Too many pictures are low quality or too busy. I would like to be able to edit the pictures. The pictures keep me from really being able to use this expensive app with my kids in therapy.

I am so disappointed. I have been using the free version of this for a little while, but the $10 price tag was rather steep. I finally went ahead and bought the full version, but feel completely swindled. Level E (free version) is not at all indicative of the paid levels. Many of the levels have very poor quality drawings that are difficult to interpret. And, many of the drawings and pictures are not appropriate for using with children. No need to have pictures of naked children, Elvis in the women's lingerie department, men dancing with inflatable dolls or pictures of beer cans. Additionally, the pictures that you have chosen are amazingly lacking in cultural diversity. As a teacher I often recommend apps to parents, but I will only recommend the free version of this app. I wish I could get my money back.

The exercises in the app were seem quite simple (to an adult), but they are really exactly right. What is dreary in a paper book, with no physical activity to reenforce the learning, is just right on the iPad, where the simple dragging and dropping makes an exercise into a game. Some apps are you should just download and get startered. If you have young children (or a young person who wants to practice English!), just get this one.

To respond to the previous review, it confused me for a minute too. You drag the direction square over to the one that it describes, and it will reveal the square. A picture is shown when it is done. Haven't bought the unlock yet, but I think I may do it. It looks like something that would be good for my speech/language students to do independently.

The idea behind this app has great possibilities, but there are several significant issues. The graphics for the blackline drawings are so poor the pictures are frequently unrecognizable. Also, was it really necessary to use photos of naked children in the Verbs section? With those pictures in the app I cannot even consider using the app with my speech therapy students. I truly regret that I paid for the full version of the app. Please fix these issues!
