$$$$ pricey (3 stars)
This is a great app. If you cut the price in half it would be worth it. My daughter loves playing this but flash cards and computer games are much less and do the same thing. I just want the convenience of having it with me when she needs a distraction. Plz lower your prices!

Great Artic app (5 stars)
I really like this app and so do the kids that I work with in therapy. Some of the things I like are the quality of the pictures, helpful teaching hints for each sound, and how easy it is to manuever through the app. I do have a few suggestions though. I know you can skip pictures at will, but I would like it if the words were presented in order by number of syllables instead of mixed and that goes for the sentence level as well. Next I woul

/s/ blends need work (3 stars)
I am a practicing SLP working with preschool aged students. I was very impressed with the free /p/ app that I downloaded. Cute pictures and functional words. I love the rotating sentences as well. I hastily downloaded a few other sounds since they were 40% off until tomorrow. I am not impressed with the /s/ sounds, particularly the blends. I didn't pay attention but there is no /sn/ or /sm/. Some of the /st/ words are not preschool friendly-
