Hi Brookevera, the sound on all of our apps is controlled by the side switch button on the iPad. If the side switch button is engaged the app will be muted. On our facebook page you will find a detailed explanation of how to fix this (it is one quick button) or you can check out this link: https://www.lifewire.com/ipad-side-switch-behavior-4103818. We hope that this will fix the problem for you! Thank you again for checking out the app!

So worth it!!

I work as a speech-language pathologist assistant and my non verbal kiddos who are just learning to speak love this app!!! The animations are so cute and get their attention! They immediately turn their head and look at the video! The phrases are helpful and sang very well! One of my clients just started saying "Done" and "bye bye" regularly after a couple weeks. Singing the phrases makes it fun! Get this app :)

So creative!

What an interesting idea! Great app! It's easy to use. The drawings are beautiful. I work with a few kids who have limited language. Can't wait to try this out. I know they already enjoy using the iPad and love looking at videos. This is so practical for them!

Very useful app

This app is very useful, and works well with my child. It is easy to use. In my opinion this is a small price to pay for a lifetime of better language and communication skills for my kid.

We are happy that this app was useful to you and your child! We are a clinician-owned company and we know the importance of affordable easy-to-use apps from personal experience. We love when parents are involved in speech therapy. We've found children make much more progress with parent involvement! Kudos to you!

Okay...

Love the idea and EBP behind this. Not sure the ten 2-3 second clips are worth $4.00 though. Would love to see more added.

Thank you for your review! We are a clinician-owned company and know the importance of a tool that is evidence-based and affordable. We take your recommendations seriously and have already hired the musician to sing 10 more melodies and the artist to create more cartoons! Look for updates to the app soon!
