Pocket SLP Articulation

A highpriced app that doesnt look finished There is mention of tutorials but none can be found There is no Help file or Getting Started No one tells you that the studentclient list is really your own iPad contacts list and you dont have discrete class rosters within the app When you finally stumble on an exercise and get a result you are offered a chance to email it but the dialog simply asks you report info options and never leads to an actual email screen to enter a destination No way to print or transfer to other apps for processing Record and playback is implied but couldnt be found Pretty worthless Wish I could get a refund     Not Ready for Prime Time

Sad to say Ive gone back to artic cards Since the update it doesnt function properly Often have to push result five or more times to get out and change sound Not user friendly at all Takes to much time to work Not practical when limited on therapy time Please fix     Terrible since update

The upgrade has been awesome I really like how I can the pick the pictures                 Great Update

Helpful during drill Downfall is it can freeze and take awhile for results to generate           Speech therapist

This app was better before the updates I loved it when I first got it Now if the time on your device is incorrect an incorrect time is recorded on the students record It would be nice to have time stamp options onoff More importantly I wish that the reports were still separated into initial medial and final positions It is much more difficult to do client analysis with all the scores for a phoneme lumped together My rating of this app will increase dramatically if these features are restored           Loved the earlier version

I use this app everyday in speech therapy Its easy to use and the pictures are great I would really like it if you were able to log in multiple users with multiple target sounds and switch between students              Great app

I paid 2999 for this app a year or so ago and it was definitely not worth it Its constantly freezing and crashing which makes me only using it if I have nothing else on me It takes an entire minute just for the results screen to pop up after a completed sound I would use it way more if it wasnt such a fail May not be as upset if Id had only paid the 999 I see its worth now Think twice before buying it        Not reliable

I said it all It is great but please fix it           It is not working with the last update But it

Like the feature to have student repeat word phrase or sentence to listen to their own pronunciations Downside with no medial or final productions of r I havent used this long so hoping not same problem with other phonemes Hope r is included in updates Going to need more than just initial r           Okay but needs more work

Ive used this app often with the preschoolers I serve I got it on sale for 5 which was a steal but I think its worth the19 PROS It has a nice variety of stimuli for each sound in each position I like that you have an option for phrase level Its a quick and easy way to have an entire set or artic cards right at your fingertips CONS the buttons are small and finicky My students have a difficult time pressing the speaker button or record In the quick quiz mode you have yo choose phrase or sentence each time you go to a new word This isnt the case if you go to a students profile I also use articulation station which I do like better but for half the price this is a good alternative              Good app for the price

This was one of my favorite apps until the latest update I used to be able to collect data on a group of students working on different sounds at various levels and have individualized data charts according to sound position in the word and at the word phrase or sentence levels NOW ITS A FRUSTRATING MESS data shows for one student on all reports for all students in the same session charts cant be created for sounds in other positions of words besides initial data has been taken for different students on the same sound but at different levels but the charts will only show for the word level for both students and the issues go on and on What is the point of taking data when it cant be individualized I will be using another app unless the issues are fixed     SLP

I recently updated this app and though its does work faster it deleted my students settings Still having to rely on pen and paper to keep up with who is addressing which sound and at what level because some dont save from session to session Prior to this recent update I was unable to switch from student to student without shutting down the app altogether and reopening Finally after several attempts it would word again     Pocket SLP

I loved this app before the most current update Now my kiddos data is getting mixed up and the settings for word phrase and sentence arent working I have emailed the company twice without any response This used to be my favorite and now I cant stand using it     Major issues

Ive been using this app with my artic students for over a year and you make data collection so convenient Great job                 Love the new update

Love the update Thx sooooooo much Sad though When I updated ALL of my previous client info was deleted Or I just cant find it Also how do u delete past client names                 Quickie

I was so disappointed with the upgrade I loved this app but now I have to continuously go through the same pictures and it takes a long time to change sounds and levels Plus even one of my students laughed when a sentence popped up that used the word gonna Thats not a great way to promote good language Please go back to the older version        Disappointed

