### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2017-05-25, version 1.7*

This is my favorite Artic app!  The kids love it, and it feels like play instead of work.

### 4/5 — Fun and good pace

*2015-05-07*

My students enjoy this app and I like the ways it can be customized.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-04-18, version 1.3*

I bought this when it was on sale because I wanted an articulation app that had more to it than flash cards and matching games. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but every group of kids I've used it with has loved it. It is very easy to use, and the kids enjoy the rotating activities.  I think it is well-worth the price and a great addition to any SLP's artic tool kit.
