User reviews

Great app, could be improved

It works great as a free app for somebody that wants to work on their speech therapy. It could use Bluetooth headphone support and some instructions or suggestions about how much / how often to use to really push it over the edge

Great possibilities!

Love all the features in this app. My one concern is that there really are no directions for the exercises. Are you supposed to say the sound/word once in that time limit, or several times? Looking forward to updates! Also, description does not mention if this is bluetooth-compatible, so I assume it is not. That would be nice.
