We are so happy to hear your grandson is doing so well and we wish him the best as he continues with his speech practice! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-12-09, version 2.6* I love this app! It has everything you need to work with students individually or with small groups for articulation. I like that there is an option to add images and that it also addresses phonological processes. My students love it and can’t wait to get started each session. The sound affects provide great auditory reinforcement. I have had this app for a couple of years and it continues to be my go to app for articulation. Thank You for creating a wonderful app!!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing your review! We love that you are using these features in the app and that your students love it too. Keep up the great work!! ### 5/5 — Artic: All you’ll ever need *2019-12-06, version 2.6* This app includes EVERYTHING you’ll ever need to do great artic therapy! Every sound; every phonological process; every level of training; and beautiful, realistic photos of the target words. Additionally, it provides the opportunity to record the productions, tallies a percentage and provides the info on how many “cards” will be displayed in the parameters you’ve requested until you reach the end of the task. Children enjoy the ability to “spin” up a phrase or sentence, too. This is a great, worthwhile purchase! **Developer response:** Yay!! This is wonderful to hear and we are so happy that you have what you need in the app to do successful arctic therapy. Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Best artic app *2019-09-17, version 2.6* I recently purchased this app and I love it! Working at a school my kids always ask for it and love the feedback they get when using it. In just a few weeks of using it, I can tell their self monitoring skills of the sounds that they are working on is getting better. It’s so nice to have one program to easily address all artic needs instead of having to get tons of cards out. I love it and maybe more importantly my kids love it!! Thank you so much for creating this! ### 5/5 — Makes My Job Easier!!! *2019-09-06, version 2.6* Since downloading this app I have used it daily for articulation therapy at my school. Gone are the days of pulling out different decks of cards, sorting them into initial/medial/final positions and finding their match for all the different students I work with throughout my day; all I have to do is go to one compact device (my iPad) and use this app that has it all and more! To have all sounds available in all positions of words at the word, carrier phrase, sentence, and reading levels helps manage my office of clutter and simplifies the work space for the students. I am hoping the developers will add the phonemic /r/ sounds (ar, air, ire, or, er) in all word positions to be targeted at the word, carrier phrase, sentence, and reading levels as well. But, the app does allow the user to add your own pictures for target words individualized to the student(s) so I could create my own phonemic /r/ lists/pictures this way but for now I don’t have the time and I’ll keep my fingers crossed they get to it first! The app allows to easily create groups with each student focusing on their own sound(s) in various position(s) and level(s) to individualize each student’s needs to work on their own goals at their own pace. One of my favorite features is the audio record and playback feature. It has already proven effective with my students who typically have difficulty with self-monitoring skills. My students are recognizing hearing themselves say the words incorrectly and are now self-monitoring their sounds better! Lastly, not only does the app have articulation targets but they also have all of the phonological processes to target at the word level as well. I am hoping levels for the carrier phrase and sentence levels for each to become available for students working through increasing the complexity of their speech while targeting phonological processes as well. ### 5/5 — Great for Parents- Homeschool mom *2019-07-04, version 2.6* I purchased this app to help my daughter with her speech during a time when our insurance did not cover speech therapy. The app is excellent! It is very user friendly and my daughter loves doing it. I love that you can specify which sounds you can work on. I also love that you can record your child’s pronunciation. I would recommend this app to parents that want some extra practice for their child. A+++ **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We LOVE to hear from our homeschool parents who are seeing success with the app!! All the best to you and your daughter in her speech journey!! ### 5/5 — A Must Have for the SLP *2019-02-22, version 2.6* This app is your 1 stop shop! It has everything you need for an engaging therapy session. Up the ante easily with words, phrases, sentences, and stories. Collect data in the moment and save valuable therapy time. You will love this app and wonder why you waited so long to get the full version. **Developer response:** Yes! Thank you for your review. If you do a lot of articulation this is definitely the app to have. We're thrilled to hear you are enjoying it!! ### 5/5 — My go-to app *2019-02-14, version 2.6* I love this app. It meets so many a requirements for my articulation students. I would love to be able to work on mixed sounds in sentences. For example f and v in all positions of sentences. ### 5/5 — Need it online *2019-02-13, version 2.6* Love this app! It has phonological processes, group capacity and multiple sound options. I just need to work while I’m working with children online. ### 5/5 — Great for Therapy and collecting Intervention Data *2019-01-11, version 2.6* I love this app. I have been using it for a couple of years now. I love the pictures, my students are motivated to complete the lessons. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Customer Service *2018-09-21, version 2.5* Great customer service with update issues. Use it every day. ### 5/5 — Best articulation app!! *2018-05-30, version 2.5* As a speech language pathologist, I have been using Articulation Station Pro for years and absolutely love it. I use this app every day when I'm working. Parents of my clients have also purchased the app so that they can complete their home program. Kids love the matching game option and it is very easy to incorporate into another fun activity as well. I've even used the app to work on fluency therapy and sentence generation tasks because the images are so clean an clear when compared with other similar apps. Hands down the best articulation app I have used!! **Developer response:** Yay! This review made our day! Thank you for sharing how you use Articulation Station for more than just artic therapy. Yes, it's an articulation app but can be used for so much more with a little creativity! :) ### 5/5 — Favorite artic app! *2017-11-17, version 2.2.3* I have been using this app since it came out and can’t say enough wonderful things about it! My students LOVE being able to click the spin button to see what picture will come next. They almost forget they are doing drill work because it’s so fun for them! It is very user friendly, versatile, and visually appealing to all users. I can’t remember any time I’ve run into issues or bugs, and the developers are great at updating the features to make it even more supportive for progress. My students often request this app over other ones and that says a lot about how great it is. Little bee offers app sales pretty frequently, but this one is worth every penny either way! **Developer response:** Awesome!! Thank you for sharing your experience with Articulation Station Pro. It's great to know your kids enjoy it and that it keeps them engaged. We do have a few sales throughout the year, however even at full price we couldn't agree with you more that it's worth every penny! