Speech Blubs: Language Therapy for Negative User Reviews
✓ Don’t do free trial!I wanted to do the 7 day free trial, unfortunately wasn’t exactly what we expected. I canceled the subscription the day after I started the trial. A week later $99 got taken out of my bank account. It has taken me 3 days to get ahold of them. Yes they said they will be refunding the money but may take up to two weeks! Horrible experience wouldn’t recommend!.Version: 8.2.5
✓ Always the same contentMy daughter gets pretty bored working the exercises with the same content over and over again. To practice one letter sound she’ll get the same word every time as if there are no more examples to practice the sound with. I sent an email asking about this and just got a response saying that they update content every few months but that they can’t guarantee a date sorry for the inconvenience. The quality of the app is really good but for the price I wasn’t expecting this..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Shady tactics. £60 upwards is crazy.I can see why this app can be useful, but to what extent is very unclear. I didn’t like how it asked questions about my child’s speech and then guilt tripped into purchasing the extortionate app. They make you feel like if you don’t buy the app you don’t care about your child’s development. I picked up the trail and in all fairness it’s just a bunch of kids saying things and then my child is expected to repeat it. Not really as intuitive as I hoped. Unfortunately I’ll be cancelling my trial and I hope no money is taken like the many other parents who had their money taken from them..Version: 6.6.3
✓ Nothing would loadMy son loved it the ONE time he got to go on it the rest of the time it would take ages to load onto the menu then nothing would load after that..Version: 11.2.3
✓ DespicableReally quite angry at this app. It worked fine during the free trial, then as soon as I bought it, it couldn’t even get through a single sound before it would freeze every time. No amount of waiting or restarting the app would fix it. Also tried uninstalling/ reinstalling, and nothing. For someone with a child with severe speech delay, you have charged me £50 for nothing. I’ve sent messages to your help team and been completely ignored. These people do not care about improving speech for children, just money..Version: 11.0.1
✓ Free for 7 days onlyI refuse to sign up for only 7 days free, that’s not enough time to determine if my child benefits from this app, and based on other people’s reviews, I don’t like the high possibility of being charged for something that may not work for my child, or charged despite not wanting to continue the app and the trouble some people have had getting refunds etc.. No thanks..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Not entirely impressedThe children used to teach the users how to say words properly and songs properly don’t know how to pronounce them or sing them themselves.. would have been a great idea otherwise..Version: 5.2.5
✓ Cancel my subscriptionHow do I cancel my monthly and yearly subscription to the Speech Blubs app? Is there a certain time frame I need to cancel within? I tried to ‘chat’ to someone in support but they were not human and kept saying “go to iTunes and cancel it.” I can’t cancel. It isn’t giving me that option..Version: 2.0.4
✓ TerribleI wanted to trial this app before purchasing to see how my child would take to it. After cancelling my subscription I was shocked to find that I had to repurchase the app in order to continue the trial. It offered me a lower price so I clicked on it thinking I could continue my “free” trial after it only to find I had been charged. So disappointed. I’m now out of pocket for an app my child has ZERO interest in. Anyone wanting to try this app beware there is no trial option..Version: 8.2.5
✓ No free 1 weekBeware you’ll be billed straightaway before trail week.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Not worth it.My son just laughed at noises and words. If your child isn’t copying you saying words then I don’t think they’re going to copy a stranger saying them either. Also cancelled the subscription, says you can still use the free trial for the remaining days but that’s a lie. It then offers you a half price discount and you can’t go back to the app until you accept the offer. What a scam, making money off children missing milestones, pretty sick actually. Your child will talk when they are ready..Version: 9.4.2
✓ Purchase not workingI used the free 7 day trial and it automatically opted to renew to an annual subscription. My 20-month old son has not got th hang of the app. I was automatically charged after the 7-day trial (which I was aware)and now my app logged out using my facebook account as to how I started using it on my free trial and won’t go back logged in again. I am terribly disappointed as first of all I was hoping to maximise it now that I’ve purchased it but its been more than two weeks and I have not been able to log back in to my purchased account. Plus there’s no way I can get support to sort this apart from writing under app reviews..Version: 6.6.1
✓ Waste of moneyAfter the raving reviews I read about this app I was so hopeful of it’s effectiveness in aiding my child & I with a fun speech therapy option. After purchasing the lifetime subscription to allow us to utilize it to its “fullest potential,” I find myself sorely disappointed after using it for the past month. To say that I am annoyed is an understatement. It is very limited in the variety that it offers, and we have already gone completely through the numbers and letters as well as the activities. When my child chooses the incorrect photo to go with the appropriate word, you would expect a bell, or some sort of dingdong noise to designate that the choice was incorrect, but instead there are fart noises. After the seal slurps down a soda, it farts. What my child has learned from this app is not a better understanding of speech or fun new words, but crude fart noises and now after finishing a drink, feigns to pass gas. The world is crude & classless enough without selling “educational apps” to expand upon it. How exactly is this educational or offering assistance with speech delay? DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY..Version: 10.1.2
✓ Doesn’t even workFirstly, the content is NOT friendly or even appropriate for any children learning to speak! In the “guess the word” section, there is an image which is described as a “ship”, then in the explanation, it’s referred to as a “boat”. Completely confusing for a young learner, as there is no coherence. Secondly, the app works for a day and then every time you open it, it doesn’t even load! Don’t even bother with this app. The content isn’t trustworthy and it doesn’t work..Version: 9.4.2
✓ Save your moneyAll the great reviews perplex me. I don’t care for this app and the only thing my toddler enjoys is drawing on the load screen. There are too many fart/poop/burp jokes and noises. The early animal sounds don’t always match. Curtain screen for chicken says cluck but then the word being said is bok. Several are like this. The song karaoke doesn’t match with the speed the kids are singing. There’s a lot of extra time of the kids being directed that should’ve been edited out. It’s also weird to me that there’s no context while the words are being said. During the colors the backgrounds match but the rest there’s a split second of the thing being said and that’s it. Every other game/book/app we’ve come across show the object and the word together so that they can have context. Not at all worth the $60..Version: 7.5.1
✓ Almost 4yo finds it boringMy almost 4yo finds it boring. It seems very repetitive and the same few words being asked every time. She doesn’t want to keep repeating car, bird, bee. We have the annual subscription so we will at least use the games part to get the moneys worth..Version: 9.8.3
✓ HorribleIt’s so bad I can’t even express it. It keeps repeating same thing one word. I wasted 20 plus on something I won’t even login to. Honestly I read the reviews and I just can’t believe what I read compared to what I experienced. I didn’t like it in the first 3 minutes I tried it with my child. So I don’t get paid to lie but this was personally the worst app for me. Good luck. I would of gave it o if the star had -..Version: 6.4.12
