Good app for generating sentences and stories

This is a very good app for using with elementary aged students who need to work on generating sentences or stories and answering questions. The student is able to record their voice so that they can then listen to their own sentences and discuss their performance. Level 1 and 2 allow the student to record a one sentence response to a clip art photo question. Level 3 allows the student to answer 4 questions about the picture. They can then play the four sentences back as a story. There are a lot of ways this app can be used by teachers and therapists. It can easily be used with general education students as well as students with varying disabilities. This app is definitely worth the money.

Great app for working on improving verbal expression

I am the founder of Innovative Speech Therapy and specialize in empowering families and professionals with the knowledge and strategies to use affordable technologies to help kids and adults who have a wide range of communication challenges. I am very impressed with this app and the responsiveness of the company to my suggestions for improvements. It is truly unique. It took me a few tries to figure out what all the options were and when I would use them. Users really need to take the time to read the text displayed after the info button is pressed to realize the full potential of this app.

In my practice I use this app to work toward a wide variety of goals. It's great for practicing creating sentences and organizing verbal narrative. I also use it to help others improve articulation, fluency, voice, and word retrieval. I am glad that there are options to turn on and off the initial voice with each new picture- some people find it distracting. The recording quality is fantastic and the process is easy. I like being able to save the recordings to document progress. The pictures are colorful and engaging. This app is a great way to work at the sentence and conversational levels and to promote carryover with both kids and adults who benefit from recording themselves and then immediately listening to their speech. Kids find it motivating to send their completed stories over email. It's a great value for only $3.99!

Great app for kids of all ages

This app is entertaining, interesting, and a great learning experience (without the kids even noticing). It teaches imagination, creativity, communication, sentence structure, and listening.
My 4 year old is developmentally delayed and this app allowed her to create her own story step by step. It did require adult assistance. The question prompts were great, the recording was easy, and the play back is fabulous.
My 8 year old also created his own stories. He was able to be more descriptive making the app fun or him. He required no adult assistance though I was there because I wanted to hear his story.
You are able to set up different accounts for each kid and save their own story. I love that the story is in there own voice. That I can create a story today then months later to see the growth of the child. It is easy to use and fun.
There are not many apps both my kids can play (and enjoy). This is an excellent app.

The only thing I would change is the childs log. I wish the kid could just click on their name when it is entered. Also the setting area should be allowed to add a lock to keep the kids from changing the settings.
