Splingo

I find it hard to grasp that not only do you have to pay for the app but then you constantly have to pay over and over again for the rest of the app.

I wish there were more ways to customize the games. The kids hyper fixated on the reaction of the alien to their answers making it difficult to know how much they are understanding and how much is just to get a reaction from the alien. Make it so we can turn that off please!! Love it outside of that.

I bought these all as individual apps a few years ago and I just bought a new iPad and transferred everything over; however, the new version is consolidated into 1 app but will not let me restore any of these apps that I’ve already purchased. What a rip off. Now, I have to contact Apple to see if there’s anything that they can do. There’s no way to contact the developers of these Splingo apps either.

I bought a few of the modules and at first bit was exciting - simple word choices (2 object shows, “fund the ball” reward offered, great little rewards BUT same rewards over and over so got voting words were not really everyday (tigers and castles and kings instead of regular daily living words like toothbrush and other household items ), and only about 50 words being targeted Then we ran out of words and bought the next one along (you buy each module One by one) . It was crazy difficult and the game mechanics did not work (eg spatial game “put the ball under the table”…but the ball would not go under the table. two adults trying for ten minutes could not get the ‘entry arrow’ to accept the ball) and the language universe was wildly abstract (eg picture of a king and another person, 9 -13 objects of varying sizes and categories. and three conceptual levels deep ….”put the aeroplane behind the kings chair” Such a huge leap from “find the ball” with only two objects presented and demotivating

The idea and what they are trying to do with the app is great. However, it will jump to the next screen before you finish your work or even start it.

I had high hope with this app but I’m disappointed.

The sound doesn’t work. I have even purchased additional learning modules. Do not buy; save your money. I should have listened to the other reviews, about the sound issue.

Downloaded the app for the early words for my toddler. There is no music, no voice, nothing. I’ve gone into settings and tapped the speaker button and nothing changes. Disappointing. If it gets fixed I’d download the app again, it looks entertaining for the littles.

This is one of the first apps I ever downloaded! It is engaging and challenging for all of my speech-language therapy students! I have one student who is mostly nonverbal who requests this app by name each week. I also love all of the other Splingo apps! So much fun for all of my students. Thank you and please keep updating and creating more Splingo apps!

The sound is currently not working.
