My son loves this simple app and we love adding our own voices to the letters and adding our own pictures.

response required

Will no longer allow me to set up a quiz and keeps saying it doesn't have enough selections to set up a quiz and I have everything selected in different varieties and nothing works. App keeps freezing up and will not let me add pictures or my voice!

Even babies < 1 year can use it

I really like the app but what I would like to see is an option to present the letters when I want to. I want to present 1letter at a time and add each letter as my child masters that letter. I would also like the option for the child to NOT make an error. In other words if the child picks the wrong letter I would like it if the app wouldn't say or do anything. I would like it if the app only responds to the correct response. I would also like to see the app give a prompt or "clue" when the child picks the wrong letter. In other words once the child gets a wrong answer the app could highlight the correct response and say "this is the letter a" and then go back to the original question. It would also help if the child makes the error that the app repeats the same question over and over until the child gets the answer correct. This would keep a child from receiving verbal or visual reinforcement for an incorrect response as opposed to them scrolling through the answers until they get the correct response. I use this type of app to work with children with autism and if I find an app like what I've described I could utilize it much more than I do. This could be applied to anything (toys, colors, numbers, etc.) that are being taught to children with autism. Most apps I see aren't customizable enough to use as a learning tool for my children who are learning through the unique needs of someone with severe autism.

I use this program for a young woman who has autism and learning delays. I can use it to teach her the symbols we are using for her communication app and we can use photographs to teach her the names of objects as well as allow her the joy of tapping the picture of a loved one and hearing their name or a recorded message. I love that there are so many custom choices. The available choices really expand the ways that this application can be used. A previous reviewer mentioned that she would like to be able to remove verbal responses to incorrect choices as this can is actually reinforce incorrect choices. I was able to do this by going into the section where you can record your own voice to use instead of the program's voice and just recording nothing. One other thing to note, I had a problem with using the program the first day I got it and when I sent an email I got an immediate response. I really appreciate good customer service.
