Design & Game Play:
Tap-N-See Now was designed to incorporate Dr. Roman-Lantzy's common characteristics of CVI.

Adorable hand-drawn images dance around the screen one at a time, appealing to a child's preference for movement. The use of a single image against a solid background helps eliminate visual clutter while the use of highly saturated colors makes the image easier to see. Touching the image results in a reward sound as the image grows in size.

Customizable:
All aspects of the app are fully customizable to meet your child's needs. Both the animals and background can be set to your child's preferred color. Particular images can be chosen to adapt to the level of complexity that works best for your child. How you interact with the image and what kind of reward is triggered is also highly customizable.

All these settings make it possible for the app to adapt to your child's expanding visual and physical ability!

Settings:
The settings allow you to:

Choose between 5 loveable animals or purchase any of 11 additional image packs.
Choose from a variety of highly saturated background and image colors.
Select how big the image appears on the screen.
Select how quickly the image moves around the screen.
Choose from 10 unique reward sounds to play when the image is touched.
Select from a variety of other motion and touch settings that make the app accessible even for those with limited movement.

I am a Teacher of the Visually Impaired who works with many CVI students with multiple disabilities. This app is excellent! Many of my students prefer a red or yellow animal against a black background. Please make more apps for CVI kids!

Great app to get kids' attention until the update. When settings selected the app shuts down now so pretty useless until fixed.


Absolutely Great App

This is my go to app for kids with low vision, cortical visual impairment or kids needing to learn cause and effect. In this app you learn to visually sight and then target an animal against a choice(s) of background colors. There are many features that make this app customizable for each individual child, i.e. specific animal and background color, their size and speed, and reinforcement sounds. A really unique feature is the magnetic finger, which allows the user to tap the screen and the animal comes to the user's finger. That feature alone in teaching cause and effect - the concept of "I do, I get" at it's most beginning level is tremendous. Customer service for this app is also awesome. The developer really cares about making this app successful.


Great for CVI
Kadidit

Thank you for creating this simple and effective app. My daughter has CVI. She is functionally blind, yet sees. Her vision continues to improve as she is visually engaged with appropriate motivators. This app is appropriately motivating and visually engaging. The ability to change the size of the animal and speed of travel allows for growth within the app. Would be great if you could evolve and allow iPad playlist access as well for the reinforcer.


Great
KristinTVI

This app is fantastic, as a TVI, I use this with several of my students for scanning, visual attention, and visual motor goals. I have a suggestions - could you integrate more complex backgrounds, starting from simple and getting more complex? I have a goal that this would be a great introduction to, as look and find books are a bit too complex.


Hard to activate
R0how

It would be better if you could just touch to activate instead of lifting your hand off the object to sctivate, my son will touch the object and wait for the resoonse but by the time he lifts his hand the object has moved. Disapointed
