User Reviews for Question Builder for iPad

Horrible app, poorly worded questions

I am extremely disappointed with this app. I have been very pleased with Conversation Builder and was hoping for another quality app with Question Builder. Most of the questions have very little to do with inference, but focus more on counting (how many children, leaves, apples, etc. are in the picture). One picture shows a partially exposed alligator in a river. The question is, "where are the other alligators?". I would infer that the other alligators were in the river as well, however the correct answer is, "I don't know". There are questions where clearly incorrect answers are 'correct'. For example, one question asks how many red flowers are in the picture. The answer is "2" but there are NO red flowers in the picture. Another question is, "Where did the kids get their lunches?". The "correct" answer is that they were packed by their moms, however, the child is clearly eating a school lunch with hot food on a tray. Yet another question asks, "where did the tomatoes learn to sing?" (yup, singing tomatoes). The answer is not at school or in the garden, but "from their teacher". Additionally, there are grammatical and spelling errors throughout (sandals are spelled "sandels", etc. ). Do not waste your money, this app will only frustrate you and your children/students.

Another great app by Mobile Education!

Another great app by Mobile Education Tools! My daughter is Autistic and it has really helped her. It helps her to look at the pictures and ask the correct question. She loves the characters that praise her when she gets the correct answer. Great motivation! It has helped her to ask and answer questions better in conversation. Excellent app!

This is a great app. I work with students that are hard of hearing and students with multiple disabilities. The best feature for me is the data keeping feature. I like that you can what type of questions you can work on. It is an easy app to use that doesnt require prep time. The reward features are entertaining. This is a fun app that helps my students work on this skill. My students choose To play this app over over wh question card games.

Love it!

I have used this app very successfully with my 3rd graders and 2nd graders diagnosed with learning disabilities. We do a mini-lesson about the different type of question words they'll see: how, why, when, where, what. They practice reading through the answers. I would like for the app to also have the ability to read the answers aloud, because the question is read aloud. As an added bonus, the fun character who pops up once the student gets the answer correct encourages the student and gives them a laugh! I have noticed a few glitches when the student does choose the correct answer and the app tells them to keep trying. It doesn't happen all the time.

Must Have App for SLPs

I have been using Question Builder for almost eight weeks with a handful of students in speech services. They are engrossed in the app and do not even realize they are working. With all of the emphasis on data driven decision making in schools today I love that it provides me with feedback on the students progress. Accountability is essential at all levels in todays educational system. This is a most have app of all educational SLPs.

A Winner with my students!

My students enjoy playing Question Builder! The pictures hold their attention and they enjoy the sometimes silly reinforcements. As an SLP, I like having the ability to track their progress and make sure they are at the correct level. Not only does this app help them with answering questions, it also is helping with listening and reading.

playful app improves reading comprehension

What I like best about this app is that the questions are designed such that the child really has to think about the BEST answer since the other answers could also be correct. If a wrong answer is selected, the narrator says encouraging words like "you'll get it next time." In some scenes goofy animated characters appear to positively reinforce getting an answer right, by saying things like "awesome." Nice work.

Very good

As an elementary school English as a second language teacher, I find that many of Mobile Education Stores' apps are great! I use Question Builder because the students must think critically in order to choose the correct answer to a question supported by a colorful picture on the screen. I like that the question choices include plausible, but incorrect answer choices. You can raise or lower the level of difficulty in the settings menu. One thing that is missing however, is the option to have the iPad read the answer choices. The questions can be read aloud, but students must be readers to choose an answer, making this app unusable as a listening comprehension game for young students who are not yet able to read. When the students correctly answer, there are some funny animated characters that come out and cheer for them. Likewise, there are words of encouragement if they answer incorrectly. The app has a statistics page so you can monitor the students' progress. One problem I have with the app is that you cannot go from a sentence that you are building to the settings or statistics page until/unless you correctly build the sentence. This creates unnecessary hassle if you want to quickly check-in on a student's progress or change the difficulty.

Question Builder for iPad

This App is AMAZING!! It makes owning the iPad worthwhile for me. My six year old son with autism, who was horrible trouble processing "wh" questions LOVES THIS!! He of course finds "how" and "why" the hardest. First time on he practiced "why" questions for 40 minutes! He also was very successful with it which makes him really enjoy it. He is going to be conversing in no time and finally asking ME the questions<3

Nice app for questions and syntax

This app is great for answering questions, but also, working on answering in a complete sentence. I agree with one of the other reviews in that this app requires you to pay attention to the question to make sure you answer appropriately. One in particular is a picture of a girl and a snowman and the question is, "What are the snowman's arms made of?" So many kids automatically say snow and I have to remind them to listen and I repeat the question. After that they do a much better job of listening and focusing on what exactly was asked. It would be nice for non readers if like in Conversation Builder Teen you had a way to hear each sentence by pressing a button. I understand that would be a lot of work so it may not be possible or at least not happen for some time. Also, two things I noticed in the What section, the girl looks like she is wearing a pink dress not a red dress as the answer states and the girl in the wheelchair picture has the answer of "There is a piano is in front of her". Overall, I really like this app. Any chance for when and who to be added?
