Pros:
- The pictures are clear.
- You can easily add your own images.
- When the client has finished, the app enables you to save the recordings and play them back. This information can then be printed or emailed to your computer and be accessed later as an outcome measure.
- It can record up 6 children in a group session.
- It is a FUN app, which engages children.
- It reduces the amount of paper needed both in therapy sessions and the amount of paper activities given to parents to take home and practise.
Cons:
As of yet there is nothing that I have found that I dislike about the app, it has recently been updated and so far is the best articulation app I have found on the market.
Cost: At £34.99 it is an affordable app for clinicians using it regularly. However, it is a little costly for parents to download if their child is only working on one or two key sounds. To overcome this, there is a free version on the app, which gives you one free sound and allows you to download individual sounds as you wish at £1.99 a time.
