User reviews

Videos broken

I was told to get this app by my employer and was excited to use it. But the videos demoing the exercises are all broken and just show a black box with no was to interact with it. I have emailed the developer and am hoping for a fix, but until then, this app is not usable for me.

The App Shows Black Screen

(2022May) So when you first download the app everything looks fine but when you start seeing the weekly courses the entire pages is blacked out with no graphics once you click on the week you can see the information inside but you have to clicked randomly because the page is blacked out.

Can tell the developer hasnโ€™t touched this in a while but they should Atleast make sure itโ€™s usable if there still going to charge $50 for it.

Currently seeing Myofunctional therapist and was amped to use the app but no I feel like Iโ€™ve wasted cash because who knows when the developer will or read or even fix the issue.

Iโ€™ll change my review to 5 stars upon the fix but until then they have 1 star from me as of 2022May

Best program for tongue thrust therapy

The app is very user-friendly. The videos, lessons, and tips are very helpful for teaching the exercises. I have had great success with all of my clients using this program!

Game changer!

This app has been a game changer for my clients doing tongue thrust remediation. It is clear, simple, and successful for straight forward tongue thrust cases. The videos are easy to follow and having access to them at home has increased home practice. My clients appreciate that the exercises do not take a ton of time and most of them can be done anywhere.
