Sight Words by Photo Touch Positive Reviews

Think I’m going to love it!!I have a four year old Preschool student, and they are working on 1st grade sight words. I am having trouble getting my son to learn and remember them each week. I’ve tried everything!!! I think I’m going to love this because I can customize the words that he can practice each week. Since my kid is IPhone savvy, I think he will enjoy this app to learn his words better than mommy drilling him with flash cards everyday. Hopefully this works!!! Yikes!.Mrs. LaTrellVersion: 3.0

Improve for data collectionI really enjoy this app. and so do my students. I love all the features, however, I would like to request you add a data collection feature that would let me know which words are not being recognized by my students or what words they are doing well with. I would also like to see a feature that ends the task maybe being able to set limits to do 10 or 20 etc... My students are waiting for an end to complete the task. Yes the constant praise does get redundant. Besides this I love the alphabet app as well but again I would like to see a data collection and limit features add. Thanks for the consideration..Jeannette, SLPVersion: 3.0

Good for existing sight wordsIf the word is part of the pre-existing list, it works well. I like that you can delete some of the list words to focus on certain words your little may be working on. However if you would like to add a new word, the word does not appear in the flashcard- only at the top. You end up having to just click a blank space. I agree with other reviews that it would be a nice addition to have a sense of right and wrong words selected to focus on for the future and a timer or signal for kids to know it’s ended..Jmjamom3Version: 3.0

Great, but needs multi usersI love this app for use with my students. The problem is that I can't set up multiple users, so I have to go in and reset certain words to on and others to off depending on which specific words my sdc students are mastering. This is time consuming and makes it difficult for more than one student to use the app in a day. If I had multiple users as an option, I could preset the words for each student before class, and they could take turns by clicking on their name and getting their customized word practice. Right now, I have to occupy my students with independent work for five minutes to get it set for the next student, then back to another students settings, etc. just not practical for more than one student practicing different words..TeacherAndMom2ThreeVersion: 2.9

Love this appI love this app because you can program only the words you wan to concentrate on or use all the words at any level. You can program it to show any level. You can record any words that you are working on. I use a lot of different sight word apps and this one is the best. I would highly recommend it!.TMS :)Version: 3.0

Love it, BUT...I love all of the apps like this and have been using them for years, however, the customize your items feature has been very "glitchy" lately. It is difficult to record audio for new items and, when it records, it doesn't hold the recording to be used when playing the game. If this could be fixed, you would be right back up at 5 stars..PreKKidsVersion: 3.0

Reliving old memoriesSo I have autism and had a little bit of a hard time learning as a child. Not too hard but I struggled in some areas. This really helped me learn when I was younger. I’m now a teenager but this game reminded me how far I’ve come. I’m so blessed this game existed In my childhood. Thank you! <3.CB PonyVersion: 3.0

Recording Malfunction :(This app is great! The only issue I have with it is that the record feature (to add new words or to create your own list) does not work! Which is really frustrating because I have words I'd like to add. The only other thing is that I wish there was a point system, so then my child knew how many she got right and how many she got wrong. Otherwise this is a great app!!!.CarjeajohVersion: 3.0

Wonderful ReadingThis App actually does what it says and is more beautiful than it describes. I am a homeschool mom and this is a free resource that is part of our weekly routine to change things up and add technology. Thanks for your hard work and for your recommendations..Homeschooling MotherVersion: 3.0

Five stars if more I would giveMy son is in preK and it’s hard for me to teach him. After the third card he get sleepy. But the flash cards have all his words and more. He went threw the cards more triple times than we could. Thank you so much!!.VannahLynn87Version: 3.0

No distractionsThis is a good learning and practice app with no distractions. There is no fancy background pictures, game points; but great word encouragement. I am going to check out the other apps by photo touch. Thank you..Fairway playerVersion: 3.0

Great app minus the little IGreat app. The review by the teacher made me investigate. I went to customization. I edited the I app. There our capitalization options or you can manually type it as uppercase. I set it to as written because I wanted the rest to appear in lowercase under most circumstances. Very happy with this app. Also you have to understand the in settings you can create your own lists then if you only want your lists to run you have to turn off the other lists. It will run more than one list at a time. I find this sight word app as the best I have found as far as customization and parent control. I love that I can turn words off without deleting them. Most of the bad reviews are operator malfunctions. Sorry to say! This is a great aid in our homeschooling environment. Would be great in schools and for parents assisting in their child's education. Thanks for creating an app that meets the consumer's needs..Mama mama of 4 bouncing kiddosVersion: 2.9

