OK - but needs work – Sequences for Kids Review

I like the idea of this app, but in using it (v. 1.0.3) with my English language learners I have been very frustrated by the fact that it does not model good English. The words and the audio to go with a picture of a boy getting dressed might say, for example, "Puts shirts [sic] and pants" instead of "He puts on his shirt and pants". I can turn the text and audio off in the settings, but I want my students to hear a voice other than mine and to be associating the words with the text. It would not have been any extra effort to put complete sentences with each picture and it would have made the app much better. I do like that there are sequences of 3, 4 and 5 pictures, to make the app gradually more challenging. There are a total of just 10 sequences in the version I have - two 3 picture sequences, four with 4 pictures, and 4 with 5 pictures. I am guessing the update with in-app purchases would allow me to buy more. Fortunately, the app does have a feature that lets you create your own sequences and that makes it a 4 star app instead of a 2 star one for me. This will be the most useful part of the app for me. Athough it will take some work to set the new sequences up, I can make sure the language is correct and create customized sequences to match in-class work. Once i have some set up, then my students will go to the Custom tab to choose their activities.
