Disappointed

I would love this app if it actually worked but it’s not very accurate. It’s good for a /w/ for /r/ but it treats distorted r sounds as correct. The feedback is too inconsistent to be used in therapy. Bummer :(

Not worth the time

I was excited about the idea, but whatever sound I made it gave a yellow light. It does not differentiate a correct /r/ from any other sound.

Good idea but not accurate

This app has a great idea but unfortunately falls short of its goal. Many productions are counted as correct when they are inaccurate distortions. The kids love the graphics for feedback. Too bad it is inaccurate. Could the accuracy be fixed?

Not always accurate

This is a good idea, but it is not alway accurate. It appears to be less accurate with the girls I have used it with in speech therapy than with the boys.

Not worth the money!

So I downloaded this app and tried it with my fifth graders. They really liked the graphics, but the feedback for their sound productions was way off!! One student made a loud raspberry sound, instead of an R, and the app gave him credit for a clear R sound production! The students all agreed that I should delete the app, because it wasn't worth the money. I gave it one star for the great graphics.
