### 2/5 — A little embarrassing

*2018-02-12, version 1.3*

I love the way this app breaks down vocalic r. However I was disappointed when I saw Mount Rushmore listed as North Dakota. Mount Rushmore is in Rapid City South Dakota. 
Explaining this to a student was kinda embarrassing to say that this app made this mistake.

### 5/5 — Worth buying

*2015-10-09, version 1.3*

I love this app. It has tons of targets especially for the prevocalic /r/. I can keep track of multiple clients in one session and easily transfer targeted /r/ sounds from one client to the next. Keeps data for each client.

### 5/5 — Fun with R

*2015-08-21, version 1.3*

This program covers all the variations of "r words" from initial "r" to blends and the various vocalic forms. There are 3 games which the children enjoy while practicing their R words. Scoring consists of "Good, almost, and unacceptable" buttons. Good scorekeeping for data collection.
