Nothing is working!
I had used this app last year without any problems. I went to use it this school year and I couldn’t get access. I would try to sign in and it just said I had an account, but wouldn’t open my account. I deleted my previous app and downloaded and paid for a new annual fee access. None of the pictures will download and I found that now I have to pay separately for the games. I get no response from app support. May have to cancel and get a refund. I hate to have to do this. My students really enjoyed the app and we got so many more productions using the app :(

Should’ve read the reviews
I should’ve read the reviews about pictures not downloading before I paid for the pro version. That’s my fault, but am disappointed that I wasted money on an app that doesn’t work. Stick with the free version.
Has Potential
Was super excited at the prospect of this app. I had used the word lists from the website multiple times in therapy before purchasing. After I paid for the pro version I figured out this app doesn't do half of what I want it to. You can edit lists to some extent but it feels like you’re constantly doing “workarounds” to make the app work for you. Can’t easily edit word lists, can’t easily create your own lists by adding photos, can’t create lists of specific words from already existing word lists for one patient. All very frustrating. I have had this app for a few years and still haven’t gotten my money’s worth because of how limited I am in the functionality.

Excellent resource.... with caveats
An excellent course, containing useful material for speech/reading work.
Caveat 1: The course is geared towards American English. If you are studying/teaching British English, you will need to make the occasional adjustment because of vocabulary and cultural priorities.
If you are using the app to assist with British English pronunciation, you will also need to make a few adjustments in various places (as a student, you might want to seek informed guidance).
Caveat 2: The course is designed for children. Some of the sample/practice phrases and sentences may need adjusting too.

No custom pictures/audio on My Vault
I created Christmas 2019 on my Vault. Still no custom pictures/audio!
I thought I would have games
The free version of this app shows a game and tools folder, which you cannot access unless you pay for the pro version, which I did, yet those folders don't exist in the expensive paid for version. I'm confused. Otherwise, the app is user friendly and has a large catalog of materials. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for this and my other grievances.
Additionally, the pictures don't show for all of the words.For example, when I start initial /s/, the first word on the list is 'sack' but when you do the pull down, the first picture is cereal. This is not the only example of this, either. For as much money as this app costs I expected much better.

It’s ok
I bought this to get an increased variety of stimuli and minimal pair practice. I like the vocalic r and vowels section in the artic. But the vowels section (and a few others) do not come with pictures. The minimal pair section has no pictures and is kinda useless. And you have to download each section of pictures individually. Overall, there are lots of useful word lists and stimuli, but it doesn’t seem worth the money without the pictures already loaded and completely missing in many sections.

Crashes
This app keeps crashing on me. Very frustrating
Glitch
In middle of therapy. Phonological stops😡
Still cannot access Pro pictures I had last year!
I love this app, however when purchased the Pro version over a year ago, I never had a problem with the pictures coming up until this year. They just won’t download. I tried problem solving everything and I know it is not the school’s internet because I get the pictures on my phone (while I am also connected to the school’s internet.)
I went so far as to email myself all my student’s progress, then took a huge breath and deleted the app! I re downloaded it to my iPad hoping with fingers crossed that was what it needed but to no avail. I now have the app but NO student profiles.
I will now have to add all my students again.
I will say I emailed Luke, the developer for help and he got back to me with some suggestions but what he suggested still does not work.
Very sad in Texas....

Great concept
For those with no pics in pro, pull down on the word page to see them. Some areas developed than others, but in that same vein of thought, it provides a starting point to help a newbie speech therapist or a family who picks up the app. Seems odd to include topics (like stories), but then only have three. Ideally, you are on an iPad though, so look up the news or a motivational story to keep going. Will look forward to hopefully seeing the makers expand the app in weak areas. Good movement towards being a comprehensive app, just needs more development. I will update my rating, if I see updates over time. I will continue to explore the app, looking for interactive tasks, haven't found them, yet.

SLP Steph
Love using this app. I work in an elementary school and this helps with my big groups. My only complaint is that when I switch between players that it doesn't stay on the item that they where on when we go back to them. If possible on the next upgrade can you make it so that it stays on the item that they where on. Thanks & thanks for all your hard work on this app and your website. Lots of great information.

OK but ...
There is a lot to like about this app - the pictures are lovely and of a good size. The word lists are also very helpful. One problem is accessing the pictures. Even after going to the support on the website, I am still having trouble. I think it should work better for the price, even at half price.

SLP Dream App
Word Vault Pro is an incredible app. The creators thought of everything! I am an outpatient speech-language pathologist and use this app daily. Word Vault is engaging and appropriate for all ages. Children love recording their voices, which helps encourage self-monitoring. Older students enjoy the jokes. I especially love that you can customize pages. This saves me time that I would typically spend making flash cards. This app is worth every single penny. Thank you, Word Vault crew!

I can see the picture
I bought the pro version and I can't see the pictures. Please advise or refund my money
Crashes when selecting student
The app crashes when a student name is selected. It has useful lists but is ineffective for recording data.
App crashes when switching profiles
The app content is great...however, the entire app crashes whenever I switch between client profiles. This is highly disappointing, as the ability to focus on different targets for multiple students was one of the main reasons I purchased this app. I was very excited about this purchase 😕
Inconsistent
I love the premise but get frustrated when I want lists & pictures for final /sh/ and /s/ words show up or I want 3 syllable words and 1 syllable words show up. When I stop on the third sentence and switch students, the sentences go back to the beginning of the list when I return.
Missing Pictures
I am very disappointed - many categories have no pictures. If one chooses a pic it always goes back to first word and doesn't matter what you chose (3 syll etc.). This very expensive app needs a lot more work to be worth it.
Terrific go to app
This is a really great app. Covers everything, so no more printouts! Would like to see stories with figurative language so kids can figure it out by context. A list in this case is not quite good enough. Pictures to go with the idioms
Stories would make it 5 stars.