There are very few positives about the updated pocket artic This app used to be my goto app since it was quick and easy before the update Now it crashes all the time the cards do not advance without multiple attempts and they are repeated frequently during the same session even before the end of the deck has been reached and you have to create profiles to even access the phoneme screen In the past I used this app for quick screenings since it would open right up to the phoneme page and I could very quickly jump from phoneme to phoneme Not anymore Though I really like the photos used on the cards this app is definitely not the best artic app out there     Want the old version back

I have used this app for progress monitoring and appreciate the data analysis However the developers need to update their stimulus items Many are so strange ie My arm fell off Plus there are only a few items for some phonemes particularly thI have requested these changes previously but apparently they dont listen to the SLPs using their apps or something           SLPAnnie

Some pros I really like the target words that are used and all target phonemes are available which is awesome The real pictures are much less abstract for the kids vs Line drawn pics in othe apps Some cons App frequently crashes App freezes up when trying to access results from target word page Would like more words for sounds at least 10 for each sound in each position or the ability to add your own Would like the ability to access the client profile from the target word page Some kids cant handle going through multiple sounds at the same time and I usually have to start the app all over again just to switch to a different sound because of the glitch with getting to the results from the target word screen I like the changes they have made in the past Now there is the ability to go from word level to phrase and sentence level without going back into the client profile And you dont have to add kids to your contact list anymore you can add them just to the app           Great target words but confusing settings

The update is the version of the app that I have I notice that many people have said it is crashing but I havent had that problem I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5 I love that it is so easy to switch between words phrases and sentences My other artic app doesnt do that I also love that it tracks data including approximations lets you have several students at a time nice quality pictures and recording features                 Works great for me

Great app for artic drill and collecting data              Great

I dont like the results mixing together Does crash sometimes I use on iPad too Please fix the scoringresults           Still use but

I have changed schools and need to delete all of my previous students off of this app I cant find a way to delete them Help           Deleting issues

It would be better if it used the iPads capacity to switch between apps without having to reopen it every time it would be nice to reward children with the option of playing a different app for doing their work It would also be nice if it would automatically save rather than having to click the save scores button Some of the words are not appropriate for preschool children the words are blends or 23 syllable words which are really difficult for the smaller children Plus I feel for how long weve waited for an update it was a little disappointing For 30 I would hope to see a little more involvement to improve the app           It

There are too many good apps out there for articulation There are bugs in this appsome of the text does not match audio Do not like any of the pocket slp apps I also wish there would be a way to slow down the audiosentences are spoken too fast     Would not recommend

I used to love this app and I used it on a daily basis Since the update I hardly ever use it You cant count on it working due to it CRASHING ALL THE TIME     Crashes constantly since the update

I want the old version back Having to put in last names and target phoneme takes too much time I like to be able to pick the phoneme on a session bases I cant get percentages for initial medial and final position as easily as the previous version        Want old version back

Hearing their recording and comparing with the audio model presented helps the child self evaluate What a great therapy tool                 Great teaching device

Pros lots of good stimulus words more than other apps I own kids love it can select exactly what level you wants kids to word at less buggy than before nice visuals to tongue placement convenient My most used app Cons lots of annoying bugs easy transitions for groups sometimes the visuals dont show the right sound sometimes have to push record playback button multiple times slowing the process           Great stimulus items crashes all the time

App is just ok I usually use it for variety in pictures Need to be able to switch to sentence level within the app As it is now you must exit the app go to setting pick the app and change levels then go back to the app There are better apps wilth more features This one for me is just for variety I keep my data elsewhere when using it           Pocket SLP

This app is easy to track data for multiple students at the same time I love that it graphs the data so I can easily share progress The kids are motivated to see their scores go up as well                 Great data tracking

