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 :(

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.
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?
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.
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.
This would be a great tool if it were more accurate. It gave me good reviews for my w/r substitution. I only tried the lite version however.
I love this idea as a speech teacher, unfortunately this app doesn't work. It cannot differentiate between correct and incorrect /r/ very well. If it is a clear /w/ the app seems to register it as incorrect most of the time and some correct /r/s are marked incorrect. This app will just provide inconsistent, confusing feedback to students.
I am giving this 3 stars for effort only. I really wish that this app worked but it does not differentiate well enough for adequate feedback. It gave positive feedback when /r/ was glided. This is such a great concept because that darn /r/ is a tricky thing to learn and this app would be fantastic for younger AND older people alike. I tried the free lite version and would buy it in a heartbeat if it worked better. Please improve its accuracy!
Good idea, but doesn't work on the latest iOS. Words are not displayed on the screen, so it is impossible to know what to say!
This is almost great. I get some green lights on words with a bad 'R', but this is a really good idea.