✓ Not compatible with older iPadI absolutely loved this app until it stopped working on my son's iPad. He's almost 3 and for the longest time he wouldn't talk. He would grunt or scream and it became very frustrating. I came across this app on instagram. He was using it for about 2 months. He enjoyed copying the kids and sounds. He started using the words he was learning, being able to identify them as well. Honestly, it was a huge relief hearing him speak. He has an older model iPad and no longer updates but unfortunately I can't afford a new or used one. I have downloaded it to my iPhone but the screen is small and he seems to lose interest compared to the tablet. The subscription price wasn't bad either. Had to cancel due to my son no longer using app..Version: 7.2.0
✓ Charge right awayMy kid enjoy the app.. but i'm too much disappointed that they charge me immediately. about 88.99 it is a full year fee immediately. but they advertised it was just 6 dollars a month which i expected. but suddenly they charge me whole year. last day of my trial is trial is april 3. but they charge me immediately on april 3. which is not good. be honest with your business. or else no one will be using your app..Version: 6.4.12
✓ Deleted instantlyHaving to pay $80.00 for a children’s speech game is a little insane if you ask me..Version: 9.8.0
✓ Ripped offIts a nice enough little app but it wasn’t working for my son so I cancelled my subscription, after cancelling I checked the app and when I found I couldn’t access anything meaning my subscription was definitely cancelled I deleted the app. I then noticed that payments were still continuing to be taken despite the fact I had cancelled the app and had no access to the subscription content during that time. I understand that mistakes happen but once I managed to get the payments stopped I only received 1 payment back and was told it was to late for me to get the rest of my money back. I honestly don’t see how it can be ok to take money for a service you aren’t supplying and not refund it all when your mistake has been highlighted. So for ripping me off I give this app 1 star..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Not for usMaybe I am not using it right, but I don’t think this is for us at least. My son is in speech therapy with an articulation disorder. I was hoping this app could be used to reinforce the sounds he is working on. Like if we worked on F sounds this week, between sessions, I could use this to work on F sounds and reinforce what he was learning. But it doesn’t give me any option to work on a particular sound or anything. So I’m not sure how to use it to help us. My son is five and he’s just working on specific sounds “F, G, Sh, S, and a few more I’m probably forgetting. The app also acted like he was making the correct sounds when he wasn’t. When he was repeating square, he was totally missing the S sound. Which is a sound we are working on. Yet it kept acting like he was getting it right. I also wasn’t sure if he was just supposed to sit and listen and then repeat. Or if he was supposed to speak along with the kids..Version: 2.5.10
✓ ScamI cancelled the subscription via both my account and in app and it still took my money. Now whenever I try and reload the subscription page it’s just a blank screen. I contacted customer services who gave me a partial refund and cannot give me a decent explanation as to why they won’t give the remaining money. They say that I’ve opened two accounts however can’t provide reasonable evidence. Do not download, look at the reviews because this app is a scam.Version: 8.2.3
✓ IssueHi, I purchased a year worth for both the speech and reading app and since the last two updates it has not been working it’s telling the my iPad is not supported. It suggests me downloading an older version of the app which I select, but nothing happens. Can I get some assistance ?.Version: 9.0.3
✓ ScamDonot install free trial, theyd educt amount bfire completion of the trial and never refund, didnt use this app and had to pay for it, morover apple does not let it cancel. very bad experience, my son didnt like it nor learn a single word.Version: 11.4.1
✓ Nice idea, hard to close appNice idea but doesn’t really help. The app itself is problematic and will not close. It is very difficult to close it and get it off the screen. Better design would be ideal..Version: 11.0.1
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOADWhen I got this app I thought great, it has a child lock. My child can’t go off and click on other apps on my phone. The child lock disables the use of your home button and lock button (on iPhone) Whilst using the app it froze. No matter what I did, what I pressed, tried to force restart my phone and nothing worked. Therefore I was left with an inoperable phone (the child lock turns itself off after 8hrs) luckily my battery died after 2hrs. As soon as I got back on my phone i deleted the app..Version: 7.1.1
✓ I was charged for a year and the app didn't workI'm not happy with the fact that I was billed for a year for something my child cannot even use..Version: 11.2.3
✓ Slow loadingBy the time the activities have loaded by 2 year old has lost interest and run away. Also doesn’t give him time to respond… although I do find after we have closed the app he has repeated the animal sounds a little bit, he hasn’t learnt words yet.Version: 8.3.0
✓ No games loadedCouldn’t get any of the games to finish loading (they got to about 95% and stopped). If you unsubscribe before the 7 days is up you cannot access the app again to finish the free trial.Version: 7.6.4
✓ I Really Wanted to Like This AppI started the 7 day free trial for my 2 year old, in hopes of trying something else to help boost her language development. The first two days she seemed to be enjoying the app and found it to be engaging. I do wish when they asked them to say the words, they told them which word to say, (for example, “now say: car!”) as opposed to just saying “now you’re turn!” I need to whisper which word she needs to say, otherwise she doesn’t understand what to do. And half the time it hears me and moves her along even though she hasn’t said it yet. But on only day three the app keeps crashing and closing automatically and we can’t do anything on it anymore without it closing out or freezing/locking out my whole iPad. So I had to cancel. I’m hoping I don’t still get charged the $59 like I’m seeing others mention in their reviews! Super bummed. I wanted to like this app!.Version: 8.3.0
✓ ScamUseless scam app. I need to pay as much as a million dollars an ep tv production channel?? Dream on losers.Version: 6.4.12
✓ Horrible appThis app is seriously every parent’s nightmare!! It started with asking me a bunch of questions and when I stopped in the middle of the questionnaire it basically sent me a notification saying “why in earth would you stop now” how rude !! After finishing, it concluded that my toddler has speech problems that she doesn’t actually have and it put it in the most terrifying way as well !! Parents are doing their best and have concerns and fears, we don’t need an app to scare us and increase those fears ! Let alone imaginary problems!!! It then went on to suggest that i need to contact a specialist or whatever and then asked me to try free trial and subscribe. Is this your way of making money ? By saying my toddler has imaginary speech problems and going on to suggest your pushy app will fix it. Shame on you..Version: 5.2.5
✓ 50% Off When You Cancel TrialWhat a racket. I cancelled my 7 day free trial two days in. My daughter is delayed developmentally so I was excited to try this app with her to help her speak. My issue with the app is that it has to use the microphone to hear the child say the word. Well…if I’m saying the word to make her try to say it, it picks me up and acts like she’s done a great thing and moves on. There’s no back. There’s no repeat. There’s no review. Just “great, someone said dog. Let’s move on.” So I cancelled. Didn’t work for me. No hard feelings. My daughter brought me the spare “kids phone” to play the app. Now it pops up, saying I’ve cancelled my trial (true) and that there are 5 days left in my trial (also true) and they’d give me 50% off the annual price to stay. I don’t want to stay. I would have kept trying it for 5 days and possibly reconsidered **BUT** the 50% off screen takes over the game. There’s no getting it to go away. So there’s really not 5 days left. I’m stuck staring at the 50% off screen. Deleted. I’ve never written a review for an app but this is ridiculous. If I don’t want your app, let that be ok. Let’s go our separate ways. Don’t then hack the app so that it’s unusable for the trial period. I might have reconsidered after a few more days but not now. Plus knocking half off? How does that make others feel that paid full price? Lame. Very lame business practices..Version: 9.1.2
