Articulation Station Pro App Reviews

This app is your 1 stop shop! It has everything you need for an engaging therapy session. Up the ante easily with words, phrases, sentences, and stories. Collect data in the moment and save valuable therapy time. You will love this app and wonder why you waited so long to get the full version.

I love this app. It meets so many a requirements for my articulation students. I would love to be able to work on mixed sounds in sentences. For example f and v in all positions of sentences.

I really do like this APP so much better than some of the others out there. I just wish I could select phrases/sentences when I choose to work on multiple syllables (for example, when I have students working on /k, g/ at the same time). It would save a lot of time if I didn’t have to select individual sounds for phrase/sentence levels.

I love this app. I have been using it for a couple of years now. I love the pictures, my students are motivated to complete the lessons. Thank you!!!

Love this app! It has phonological processes, group capacity and multiple sound options. I just need to work while I’m working with children online.

Great customer service with update issues. Use it every day.

As a speech language pathologist, I have been using Articulation Station Pro for years and absolutely love it. I use this app every day when I'm working. Parents of my clients have also purchased the app so that they can complete their home program. Kids love the matching game option and it is very easy to incorporate into another fun activity as well. I've even used the app to work on fluency therapy and sentence generation tasks because the images are so clean an clear when compared with other similar apps. Hands down the best articulation app I have used!!

This app is really well done and makes it easy to drill down and figure out which sounds/positions kids are having trouble with. When request that I would have would be to add the option to add sound that automatically plays every time they turn over a card in the memory game. This would be a fantastic way for kids in groups to get auditory bombardment of their words (using headphones plugged into the iPad) while the SLP works with another student. Currently, I told them that they have to touch the cards a second time in order to hear the word if they are playing on their own, but they don't always do it- they are just excited to find the next match!

I have been using this app since it came out and can’t say enough wonderful things about it! My students LOVE being able to click the spin button to see what picture will come next. They almost forget they are doing drill work because it’s so fun for them! It is very user friendly, versatile, and visually appealing to all users. I can’t remember any time I’ve run into issues or bugs, and the developers are great at updating the features to make it even more supportive for progress. My students often request this app over other ones and that says a lot about how great it is. Little bee offers app sales pretty frequently, but this one is worth every penny either way!

The pics are interesting, the program straightforward and highly functional for individual therapy. One question: Should I wish to delete discharged client, how do I do this?

I cannot remember the last time I pulled out my artic cards, and I don't see a need to do so anytime in the near future. This app makes me really happy. Overall- I am pleased with the visuals, the diversity of the vocabulary and the ease of use of the app. I was skeptical given the cost, but with the data collection built in I have found it to be worth every penney

This is my go to app for articulation. It has everything you need and just keeps getting better! Thanks for making this!

Great app with a lot of very useful tools!

I am an Speech Therapist and work with middle schoolers. It is hard to find fun articulation activities for this age and for their level which for a lot of them is the reading level. Having the auditory feedback for them is great also. Being able to hear their errors and then their corrections is more motivating than me always giving them feedback

I have been using this app for about 5 years now. It is the best. My students love it and never tire of it. I love all the features. Thanks for creating a wonderful tool.

I only wish this app had a BACK button on each screen. Sometimes I accidentally hit the DONE button and it takes me to scores before my session is done. I have no way of going back.

I'm an SLP at a middle school. I work with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and they all enjoy using this app. At first I just used this app for basic drill, which of course it's good for, but then I started integrating it with other materials. For example, my students take a turn at Jenga and then say 5 sentences. The auditory feedback of the ding sound and the buzzer sound is one of my favorite features! I even use it without using the stimuli from the app--during a conversation sample I will "ding" and "buzz" target phoneme productions in real time. Without do that, my of my students produced his /s/ sound in conversation with 8% accuracy. When receiving the auditory feedback from this app, that jumped up to about 90%! FANTASTIC APP!!!

My students and I really love this app! It's engaging, fun, and motivating. Thank you for helping me to enhance the communication and self-esteem of my kids. Have a richly blessed day! Papa R😎ger

I was hesitant to purchase this but finally took the dive and wow!! I am delighted with it's ease of use and the wide age range it is applicable for. Working with geriatrics and preschool through high school, it will become my favorite! It would be marvelous if the photos could be sent home via email for students to practice with parent.

