Pésimo
Incompleto, con errores, la animación no hace notar la diferencia en la pronunciación. Decepcionante
The perfect addition to my therapy room!
Love this app! When my explanation of placement isn’t working for the students, I use this app to provide a better visual, especially for sounds that are more difficult to see correct placement. I also love the video feature as the students are way more motivated by this than a mirror.
Total waste
Horrible. Author states she is a speech pathologist-she should realize that in presenting phonemes they should be the pure sound such as /p/ or /b/ and not /puh/ or /buh/ adding the schwa sound. I cannot use this app. With my Accent Mod students as the information presented is grossly incorrect. Disappointing.

Upper elementary find this app engaging.
As a SLP hoped it would be good visual support particularly for the /r/. However, it is limited & does not exaggerate enough. Mirror modeling is much better.

Errors make this app unusable in therapy
My clinic paid $8 for this app so we could use it in therapy with clients but we found that a number of the example words for the vowel sounds are incorrect. For example, for /e/, the example words included "bed". Clearly, it isn't pronounced with a long a sound.
A few serious mistakes!
I wanted to improve my English pronunciation; therefore, despite the lack of review for me to determine if this is a good app (and if worths the price – there are similar vowels and Consonants training on a few IPA/language related websites), I went ahead and bought it. After my first session with all vowels and consonants training, my conclusion: it's a less than desired app – too little examples for each sound (just two!) and a little too pricy for what it offers. But what really annoys me is a number of mistakes I spotted, and it makes me lost confidence whether the instruction for each sound is correct.
Examples, k and g's instructions - the vocal cord highlighted but the instruction is for the nasal passage; and one of the examples for the s sound is wrong; "car" doesn't belong to s sound–either the spelling is wrong or the example is wrong.
The developer should goes through every sound and its instructions, then have experts do the quality check and release an update soon.

School SLP
I feel that this app doesn't accurately depict the correct way to produce sounds. I also don't like that all consonants are paired with a vowel. It plays the demo so quickly it's hard for students to see what to do. Waste of $8.
Disappointed
Thought this would be a great tool to assist my struggling articulation student who can't get that hated /r/ sound. This was absolutely no help! Definitely not for students who have cognitive limitations as the directions given (despite the visual) are very scientific and hard to understand if you aren't an SLP. /r/ phoneme is prompted as "er" and it does not offer instruction for all vocalic r's. Side view is better for alveolar/fricative/affricate sounds showing the students correct contact points if they have difficulty with an SLP model. Does offer a frontal view for each sound but unless it's a speech sound articulated with your lips, its useless. I wouldn't spend the money on this, use your iPad and create video models yourself.

Great tool!!
I have used this app with both students and adults, during therapy sessions and at parent meetings to demonstrate and teach clients and their families correct placement. I used to use my own drawings with arrows ( pathetic, I know) but the dynamic quality of the app allows folks who are not SLPs appreciate both the complexities and subtleties of the movements of speech. Thanks for a great tool!

Pretty good app, but...
Over all a pretty good app. I wish it had a little more content to the app and gave a variety of examples. Would recommend as a basic app to a friend!
Great for consonants production
This app is great to view clearly the production of Standard American speech sounds from the inside. You can clearly see the movement of the articulators as well as voicing at the larynx. The only caveat is that it is incomplete with some missing vowel phonemes (only 7 here).
Great app
I found this app to be very helpful as it provides clients with visual cues of placement of tongue inside the oral cavity, great app!!
*Very Supportive*
This app has been very helpful in supporting a visual understanding that is needed for my little guy to produce sounds ask of him. Once again hats off to Smarty Ears.
And I have to say for those continually leaving reviews in regards to cost of apps, please take into consideration what it takes to produce these apps. This app is at a very fair market price.

Don't waste your money!
Worst app I have ever brought...is there a way to get money back?
Where is it?
There used to be a cam that would show the person's production next to the demo, buy now it doesn't have it. All you see is the demo.
Not helpful for /r/
The tongue tip does not go up and back.
Love the recording feature!!
This app is great to show placement during speech therapy groups! My students LOVE the self-recording option and are having a lot of fun with it. Great job!
Excellent therapy tool
Over the last week I have used this app to assist in tongue placement in articulation therapy and to implement goals for developing oral resonance from the Boone voice program using the dynamic visuals as one of many therapy tools. Thank you! A fantastic app for therapists and I was a little reluctant to purchase it.

Speech trainer
I really love this app, my son and daughter both receive speech and this has been a helpful tool when the speech therapist isn't here. They both enjoy watching the side and front version and really like to see themselves in the mirror next to the speech trainer.
Love!
This is a great visual to use with kids! They like the lateral view that helps them produce their target sound.
