Needs more, but good so far This app is decent for academics, but it could have far more potential as a tool for teaching struggling children with artic errors. Maybe a sub menu with kid friendly explanations of positioning and assimilability exercises could be added in that regard. A larger animation for tablets wouldn't hurt either.
★★★★★
Highly satisfying. This app is extremely helpful for foreigners who have a totally different mother tongue like Asians to learn American English pronunciation. I always wondered if my pronunciation is right whenever speaking English and somehow felt lacked confidence when I obsessed with the "right" pronunciation. This app gave me a big help cos it explains the steps to make a sound academically, which is very trustworthy. Look forward to their releasing this app for German learners as they said on their website.
★★☆☆☆
No speech sounds The app is just for English sounds. It should have at least the IPA chart. The videos are not very good. E.g. the s and z sounds are sibilant, why?
★★☆☆☆
Unfortunately I wish I'd read the reviews. I bought this app believing I was supporting Iowa's Sounds of Speech that was available online. That website is definitely with the investment. Unfortunately this app is not, unless you are only interested in English. I feel like I was fooled into paying for something that was a misrepresented what it was.
★★☆☆☆
There is a mistake on this app. One of the sound symbols "/ j /" is misrepresented. If you go to the app home page then go to CONSONANTS then go to PLACE then select "lingua-palatal" then at the bottom, the last symbol to the right "/ j /" is misrepresented. The correct symbol to represent the sounds of the world examples "job, badger and cage" is / ʤ / Can you please fix the app?. This will confuse people who are learning English. I paid for this app and I would like to recommend it to my friends, so they can buy it too. Thanks a lot.
