## What is Articulation Station Hive?

Articulation Station Hive is the most comprehensive speech therapy app on the App Store. It has all the tools and activities needed to teach learners of all ages how to speak more clearly. To start with, it has 17 different activities to target speech in both consonants and vowels from the isolation level through the conversation level. 

ARTICULATION STATION HIVE OFFERS: 

ISOLATION ACTIVITIES: 
- Hand cues provide a video model with a hand cue for each sound.
- Picture cues offer fun animated illustrations for each sound.
- Letter cues pair the letter with the sound in a playful way.

SYLLABLE ACTIVITIES:
- Syllable sliders allow learners to slide 2 sounds together to make a word.
- Syllable spinners allow learners to spin 1, 2, and 3 syllable combinations.

WORD ACTIVITIES: 
- Minimal Pairs illustrate the subtle differences sounds in words make.
- Flashcards provide a quick and reliable tool for focused repetition. 
- Matching games (3 levels) keep kids (and adults) engaged in the activity.

PHRASE ACTIVITIES:
- Rotating phrases allow learners to spin a lead word and a target word for a limitless number of two word combinations.
- Unique phrases are three-word descriptive phrases that are perfect for addressing both speech and language goals.

SENTENCE ACTIVITIES:
- Fixed rotating sentences are like long “carrier phrases” where the sentence stays the same and only one target word changes.
- Mixed rotating sentences mix things up. With each spin a new pronoun, verb, adjective and target word spin into position.
- Unique sentences are usually longer and at times more complex than the rotating sentences.

STORY ACTIVITIES:
- Level 1 stories are short, rhyming, and sometimes repetitive stories paired with picture prompts. 
- Level 2 stories are longer stories with larger vocabulary and even more opportunities to practice the target sound.

CONVERSATION ACTIVITIES:
- Conversation scenes allow the learner to scroll from right to left to explore the scene. Speech samples can be recorded, saved and scored.
- Conversation questions offer four different types of questions. 

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES & RESOURCES:
- Phonological processes may be practiced in single words or with minimal pairs. 
- Multiple sounds allow learners to practice multiple sounds at a time at the word, phrase, or sentence level.
- Custom words allow you to add images and words to help personalize the app. 
- Group sessions allow you to work with groups of students up to 6 at a time. *Pro tier only.
- Themes include seasonal themes, holiday themes, just-for-fun themes, and multiple colored backgrounds. *illustrated themes are iPad only.

SCORES:
- View a summary of all your students’ sessions, and see graphs of your students’ performances on all targeted sounds.
- View session details including all the correct, approximate, and incorrect responses. 
- Write and view notes, listen to recordings, and repeat sessions. 
- Share progress and notes with parents or adult users.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Tool!

*2026-07-28, version 1.8.8*

My son has been working with a speech pathologist for a few articulation errors he’s been struggling with. This app has been such a fantastic tool to easily whip out when it’s time to practice at home (or on the go, which is convenient and so helpful)! It is so easy to navigate — it provides words/sentences/pictures/sounds so I don’t have to think of them and allows for a clear path of progression (starting with individual sounds and working its way to conversation). My frugal husband is even willing to pay for it because it’s been so easy to use and so helpful for our son! He is going to graduate from speech therapy in just six weeks! Highly recommend!

### 3/5 — Good app, but bad subscription!

*2026-06-22, version 1.8.8*

Seems normal, but IT FORCED US TO FILL IN OUR VERIFICATION CODE!!!!!! DELETE THE VERIFICATION CODE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 4/5 — Great resource!

*2026-06-21, version 1.8.8*

This is a great resource that I use daily! The kids love it and it is very easy to use. I love that you can customize the word lists to select target words you want/don’t want. The one thing it doesn’t have that I wish it did would be additional phonological approaches like multiple or maximal oppositions, otherwise it is fantastic

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2026-05-20, version 1.8.7*

Why are you making these so out of reach for the professionals in low socio economic areas.

### 5/5 — SLP

*2026-04-21, version 1.8.5*

Makes data tracking and treatment easy!

### 5/5 — Excellent for Speech Therapists, parents and support staff!

*2026-01-31, version 1.8.2*

I am a Speech and Language Therapist specialising in speech sound difficulties and have just started to use this app. It is PHENOMENAL. I am really impressed with how many activities there are and how it progresses smoothly from sound level and beyond. Really well-thought out and put together. Easy to use too. I will be using more and recommending to others. 

It has kept all the good features of the previous Articulation Station App but developed a much wider range of useful information and excellent tasks. I love the minimal pairs activities. This will save me hours of work thinking of these! They have also included vowels too which are often really tricky to find resources and pictures for. This is a great inclusion. I also really rate how it has now gone beyond sentences with scenes to look at and describe as well as generating thought-provoking questions for conversation. Just brilliant. 

Definitely worth getting. I will certainly be recommending to parents and staff in schools.

### 4/5 — Great app, but needs some tweaks!

*2026-01-26, version 1.8.1*

Love so many features of this app, but please make it possible to go back into the session to rescore the results. Once you click “Done”, there needs to be a way to click back to session screen. One reason is that I have some students who become frustrated by seeing scores other than a green check and I would like the option to record and score later. And sometimes I just hit “Done” by mistake! Also, when they see me mark it as almost or wrong, that in and of itself is a cue that they did not produce it correctly and many of my goals are written for the “no cues” level. Thank you!

### 1/5 — No customer support available

*2026-01-18, version 1.7.5*

I keep getting a notification to update the app but there is no update to download. Also getting “need iOS 15 or later” error message and I have iOS 16.7. So now I cannot access the app at all and I have already paid $120 subscription fee for this year. No way to email customer support, no phone number. I guess I’m just out $120. Take your business to a company with better customer service.

### 1/5 — Forces to enter cats details

*2026-01-04, version 1.7.5*

If allowing for 14 days free trail why you need card details before trail period. This is scam

### 1/5 — Unaffordable

*2026-01-02, version 1.7.5*

I hope there are devs who can create similar apps that are affordable for parents and SLPs. This company is one of many profiting off of children with delays and disabilities. Absolutely no reason why these products should be so expensive; it’s another iteration of “they’re desperate, so they’ll pay.”