✓ Great concept poor executionIt’s a great concept but it has poor execution! It’s skips around way too much! It spends maybe 30 seconds on each word before moving onto the next. There is no repetition. It passes him onto the next lesson even tho he hasn’t successfully completed the first. Then the volume issue! It’ll be a good volume then when it comes to the kids talking and trying to sound out the words for my baby. It goes so quite you can’t even hear what they’re saying! It’s also supposed to be compatible with other devices but I have downloaded and logged into other devices with the same account and not only is it structured totally different in between devices I also had to restart everything and it wouldn’t restore my sons account even tho I was using the same log in. Like I said it’s a great idea in general but it was definitely poorly executed..Version: 9.3.1
✓ Scaremongering!As a parent you have enough worries and this app is just another that scares you into thinking something is wrong with your child so that you buy their product! Then it immediately prompts you to buy something without letting you try the app to see if its any good! A monthly subscription! Parents have enough worries! We don’t sleep and we’re constantly bombarded wit things that make us worry about our kids! The makers of this app need to think from a parental perspective before trying to sell some rubbish to babies as young as 13 months. And limping a 13 months milestones with a 2 year olds makes no sense!.Version: 5.1.1
✓ ScamYou can’t even try it without paying $20 or a yearly subscription. It says free trial but you must pay for the annual subscription in order to get the “free trial”... scam!.Version: 6.4.12
✓ Doesn’t workApp consistently crashes as soon as we open it. We’ve tried troubleshooting in many ways. A google search for how to resolve this came up with many people complaining of the same thing. The app worked fine until we completed registration and paid for a subscription, from then we can’t even get to the menu screen, it crashes before then. Don’t waste your time or money. If I could rate it zero stars, I would..Version: 9.9.3
✓ OverpricedI tried to do a free trial of this app. I cancelled the free trial immediately, to avoid later forgetting to do so and incurring a fee. Then I couldn’t use the app. A message kept popping up to pay a reduced price. As the reviews are so high, I wanted to see what the fuss was about. It was a huge disappointment that kept my child occupied for a few minutes. Instead of spending £30 on this app, I should’ve used the money to pay for a session with a speech and language therapist. Money down the drain..Version: 9.3.1
✓ Scam! Charged me £55 (1 year) during the free trial!Thought I’d signed up to a Free Trial - tried using the app and didn’t like it so went to cancel it (within half an hour of this supposed 1 week trial)... it’s charged me one year subscription of £55!! Contacted them and no help. When me and my son briefly tried it before cancelling, we found it boring and frustrating (e.g. just asking him to repeat monkey sounds). I’m in shock that they charged me £55 without me knowing they would do this when they advertise a free trial..Version: 5.2.6
✓ UnsureThe jury is still out on this one for us. First of all, there are no instructions, so I’m not sure how some of the things work. There are some confusing bits. My 3 1/2 year-old son liked it at first, but it is very repetitive and he got bored quickly. He absolutely LOVES the parts where he can take a silly picture of himself.... that part is done really well! However, the “reward” game is only fun the first couple of times, then it’s just boring - it’s just a balloon or star pop, nothing else (and the balloons/stars keep coming after the game ends so he can’t pop the last few, which frustrates the heck out of him!). Also, some of the kids’ pronunciations are not that great in my mind. Either they don’t enunciate, they’re too quiet, or they stress the sounds strangely. Many of the words are well done, but quite a few are not so great - you can tell what the quality of the pronunciation will be as soon as you see which kid is talking... they need to find some new kids! For a speech-therapy app, I find it strange that they haven’t spent more time getting the models to model the words in the best way possible for viewing and hearing the sound..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Collecting Children’s DataCan’t believe your process is to down load your app - collect personal of our children, agree to recieve notifications, use our location. Hook us into filling the questions, provide a report then ask for $26.00 Someone needs to make a serious complaint to authorities. A bit of transparency would go along way. What a scam.Version: 6.6.2
✓ Charged for Renewal without noticeI noticed a $91 charge to my iTunes without prior notice. I was told I get 7 days free trial unless I renew the app I will be charged. I was never advised of the charges, usually the app requests renewal before any payment is made. I have deleted my subscription and the app and I have requested a refund & was denied..Version: 4.5.2
✓ Ehh this app is a hit or missTried this app because my toddler isn’t fully talking yet so was curious if this may help. Well in my opinion I feel bad for the children making the mini video clips because it’s obvious they aren’t exactly happy or excited but nervous and on pressure . The video clips are literally 1-3 sec clips rewinded over and over again for a minute. Not worth the money but this is just my opinion. Did the quick analysis in the beginning and boooy are they wrong. They suggested that it may be a possible hearing problem and like any parent was overwhelmed and concerned. I called out my kid a few times and he responded instantly, so relieved that the app was wrong and realized how much of a joke this is. Most kids are very smart and everything comes in time, dont waste time or money on this app just love your kids as is and just do more activities together...literally ALL a child needs :).Version: 5.2.3
✓ Not worth the moneyIf this app was less expensive, I’d consider keeping it, but at $10/mo and so many weird issues, I don’t think it’s worth it. I did some research and there are a lot of vague/gray area comments on this app being recommended by therapists but many speech pathologists have spoken out against these claims as this app was not created by or with one. Some of the kids pronunciation is off and the sound is quiet and uneven on several of the recordings compared to the others. Additionally, the fact that they use a computer generated voice for the the videos that give you facts is lazy. The section on feelings lazily uses emojis instead of kids faces for some and aren’t the most accurate. I think this app could use some more fine tuning from a technical stand point as well as implementation of having real backing from legitimate therapists. I realize most of these complaints I listed aren’t a huge deal but for an app you’re spending $10 per month for, I expected more. Apparently they had a prior app that was similar and was $6.99/flat fee. I might have done that..Version: 4.6.1
✓ I was hopeful but it was a waste of moneyWhen I saw ads for this app I was hopeful it would help broaden my two years vocabulary and encourage him to speak more. It’s done quite the opposite. After the week trial, we decided to purchase the subscription, it was a waste of money. My son just wants to play and skip over the speaking parts. There’s way too much going on around the app that it’s over stimulating. Having the characters jump, talk, etc when touched while instructions are being given is very distracting. My sons speech actually regressed in the two weeks I allowed him to play, which I was only allowing him to play the allotted time recommended. Also on top of speech regression he was acting out, trying to constantly snatch my phone to play on the app, not listening, throwing tantrums, all of which were out of his normal prior to the app. After me deleting the app from my phone he’s back to himself. It wasn’t for us..Version: 9.1.2
