One problem
Love the app. Very user friendly however for the amount of money it costs, you should be able to email with audio. Only disappointing thing about this app

needs fixing
this app is great. however useless if you cant go back to add to stories and edit them. no kids have attention to add pages and finish a whole story. i was hoping to use this as a log of our trip to florida as our first time using this app. we took two pictures and then sat down to start our story. its great to engage the child, practise typing skills. etc. but i never realized you couldnt ADD to it!!
am i doing something incorrect? if not, then essentially this app is not worth the money.

Love this
Hi this is a great app to prepare social stories for students with autism. You can use pictures you take with iPad instantly after you take them. You can add words and voices to pictures!

Great app
As a language teacher, i find that this app is awesome. The only problem is that u cannot use audio from your ipad and put it the stories, or use a custom font (vital for language teachers), i like the new updates and hope the issues can be resolved . 5stars nonetheless, great for stories.

Could be a great app...
This could be a great app but there are some major problems with it, first and foremost being that there is no way to edit a story once you have created it. So make sure it's perfect the first time or you'll hav to start all over again...

Good app!
My brother's speech teacher first discovered this app and my dad downloaded this app to help my bro and I downloaded it for fun. I like creating stories! 5 stars!

fun and easy to use app.
The app allowed my daughter to participate more fully in her kindergarten class. The app is easy to use. I was able to set up short stories in minutes which enables her friends to get to know her better which is hard when your non verbal. The first story we prepared was from her 6th birthday party she can't wait to share more.
