iPad Activities for Language Impaired Students

What are your favorite apps to use with your elementary aged language impaired students? I find that my students are highly motivated by iPad games, but I am always looking for new ones to use with my 1st-3rd grade students. I've gotten some free ones and ones that cost money. I've heard other SLP friends who like to use the LanguageBuilder app as shown below. How do you use Language Builder? I haven't incorporated it into my therapy too much yet, but I think it has great potential!



I also like to use Speech with Milo: Verbs! I actually haven't used this one in awhile because I've been defaulting to the old fashioned verb cards from my agency's Staff Distribution Center. Looks like I've got some new plans for therapy this week!



Does anyone have any good ideas on teaching verb tense to Language Impaired students? 
I'm always trying to find resources on the web for teaching verb tense, but I haven't had much luck teaching my poor students to understand the difference between past, present, and future. I need to change something up so I appreciate any advice!