✓ Won’t open up.I thought this app looked as though it could help support my four year old daughter pronounce a few letters she is struggling to sound out. I downloaded the app and filled in the initial questions asking about my daughters development etc. Once I got it the subscription details I clicked on free trial (which is also the same button as the yearly subscription) and the app simply stayed on the download page. After several minutes I came off, and went back on but it will no longer open at all. I have no idea if I have opened up a subscription, and if so I cannot get onto the app to cancel the free trial. I have had to find the company’s email address and email them to clarify that I will not be charged, since we cannot use the app let alone the free trial. Really disappointing as I thought this looked fun and would support her needs too..Version: 6.6.1
✓ Bit strangeNot great really...some of the explanations was in foreign language which I found strange, in one instance it will ask you...What do monkeys eat? Then it will give you 3 pictures to choose from...a banana, an orange and something else, once you have clicked on the right one it will show you a GORILLA not a ‘monkey’ stepping on to a banana peal and slipping. I mean, what that has to do with monkeys eating a banana...I don't know. It’s a little confusing. Some of it just doesn’t make sense. And some of the explanations are a big to difficult for a 18 month to 30 month old to understand..Version: 7.2.0
✓ A Trap IndeedThere is no option to manage your membership. Does not show the trial expiry date or the cancellation option. I think it’s on purpose to scam people.Should be removed from App Store. Contact us page on their website is broken. No way to remove your payment information.Talk to your bank ASAP.Version: 11.1.1
✓ Not evidence basedI’m a specialist teacher of children aged 0-7 and have a masters in autism with a focus on developing speech. Research shows that interaction with a responsive partner is what develops language. It has been proven that children will not learn to speak from interaction with a screen. The reviewers who have seen their child’s language improve would have seen these improvements anyway without the app use. Please don’t waste your money on this, you can engage with and talk to your child for free! Or let them play free games on a screen for fun. If your child has a speech and language development delay, only high quality speech and language therapy will support communication..Version: 4.5.0
✓ Incredible invasion of privacy!!! BewareI downloaded the 7 day free trial today with every intention of purchasing a subscription if it was as good as the advert implied. However I was absolutely appalled to find it asking my toddler for permission to access the microphone, the camera and the photo roll! The app also doesn’t allow you to use the features without being logged in to the internet... so there is no possibility of using it offline to prevent spyware! I’ve immediately deleted this app and sent an email to the developer. In this day and age I absolutely DO NOT want my children using apps which both watch and listen to them - terrifying!! I’d advise all parents to proceed with caution..Version: 6.4.9
✓ A few issuesThe videos cam be ‘glitchy’ and therefore you miss a little bit, which does not help children understand what’s being said. The bigger problem though is that several of the sounds the children in the videos say do NOT match the word/animal on the screen. One of the girls makes a donkey sound when she’s being a horse for example. The content is so important when helping kids learn to talk so I’m very disappointed by the lack of quality control. Overall the app works well and most of the words/sounds we’ve tried are correct, but it’s not acceptable to be teaching the wrong sounds on occasion..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Ripped offI opted for 7 day free trial with monthly renewal of $8.99 7 day trial ended and a whole year subscription $99.99 was taken from my apple account! Not happy at all! Very misleading.Version: 6.3.6
✓ Terrible experienceI did the free trial and immediately canceled subscription so I wouldn’t be charged after the free trial as it’s very expensive. As soon as I did that and went back to the app it came up with a pop up saying I had cancelled and to select from these multiple choice as to why. I selected too expensive. It then offered me a cheaper price for the annual subscription. I couldn’t do anything else in the app without clicking something for that. I assumed that by accepting the offer for the lower price the FREE trial would still be active (as it didn’t say otherwise) and the new half price amount would be deducted AFTER the free trial ended. I was then just going to cancel again prior to it ending. So I clicked to proceed and went to my subscription to cancel only to find it took the funds immediately from my account and charged me for the annual subscription!!!! Not happy at all and now have to hope I get my money back as funds are tight right now and I certainly didn’t have that money to spend on an app. Didn’t even get the opportunity to trial it first and after this experience definitely will not be purchasing. Currently requesting a refund through apple and waiting for response..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Deceptive practicesCute enough app, I only got to use it twice. My 2 year old, speech delayed son liked it. I know it requires consistency to see results, so the jury is out as to whether this is a truly effective speech tool. I cancelled the free trial right away because I’m a busy mom and I didn’t want to forget to cancel it. I prefer to test it and sign up for the subscription, if I choose, on my own time. After I cancelled it, I went back to use it and there was an 50% offer screen—with absolutely no way to get past it without making the purchase! But I noticed it said my free trial will end in 3 days. I really wanted to give the app a good try to decide if I wanted to purchase it because I had been looking for an app like this, so I decided to just to agree, especially considering it was only $30 if I forgot. I expected that after the 3 remaining trial days, my subscription would renew at the 50% off price if I didn’t cancel before then. However, the annual subscription began immediately cancelling my free trial. Not happy about this, this is the only app I’ve used that blocks access if you cancel within the trial, isn’t that against apple’s policy?? And then is falsely tells you you’ll keep your remaining free trial days but you don’t..Version: 9.3.0
✓ A Scary ScamScary - told me my child was severely delayed in two aspects of her development?!? Her teacher wouldn’t agree. So what she slurs a few sounds... Scam - quickly unsubscribed after realising it wasn’t a very good app and they offered a huge discount to subscribe. What about all the other people who actually liked your app and paying the full inflated price??? Why I didn’t like the app? Well I like the videos of children mouthing the words but in spite of informing the app which sounds my child struggles with, there was no way to focus on those sounds. Also, for example, the video was teaching “croc - a - dile” when it’s actually croc - o - dile. Speech Therapy is a much more focused app to address specific difficulties..Version: 6.3.7
✓ Great app, WORST customer supportWhile the app is great and an aid in helping our 2 year old speak more words, we ran into an issue that required us to contact support. The most unhelpful advice was given to us and when we reached out again, we were advised by a different person to follow the same steps that we stated did not work the first time around. Basically, after purchasing a year subscription and successfully signing into our account for 3-4 months on both our iPhone and Kindle, we can no longer access the app from multiple devices. Only the device that originally downloaded the app and purchased the subscription can access the account now. Each time I sign into our account from a different iPhone and kindle, we are asked to purchase another subscription..Version: 6.7.0
✓ Wasn't appropriate for usDownloaded this for my grandson who is 2, doesn't talk and is still learning about interacting on devices etc. Whilst the talking and singing was entertaining for him, he wasn't at all keen on the games that required him to interact, or he couldn't understand what was being asked of him. We gave it a couple of goes and then gave up! Not all kids like to interact with the screen, and that was a major stumbling point for us! I downloaded it to help with his speech development but it just frustrated me and he lost interest! We're now watching episodes of Blues Clues on youtube kids which he loves and has slowly starting to interact with. There is no requirement for him to touch the screen in order to continue but when something is familiar to him, he touches the screen!.Version: 11.1.1
