## Review summary

The app excels in customization and supports vocabulary-building with user-created flash cards that use photos and audio. However, recurring audio/mic issues, navigation limitations, freezes, and sharing bugs hinder daily use. Its strong customization and educational potential make it valuable for parents and therapists when reliability improves.

### Pros

- Customization options: add own photos, record audio, and organize custom flash card decks
- Clear, detailed visuals with high-quality photos
- Supports vocabulary development and is useful for parents, therapists (SLPs) and teachers
- Flexible presentation controls: adjustable slide duration/transition and looping options
- Sharing and collaboration potential: ability to share customized flash cards with colleagues and students

### Cons

- Microphone/recording not working consistently; some recordings disappear after edits
- Audio playback issues: sound may not play or volume drops when returning to cards
- Navigation limitations: limited image navigation (no back/repeat) and kids may tap through quickly
- Stability and performance issues: app freezes and requires multiple taps to select categories
- Sharing-related problems: issues with sharing due to category naming restrictions (symbols) and sharing flow returning to home screen
