Sometimes the app gets glitchy. For something that costs money it should be perfect. I dont think its worth it. Other than that its pretty cool.

Description
English grammar game app / Available on the iPhone and iPad
SenGram is an iPhone and iPad language game which presents pre-prepared sentence diagram puzzles and solutions to those puzzles, for players to solve.
(Please note: this is an educational sentence-diagramming puzzle game, it is NOT a tool which will solve your homework for you...).
This puzzle game tests and improves your ability to take sentences apart, identify the underlying grammatical structure, and reflect that structure on a diagram.
This game will be of interest to students of language (including ESL students), lovers of language and grammar, those sitting standardised tests with a grammar component (e.g. SAT, GMAT, NAPLAN) as well as those who are familiar with sentence diagrams and enjoy completing them as puzzles. The game might be especially useful to those students who are are currently studying a course in which sentence diagramming is used as a teaching tool.

Some reviews (US region):
Great App
by Beezer88 - Version 1.00 - Aug 11, 2012. This is great for teaching how to diagram a sentence. Keep developing!!! :)
Spectacular!
by Viskid - Version 1.00 - Aug 11, 2012
This application has been used to great effect in my classroom. Used as part of the daily warmup, my kids are becoming so efficient at this oft forgotten skill. 5 stars and a hip-hip-hooray for this app.
Worthwhile
by GhostGame123 - Version 1.00 - Aug 9, 2012. I teach Latin and a major difficulty is getting the students to see the structure of sentences. The problem, at least in part, is that they dont (or cant) see structure even in English--no one teaches diagramming any more. Im going to try to incorporate this into this years classes. Thanks; Id certainly buy more elaborate versions or buy upgrades in app.
Love it!

Please continue to develop. Great aid to learning. Thank you.
--------------------
Your objective when playing the game will be to place each word in the puzzle sentence in its correct place on the sentence diagram.
At present the app includes over 100 sentence puzzles, including:
(1) Subject and verb: 20 sentences.
(2) Article, adjective, adverb, possessive: 21 sentences.
(3) Prepositional phrase, adverbial noun: 20 sentences.
(4) Object - direct, indirect: 20 sentences.
(5) Linking verb: 20 sentences.
(6) Co-ordinating conjunction: 12 sentences.
(7) Challenge puzzles: 10 sentences.
In addition, there are further puzzles for purchase within the app in the SenGram Store.
The style of diagram adopted in this app is known as the Reed Kellogg style, and there are many websites and books devoted to it. In our view this style of diagramming offers one of the more enjoyable ways to test and improve your knowledge of grammar, especially if you have a visual mind.
Best of luck! We hope you enjoy the puzzles!

Idk
Excellent but too much $$$$
Well designed, operates smoothly. A phone screen is generally too small, but the zoom is helpful and works well. For the price, Id like to see many more sentences. Additional functions, such as allowing for writing your own sentences or requiring you to build the scaffolding, would obviously entail a vastly more complex program. But, then, for the price you pay...
Too much cost for too little product. And then they ask for more money
The app works well, but for the price I expected much more. Then for a demand for more money to unlock the last few levels? Ridiculous. I completed the app in less than an hour. Not worth the money unless you have nothing better to do than re-diagram the same sentences over and over. Utterly disappointed. Honestly, I would have given the app a 3 if it hadnt been for the greed on top of the limited product.
Coach Vo
This SenGram app has helped me read, write and understand the English language structure much better than what Ive learned through middle school and high school
Awful
Not that app was looking for waste of money false advertisement.
Excellent app for fun and learning
I bought this app for studying, but its so much fun to use that its more like playing a game. Its a good way to practice sentence diagraming before doing it from scratch. Highly recommended.
Awesome
This is a great and fun way to learn grammar diagrams!! Only thing I wish it had was the option that shows the part of speech for each sentence rather than just one generic template for all the sentences in one category. This would really help!! This would be a great app to recommend to my students!
