Please update

Love this app and use it regularly with my apraxia patients; however, recently it stopped working in my latest iOS software update. Please update this incredible app so we can start using it again.

Great app, but....

Please have male singer do songs again as T, D, N are made with tongue too far forward. K and G are not quite right either, for same reason. Otherwise, awesome app!!!!!

Music therapy intern

Not only a great app for clients, but very helpful in making sure I pronounce and model sounds correctly! The four tracks are incredibly useful, as is the tempo change. Great intro and explanation of the app, including some NMT background that is understandable by laymen. Nice job!
