Speech Tutor

It is an O. Trust me on this. Good idea, bad implementation.

As a Speech Therapist and consumer seeking therapeutic support through digital means, I eagerly downloaded this with hopes of accessing robust tools promised to aid in therapy. However, my experience with the app has left me profoundly disappointed and disillusioned. One of the most glaring deficiencies is the lack of essential features necessary for effective therapy. Basic functionalities such as progress tracking, goal setting, and personalized interventions are conspicuously absent or severely limited. These omissions significantly diminish the app's utility for individuals seeking genuine therapeutic support. Moreover, the few tools that are available often feel rudimentary and ineffectual. For an app commanding a premium price tag, users rightfully expect sophisticated and evidence-based interventions. Instead, it offers a bare minimum of exercises and generic advice that hardly justify its exorbitant cost. In essence, this app embodies the epitome of marketing for speech therapy over substance. Its sleek design and slick marketing may initially captivate users, but the lack of substantive therapeutic tools renders it ultimately impotent. As a consumer, I cannot in good faith recommend this to others seeking genuine support for their articulation skills. The app's failure to deliver on its promises is not only disappointing but also concerning, as it raises questions about the integrity of its developers and their commitment to prioritizing user well-being over profit margins.

This is the first app I bought for showing students how to make the sound. I still use this app for students having difficulty forming sounds, especially back sounds.

I love to use this app to model what is happening in the mouth. The side view is especially helpful. I also like the visuals of where the tongue should be placed

What happened to this app? I admit I haven’t used it in a few years, but it doesn’t even work anymore. It says it has to be connected to the internet (I don’t remember that being necessary), but the app can’t connect to the internet (my iPad is connected and working fine). Completely useless. Now there’s a pro version that’s $60?!?! So disappointing.

I feel duped. You get very very little features for the initial price. If you want the app to be even remotely usable, you need to upgrade to the pro version. Super sad I wasted my money on this app.

I use this app with all of my artic, dysarthria and apraxia. The clear visuals really help my clients build awareness and improve their skills!

I really do love this app! Kids are receptive to it and enjoy it too. It is convenient for longer sessions or even for quick 5 minute sessions.

I paid this app for 3 years ago- worked beautifully for providing visual cueing during articulation therapy. Made the mistake of upgrading the app and it's a complete disaster. They added so much stuff and NOT in a cool, easy to use way.... would've been better if they just created separate apps. Graphics are cheap - and now, the one feature I loved about it ( the sagital view of inner oral cavity) is hidden under videos that don't completely fill up my iPad screen. If you're gonna overhaul a product this way, please test it out with USERS first. This upgrade feels like you hired a HS student to develop it cause it was cheap. Wish I could my money back!

I’ve found great value in the video aspect of this app. Some students have had “aha” moments when watching videos of how to produce the sound and when creating videos.
