Latest reviews of Brainy Skills Synonym Antonym app for iPhone and iPad

Love this app!
As a homeschooling mom with 10 kids, this is a fun way for my kids to practice synonyms and antonyms. The kids love having competitions to see who can get the highest score. Makes learning fun! One of the best educational apps around!
Kids love this app!
I love this app. I always feel like practicing antonyms & synonyms can get boring, but the students love this app! They are really excited to play the bonus rounds and super proud when they get it right. Multiple choice format makes it a good start for learning antonyms/synonyms and the easy/hard levels offer more words than I usually have in my word banks. The only suggestion I have is: I would love to be able to manually go to the next trial. Right now, the trials switch automatically after you give an answer. I would love to be able to stay on the screen in order to discuss the answer with my students while the words are still there. Overall, definitely worth the price!
