Latest reviews of Dyslexia Quest app for iPhone and iPad
My son has dyslexia. This app has wonderful graphics, but unfortunately doesnt have anything in it that actually helps him learn. If anything it was frustrating and he got bored quickly. Its more like a tool to help you see where your child has difficulty in their learning, but if you suspect your child is dyslexic, the better option is to talk to your doctor and get him/her a Psyc Ed assessment by a professional.
As a tutor I need to be able to use this for more than one student...
Right away, my son was expected to recognize words like "through" & "remember," complete a five-sequence task, & spell words backwards after hearing them in the yetis accent. The whole reason I purchased this game was because he was struggling with even the basics because of his dyslexia. Hes having a tough time getting words like "dog" & "ran" so this game left him in the dust, discouraged, & feeling "dumb" right off the bat. $10 app that makes my kid feel worse ...
It would stop right after I press my age. Everytime and I tried five times. Please fix this.
This app is totally awesome. It is a fun way to work on the various skills students need for reading, listening and sequencing. I see so many benefits to this app in the educational setting but to be honest with you...I so enjoy doing it myself and trying to beat my best times and percentages. The app is nicely made and attractive to the all ages. The phonological awareness is sometimes hard to follow because of Yetis accent. If anything needs improving in this app; that would be it. Still, Im giving it 5 stars and recommend that you try it out too.
