Ratings and Reviews
Great concept! But definitely has some inside
I’m a school teacher using this app for read alouds for my students. I LOVE the idea of it and but wish the background music was longer than 2 minutes...OR that it would confine over again while I’m reading and not just stop. Also when I tried to use iTunes music it would crash every time and I would have to start over. I would love to be able to use background music for my stories!
Needs improvement
I think the ideas and creativity behind this app is great BUT please fix some issues. It would be great if I could hear back what I said on the slide I am working on. Also the music only lasts for 2 mins and after that it won’t let me pick the same background music to continue. It would be great if there was an option to continue playing background music through the whole presentation. not all presentation will end at two minutes.
Since I couldn’t hear back what I had recorded I had saved the the shadow puppet and sent myself the link to hear it back and I didn’t realize I kept recoding myself talking after I meant to pause it.
There was no way for me to go back and edit that one piece without completely starting over which is really frustrating when I had an assignment due that night. Please fix these issues!
Excellent Assistive Technology Tool
I work in the assistive technology department of a very large school district and have found this app to be an excellent tool to support students and staff with technology. With only 3 AT consultants to cover over 90 schools, offering good support is challenging. Making these "tutorials" is super easy and open ended so I'm able to use it for a variety of purposes. It is intuitive, user friendly and very easy to use the end result. Folks I support have high praise for having a personalized tool to access whenever they need it. This will always be a tool in my AT toolbox!