✓ Be careful!I clicked on the free trial and they charged me $79.99 immediately with no possibility of refund! Be very careful!.Version: 9.1.2
✓ Doesn’t workHi, I just purchased the app today and it won’t even open kicks me out straight away and keeps saying check internet connection when I have full bars off WiFi even on Mobile data it will not load can’t believe I paid for an app I simply can not get the use out off not good enough it’s a disgrace and I’m not happy at all..Version: 6.6.3
✓ Is a scamIt’s a scam. Firstly people download it from watching ad and then they charge the money on the trial period for a year. And the app will stop working after some time. So be aware.Version: 9.6.0
✓ Cute but locks up constantlyUpdate: emailed the email they told me to. Never got a response. Also now with this update it lags SO much, keeps popping up with a child disable lock, and some of the puzzles don’t lock in the correct place. For example, the pieces of the “A” fall apart to put back together and when my daughter does it, they don’t even align and it tells her she did it but it doesn’t even look like an A. This app isn’t cheap. Things need fixed. Removed a star until it’s fixed. My toddler loves this app. She is behind in her speech and she has really started responding to things, especially the animal sounds. But there’s a huge problem on her iPad. It constantly locks up. And when it does, there is no other fix but uninstalling and reinstalling and then it doesn’t save her profile so we have to start all over again. We’ve tried closing it completely, hard restarting the iPad, updating the app and nothing works. It stays stuck on the welcome screen with the fish. All the other apps on the iPad work so not sure what’s going on..Version: 10.3.0
✓ Free trialAttempted to use the free trial for my son and as it automatically renews in 7 days I ended the subscription incase I forgot and my son didn’t take well to it. It said I’d still have the 7 days to trial it however every time I go into the app it gives me an offer to purchase and in small print tells me I still have 5 days left on the trial. I can’t access the trial at all without purchasing the subscription for 1yr. I’ve restarted my phone and everything to try get off that screen and access the trial. I would have likely purchased this subscription but I’m not doing it without trialing it first..Version: 8.1.0
✓ CrashesI was excited to try this app after seeing mostly positive reviews. I liked the games involved to encourage speech however after 5 minutes the app would stop functioning, even after relaunching the app again. For this reason it was frustrating for my son to play and for me to try sort out..Version: 7.2.5
✓ Home button is a distractionGood app but the little house button (home) is son distracting and annoying- my kid keeps pushing it! Can you hide this?!.Version: 10.1.0
✓ Rip off and a terrible appTake a look at the other bad reviews and I would reiterate everything that has been written. It’s a terrible app that suggests your child has a speech problem and some of the sounds on there I’d say don’t even reflect what it should be. It’s a complete rip off at £50 and due to being late on cancelling the trial I was charged the fee - fair enough but upon contacting you, don’t suggest that Apple may refund when you know full well they don’t and then ask me to come back to you with no reply. This kind of app is clearly made to make money from a hell of a lot of parents want to help their child develop further but are so busy that they forget to cancel in time. A reminder might be helpful but then you wouldn’t make any money....Version: 6.4.13
✓ 😏Not free⁉️.Version: 10.0.1
✓ The app locked up my phone and took overI decided to download this app for my daughter and after the trial period I subscribed as a paying customer. It was good until one day everything went south! The app locked up my phone, the little boy kept repeating the word and then he stopped. My new iPhone xR was stuck on the app, there was no way to answer calls, no way to call out, no way to reset my phone. The app had taken my phone hostage and I had to wait 1 day before the app drained my battery to get control of my phone again. Not having access to my phone is also a safety issue especially because the app hijacked my phone. This app is a big no until they correct their programming issues! Reply to change review: NO IT FULLY HIJACKED MY PHONE, NO KEY WOULD RESPOND. I HAVE USED CHILD LOCK IN THE PAST AND ITS GREAT HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. NOTHING WOULD WORK WITHIN THE APP AT ALL AND I WAS LOCKED IN THE APP. IF THE APP WAS WORKING AND DIDN’T HIJACK MY PHONE THEN I COULD OF EXITED OUT. NOT THE CASE. TRY LISTENING INSTEAD OF RESPONDING. 1 STAR FOR HIJACKING MY PHONE and 0 STARS FOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT!.Version: 6.3.5
✓ Every Child Develops learning differentlyI think the expectations on this app are quite high giving warning signs is a bit harsh considering not every child is expected to know everything at 10 months, plus it makes you pay right after you have filled out details and put in your email address not a cheap app either! I think I will pass on this app.Version: 6.6.3
✓ Double chargedI downloaded the app to try the 7 week free trial to see if my son would like it and to try a different approach at learning to talk and interact. My son is about to be two years old and besides popping bubbles sometimes, he took no interest in it at all. I downloaded it on my phone and on an ipad. I created an account and logged into both devices with it. I tried it with him for maybe 3 days and he just ignored it, so decided to cancel before I got charged. In trying to do so, I accidentally ended up actually paying the yearly subscription. I requested a refund and to cancel the subscription with them, I ended up being refunded that amount and was told it was cancelled. A few days later I saw a charge for about the same amount on my bank account. Once I figured out it was this app, I contacted them to try to get a refund and cancel the subscription again. They told me since it was charged through Apple, that they wouldn't issue me a refund and that I had to contact Apple about it. I contacted Apple and explained what happened and they denied my request for a refund. I didn't know that I could get charged for each app download on different devices while using the same account. I had figured when I requested the first refund and cancellation, that my subscription would be cancelled. Unfortunately, now I'm stuck with an app that I didn't want and that won't even be used..Version: 9.7.1
✓ Doesn’t grow with you. Bad pronunciationThis app is good at first, but very limited in vocabulary range. It doesn’t follow an educational sequence. Just limited thematic word lists. The children on there pronounce words badly and unclearly. They must have an auto responder in their feedback because they don’t actually respond to you. Wish I had cancelled my subscription before the free trial was up, but was a day late. As en educator of 20 years I say don’t waste your time..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Not possible to cancelI downloaded this app to see what it was like and then decided I didn’t want to use it so tried to cancel. I used the reason ‘free trial not long enough’ and the only option left was either to accept a 50% reduction in annual fee or continue with the 7 day trial. I am not going to use this app so would love my money back. The questionnaire at the beginning came up with 4 developmental issues my child supposedly has but how can you conclude this based on some yes/no answers. Please refund me and cancel my membership..Version: 8.0.1
✓ This company has an offensive ableist advertising strategyThis company was brought to my attention on social media for its advertising, depicting non verbal children as dribbling, vacant, lonely shells pre exposure to this product. Naturally, a lot of parents who have non verbal children were extremely upset by this, and when it was challenged the advertisements were removed but no comment or apology whatsoever was made by this company. You’ve got to question the ethics and motives of a company who can’t apologise when they’ve got it wrong and upset the community they are purporting to support. Ableism at its worst..Version: 7.6.1