The students like it I love that you can have different groupings of students working together on different sounds and at different levels if you want It would be perfection if there were also the possibility of a memory game or a couple of game boards to add to the mix              Pocket artic

Ever since the update I cant get past the client list without it crashing     Not usable at all since the update

I really like the recent updates Great for progress monitoring and wonderful visuals for students to follow their own progress HOWEVER it constantly crashes Please please fix this        Nice features but crashes

Not sure what the problem is But since I downloaded the update it just keeps crashing I have yet to be able to use it with a kid     It keeps crashing

I use this app almost every day Pros quick and easy The kids are more willing to do their work Simple data management Ability to track more than one kid Visual for placement of sound Recordplayback feature Multiple Rs that are separated Ability to do mixed placement to target carryover Cons Data mixes word phrase sentence levels if addressed in the same session Inability to target one blend ie sl without going through ALL of the words and removing the ones I dont need Doesnt remember initialmedialfinal position for next session No carryover activities Student list doesnt rotate to horizontal view No option to track imitative vs spontaneous response Needs more word choices for each blend Hope the update fixes the crashing Overall a good app but hoping to see some improvements           Need better data tracking

I love the updates One thing I noticed though is it says he for a she picture One of my 4 year old clients asked if I could fix it I said Id try                 Great app

This would be a great app if it actually had sound the option to record and was less difficult to operate Also words arent learned at first trial The picture should repeat the word by tapping the picture Not move on     Not Worth It

So useful for traveling SLPs                 Love it

This app is great Dont let the bad reviews fool you I am a practicing SLP in both the schools and private practice and spend my money cautiously on products It is worth the cost I use this every day with all my artic kids and they respond to it consistently It is easy and effective with great scoring Parents love the emails showing their childs scores Thank you pocket SLP Keep designing apps for us                 Excellent Product

I havent found a way to delete clients once they have graduatedmovedetc           Deleting clients

I was really excited about this update and the first couple of times I used it were great Love all the new features that have been added to improve the app I would have given it five stars if it didnt crash all the time now I literally cant make it through one session without the app shutting off or freezing which makes me lose all my data for that session and wastes valuable time Like I said I love all the new features but would love for the app to be more stable and reliable Also just a side note when the word and picture for orange are on the screen the app says orbit           Laurenslp

This is a useful app I like Articulation Station better That one has better graphics sounds and is more engaging But there are some pros to this app also This app has the option for phrase level practice which is missing on the other apps And I like that the pictures are real instead of cartoon drawings           Okay

I really like this app but I just installed the update and now it wont load before it crashes Please fix     Wont load

I use this app almost daily but am frustrated because it often crashes or will not open I also have trouble getting the results button to activate If you could remedy these problems Id give it all 5 stars Thanks           Great app but some problems

I like the new updates but it crashes all the time I miss the old version at least it never crashed           Its OK

I used to use this app often as it was the first of its kind but with every update it gets worse Developer says they have a lot if stimulus cards but the words repeat often The most frustrating part is you Are FORCED to make a student profile before you can even begin Then you have to navigate back to said profile anytime you want to do something different be it switch phonemes or word phrase levels Plus the data all gets jumbled up into one score where it used to be separate scores for each sound position I now use Artikpix and Articulation Station instead Theyre Easy to usescore clear pictures and no headaches        Poor updates

I do like the real photos but many are too hard for initial teaching and cant separate them You say to sync nameswith what All sync apps send me to sites where I have friendsclients do not need to be on these lists     Not sure

The pictures for tongue movement were great but the sound doesnt always work The pictures are ok but as a school therapist its to frustrating to use in groups since it doesnt allow you to work with multiple students at one time Its way to expensive for what you get The money would be worth it if the app allowed you to switch between students     Dont buy

Great app for an SLP Not meant for parent use I use it with my kiddos everyday to track progress and for fast drills It will not teach your kids how to say the sound That is YOUR job but its good for practicing sounds Would give five stars if more pics were available or a feature that allowed you to create your own cards within the program              Great
