Homonyms 101 - Review #10

Grade Level: Middle School

Program Functionality: A
The program never crashed or had any malfunctions and it is very simplistic with the ease of use.

Purpose: B
This is the only app in the Education store dedicated to homonyms that we can find. I worked with a student who remarked that he always had difficulty with that word and he has the correct word memorized now.

Overall Educational Value: C+. We like the help feature in this particular app. Still, if there was some form of teacher functionality to pull out some data, it would give this a much higher grade.

Cost: $1.99

Recommendation:
If you struggle with homonyms, than we recommend this app for personal use.

We are moderately recommending this app for schools if they have a specific need for some students.
