What happened?
I have used several Hamaguchi apps and really liked them but this one has failed. In recent months after 1 sentence it crashes. Very frustrating and makes it very unlikely that I will continue to pay for apps from this developer.

Description
If you love our First Phrases app, you’ll love this app too! Fun with Verbs & Sentences is the next step up for children who are learning to speak in sentences, understand past and present verb tensing, and formulate basic sentence structures.
This app is developed for language ages 3-6 with eye-popping color drawings and 266 delightful animations--a cutting-edge way to show and teach action words! For a demonstration of this app, please check out our YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUcYWlJ27yw .
This app is for the iPad and is our “full” version. It provides a fun way to visually show left to right sentence building (early literacy concepts) and sequence the parts of a sentence in the right order. This full version allows up to 75 users and groups and data tracking.
Want to show animations simply to elicit sentences and verb forms? Just select the "Watch & Say" activity--also a great pre/post assessment tool. Select the verbs from 39 choices or random, and choose the target sentence structures.
But this app does more! Play the "Build a Sentence" activity:
1) Choose your subject: There are three character choices in this app: a boy, a girl, and a bear. You can even opt to select "he" and "she" for extra pronoun practice!
2) Then choose your verb: The next step is choosing something for the girl to do. Use the Custom Verb setting or random. (There are always 3 picture choices, such as draw, jump, or eat). Let's choose "draw".
3) Choose your object or prepositional phrase: The last step is choosing something for the child to draw. (Choices for draw include: cat, spider, or cat).
4) The narrator now voices each part of the sentence slowly, as the circles flip around, one at a time, to reveal the associated pictures: “The girl…is drawing…a cat.” Unless de-selected, the narrator will then model the sentence at a quicker speaking pace, “The girl is drawing a cat.” The child is complimented for the sentence and then instructed, “After the video, it will be YOUR turn to say the sentence.”
5) The animation that shows the sentence that was created (i.e., “The girl is drawing a cat”) is now shown, typically with a sound effect. If the verb is present tense, (which is the default) it snaps back and loops continually, without sound.
6) The child is asked, “What is happening? Tell me the whole sentence.” The circles below can be tapped to show the associated pictures or tapped again to hear the associated audio. The child taps “Record” and tries to formulate the target sentence, then touches “Stop”.
The child listens to the target phrase by touching a “Check” button that pops up, and compares to his own recording. If used in therapy, the data tracking features on the left can be used. (This can be de-selected within the settings if no desired)
*If past tense verb forms have been selected, the animation is shown only once and the narrator asks, “What happened?” If the user would like to target the verb only, this can be selected in the settings, with the question being asked, “What is the girl doing?” (or “What did the girl do?” for past tense)
7) A reward game can be played at desired intervals, the “Pop It!” Game. The child touches bubbles on a screen until a selected “prize” is found.
Settings allow the user to select pronouns he/she and the target syntax structures (Subject + verb,Subject + verb + subject or Subject + Verb + prepositional phrase). Data collection for users and groups!

Loved it and now I don’t
My students loved the app and it was great until this week. I work online and now when I share it to my student screen it crashes. Very disappointed as are my students. Wasted money
Too much math!!!!
I use this app a lot with my students, but it is ridiculous that every time I want to email or print their scores, I have to do two digit math to prove I am an adult! 😡 Also, I have kids who struggle with using “I”. It would be awesome if there was an emoji picture we could use to represent the child and put them into the sentence to work on that concept.
Record playback not working
Great app! I see that the bug was fixed for record playback but mine does not work. I haven't used the app for awhile, this seems to be the only glitch. Thank you.
every bug is fix
the recording and video playing problems are finally fixed by na upgrade! thanks!
Bug fix but no pause button
I loved the ability to pause and replay the same scene for repetition and extra practice. Bring it back...please! :)
Need to fix!
I love this app however since the latest iPad update it no longer show the videos. Also it would be great if it could be expanded to include plural subjects and verb forms.
retired SLP
This is an excellent app for children with Autism & Apraxia. Since I am retired I volunteer and have found this app to be particularly useful with a child who is severely Apraxic/Autistic who is gaining oral output while using ACC. It provides such wonderful incremental input with great repetition options. Thanks so much!
Great for learning to putting 2-3 words together
I really like using this app in speech therapy for kids that are just learning to put 2-3 words together. One of my favorite parts is that it is not continually responsive to their touching parts of the screen. They learn quickly to make their selection and then wait to see what happens. Nonverbal kids love seeing their selections put into action.
Another winner!
I love this app. I use it in therapy with my students who have autism, apraxia and language delays. They all love the animations and structure that enables them to make longer sentences. Thanks for another winner!
