The video explaining it does not play. The words to drill were limited. Games were not worked in but just used as a reward and seemed to have limited purpose. ### 2/5 — Cool concept but cumbersome app *2021-04-02* Like the idea, not user friendly for non professionals ### 3/5 — Suggestion *2017-08-27* I use this app with a lot of my kids, but the games make no sense. The only one with a timer is the basketball game. I like that the duck hunt and dart game give prizes, but there is no timer and the games will not automatically shut down like the basketball game does. And the darts go in random directions! As for the hammer game, the metals appear randomly and don't accumulate like the prizes or the basketball count. And it doesn't have a timer or shut down automatically. Could you please tweak the games so they are more appealing to kids? ### 2/5 — Bummer *2017-01-23* I'm pretty bummed I spent over $20 on this app. The Articulation work part is great but I bought it because I had hopes it would have games to motivate the kids. I already own Articulation Station. The games are "boring". My kids of all ages don't like them (preschool - 3rd Grade). They don't make a lot of sense. When throwing darts you can't actually aim. It flies off into nowhere. Feeling very disappointed😕 ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-02-01* Kids love this app during Speech Therapy, they are very motivated by the carnival games after a predetermined number of correct words. ### 5/5 — Great app for all ages! *2015-05-30* I use this app with all ages. I love the pictures and the reward of the games! Kids request this and have no idea they are actually working. Great app! ### 4/5 — Great idea! *2015-04-20* This app is a wonderful app for entertaining my students and getting their attention. I love that you can email data a d customize for each child. The cons seem to be the inability to remove students or edit names that you may typo on as well as the inability to work on phonological processes. I would also love it if it had say, ing.. If I am wrong in the ability to edit or remove names, can someone share how it is done? ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-11-21* I love this app! My students love to play the carnival games and are motivated to complete a lot of work to get to the games. I like the fact that I can change between initial, medial and final words and the different levels easily without having to go back to the start screen. ### 3/5 — Pretty good but *2014-11-10* App loses sound when games are being played. ### 5/5 — Tammy SLP *2014-09-03* My speech students love this app and so do I! A must have for school based SLPs. ## Frequently asked questions about Articulation Carnival Pro ### What is Articulation Carnival Pro?
