Sounds App
I like this app however once completed, its takes a long time to restart. It seems to stick on the last page. It seems to be faulty and can be very annoying when youre child wants to play again.
Cool idea, needs work
This app has the right idea behind the concepts of auditory discrimination and also sound identification, which are crucial skills for speech/language development and pre-reading skills. Love it that it is free. The contrast between the white background and the colorful pictures is great. Needs Improvement in these areas: - voice-over fades and gets louder and is sometimes overpowered by the audio of the item to find - pictures are realistic but resolution is a bit grainy - sizing on screen is off...does it keep running data at the top of the screen? (Really great idea for we educators!) Cant tell for sure, as that part is mostly hidden - a slight delay between launching and the first task beginning would be helpful Fix these areas and I will definitely share this app with colleagues.
This a great start!
Im giving it 5 stars because this is exactly the type of app we love to see, want to see more of, and its starting out free! This is great for parents and teachers of young children and especially children with special needs. Keep putting apps out like this and you will win my support and $$s. Thank you for this:)
Good start
This app has great pictures and sound effects. Sometimes the sounds overrides the speech. I would also like to see the developers label the correct answer along with the praise. I also have had trouble at the end. When the score comes, it seems to freeze up and I have to delete and reinstall to play again. I hope all this gets fixed because I like so many things about this app.
Suggestion
Perhaps add an input delay between questions? My daughter loves the app but she taps the answer more than once and may get the next one correct right away, causing two sounds to play at once for the question after that. Thanks.
