Good and simple

This app delivers as promised. It has a variety of patterns for a young child to complete. As a Speech Therapist I would like it better if the screen would not automatically go to the nest pattern. This would allow for discussion, adding educational value.

Encouraging for little ones

It's impossible to fail with this app, which is important for little kids. If one clicks on a wrong picture, it either disappears or stays where it was, and only clicking on the right picture will move it to where it's supposed to be. So after clicking several times the child will always get "great work!". Maybe the finished pattern can stay a second longer before switching to a new problem? Or this could be customizable?
In the create your pattern sometimes there is more than one solution, but the app takes only one.

Not enough support.

I like that I was able to download this app for free. I would have been quite disappointed if I had paid for this app.
What I found disappointing are the cues are all the same for the patterns. Instead of saying, "duck, turtle, duck, turtle" when the icons are tapped, it just says, "A, B, A, B" and I don't think that it helps to support younger children in learning the patterns and what icon should be selected as the next sequence in the pattern. Also, I think that the two icons should also be spoken when tapped (duck, turtle) which would help support a child in figuring out the one to select for the pattern. The icons should also have the capability to be selected and slid into place (in the pattern) instead of one disappearing.
