### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2026-06-16, version 1.0*

Paid and Downloaded the app and keep getting an error message 'you are not using the latest version of Bitsboard. Please update Bitsboard in the App Store so that you can use these features again'.  I downloaded the named app and have no success in being able to use minimal pairs

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-02-17, version 1.0*

I use this app with my clients all the time. It’s great and free!

### 1/5 — Only purchase if wanting blend pairs

*2023-08-08, version 1.0*

Disappointing purchase, not appropriate for speech therapy as only features blends and some odd minimal pairs (e.g. f-h).

### 3/5 — Not horrible, needs to be updated

*2021-02-07, version 1.0*

Opened after purchasing and says it needs to be updated??? There are more minimal pairs available than it shows, but you have to dive into the settings to actually see it all. Still, it only targets initial sounds. You can add pictures, but you have to do that through the settings within that board, which is not obvious. The activities are good, but some of the boards are limited. I haven’t figured out if there’s a way to add your own boards.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2020-07-01, version 1.0*

First, app says I must update..try to, but doesn’t allow me this function.  Too bad..

### 1/5 — Only initial sounds

*2020-05-14, version 1.0*

I was looking for minimal pairs for final final at deletion. This app was only for initial. Super disappointed. Wish I could return.

### 4/5 — Great for the pairs it has

*2019-11-16, version 1.0*

Needs more types of pairs like f/p and would be great to have FCD pairs and other phono options.

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2019-11-03, version 1.0*

Won’t let me use features because it says I have to update the app , but there is no option for updating it. Also, only has minimal pair sounds in word initial position. Waste of money.

### 2/5 — Speech Pathologist

*2019-10-01, version 1.0*

This app only has initial minimal pairs.

### 1/5 — App not updating

*2019-08-09, version 1.0*

Won’t let me access features because it says I need to update my app. This option is not available in the App Store and I’m limited to a few features after purchasing
