Hello, I only found out about this topic from the audio games newsletter this morning, and find no mention of it on this site so far. I’m posting in this forum because one out of three is a game, and the other two are practice and observation. Echovis has three apps that are new, among others they’ve got about magnification. Anyhow, Echovis streets is to help you know when to cross the street with just your ears. It's not clear how many levels, as I’ve not gone through it all yet. Echovis game is another offering, the only one of the three that you pay for at $2, and you solve puzzles by paying attention to what direction things are in, such as walk across the bridge, get the key, go to the popcorn stand. I think that has eight levels or so. The third new one is free as is the streets one, but this Echovis quiz has more question packages you can buy. These are observation questions that tell you a scenario, then there’s an audio clip you listen for, then you choose the correct answer. The questions are things like which way did the person pull that suitcase, left to right, front to back, etc.?, or which vehicles did you hear, a bus and car, bus and truck, only a bus? So there so far is my experience with these three new apps. English is not their first language, so you get messages that tell you to turn off Voiceover then press next, for instance. Overall, I’m very pleased with these efforts, and thought you would like to check them out. The web site will take you to the app store to download.

I’m not sure if I can edit my original post. It doesn’t look like it, so I’ll just say that when you load the Echovis site, choose the button that says En for English, or you will be reading Polish.