This app has so many excellent features from the clear crisp graphics to leveled activities to customization! The app offers word, sentence and story levels for all phonemes, recording features, group or individual use, custom image entry and more. The kids favorite is the spin feature at the sentence level and keeps them asking for this app over and over! The built in narration is superb and easily understood. This is an app that should be in every therapists toolbox and I highly recommend it.

Well worth the price, I couldn't ask for anything better

For the amount of money we pay for this app, you'd think it'd contain more words that it has. I hope we get free updates where we can add more words.

This app is truly awesome. It is easy to use and the kids love it. I have also had many parents comment on how great the app is and some of them requested the name to purchase it. One feature I really like is the ability to "freeze" the spin so that it can't be tapped- I have some wiggly preschoolers that like to tap tap tap away, but freezing it doesn't allow them to. Wonderful app all around!

I am an SLP and use this all the time. It's a great app though I'm not crazy about a lot of the images (like "smudge"). I have compiled a database of my own images, but it's on Dropbox. It would be great if this app could let you add pictures from there, rather than just the camera roll.

Very user friendly especially for group therapy. Many great features for the busy clinician; scores, notes, recording & multiple target sounds. This app has been a lifesaver for my articulation therapy groups.

I purchased yesterday and I am already spoiled. My students are engaged as well. This was thoughtfully created to make our lives easier as therapists. My only suggestion perhaps is a generic data ticker so you can take data in isolation. I thoroughly enjoy being able to conveniently reference the data and how this info is gathered but there's no option for isolation to include in the student's info.

This app is awesome!!! I use it all the time with my students. It is a great tool for therapy and all of my student absolutely love it. Great way to practice their speech sounds and have fun at the same time!!! Thank you sooooo much for creating it. It is a definite important part of my articulation therapy.

New update crashes consistently. Haven't been able to use this app since its most recent update :(

Articulation Station Pro has been my favorite articulation therapy app since I started using an iPad in therapy 2 years ago. The addition of the phonological processes sorting makes it even more useful! I also appreciate the shortening of the spinner time for rotating sentences and the new phrase level feature. I look forward to adding custom images for students that have their own tricky word lists that I like to track. Thank you for putting all the buttons on the home screen where they are easily accessible to start a session efficiently. As a SLP in a school-based setting, this is a great app to invest in and the first app I purchased when I started in a new school district this year. -Katie Schumacher, M.S., CCC-SLP

Articulation Station Pro was the first speech related app I purchased for my iPad. I bought it based on a recommendation from a coworker who said it was the best app she ever used. This app has become one of my go to apps for articulation in the elementary setting and for reading comprehension and story retelling goals. I love the ability to record students productions and save them after each session as well as the easy documentation and record keeping. When it comes time for an IEP I love being able to look back at the students progress not only in percentages, but in specific words that were missed. I would highly recommend this app to others even at such a high cost, it will make your life easier.

There are only 5 /st/ words. Are you kidding me!? And one is "stegosaurus." Where are all the good one-syllable /st/ words!?

I use this app daily in my therapy sessions. My kids like the pictures, and I like having the ability to keep data so easily and quickly compare different data days. The sentence and paragraph features are also helpful. My kids really like the sentences with the rotating words. Thanks for an app that is easy to use, fun, and helpful.

I have enjoyed using this app with my students!!! I can better track their progress now!

I love this app especially in a group therapy session. I also love how there are so many gradual steps to increase difficulty.

This is my go to for speech therapy.

As an SLP who travels between buildings it is very difficult to carry all of the sound cards needed between buildings or classrooms to see IEP and RtI students. This app helps me have all sounds at my fingertips. I love the matching game, mixed sound decks, and included data tracking the most! I only wish that the mixed sound groups could be used in the matching game or other activities besides flashcards. Overall, a great app for SLPs... I would recommend the regular version for parents as they wouldn't need all sounds.

I love using this app in therapy. It's easy to use and with a good variety of vocabulary. I especially like the data tracking.

Update is a disaster cannot open the app since latest update. I use this app daily and am at a loss. Please fix this now! Loved it especially spinner phrases. My preschool clients ask when is it going to be fixed!