✓ ScamEven if you unsubscribe during free trial, they will charge your account $79 for the annual fee, do not download unless you 100% want them to take your money..Version: 9.9.1
✓ Great App but Major GlichThe content of the app would get 5 stars but the glitch brings it down to two. My son, who was diagnosed with a speech delay, has been using this app for several months and loves it. I see him saying things that he heard on the app later in the day. The app itself is engaging for kids and has a nice variety of topics. Here’s where the problem is...if I don’t 100% monitor my son the entire time that he’s on the app...he’ll exit the app and play with other things on my phone or call people in my address book. I found the child lock option and thought that was a wonderful idea...well not so much. The child lock is supposed to prevent the child from exiting the app. Multiple times my phone froze while in child lock mode. And when I say froze...I mean I could not do anything. 8 hours later it would unlock on its own. Super frustrating and not to mention unsafe! What if I needed to use my phone for an emergency? I contacted Speech Blubs on almost every occasion that this happened and there has been no resolution..Version: 6.4.6
✓ Great app with one BUTMy 2 year old son really enjoys this app! He likes the games and stories. Although we’ve been doing it for months, it hasn’t sparked any significant speech. My BUT for the app is that the goal is to play for 5 minutes each day. My son will be done with the app and it’ll send me a notification that he has “one more minute” for his goal. I checked my app usage and he was over 17 minutes. I thought maybe it’s the way he has to engage in games but this morning he clicked around for one minute and didn’t complete anything and when he put my phone down it said “come back for 4 minutes”. This made more sense but I don’t appreciate an app trying to bring my kid back for more screen time after nearly 20 minutes..Version: 9.3.1
✓ Engaging Speech Learning App for Toddlers, But Recent Update GlitchSpeech Blubs is an interactive speech learning app that my toddler enjoys. One of the app's notable features is the use of video modeling, where children imitate sounds and words after watching short videos of their peers. This approach encourages imitation and repetition, which are fundamental to language acquisition. However, recent updates seem to have introduced some technical glitches that affect the app's functionality. The app gets stuck on the loading screen with the fish, preventing further progress. This kind of issue is frustrating..Version: 11.2.3
✓ Русский язык можно найти только через поискТупая русофобия! И вообще зачем спрашивали язык, если обучение все равно английским словам. Говорите с ребёнком чаще, лицом к лицу, будет больше толка..Version: 9.7.0
✓ Not happy with this at allWhen you first start the app, they get you to take a questionnaire about your child. They then compare your answers to other children similar to the age of yours. Children hit milestones at different ages, and we shouldn’t be comparing. This can make you worry for no reason! But then if you want to continue you have to pay for it!!! Please do not download this app. I’m really quite appalled by it.Version: 8.0.1
✓ My 13 month old has got issues in 4 areas?!?I’ve never ever written a review for an app, but this time I had to. As you all know, you first fill in a little questionnaire about your child, and then get “results”. The questions weren’t good enough, too specific, and based on my answers, the results said that my 13 month old has got potential issues in 4 areas!!! I am a child psychologist, and you cannot compare a 13 month old with a 24 month old (cause that’s my baby’s age group, according to you), and based on that say that my child has potential issues! I am 100% sure that my baby’s development is just fine, I just wanted to see what things I can do with him to help him develop even more. But after seeing the “results”, I don’t even want to use the app anymore, telling parents their kids got issues when they actually don’t... I’m disgusted, to say the least!.Version: 6.7.2
✓ Horrible update designMy son is 2 and a half and LOVED (past tense)this app. I kid you not he was talking and mimicking sounds in MINUTES. He loved the ease of access and it’s child user friendly interface. That all changed with this new update. Now he has to do what the update makes him do and he’s not interested. Also, wayyyy too many adult buttons on their practice page. He keeps clicking and getting frustrated when it takes him from the game. The first thing it forces him to practice are words, but he’s more successful with the sounds right now. We were working our way up to that. Overall, I’m so disappointed with the update that I am being forced to withdraw my subscription. Glad I didn’t sign up for the year yet. Such a bummer because he WAS being so successful with it. Why did they have to mess it all up?!.Version: 4.0.3
✓ Subscription based appAdvertised as “In App Purchases” but immediately prompts you to pay for a month subscription, or toggle to a free week trial. (That other reviewers have mentioned you get charged a full year subscription at the end of your week) Many other apps that encourage Speach without a hefty subscription fee..Version: 13.0.1
✓ Not sureI’m not happy about the ‘attitude’ of this app, I started filling it in and my baby started to cry so I obviously put my phone down to look after my child and then kept getting messages saying why on earth have you stopped now? I then filled in the form and it concluded my child had problems with playing and speech, he is 18months old and is already saying a lot of words even grouping words together and he loves to play and is really good at it, I didn’t actually continue after this as it annoyed me more than once in the first 5 minutes..Version: 4.5.0
✓ What did I miss?This app was a waste of time. I honestly don’t understand the 5 star reviews surely I have missed something? The app was slow and my toddler had no interest in any of the games or activities and after a few tries just refused to participate. I tried them on my own but they were boring. I cancelled my subscription the same day but after the quiz to choose why I cancelled I selected “other” and a pop up for 50% off came up with no exit or decline button only accept. I did not accept it and close and deleted the app but I found this to be very sneaky. After reading the reviews I noticed people had fallen victim to this and been charged immediately. If I am charged for anything I will be extremely angry as I also saw reviews saying refund requests had been denied..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Glitchy - could’ve been really helpfulI used this with my son who has slight speech delay. It was going well until the language changed to Spanish and neither of us could work out what was going on. Just as the momentum began with the learning, it came to an abrupt end, leaving my little boy somewhat confused. We decided to cancel our subscription on the spot. We can little afford the interruption in what should be a seamless and easy learning experience for any child is who might already be struggling. Love the concept though..Version: 7.1.1
✓ Don’t be me! Read reviews FRIST before committing!I would like to give 1 star, but the graphics person did a very cute job. This is completely useless for my twins. My son watches it like it’s a TV show and waits patiently for any action to begin. He only taps on the kid figures and home button, neither of which helps his speech at all. But eventually he walks away bored. Their ads, website, etc are incredibly confusing…on the ad I saw a girl who was ~1y, the site says 12m+, but the app says 4y+. So…?? Both twins tap on the wrong answers on purpose to get the app to make the funny sounds it does. Why am I paying for that?! The home button is HUGE, so my kids end up tapping on it while trying to tap on other buttons, balloons, etc. And like another reviewer said, the voice should say “now you say ____” instead of saying “now your turn”. Because my kids don’t get it. After listening daily for several weeks, they have yet to repeat a single word after anyone. And in real life they are saying 5-10 words regularly. I regret not cancelling before I was billed because now I’m stuck..Version: 8.3.0
