Please review the difference between a noun and a pronoun. One question was: The subject of a sentence must be a noun. True or false. The app called false wrong. False is correct because the subject of a sentence must be a noun or a pronoun. On another item, the task was to underline all singular nouns. The app called it incorrect when I did not underline "it." "It" is not a singular noun, it is a singular pronoun. Good concept for an app, but the misinformation needs to be cleared up or the app will teach children incorrect information.

I bought both the 6th and 7th grade apps only to find out that almost all of the material and the questions were the exact same. To top it off the "lesson" material was to brief and very vague even to use as review material. I guess if you want your student to mindlessly "practice" for standardized tests, then this is the app for you.

I just purchased this app, and I think it could be useful in the classroom. I do think, however, more could be done to provide useful info about using the app.