I downloaded the upgrade last night and used it today with several groups of students. I absolutely love it. The kids had fun with the new rotating phrase feature, and I'm so glad phonological processes are included. These new features make the app even more flexible than before. It is very user-friendly and worth the money. If you are thinking of buying a bunch of cheaper apps, don't do it. Get Articulation Station, and you'll be happy. --Kelly Maxwell, MS, CCC-SLP

I am a pediatric SLP who uses this in private practice almost daily with my clients. I have been using the app since 2012, and I am in LOVE with the latest update. One of my biggest roadblocks with the app was going to the phrase level. I would have the children pick a word to describe the pictures OR I would give a word, which was great for the spontaneity. However, in some cases, I am targeting only articulation. I do not want to fatigue a child by targeting language concepts such as descriptive words at the same time as we are working on a particularly difficult sound to produce. I LOVE that now I can select the phrase settings, and my students will be able to use the *much loved* spinner to pick a random word OR use the pre-made 2 to 3 word phrases. There are so many wonderful features added to this update. WOW! Have been a Pro user since 2012, and I must say -- DO IT! You will love this app and abandon your other articulation applications. Great work Little Bee Speech!

An absolute dream app. It makes data tracking so easy and I love that it has the option for groups. My students love seeing their percentage! Would LOVE to see an option for CVC, CV, VC words for my little ones with very significant articulation delays and can't produce some of the longer words in the app. Just a thought :)

Use it daily with my students drills. My kids are never bored with it.

My students love this app. I love the versatility. Easy student in my articulation can be individualized easily and moving from one student to another is mush easier. This is much more effective for me than using articulation cards each session. My students are making gains faster than ever.

It's so convenient because I have all my artic cards on my phone plus it records data for me. My students think it's fun too.

Love this app and use it everyday! Appreciate that it now includes phrases. Would love to see blends that include /w/, /s/ blends in medial and final positions, and multisyllabic words. Thanks so much for such a quality product!

I purchased this specifically for the emailing of recordings. The recordings have errors and cannot be played. To spend $50 on an app that can't even send simple recordings is ridiculous.

I have tried all the other speech apps out there, and this is the best. 1. I would like to see the table of students names allowed to be more flexible. Once a name is entered, you are not allowed to move it. Our groups change, and I would like the app to allow us to move names up and down the list as the groups change during the school year. 2. A mirror feature would be great too, so students can look at themselves during shaping exercises. 3. A syllable section would be a great addition as well. Keep up the good work on this most user friendly app!

So helpful and convenient. Quick and easy Kids love it.

My four year old does great with this app. I appreciate that there's no-prep and we can do it virtually anywhere. It's an easy way to give him additional practice outside of his private sessions with a SLP. Even my 1.5 year old enjoys using it.

This app is the best articulation app without a doubt. Complete with every sound and every level. Students are motivated by the real pictures and are given the chance to become aware of their goals and when an error is produced. They love to spin and play memory. This app takes data and saves it. It replaces any and all articulation card decks and you don't need to take tally while using it. A great investment for and SLP or parent. Perfect for any of your articulation or phonology students. I love it!!!

11/2015 Other suggested changes: -Would it be possible to give the option for changing the side of the screen that the correct, incorrect buttons appear? At times I need to reach across clients to mark their productions. -Also please add more vocalic /r/ words and medial /h/ Thank you! Still my favorite articulation app! This is my favorite articulation app. I do home based services and this app saves me from dragging my huge artic books to every client's house! Suggestions: 1-Please add the time of day on the very top of the app, so therapist can keep track of time during the session. 2- It would be helpful if when we are using words in all positions if stats could be given individually for initial, medial and final positions. 3- I work with younger kids who often touch the buttons themselves giving a check or an x by accident. Please add an undo button. Thanks!

I pretty much love everything about this app. The pictures are great quality, lots of opportunities for most sounds, and great way to take data. I also love the new phonological process groups. The only thing I would like changed is the ability to easily move the data buttons (green, orange, red buttons) from one side of the screen to the other. Some kids do not like it when they get a red and if I have to reach across the screen to tap the button then they really notice. Yes I realize I can take data differently, but sometimes this is all I have.

My clients and I use this APP often, and we really like it. However, even since the last update, I am still having issues with data not being saved. Can you please fix this.

Love this app! Wish there was more than two activities, but it is by far mine and my students favorite!
