What’s That Sound?

I liked the app conceptually. However it was too simple. I wish there was more variety on sounds--my 2 year old scored 100% her 2nd time and my 4 year old was bored.

I have read a lot of reviews from Speech Therapists. I am one too. I work with deaf and hard of hearing children. I would love to be able to turn off the prompts, option to play the sound again, and option to add/remove pictures from the choices. Then this app would get used everyday and recommended to ALL of my colleagues.

This an excellent app and one I wish there was more of. I am a speech therapist with experience in pediatrics and adults. I use this app for my adults who have suffered strokes and have aphasia and are having trouble identifying basic sounds. I used it with kids as well as a warm up activity to "get their ears ready" for discriminating phonemes. I wish there were more sounds or different levels...perhaps sets of 10 sounds. Also as another user mentioned, the option to turn off the prompt and also replay the sound. Sometimes my geriatric patients need to hear the sound again and I have to select a wrong choice for them to hear it again and then they have to listen to then 'try again' message.. All in all one of my go to apps for discrim.

Good start. Please update to add options to turn off spoken prompts. They are presented too close to the primary stimuli; moreover, they just add confusion for kids who really have difficulty with auditory discrimination of environmental sounds. Add side feature to repeat the targeted environmental sound before selection. In training, a very important support for clients/kids is to just "hear it again" to be sure of selection. Also, some of the auditory prompts are too brief and/or are relatively low in volume. :-). One more suggestion..Please add two lower levels for 1)the individual item on screen with touch presentation of its sound and 2)a choice between two items. It would be great to have all this in current version; yet many of us would accept a very small cost differential to get the advantages of these suggested options/updates. Would appreciate feedback on my comments from developers and other purchasers. Thanks ..from a therapist in Ohio.

I use this app with some of my hard of hearing clients who are working on auditory discrimination. It would be nice if there was a replay function if they are not able to identify the sound on the first trial. Also it would be nice if you could increase the number of pictures displayed.

I LOVE this app and use it frequently in speech therapy to develop listening skills. However, the Play Again button at the end of the game, in the box with the score display, does not work. I have to turn off my iPad and turn it back on in order to get the game to restart. Please fix this feature. I would give it 5 stars if the button worked! Thanks, P. A.

I was so excited when I found this so I downloaded it. I'm using it with a 2 year old with no learning delays but has no concept of listening for directions or questions on a few of his other games so I thought short sounds would help instead of long questions. But this app seemed to make it harder. There is no repeat button if you miss the sound for a short attention span this is a must!!!! When you do get an answer right its kinda boring, its needs to be more exciting so you cant wait to get the next question right to see what happens next. If my child goes crazy and just pushes all the pics the sounds do not match sometimes for 3 screens that totally defeats the purpose. If we do manage to get to the last questions it's frozen and we can move on but when you tap play again the next game it working in the background not cool! Like some other reviewers said fix it I would also pay $2.99 if it works correct.

I agree with reviewer number 5. I love the app but it is almost unusable because my son double taps triggering the next sound and you sometimes get two sounds at once. I hope it can be fixed soon.

My son has special needs and the concept for this app is fantastic. Just wish it didn't have the issue if taps the correct answer more than once. I have to close it each time to resolve it, so frustrating.

A nice simple app that does a good job for what it is. Nothing fancy but it works for younger kids. Keep up the good work.
