### 2/5 — All words disappeared

*2024-03-30*

Can’t call up the flash cards, not sure what is going on

### 5/5 — U

*2023-09-29*

Can.  U add vowels and blend and diegraphs? It is really tough for my students

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-01-13*

I love this app as well but agree that more words would be nice as sometimes we will work on the same words for several weeks before mastery and it can get quite repetitive. Plus the selected 10 words are sometimes too difficult for the students.

### 5/5 — Amazing for kids with speech issues

*2022-12-09*

This app is great for any kids with speech issues, also for new English learners.  It’s a bit expensive, but worth it.

### 4/5 — Wonderful app but a issue!

*2022-05-28, version 2.8.1*

I just wanted to say this is a wonderful app but you only get like a couple words like example P for free and I think the rest aren’t thank you for this app. I graduated from speech in February. I appreciate this app.

### 4/5 — Need app on iMac

*2022-03-21, version 2.8.1*

I love using this app for conducting speech therapy sessions.  However, it is only for iPad and iPhone. I would love for it to be available for desktop/iMac . Of course, I can screen share from my iPhone or iPad, but the kids lose the interactive experience, and it’s not as enjoyable for them.  Please make a desktop version of this app!

### 2/5 — Not-so-free, not even close

*2022-01-09, version 2.8.1*

*The two star rating is not a reflection of the quality of this app but the unreasonable cost for family usage.
I have a child with special needs whose been in speech therapy for nearly 5 years with no end in sight. This app came highly recommended from an SLP after my child used it during a session and they actually engaged and had zero meltdowns!! Of course that alone made me want it immediately so, when I saw there was a pro version and a free version I assumed the pro version was aimed towards SLP’s with advanced tools to record scores and such and the free version was more so for at home play for kids in speech. Well, my assumption was WAY wrong! We simply can’t afford a $60 app when we already spend such an insane amount on therapy itself. I wish there was a cheaper option for families that didn’t include paying +/- $5 per letter/sound.
It’s abhorrent that everything targeted towards kids with special needs is priced super high because companies know that parents will ultimately pay the price because their child needs it.
For now I will seek out another app in hopes of finding something of similar quality and a more affordable price.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2021-05-20, version 2.7.4*

This app is so helpful with my 3 year old boy and ho is struggling with his pronunciations. What a difference it has made so far, and so happy that our speech therapist had recommended this app!

### 5/5 — Life changing articulation app for kids.

*2021-05-19, version 2.7.4*

Little Bee Speech has really outdone themselves with this app. Not only is this the most beautiful, most user intuitive and crazy powerful articulation app for toddlers, it’s also very fairly priced for what you’re getting. 
Using this app with my toddler was an absolute game changer.  He struggled with b and p’s and and every letter after, and since using this app with his speech therapist it has  improved significantly. 

If you’re on the fence about this app, please follow my advice! You can try the free version do the app for free with the letter P and see for yourself. If you like it, buy it but I recommend you buy the full “articulation station pro” app so you can share it with other family members (grandparents, wife or husband, etc) and they would have the chance to practice with the kids too. 

Don’t waste your time with the other apps. It’s worth spending a few dollars for a child struggling

### 5/5 — Masterpiece of human engineering. Hands best articulation app.

*2021-05-19, version 2.7.4*

Let me pre-face this review with the information that my son is struggling with speech since he started babbling. After Many months of speech therapy we saw only marginal improvement. 

Our speech therapist recommended this app. I promptly downloaded the free trial and let me save you some time. 

This is without a doubt the best articulation app in existence. There’s a reason it’s the go to app for speech therapists and worth every penny. 

If you don’t have viable insurance, this app is a steal. If you have the best insurance, the app is a steal. 

Please support this company so it can continue to make apps that’s change kids lives.
