### 3/5 — Ok

*2020-12-29, version 1.1.0*

I like how there is a video of a real mouth and a diagram of a profile but they go too fast, especially the diagram. Also for the tracing portion, why is the middle line 2/3 up and not in the actual middle??

### 3/5 — Useable but limited

*2015-06-19, version 1.0.0*

This is a simple to use app that does not require instructions. It works slowly on my third generation iPad and often the sound file will not play with the animation example. Also, the playback of my recordings are very low and require a headphone.
