Auditory cues don’t match

The auditory cues for the games do not match the correct answers for trials. For example, auditory prompt “smiling” was presented with two choices, a picture of a girl, smiling, and a picture of a child sleeping. When I selected the picture of the girl, smiling, an ex appeared on the picture. When I selected the other picture of a child sleeping, it said it was correct.

Probably a small error in the apps Data or something, but a very fatal flaw that makes this app much less effective.

Please fix this!

2025-04-21

Does not line up

The audio says a completely different word than the photos

2024-10-24

Used to be good

The audio doesn’t match with the pictures. A real shame, because I used to use this app a lot.

2024-04-02

Refund please

Disappointed and would like refund. None of the prompts match a photo. Awful

2024-01-24

Pictures don’t match voice

Wouldn’t bother. Pictures don’t match the voice. Wish I read the review before I bought it. Thankfully it was only .99 cents.

2023-11-25

Broken, mismatched audio to pics

This USED to be a good app when I used it many years ago, but now that I have downloaded it to a new iPad, the audio played does NOT match the pictures shown, rendering it completely useless. For example it will say “cooking” but the correct answer in the game you are supposed to pick for that is a boy swimming.

Please fix, this was a great app!

2023-07-25

Confusing for early learners and incorrect

This app would be great if most all the pictures weren’t incorrect and with incorrect audio. I will be requesting a refund as it’s practically non-functional as it is, hardly anything is correct.

2023-07-12

Audio Does Not Match Pictures/Text

This is a great concept. I love the real photos. I love the different options for learning with the pictures. However, the app will not be as useful to me due to the audio not matching. Please fix so I can leave a better review. Still usable to an extent if audio is off.

2023-03-12

Disappointed!

Pictures are great but don’t match up to the spoken and printed word! This app would be perfect if it weren’t for that.

2023-01-30

It’s not what expected

Sound does not match the pictures. It’s not easy to navigate and back to home page.

2023-01-18

Shuts down since iOS upgrade

This was a good app till they didn’t upgrade when new iOS came out in January 2023

2023-01-12

Waste of money

None of the audio matches the pictures, making the app unusable.

2022-12-13

Pictures do not match with the audio

No good at all. In all the levels and activities the pictures do not match with the audio or the answers. I tried to communicate with them and I was never able to do it.

2022-11-29

Great idea but words don’t match pictures

I will update review once the problem of words not matching the pictures is fixed. Otherwise it can only be used on mute.

2022-11-01

Maybe if the labels were correct

The pictures are great but you touch one and it verbalizes the wrong action word every time

2022-10-18

Robbery

Downloaded the app even though reviews said the voice and video were out of sync (I would have muted it anyway). The app does not open and the links to support do not work. Very frustrated. If the app is obsolete TAKE IT OFF THE APP STORE!!!

2022-07-24

Discord

Pictures do not match the action verbs. For example, the word “kissing” shows a baby in a bathtub, which is “bathing”. ALL of the photos are not matching. Theresa going to be some confused kids in this world,. I’m disappointed in you Innovative Investments, you have a history of outstanding learning apps for kids: how could you let this happen?

2022-01-31

Not what I expected

The actions don’t match the the audio prompts at all. So dissatisfied

2021-11-02

Audio doesn’t match pictures….TRASH!

This app is trash. The audio doesn’t match the pictures. It will be a picture of a lady standing and the audio will say swimming.

2021-06-21

Audio and visual don’t match

The pictures are great, the variety and range of actions are great, but the audio does not match the pictured action. That makes most of the features impossible to use correctly, because it prompts you to find something that doesn’t match. Seems like it should be an easy fix, but it’s been like this for a few years now.