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not stimulating enough *2022-03-28* Was recommended to purchase this app, however wish I’d looked into other apps and spent my money elsewhere. Great app, however not engaging or stimulating enough for my 3 year old as there is no game or reward it’s just flash cards (which is obviously boring when he has apraxia and its difficult to get him to engage). ### 2/5 — Charged to restore my purchase *2019-12-17, version 2.6* I love this app but unfortunately I was charged a second time when I tried to restore my purchase on my iPad. I have reached out to Apple support and the company but have been told I cannot receive a refund. Therapists beware. ### 2/5 — Limited target words *2016-07-13, version 2.2.3* There are only 5 /st/ words. Are you kidding me!? And one is "stegosaurus." Where are all the good one-syllable /st/ words!? ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2021-01-14, version 2.7.2* I really like this app. For the price I wish that it included a multisyllabic section with 2-4 syllables for weak syllable deletion. I also with that they had blends separated into positions. I love that you are able to add words on your own. I keep meaning to add those to mine. ### 4/5 — Wonderful but... *2020-11-18, version 2.7* When I go to the question portion of the stories, it gets stuck after the first or second question, it does not let me “slide” to the next ones. ### 4/5 — Ok *2019-04-09* It’s ok I love the learning I use it for my 3 year old brother it great! My brother is learning by the minute we practice every day ### 4/5 — A great APP *2018-10-08, version 2.6* I really do like this APP so much better than some of the others out there. I just wish I could select phrases/sentences when I choose to work on multiple syllables (for example, when I have students working on /k, g/ at the same time). It would save a lot of time if I didn’t have to select individual sounds for phrase/sentence levels. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! That's a great suggestion and something we will consider adding in a future update. ### 4/5 — Very helpful but 1 request... *2017-11-28, version 2.2.3* This app is really well done and makes it easy to drill down and figure out which sounds/positions kids are having trouble with. When request that I would have would be to add the option to add sound that automatically plays every time they turn over a card in the memory game. This would be a fantastic way for kids in groups to get auditory bombardment of their words (using headphones plugged into the iPad) while the SLP works with another student. Currently, I told them that they have to touch the cards a second time in order to hear the word if they are playing on their own, but they don't always do it- they are just excited to find the next match! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Great suggestion and we agree that is an option that could add a lot to the memory game. We'll do our best to add it in a future update. ### 4/5 — One request *2016-11-10, version 2.2.3* I only wish this app had a BACK button on each screen. Sometimes I accidentally hit the DONE button and it takes me to scores before my session is done. I have no way of going back. ### 4/5 — This is a great app, wish importing images was easier *2016-09-29, version 2.2.3* I am an SLP and use this all the time. It's a great app though I'm not crazy about a lot of the images (like "smudge"). I have compiled a database of my own images, but it's on Dropbox. It would be great if this app could let you add pictures from there, rather than just the camera roll. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My go-to for Artic students! *2021-11-01, version 2.7.4* I use this daily for all of my students. This is intuitive and easy to use, keeps track of student data, and when they’re bored there are memory and spinning games built in. I wish there was an easier way to use this with my teletherapy students. ### 5/5 — My go to app *2021-09-20, version 2.7.4* I love the pictures and how students can scramble the words. Makes them feel like they are the teacher!!!! ### 5/5 — LOVE *2021-04-15, version 2.7.4* LOVE this app. I am a SLP working in private practice and in schools and this has been my go to years! Easy way to keep data all in one place! Do yourself a favor and buy the Pro version if you are a SLP! ### 5/5 — I use this app almost every day *2020-12-09, version 2.7.2* As an SLP, I have gotten a lot of mileage out of this app. It has a variety of engaging pictures that you can use for a range of age groups. I’ve used it with students from pre-k all the way to high school. The app itself is user friendly. Five stars! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear Articulation Station Pro has been a successful therapy tool for you with a wide range of students! Keep up the amazing work!! ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2020-10-21, version 2.6.9* This app has saved me during distance learning! I have used it with most of my students. I love that there are options of what to do; flash cards or memory. The students never tire of it either. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We're happy you have found Articulation Station Pro so useful with distance learning and that your students have enjoyed it too! ### 5/5 — Rad speech tool! *2020-08-17, version 2.6.9* I absolutely love this app and the ‘series’ in English and Spanish. I just wish there were an evaluation tool in Spanish or for multilingual clients. Could we collaborate? 😉 ### 5/5 — Fantastic app with so many options! *2020-07-21, version 2.6.9* My 4 year old son is using this at home with us to supplement his speech therapy and it is SO HELPFUL! He loves each activity, and catches on quickly. He doesn’t fight or hesitate to repeat the words and articulation because it is fast paced and engaging. Thank you Little Bee! **Developer response:** Thank you!! So happy to hear your son has responded well to the app. That is exactly why we created it. Thank you for making our day!! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2020-04-07, version 2.6.9* My son speech has improve tremendously ### 5/5 — PreK SLP *2020-02-29, version 2.6.8* I use this multiple times across the day. As an itinerant therapist this is a wonderful tool-no card shuffling! ### 5/5 — Articulation Station *2020-01-07, version 2.6* This app is great to keep data on several different sounds. Also great for keeping data on different kids as well --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
