It's a fun educational game for young children, as well as a proven useful tool in kids' language development. It stars Pogg, a little green alien who can do all sorts of things.
Pogg is built on the open question, “What should Pogg do now?”, allowing you to type in whatever you like, and Pogg will most likely be able to do it – type in “run” and he’ll go for a run… type in “cook” and he cooks!
You can also watch all of Pogg’s actions through Picture Mode, which presents each action as an easy to press icon.
Pogg is receiving consistently high ratings from parents, teachers, game reviewers, speech therapists and disability workers. It has found a warm place in the hearts of special education children and their teachers and parents, and received the endorsement of multiple speech therapists as well as being cited in publications as a useful app for helping the language development of special education students.
"It is without doubt one of the best games for kids I have seen in the App Store. It is creative and useful, and just plain fun." (iPhone Footprint review)
If you like fun, you’ll like Pogg :)

Pogg did not understand gun or shoot. Am very disappointed:( pogg should get smarter. he very stupid stupid. like comon how stupid can he be and so stupid and stupid did i mention that he’s stupid. So stupid and extremely stupid. He is so stupid that he is stupid and just stupid. VERY STUPID just i cant he is so stupid. I cannot define how stupid he is because he is so stupid because he reminds me of stupid. Imagine being stupid, couldn’t be me because i’m not stupid he is stupid. Pogg is stupid and just stupid and he just made pogg even more stupider even after 6 years he still stupid so stupid. I cant believe how stupid pogg is and stupid and he gets stupider and just stupid. He’s pretty smart but he’s still stupid. Pogg is the stupiest thing on earth. He looks stupid, he sounds stupid. He smells stupid. He tastes stupid. he sounds stupid. he feels stupid. Just so stupid i cant, pogg is stupid and you cannot change my mind. So stupid and stupid. he gets stupider by the minute. hes so stupid that he makes grendades go boom and he just so stupid and stupid is pogg is. I give up on pogg and he is so stupid. Next time i see him I will grab a microwave and throw it at him. I give Pogg a stupid out of 10 Sincerely, Someone who is not stupid and who hates stupid since thats Pogg

I love Pogg and so do the children I work with. As a speech pathologist for young children, I can use Pogg in so many ways. I wish you could add more actions!!
No sound

No Sound so don’t waste your money like I did. Furthermore, very limited vocabulary. I do I get a refund?
Good Idea - Not Worth It

This app was recommended in a webinar that I took. I thought it would be worth a try. It’s just okay. It doesn’t have enough actions for my clients and the lack of visual stimuli between selections makes it a 2-star app for me.
Great app for therapists working with kids!

I love Pogg!!! I have used it for many years after learning about Pogg in an alternative/augmentative communication (AAC) course. I can give them choices or ask them to tell me what they want Pogg to do using their talker or a communication board. There’s lots of research in video modeling so Pogg could be developed further and become an even more useful tool. He’s such a great tool!!!
My Kids love it!

Very Cute!

This is a very cute app! The animations are well done and certainly something kids will enjoy. My daughter thinks a lot of what the alien does is funny. I like the two options in control- either through typing in the command or by selecting a picture of what you want him to do. This makes the app something children can grow with. I do wish that the alien would say the word in his alien voice so that it would reinforce learning to write out the words to kids. I hope there will be updates with even more words and animations. Overall a well done cute app for kids! I recommend it.
Intense

Dude! THIS IS SICK! Intense I also think that there a parent restriction on it also. He should do more things you could block that are more bad. There should also be some mini games.
Huge potential
KellCat
Great idea, but a few issues. -keeps freezing/closing on iPad 2 -should use all verbs, so SHAKE, not BELL, KICK, not BALL, etc. That would make it much more useful as a special needs app. Looking forward to updates!!
