It seems absurd to me that Pictello is $18.99 and Stories2Learn is $13.99 (and has a real problem with losing content across updates and and devices -- I am still too furious to write about this in detail, but in short *all* of Leo's beloved social stories were irretrievably obliterated). I do love Pictello's ability to share stories across devices, and recordable voiceover is important for pre-readers. But as Injini's new Write My Name allows recording voiceover in a $1.99 app, I do wonder how those prices are justified. And why there isn't a better cheaper option. Definitely interested in following along. I would love to see easy, basic social stories made available — and more importantly, without the special needs penalty cost.

My kids love apps and they love social stories. I'd be v intrigued to see how these two things could be combined. Currently, we use low-tech things like hand puppets for our social stories!! :D Do keep us posted!! I love this idea! My kids love apps and they love social stories.