✓ Creates panicThis does nothing other than create panic for parents who end up thinking their child is delayed in one or multiple areas. If you take the free trial and then cancel it so it doesn’t bill you, you can’t use the app at all and when the idea of the free trial is that it’s FREE and you shouldn’t need to commit to it with your payment details just to continue for 7 days.. not to mention I received countless notifications and emails within the first few hours..Version: 7.5.1
✓ Some disturbing content - parental advisoryMy son has been using this app for a couple months now. We have found the content to be decent for his age as he is 21 months however as he gets older I’m seeing there isn’t that much variety for him to learn from. Also and very importantly, as I sit with him during his practice I’ve noticed some rather disturbing content with dinosaurs exploding off the planet and screaming, chickens flying off their egg and crashing and burning and a cat that after the 9th time jumping in the water doesn’t come back as well as the haunted looking house and ghost under the emotions category for fear... I very much do not think this content is acceptable for young impressionable children. I make sure to always skip past these activities when we play as they upset him. This content needs to very much be reviewed!! Especially with the price tag that is charged for this app! How do such videos get okayed to be presented to such young children??.Version: 6.7.1
✓ ScamI did the free trial to see if this would help my son learn to expand his vocabulary. It was very apparent very quickly this was not helpful to him. I canceled the free trial and thought that was that only to find they charged me $60 for a whole year!!! This is a total scam. I would have been willing to try this again in the future but the way they handled this is totally sketchy and bad business 10/10 do not recommend. Hide your wallet and go somewhere else. Update. Still no response from scammers. They took my money and ran. Will not answer my emails. Anyone know how to report an app to Apple? Update: tried another email address and they didn’t even try to help. They just blew me off and refused to offer any solution. Seriously considering pursing legal action. You can not offer a free trial and then charge someone when they cancel before that trial period is even over. This is a scammy business with no customer service. Please for the love of everything so not give them a cent. Update: after several very delayed responses from their “customer service” saying they could not locate my account I brought my case straight to Apple. I highly recommend if you have been scammed by them in bringing this to their attention as well..Version: 6.6.1
✓ Not greatI bought this in hopes that my son would have games to play to help him along with speech therapy. Unfortunately you can make any sound in order for the app to register as correct so you still need to sit there and correct/help your child the whole time. I may as well do the paper activities given to me by the speech pathologist. My son is also 6 and finds it boring. This game is more suited to a 3-4 yo in my opinion..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Would be 4 star but…I am so frustrated! I signed up for this app and paid the yearly subscription fee (not monthly) and after about a month of use the app will not work anymore. It continuously says loading it’s doing it on my phone and on my child’s tablet so I know that it’s not a problem with my device or Wi-Fi because I’ve tried it on others Wi-Fi as well. I reached out to them via email because they have no other way to contact them and they have yet to respond, it’s so frustrating to me that they can take their money right away but they won’t provide you with service right away. I told him that I either want my money back or I want the problem fixed and all the weeks that I’ve missed added to my subscription expiration. I have tried everything. Uninstalling, and reinstalling on both devices updating both of my devices and doing factory resets on them. This is 100% on their side..Version: 11.2.0
✓ No option to cancel subscriptionThe app rolled over from a trial period to automatically enroll for the high value one year subscription. There is no cancel option in the subscription page. No response back from the developer despite numerous emails. Even without these issues, I would not pay for this app as it is not very good..Version: 4.3.4
✓ UselessThis app doesn’t really help with specific speech needs. My son needs to work on the s sound and it’s just all sorts of random words. Maybe for a child who needs to work on following instructions and words in general it would be useful.Version: 11.1.3
✓ DisappointingI selected your app following an advert pop up on Facebook. My son’s speech is a bit behind but he’s excelling in all other areas after consulting health visitor so I’m happy to keep going with advice we’ve been given. I thought your app was supposed to be a fun way to encourage children to talk.... Instead it opens with a questionnaire resulting in a big amber warning to consult a certified speech and language therapist! Additionally, when trying to exit the app when I didn’t want to pay to gain access, it was near on impossible to get out of! Not a positive experienced for an app of this nature, advertising to be fun and support learning..Version: 6.4.8
✓ Uber sucksNo stars.Version: 12.0.1
✓ Was immediately charged upon signing upLooks like I fell victim to the supposed “50% off promo” for the annual subscription with a 7 day free trial. My card was immediately charged upon signing up. No choice now but to leave the app on my device for a full year without being able to try it out..Version: 7.2.0
✓ Not worth the costYes, canceling is tricky but that happens pretty much with every app that has a subscription. So that’s not a big deal even though I’m pretty sure I canceled before the week is up but I’ll get over $10. My son enjoyed it very much. However it kept giving us the same words over and over. You would think for the price it would have so many more words! There are so many animals out there, why would we have to keep doing the same 6 over and over (even the same one back to back zzzzzz)? I also disliked the “informational” videos after he choose the correct words. They are more appropriate for older kids, maybe 4 or 5. I don’t want my son to see a bird wearing a conductor hat or a horse trying on high heels. He needs to learn basic stuff before he gets confused by imaginative things. I would not recommend for children under 4..Version: 6.4.6
✓ It doesn't meet what we expect.It's not for young children their functioning isn't easy for them..Version: 9.4.2
✓ Not impressedBeen seeing this app advertised for ages on Facebook so decided to give it a go. Unfortunately very disappointing - tried to sign up for the 7 day free trial and I was only able to see a tiny amount of the content. Not likely to persuade me to pay if I can’t see what I’m going to be paying for! Having read other reviews I’m now worried I’m going to be charged even if I cancel my subscription today for an app my son wasn’t even interested in. :/.Version: 6.4.3
✓ Weird lessons being taughtAccording to the lessons in this app bowling skittles turn into a bomb exploding when struck by a ball and cats commit suicide! Just what young children learning to speak need right!?! These are just a few examples of what the app ‘teaches’ children. Also the customer service is so rude - doesn’t care about what issues you have. The sound mix is really bad and the app closes randomly and plays different things at the same time. Could be a good app if the developer genuinely cared but I sometimes wonder if they even have children. My kid is utterly bored 90% of the time. Oh and that assessment... is a joke. Please don’t believe it if it tries to tell you your kid has learning difficulties..Version: 7.4.2
✓ Reduced 18m old to tearsWe have been using the app a while and my baby has started copying some of the sounds. It’s been useful to see how much repetition is needed to help some babies talk. However, the content is really questionable in few places for younger babies. Today it included a clip of an actual baby crying and looking distressed which caused my toddler to be completely distraught for about 20 mins. I won’t be using the app again, they need to tailor the context more carefully with ages and development stages in mind..Version: 8.2.6
