### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-08-29*

As a Medical Speech-Language Pathologist who specializes in voice and swallowing, I love this app. I routinely perform Laryngeal Videostroboscopies, and when first starting out, this app was indispensable. I would have paid more for longer videos, but it's a minor thing - you can gain the most pertinent info of vocal fold pathology from the clips included. 

The app is easy to navigate and you can switch between the audio and video for each case study easily.  Thank you for these apps! I wish you would make one complete one with all modules - it would be worth $20 easily!
