Good but not perfect – Fun With Directions HD Review

I'm a mother to preschoolers who have just been tested for their IEP. I was very interested in the forms the testing took and the holes it revealed in their knowledge. One of the tests included how well they followed directions, located objects based on referential data (next to the purple car), and remembered multiple step directions. These are basic skills but my children were obviously developing them differently. This app is a basic version of what I hoped to find. Overall it helps their listening skills and works on some colors, positions, etc. I did find it not as polished from an "entertain the kid" learning game perspective. There's no flashy reward for getting it right. It's not obvious why some games ask for touching and others dragging (kids trying to carefully finger erase instead of drag and drop). I didn't know you could scroll through the right bar of objects and kept wondering why it asked for objects not on the screen. The random concept option obviously isn't quite random. Still, this addresses the concepts I wanted to work on, so great!
