Description
The award-winning Grammar Girl presents Grammar Pop: A fun word game for adults and a great way for kids to learn parts of speech. Match words with parts-of-speech, pop clouds, and progress from nouns and verbs to gerunds and participles.
The sentences get longer, the parts of speech get harder, and the timer gets shorter as you pop more clouds and advance through the game. You won’t even know you’re learning!

Ratings and Reviews
Great Concept—Poor Execution
I see that other users have identified the problems. Where are the fixes? Seriously.
Many errors
“For” is not a verb.
Amateur programming job
This is a cheap app that tries to leverage the marketability of Grammar Girl. It's quite a sad attempt at programming. There is little attention to detail in the presentation or animation. The graphics are dirt cheap, like Pac-man for the Atari 2600. They could have been done with Windows Paintbrush. Bonus coins (the furthest the game goes for extra game depth) don't really look like coins and don't rotate about their centers when they appear. Tapping the coins cause them to disappear instantly, with no audio feedback. And whoever chose the fonts and colors for the words and buttons doesn't understand either typography or color combinations. I imagine Mignon Fogarty herself thought up the specs in an hour and picked the lowest bidder on Elance, a team of iOS amateurs in Mumbai, to throw it together in a week. I really expected better.