✓ Fun for kids, horrible customer serviceMy son used this app everyday for a year. His speech never improved, there is no way to help with articulation. It simply says the word and has some picture games. When I put him in speech therapy, his therapist agreed the app is good to introduce words and sounds, but doesn’t help with actually learning how to say it correctly. When I decided to cancel my subscription, they send me an email trying to convince me to stay for a cheaper rate, I declined. They are still trying to charge my card for a renewed subscription that I have cancelled, before the end of the current subscription. I can not get a response from their email after over a week of waiting and sending multiple different emails. Only reason I give it 2 stars, is because my son did like playing the games and actually using the app. It has a nice set up with the parental controls and profess tracking while also having the kids be able to navigate their way through the different games. It’s just not working for my family and I’m not getting an response for Corporate about the issues..Version: 11.2.3
✓ WeMm Lm mmmkkiiijt. Hi I. Bc feg Dr t in slug.Version: 12.0.1
✓ ScamYou can’t use “ free trail “ unless you subscribe for $20 per month. You have to get whole year subscription. You can’t choose less months (2,4,6 or 10 months ). I want to use “ free trail “ before paying to see if that app is helpful or not..Version: 10.1.2
✓ I feel scammedIt advertised 1 week free trial so I thought it couldn’t hurt to try. My daughter didn’t care for most of the activities and the one she did kinda have interest in she quickly went through. I tried to end the trail because I knew a year of this would not work and I am not willing to pay $15 a month for an app that won’t get used that much. They have tried pulling the funds anyway for a year and every time I deactivated my “membership” it seems to not have happened when I go to check on it. I reached out to customer service and never heard back. I did deactivate it on my phone so they cannot pull more funds out but I never agreed to a year subscription. It made it sound like I could cancel whenever and get my money back if I continued but I cannot even get back what I lost when I tried to cancel the subscription before the trial ended. Buyer beware.Version: 6.6.3
✓ Child LockThis app was amazing until we utilized the child lock mode. The screen automatically switched. You couldn’t see the characters while playing the game as the screen rotated in a way where nearly everything was cut off from view. When trying to fix it, the screen froze. It only allowed me to open the parent part to unlock child lock, however, due to the rotation issue, I couldn’t enter my birth year & ended up having to wait until my phone completely died in order to gain access to my phone again. I’m considering canceling my subscription & moving on to another app unless this issue gets resolved. Maybe the bugs in the app need to be fixed in order to not have the screen rotate then freeze, or something. Otherwise, great app. It’s a shame that my issue with the app is as the only reason why I’d cancel & walk away..Version: 13.0.1
✓ Not autism or Deaf/HOH friendlyConsidering the fact that language therapy is for delayed kids, I expected this to be a better app. The touch sensitivity is terrible. My kiddo just puts his whole hand on the screen because he knows if he leaves it there, he can zoom through the activities with no effort. From an occupational standpoint this isn’t helping him learn finger dexterity at all. On top of that, the language is weird. It’s almost like it’s not a native English speaker writing the audio scripts. As a mom to a hard of hearing, autistic kid, speech therapy apps like this are rarely made for kids who ACTUALLY have delays and this one is no different. It’s for atypical, normally developing children. There are no captions so he can’t even really word of association with the images. To be honest I guess for the price, I had high hopes. This is our second time trying speech Blubs in two years and we will be canceling again as nothing has improved. I know it seems mean but I’m being honest to help another parent who might be struggling thinking this app will be so much better than others out there. It’s not..Version: 12.2.3
✓ Update pleaseTakes a long time to load and my toddler gets too impatient and switches to his other apps..Version: 11.2.1
✓ Be careful! Incredible chargeI just subscribed this speech blubs on 16th July last month, and in it showed me one month free trial no charge . But on 23th July you just charge me £9.99. It’s really ridiculous ! Because 16th to 23th is only 8 days and you started charge me money! Don’t tell me it’s only 7 days free trial! I’m very sure it show me is one month free ! ! And I got my order history can prove what I said! In my purchase history still got record showed that: £0 monthly subscription!.Version: 3.2.2
✓ BewareBeware that you’ll be charged a full year subscription immediately following the “free trial” which turns out not to be free at all. You won’t be prompted or notified except to get a receipt of payment for almost $100. I had to email Apple directly to get a refund. I feel sorry for people who wouldn’t know to do that and end up being stuck with this payment. Feels like a scam and imo bad business, especially during these times when people are short on cash!.Version: 6.4.13
✓ VoleurBande de voleurs!!!!.Version: 9.3.1
✓ Don’t download it!!You guys charged me after the fact that I’ve cancelled it. No I can’t even stop the pending payment through my bank it’s so difficult to even opt out or to even cancel the subscription. Didn’t even get a chance to trial the free trial. How frustrating it’s hard enough your child is speech delayed now having to deal with this mob!!.Version: 7.6.4
✓ False advertisementI’ve come across 5 different advertisements pertaining to “Speech Blubs” explaining how it will be free, or no cost to you. It’s the biggest lie they’re telling. I honestly hope parents read the reviews before actually attempting to download this app, thinking its free, only to find out you have to pay for a membership to even use the app. They’re falsely advertising that it’s free to use when in reality they demand money to use the app. It’s such a let down and disappointment. I’ve called the false advertisements on Facebook to the point where they’ve turned off the comments so that others don’t find out until they’ve downloaded it. Why turn of the comments if your ad is indeed costing these people money, while your stating it’s free. They’re pulling people in by stating it’s free when it’s the complete opposite. I’m sure I’m not the only one they’re trying to silence on social media..Version: 7.3.5
✓ Needs changesHonestly I can see the value of an app like this. Unfortunately my 19month old finds the children saying the words extremely irritating...he's not alone! I feel it would be helpful to have a visual representation of the word being said at the same time as the child is saying it. Also the 'guess the word' section doesn't work. We only have the monkey and nothing else..Version: 8.2.3
✓ RatingMy son seems to really enjoy the app. However, it is extremely frustrating for him when it crashes on him constantly. If it was functioning properly it would be worth the money, but when is crashes the majority of the time where you can’t use it, then it is a waste of time and money. Very disappointing!.Version: 9.2.3
✓ ThievesThese people are thieves. I repeat, these people are thieves. Do not even try to do the free subscription. I tried the free 7days subscription to see if my kid will like but he didn’t. I tried to cancel it and they blocked any chance of that happening. There was no way of canceling it. Before I knew it, they changed me 59$ for 1 year 3 months ago and I have since been trying to cancel it but there’s no option to cancel this stupid subscription anywhere not even in the apple store. I have sent them several emails but they never respond. I will sue this company if they charge me again for the stupid app that I have never used. They put in the app how you can request a refund. I followed that direction but their app was NOT on the list of subscriptions which means I couldn’t request for the refund. Isn’t odd that their app is the only app that can’t be canceled out of all the apps I have on my phone?.Version: 7.5.0
✓ Charged me for a yearA reminder would be great than waking up to being billed a whole year. Dear owners of this app, what in gods name have you paid in full for a year ? Monthly payment is not so bad but a year ? Are you Kidding ?.Version: 9.1.1
