Preposition Remix: The Musical Way to Master Spatial Skills Turn up the volume on language learning! Developed by certified speech-language pathologist Barbara Fernandes, Preposition Remix is a high-energy, music-themed app designed to help children, English Language Learners (ELL), and individuals with language delays master the "where" in their world. Why Real Photos Matter Unlike abstract cartoons that can be confusing, Preposition Remix uses nearly 200 real-life, high-quality photographs. This concrete visual anchoring helps neurodivergent students and language learners generalize spatial concepts—like under, between, and closest to—from the screen to their everyday environment. Build Your Virtual Band Motivation is the key to progress! As students correctly identify spatial relationships, they earn musical notes to unlock a virtual instrument collection. From guitars to bagpipes, students can tap and play their instruments, turning therapy into a creative jam session. Features for Professionals and Parents: Comprehensive Library: Targets over 20 core prepositions including above, behind, beside, between, under, in front of, inside, closest to, and furthest from. Professional Data Tracking: Automatically logs session dates, targets attempted, and accuracy percentages in a detailed "Report Card". Complete Customization: Toggle individual prepositions on or off to align with specific IEP goals or classroom lessons. Clinical Scaffolding: Adjust feedback settings to include "No Response" for incorrect taps to reduce frustration, or "Written Cues" to support early readers. Multi-Player Support: Manage multiple student profiles on one device, tracking individual progress and instrument collections separately.

iSpeak Button is a single message talker. It is an affordable single communication button. You can record your own personal message, and play it back with the touch of a button. This is perfect for beginning communicators, and people who require a large button surface. You can record over your message as many times as you need. You can add custom text to your button. You can rotate the button from the settings instead of on-the-fly to prevent screen-flip stimming. Button comes in twelve different color choices. The color can be changed from the settings. Need to speak sequences? Search for "iSpeak Sequences", a single switch that says up to 10 phrases you record. Need a grid of buttons? Search for "iSpeak Grid" for up to 16 buttons per screen. Need a full AAC app? "iVocalize" is a great communication app with loads of features for under $10. How to use iSpeak Button: To configure your iSpeak Button, hit the little (i) symbol in the bottom right corner of your device. From here you can enter your text, choose your button color, and enable rotation. To record a message, hit the "Start Recording" button. The circle to the right of the button will spin, this is how you know it is recording. When you are done with your message simply tap the "Stop Recording" button. Be sure your device is capable of recording sound! iPad and iPad2 have built in microphones. All iPhones have microphones. iPod touches 2nd-3rd generation need you to plug in a mic, and 4th has a built in mic. More help can be found on our website: http://www.goatella.com/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: iSpeak Button at $3.99 against Preposition Remix's $24.99. iSpeak Button also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). Preposition Remix's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Preposition Remix holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Preposition Remix has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Preposition Remix's written reviews are positive against 100% of iSpeak Button's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Preposition Remix ships an update every 13 months, iSpeak Button every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
