Wonderful App

use it for a few years, wonderful App

Adds schwa to plosives

Not okay when trying to teach a child!

Incorrect representations

As a speech pathologist, I purchased this to show my students how to produce certain sounds. Unfortunately, the animation of the tongue only represents what the middle of the tongue is doing, not the sides of the tongue. For example, for the /s/ sound, the sides of the tongue brace against the hard palate. The animation on the app, in contrast, suggests that the tongue never touches the hard palate to produce the /s/ sound.

Not happy with it

I baught this app to usein my class. When I tried it in class full screen option did not work. I am disappointed. The website used to be free and was much more practical.

Don't buy this app

I found the website very interesting. I thought the app would be the same as the website (including the English language). This was a false propagandist. The application does not present any learning tools (it is not the same as the website). Don't buy this app. Whoever created this app stole US$3.90 (plus tax) from me!