2021-05-26

Unusable

None of t he pictures match the label. Very disappointing. Please fix

2021-05-12

Not what I was hoping for

I was so looking forward to using this app, but then so disappointed to find out that the pictures don’t match the audio prompts!! I will continue to use it, turning the volume down and giving her the cues myself, but I hope they will fix the app because it’s the closest one to the one she’s already using in her speech therapy and loves it! I know she would love to be able to navigate it herself especially the games:):)

2021-05-11

Verbal output is not what the image is showing

The action pictures do no correlate to the words being said aloud. Should be an easy fix.

2021-04-28

App wouldn’t load

After multiple attempts, this never loaded even though I had plenty of storage. I want my .99 back!

2021-02-23

Very Disappointed!

This would be a great app but the pictures are not labeled correctly.

2021-01-20

Says the wrong thing

This would be great to work with my ASD kid. However the words and actions are not matching up

2020-12-08

Words labels do not match up with pictures!!

So frustrating

2020-09-24

TERRIBLE

This app hasn’t worked in months for me. Any suggestions?

2020-09-14

Audio doesn’t Match the picture

The pictures don’t match the words . I would like to get my money back . It is not working.

2020-07-23

Words/Audio don’t match

I’m having the same problem that another user posted. The audio does not match the picture, it appears to be completely random. Great in theory, but that needs to be fixed.

2020-07-08

Not working

It is compatible with my iPad but after starting the app it disappears in a few seconds. It only works on my phone, however, the kids are not allowed to use it. I didn’t get any help either.

2020-06-19

Reviews are true

Yes it would be great app , but does not match what’s being said

2020-05-11

Needs updating

Just downloaded and disappointed because the words aren’t matching up with action.

2020-05-07

Not working right

The app is great and I love it but it doesn’t work right. The pictures do not correlate with the action the person is saying. If you turn the volume all the way off then you can use it. But I hope this issue gets fixed.

2020-05-05

Action verbs

Horrible app nothing is matching up

2020-04-07

Not working properly

The pictures and voice over labels are out of sync

2020-03-20

Audio doesn’t match photo

Photos are great but the audio feedback does not match the current photo. Cannot use this app as is. Very disappointing. Please send a fix.

2020-03-20

Not working properly

The app is exactly what I was looking for and the pictures along with the games are great. However, the pictures do not correlate with the action the person is saying. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times to see if this would correct the problem but it was unsuccessful. I tried to connect with support through the app but it would never take me there. I hate to leave this review because I think the app would be perfect if it was working properly. Hopefully someone from support can contact me or fix this soon.

2020-03-13

Terrible

All of the pictures have the wrong voice recording. For example, a picture of a girl smiling might say “crawling” when it’s clicked.

2020-03-10

Audio does not match the photos

This could be an awesome app, if the audio matched the photos. Not worth it for this reason. The photos are great and the variety of games is excellent, I hope they will fix all the errors.

2020-03-03

Would be great if...

The concept of this app is great but NONE of the verbs shown make the verbal label/command. So frustrating, will not be able to use with my students.

2020-02-09

App doesn’t work

Doesn’t work. Voiced word doesn’t match picture.

2020-01-20

Verbal Words Don’t Match Photos😬

Very disappointed. Great photos but the spoken words don’t match the photos. Must be a glitch.

2019-12-12

Audio Does Not Match Photos

The words that the apps says (via audio) to describe or prompt selection of the actions in the photos do not match. This is across features and sets within the app. I hope they fix this soon or I will be wanting to be refunded. I was looking forward to using this, as I am a speech therapist. However, with the audio not working correctly I cannot use it with my students.

2019-11-01

Won’t load

Won’t load, paid a dollar for this and will not load.

2019-10-14

Not compatible

Will not open on my IPad.

2019-10-07

Does not work

I have IOS 12 on my iPad. I installed the app and when I clicked on the icon, it started to initialize but then booted me out repeatedly. I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it at least 3 times with the result. Very unhappy customer.

