WhQuestions App Reviews

I really like the app. Yes, a couple words are covered by some pictures but it does not justify the number of bad reviews on this app. This is the only app we have that targets WhQUestions. What do people want?? I find this app very useful with my 3-5 year old groups.

This app is not worth $14.99. Maybe worth $0.99. Really disappointing! Poor representation of items. Will not use!

I love the updated version of this app. I had completely stopped using the old version because some of the questions were strange and it wasnt very user friendly. This updated app is fantastic. Ive used it with 3 patients today who all have goals related to "wh" questions. They are great for all levels with plenty of basic what questions all the way up to why questions for the more advanced students. Great app, thanks so much for making the needed improvements to this app!

I am an SLP working with preschoolers (2-4 y.o.). This is surprisingly the only "wh" app out there. My main complaint is that there is no option for multiple choice. When Im targeting receptive language I want the students to be able to touch the correct answer without having to say it aloud. Its also more fun for them for an app to be interactive--otherwise, I could save my money and use books and pictures instead! Which is what Ill probably still end up doing unless they add a touch-the-answer option for this app. Otherwise, whats the point of having it on the iPad rather than on paper?

I disagree with Andaia. . .an app is a tool, not a toy. The app is a presentation of various question forms and a childs ability to distinguish between them. Providing multiple choice pictures does not help a child focus on what is really being asked. It promotes guessing. This app is terrific for collecting baselines on each question form and allows you to figure out which are most challenging. I think it is a great update and a great place to start.

I really like this updated version. It works great with some of my students with autism.

This app would be alot better if it was more interactive for the child. If the child could touch the correct answer it would be a five- star app. If this does get taken into consideration I would like for them to be able to touch the answer and for the app to remain on the same question that way I would be able to discuss why they got it right/wrong. I have some apps where it is tap to answer and to kids fly through it and Im unable to discuss the question/prompt.

I like this app to get an idea of what questions my students need to learn how to answer. Coming from a high poverty school, sometimes they get the question wrong because of basic vocabulary. It also can be used to teach basic information kids need to know.

It only shows a cartoon pics and asks questions "how do you give a hug" , "who flies an airplane." The teacher then decides if the child verbally gives a correct answer and marks correct or not correct. There are no choices for students to pick an answer. a student or child would have no benefit from this app without an adult present. Not worth $2.00, let alone the price this costs.

The revisions to the app have made it a much better tool. I like being able to choose the type of question I want to target. The ability to record the students answer is also good. I wish it contained real photographs instead of the cartoon style pictures. like the data tracking and ability to easily share it with others. Still a bit high priced for what you get.

Im looking forward to using this app with my kids.

Thanks for this app ....there just arent many good apps addressing WH questions available yet. I like the data collection feature in this one. Thank you smarty ears for all the apps you are developing and for listening to the users.

This update has made this app easier to use, and my students are enjoying it more. I do wish it had photographs instead of cartoons, but the drawings in this version have improved as well., I would like this app more if there if it was more interactive to better engage my students, especially my less verbal students with autism. I also would like it if there was some kind of reinforcement after a certain number of correct responses. My students have beccome used to being able to touch all over the screen and having something happen, then getting some sort of reward, not just a "good job" from me.

Good app for practicing Wh questions with my students

I totally love my Wh-Question it makes treatment session go by so much easier because it keeps track for you. My kids love it because it makes their session so much more interesting.

I bought this app and was never even able to get past the start up screen. It wouldnt even let me input student names. Very disappointing.

I love the variety of questions in this app and being able to choose question types.

This app has a good variety of wh questions. It would be nice to have a curriculum base of some sort but I know that is asking a lot. Some of the questions are a bit difficult for some of my students but it is easy to skip over them if needed. All are open ended questions (no answer chpices) but there are picture cues. That is good for some kids but others I wish the picture cue was not just a given. It wuld be nice to have an option to give the cue if needed and give answer choices if needed.

This is a very user friendly and well organized app. You can choose the question type and it provides you with data for your students. I like the variety of questions under each question type. The questions vary in level of abstraction which provides good diagnostic information as well as good practice for the students. The students enjoy recording their responses and listening to themselves. This is a big help for their self monitoring skills. I wish there was an almost button, because some students get the answer right, but dont formulate a clear, specific response. That would assist in my assessment of their progress.
