on those songs!!
