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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Update required?!! *2018-12-01* The app for 99p is great but it's not finished. There are not enough pictures in the sets, for example; 'sm' has 4 examples and for some reason my iPad won't allow me to access my photos to add to more pictures to the sound sets. The app repeatedly comes up with the message 'app requires update...' However, when you click on update there is none?! ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2017-11-28, version 1.0* I love this apps ability to pair words and the fact that it is free... I was a bit disappointed that there are so few word pairs on here already and the app doesn't have a picture bank to create my own cards. The only way for me to do this is to upload photos from the Internet. Because of this I rate it 4 stars... To be expected considering the app is free, but it could be a bit better. ### 4/5 — Very Handy *2017-03-20, version 1.0* Thanks for this great free app. It's handy to have these minimal pairs on my phone. ### 4/5 — Great for the SLP *2017-03-09, version 1.0* This app is great for SLPs targeting minimal pairs in therapy. A time saver! ### 4/5 — Great app! *2017-02-28, version 1.0* I LOVE this app! The pictures are colorful and engaging. My other minimal pairs apps have boring pictures and only flash cards. This app has wonderful pictures and a variety of activities to work with them. This app may become a staple on my iPad inventory. ### 5/5 — Very nice minimal pair app! *2017-02-24, version 1.0* Very nice minimal pair app! It has many different sets of minimal pairs. I was glad to see that it had my most common sets that I use in speech: r/w and l/w! Thanks for a great app! ### 4/5 — Minimal Pairs *2017-02-24, version 1.0* I believe that this APP is a great reference tool that will provide quick and interesting content! ### 5/5 — Great Speech Therapy Resource *2017-02-24, version 1.0* As a speech-language pathologist it is great to see a new minimal pair app that has a variety of activities. This could be adapted for many uses. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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). ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-06-02, version 1.0* Cannot add my students to the app as keeps telling me to update but when I try to update co es up with error. Disappointed ### 2/5 — Speech Pathologist *2019-10-01, version 1.0* This app only has initial minimal pairs. ### 2/5 — Nice concept *2017-12-05, version 1.0* I bought this app without knowing you need the bitsboard app. I downloaded that app but still continually get a message that I can't use this app until I update the bitsboard app. If I could get it to work it might be worth buying... ### 2/5 — Disgustada *2017-09-04, version 1.0* Saludos¡ Compre la aplicación porque indicaba que estaba en idioma español. Al verificar sólo cuenta con tres idiomas( ingles, alemán y francés). Está buena pero no me funciona ahora mismo. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-02-12, version 1.0* It is is simple to use and great for speech therapy on the go ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-11-10, version 1.0* Great for my kiddos! ### 5/5 — Review *2017-08-09, version 1.0* I like the ideas particularly when you can use your own pictures ### 5/5 — Maxine *2017-05-12, version 1.0* Good initial sound discrimination ### 5/5 — Another winner! *2017-03-10, version 1.0* They have done it again! Another app that makes life as a therapist that much easier. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Nice App *2017-03-05, version 1.0* Nice app! I love that it has so many pairs. I can use it for my ELL students to differentiate beginning sounds. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2017-02-27, version 1.0* Very useful with the little ones ### 5/5 — Great SLP resource *2017-02-26, version 1.0* Excited to add this to my therapy collection. My students love it. The pictures are great. ### 5/5 — Vocabulary Builder *2017-02-24, version 1.0* I'm a resource teacher, working with ELL and dyslexic students. This app will be great to expand their vocabulary and work on rhyming words. There are 4 different games to play. Three teach the vocabulary of similar sounding words. Photo Touch is fun because the student chooses the correct word of two pictures. It doesn't have an annoying buzz if the student misses it. It just puts a red "X" on the wrong answer and removes it . Then the child can select the correct answer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
