Sound Touch Reviews

Why the back arrow?!

CoolTurtle31

This app was perfect...until the back arrow was added to go back to the main screen. My toddler loves this app but isn’t old enough to understand the need to push the arrow to go to a new picture. PLEASE please go back to the version with NO arrow required.

Not just for babies!

Mrs.Pink2018

My 8 years old son is autistic and nonverbal - he LOVES these Sound Touch apps! We’ve had them on his iPad for years, and he still plays with them regularly. It was simple for him to learn to control - literally with a touch. The repetition of the words paired with pictures is great vocabulary practice for receptive language. Also, having 5 different pictures with the same name helps him generalize things within a category (ex. dogs can be different sizes, shapes, and colors and still be “dogs”). It has helped desensitize him to sounds that used to upset him, like police sirens, elephant trumpeting, and rooster crowing. I have recommended all the Sound Touch apps to therapists and teachers and told them to share with other parents of children with special needs. (And I always show them how to turn on the voiceover in “settings”?.) Great app...and not just for babies!!

My special needs son loves this app!

My son is hard of hearing and has some vision impairment. He loves to listen to the sounds and look at all of the animals. I was happy to learn the new update now has sight words added to the pictures. I do think that the color of the words, the greyish background and font style needs to be re-considered for a young person learning to read AS WELL as a child who is visually impaired. The font style needs to be a standard font used in textbooks, a larger size and needs to have a enough contrast between it and it's background color to be read. I understand that you didn't want to cover the pictures with the words, but the word box is too 'visually crowded' to be read easliy. If you squint while trying to read it you will see what I mean. The strokes in the font are also too close together. Otherwise I love this app. ***back again! Thank you so much for adjusting the font style! It is so much better now. I also agree with a couple of the therapists who commented about adding a sound identification feature to be used in Audio Visual Therapy. Kids and adults with cochlear implants as well as kids with hearing loss would benefit by having an option to either choose from a few pictures to tell what sound is being played or even just having a way for the voice/text identifier to be delayed to allow for a guess. Good work!

Upgrades are Advertisements

Mark SD

The app is actually very good but the developers are using upgrade announcement to get eyes focused on their pitch for their other apps. This wouldn't be quite as annoying if the upgrades were significant features, the app wasn't so enormous requiring large downloads, or they didn't put the sales pitch as the first lines of the description of the upgrade.

Need generalizations

Helpkids

Let me start by saying I LOVE LOVE LOVE this app. In future updates, I would love to see an option for generalized categories. When I want a child to learn "monkey" I am not ready to teach them "Gibbon". I understand that chimpanzees and gorillas are not really monkeys, so limit the types if you must...but I would like the option to teach babies the common word over specific species.
