Horrible app, poorly worded questions

Autismfrog on

I am extremely disappointed with this app. I have been very pleased with Conversation Builder and was hoping for another quality app with Question Builder. Most of the questions have very little to do with inference, but focus more on counting (how many children, leaves, apples, etc. are in the picture). One picture shows a partially exposed alligator in a river. The question is, "where are the other alligators?". I would infer that the other alligators were in the river as well, however the correct answer is, "I don't know". There are questions where clearly incorrect answers are 'correct'. For example, one question asks how many red flowers are in the picture. The answer is "2" but there are NO red flowers in the picture. Another question is, "Where did the kids get their lunches?". The "correct" answer is that they were packed by their moms, however, the child is clearly eating a school lunch with hot food on a tray. Yet another question asks, "where did the tomatoes learn to sing?" (yup, singing tomatoes). The answer is not at school or in the garden, but "from their teacher". Additionally, there are grammatical and spelling errors throughout (sandals are spelled "sandels", etc. ). Do not waste your money, this app will only frustrate you and your children/students.

No question about it!

This app is really good for children with disabilities who need extra help understanding questions that are being asked. Awesome app! Thank you.

Very good

They love it! on

As an elementary school English as a second language teacher, I find that many of Mobile Education Stores' apps are great! I use Question Builder because the students must think critically in order to choose the correct answer to a question supported by a colorful picture on the screen. I like that the question choices include plausible, but incorrect answer choices. You can raise or lower the level of difficulty in the settings menu. One thing that is missing however, is the option to have the iPad read the answer choices. The questions can be read aloud, but students must be readers to choose an answer, making this app unusable as a listening comprehension game for young students who are not yet able to read. When the students correctly answer, there are some funny animated characters that come out and cheer for them. Likewise, there are words of encouragement if they answer incorrectly. The app has a statistics page so you can monitor the students' progress. One problem I have with the app is that you cannot go from a sentence that you are building to the settings or statistics page until/unless you correctly build the sentence. This creates unnecessary hassle if you want to quickly check-in on a student's progress or change the difficulty.

Interesting App...

Seanmsmithers on

While the app does what it says, asks questions to students and help them create meaning/comprehension... I feel like the voice is pretty monotone and the entire thing is not very exciting or engaging for children. I feel like they can make this app far more exciting for children with a little creativity.

Nice app for questions and syntax

WinterSLP on

This app is great for answering questions, but also, working on answering in a complete sentence. I agree with one of the other reviews in that this app requires you to pay attention to the question to make sure you answer appropriately. One in particular is a picture of a girl and a snowman and the question is, "What are the snowman's arms made of?" So many kids automatically say snow and I have to remind them to listen and I repeat the question. After that they do a much better job of listening and focusing on what exactly was asked. It would be nice for non readers if like in Conversation Builder Teen you had a way to hear each sentence by pressing a button. I understand that would be a lot of work so it may not be possible or at least not happen for some time. Also, two things I noticed in the What section, the girl looks like she is wearing a pink dress not a red dress as the answer states and the girl in the wheelchair picture has the answer of "There is a piano is in front of her". Overall, I really like this app. Any chance for when and who to be added?

This is a great app. I work with students that are hard of hearing and students with multiple disabilities. The best feature for me is the data keeping feature. I like that you can what type of questions you can work on. It is an easy app to use that doesnt require prep time. The reward features are entertaining. This is a fun app that helps my students work on this skill. My students choose To play this app over over wh question card games.

Another great app by Mobile Education!

Debra Powell on

Another great app by Mobile Education Tools! My daughter is Autistic and it has really helped her. It helps her to look at the pictures and ask the correct question. She loves the characters that praise her when she gets the correct answer. Great motivation! It has helped her to ask and answer questions better in conversation. Excellent app!

Must Have App for SLPs

rrvjean on

I have been using Question Builder for almost eight weeks with a handful of students in speech services. They are engrossed in the app and do not even realize they are working. With all of the emphasis on data driven decision making in schools today I love that it provides me with feedback on the students progress. Accountability is essential at all levels in todays educational system. This is a most have app of all educational SLPs.

Excellent design. Built in reinforcement. Immediate feedback. This app does everything right. My child will attend to it for 20 questions. He does it independently. Quite a feat for an autistic child. I love seeing him have success and feel he can learn so much using this.

Sentence Builder

Great app! My son's Speech Therapist recommended this to help him use more words in communicating. We already had been using other Mobile Education apps like Question Builder and Language Builder and have found this one to be just as helpful.
