I've taken braille in the past and I wanted to refresh my knowledge as my eyes are getting worse and I wanted to take advantage of what sight I have left and use a free mobile app to do so. This app was great for low vision learning and was pretty straight forward. My complaints that make this a 3 star app and not a 5 star app are as follows. First, there is no grade 2 level stuff in this app and if there is , it is not voiceover compatible. If you have no braille experience, that is where you learn about punctuation and the contractions. There are symbols that represent more than one character at a time. Example, the word "the" has it's own symbol, and you are supposed to use that symbol while spelling words that contain those letters. Words like "they" "there" or "these". Second, I don't see any way to learn how to type on a braille keyboard. I wish there was a simulated braille keyboard like on a braille typewriter to practice typing with. When I first learned braille years ago, the typing portion of the lesson is what made everything stick in my brain, that is, actually typing the symbols out. If you are just a little curious about braille and just want to learn the basics of how a braille cell is made up, and the numbers and letters in a straight forward way, and just gain some general understanding of braille, rather than fluently read braille, this app is probably the one for you.

I understand the need for ads in free apps, BUT 1) when they are disclosed in the App Store description and 2) when there is a small fee to remove them. This app is not currently safe for an educational setting, which is unfortunate but it’s a great way to learn braille, if the pop-up full screen ads for Pluto TV were not there.

Is an engaging way to build up skills and complete drills to supplement braille instruction

When is recently did the update it took the feature away that tells you how many dots there are for that letter in the alphabet sheet. All I hear is the letter, it's a voiceover bug of some sort.