2019-10-01

Crashing app

This app crashes everything in open it

2019-09-24

Disappointing

I have downloaded and then re-installed this app twice on both iPhone and iPad and it still says the wrong verb for corresponding photo. Then it freezes up. So disappointing as I was hoping to use it with some of my students in speech therapy. ~SLP

2019-09-15

It doesn’t work!!

The app won’t open. Can someone help me?

2019-07-02

Great for a while

I enjoyed this app a lot when I first downloaded it. I have not been able to access it for months now. I’ve emailed the developer twice and never heard back. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled. If the app was working, I would give it 5 stars. So sad the developers aren’t keeping up with it.

2019-06-16

Great app

Very effective for working preschoolers who need to expand verb usage. Love that most flash cards have children as the subject.

2019-02-26

Can’t even open app

Bought this and have not even been able to try it out...every time I click on the app to open it...it shows the start screen and closes instantly or asks for my Apple ID, I put it in, and it still doesn’t open....very frustrating...

2019-01-10

Crashing

I loved using this app last year as an SLP. Now, the app won’t open. It crashes every time. So disappointed. I tried deleting and reinstalling and it still crashes. Would love to use this app again if it would work.

2018-09-17

Label & Picture do not match

I just purchased this app to use with my preschool students. I started exploring the activities and quickly realized the pictured action does not match the label being provided! I saw a picture of sleeping but the app repeatedly said “crying.” I changed activities and action levels but it was consistently wrong. How do I get this fixed?

2017-12-01

It is not working

I see the great potential of this app to work in my speech-language therapy sessions with children. However, all the pictures and their labels are mixed. It is impossible to use because the picture does not go with the label; please correct it.

2017-11-19

Mismatched

The word pronounced by the speaker does not match any of the provided choices. It is confusing to the child.

3 pictures shown of running, playing, and crying and the speaker says “touching”. Does not make any sense. Do not waste your money

2017-03-21

Fantastic

Great app! I use it all the time with my kiddos and the pictures are very clear and specific to the verbs.

2016-11-07

Great App!!

I I am always on the lookout for a new phone app to teach my kids. This one fits the bill and it's fun too!!

2016-05-13

Verbs galore

I love this app it has been an amazing experience for teaching kids I work with and my personal kids new verbs to use.

2016-05-10

Good for learning words!

Much more fun for kids to do this on an iPad than on paper.

2016-04-27

Great at preschool

Keeps children attention...can be used different ways...preschoolers love it

2016-04-20

Action verbs

This app has helped my students to decide which verbs are action and which are not. Great app.

2016-04-15

Educational & Entertaining

My 2 yr old granddaughter loves this app!! She loves the verbal feedback & is so proud when she is rewarded with a sticker. I like that the app has many levels that allow her to keep learning as she ages.

2016-04-13

Great photos

Excellent job again

Although it is pretty much like Bitsboard, which I also adore, I like having a separate app, just for the verbs.

2016-04-06

Minnesota ESL Teacher

This Action Verb app using Bitsboard is the best for English Learners! Students connect better with authentic photos and the diversity of children used in the photos is appreciated.

Keep looking for Alligator Apps, they rock!

2016-04-06

Helpful

So great to have so many choices right there ready to use. I love Bitsboard and the more boards that are already created for specific language skills are super. Thanks again.

2016-03-31

Love your apps

This and other apps developed by the developer are great, they provide many ways to target the skill from flash cards to games, as well as to account for level of difficulty from 1- several items is great. Thank you for making learning fun.

2016-03-31

Nice!

Lots of good activities and pictures. I just downloaded it and am going to use it with students next week.

Even if these are the same pics as on Bitsboards...I like the activities...and the organization.

2016-03-31

Useful

Easy to use, good pictures and games. Just wondering though, are these the same actions as are available on BitsBoard? Is there a reason to have both?

2016-03-31

Great for hearing impaired

Have some preschool hearing impaired kids in class and these pics will help them so much!!! Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

2016-03-07

Teach action words

Excellent pictures, very good activities to teach verbs. Very easy to use, engages children well.
