The speaker is British. So that's not so good for Americans. But I will mute the sound and just say the words myself. There are many pictures to choose from and the pictures are good. The data at the end of a session is very helpful. However, you cannot add a student's name nor does it keep track of previous sessions. So that's a problem. With updated data tracking and the ability to add specific student names, this would be a good app.