Constant over-the-top praise is annoyingI like the app except for the constant overboard praise after each word is successfully chosen. I'm using it for a student of mine who has Autism. He chose two incorrect answers before he got the correct one. The voice response was a bubbly, "You're GREAT!" He thinks so literally, and asked, "Am I great for getting the answer wrong twice?". A subtle signal like a bell, or whistle would be much less distracting, and more realistic. Cheering, compliments, etc. would be more appropriate at the end of the list, but ONLY if a minimum of 70% of the words are correctly chosen the first time. Please stop building up a false sense of accomplishment with this app. Kids need to know when they're wrong and need to re-think their choices. They will not break, they will learn! I'll re-visit it in a few weeks and see if anything has changed. Until it does, other apps will get my attention for sight word practice..LuavulVersion: 2.9

Great app for ASD kidsThis is an awesome sight words app for my kindie. One of my fav things about it is that it randomized the words. My son like to memorize lists and lists of words in order are too easy for him--plus he's not really learning the individual words, but the lists. With this app it forces him to remember random words which is awesome. I would gladly pay for this app if the would add a master word list (I'm having to pull words from both preschool and kindie lists which is a hassle) and if they would allow custom word creation that also creates a visual of that word. For instance, my don has 'dog' as a sight word. That word isn't on any lists on this app. I had to take a picture of my computer monitor showing 'dog' to make it look like the other words. Other than that, awesome job guys!!.Big Baby BesusVersion: 2.9

Only one flaw I could findExcellent app. I like the customizability, and the ability to use your own voice. Since the sight words my child's school uses are not the Dolce words, but the Houghton Mifflin word list, I can adapt it to the words my child needs to learn. However, the makers of the app were not far sighted enough to realize the time consuming requirement it takes to make a physical image for each and every word in a separate program, photograph it to bring it into the app (with a problem of the app freezing up every time you capture the image with the camera... with every word image captured). It would have been so much simpler to type in the words as text rather than require a jpeg image for each word in the list..AuthorDTNelsonVersion: 1.9

Work around for custom itemsLove this app. My 2 year old loves it too. She can read a good handful of words. To add custom words, with a picture do the following: add description, record the word in your voice. Then, select take new picture. Take a photo of the 'thing' or the word written on a piece of paper (or your computer screen in a large font). Now, here is where the work around comes in. Select USE. The app appears to freeze. Then Exit out. Select the app again. It should be on your photo. Select RETAKE, then select CANCEL. You will then be on the add word screen and your photo should be inserted. Select SAVE. viola! Only takes a bit more time, and it is working great. Hopefully, they will work the kinks out..SuelzVersion: 1.9

Excellent app for my developmentally delayed childBought this app about a year ago and thought it could use a bit more custom ability - and you've done it. Now I can create my own categories and delete the default ones. My daughter is developmentally delayed and just starting to get words out. Your app aids in her starting to verbalize words - she's actually repeating the words as they are spoken..JohnnybebopVersion: 2.9

Sight Words by Photo Touch Negative Reviews

So much potential...But no sound. My daughter has specific sight words for her test and I thought this would be my answer to the boring index cards. I took out all the words except the few I needed and added them in, complete with a picture. Go to do the sight words to test and when it gets to my customized words, no sound. A few quarks to record your voice, as soon as you hit record you have to say the word right away or it cuts the word you say off. So I figured that out. Later playing the app/game, my customized words don't have sound so when it's time to select the word, no sound is read and therefore you can't figure out the word. Also if there isn't a picture for the customized sound, it's blank and you won't know a card is even there to select! Totally bummed..Tribute311Version: 3.0

Good idea?We just got it tonight and while going through the first time the voice sometimes says nothing. Also every other time the words are missing and you have to click randomly on the page. It still accepts the answer. Then there’s the times it says nothing and there’s only one word on the page so you just guess until the check mark shows up. Very odd and disappointing..DBragg2124Version: 3.0

Sound?Volume set to the max but the sound was so soft that it was barely audible, which, at least in my chaotically loud house, makes this app useless! I was really excited about using it too because other than that it’s the perfect app for learning sight words but you can’t play if you can’t hear the prompts..AljenahiVersion: 3.0

Three touch tapTo get to the setting, the three touch tap does not work most of the time. I have downloaded other apps by the same creator and am having the same issue. Please fix!! I love the app other than that. But if I can’t change the settings, I can’t use it..JlcastelliniVersion: 3.0

Not greatWhile the app is supposed to teach recognition of the word, anyone can use process of elimination to get to the right word. The "foils" (other words listed) are not anything like the target word. This means that if a child can recognize the first sound of many of the sight words, they can use that to identify the word. This is also ONLY a recognition task. It does not require the child to read the word aloud and it allows an overly long amount of time for recognition of the word. While they offer a hint, giving the word itself as a hint seems a little too obvious. Yes, there are some nice features like the ability to change the "reward" words (the current ones make me want to poke my eye out) and the ability to adapt the list; however, I don't believe they makeup for the drawbacks. As a clinician making recommendations for students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, this will not be on my go to list..Dr DyslexiaVersion: 2.9
