Sounds of Speech for Negative User Reviews
✓ I would not recommend itThere were no slow motion or stop options. Only sound isolation. The picture was really blurry. It would be nice if there were CV, CVC, VC options so that the different types of /r/ could be viewed.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Sound isn’t workingI would like to issue a refund for this app as the sound doesn’t work on my phone. I see this is a long shot as your help website is now dead and I don’t see anywhere else I can request this. Thanks.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Missing content?This is terrible. There's nothing here but a list of linguistic definitions! Just lost $2.99 :(.Version: 1.6.5
✓ What happened to the website?!I used to frequent the sounds of speech website when I was a SLP student. It was amazing and now doesn’t exist for English anymore and this app isn’t as good as the old website’s content. Why remove such a valuable resource for students and practitioners? Such a bummer.Version: 2.3
✓ Totally useless app don't even botherNice idea but no execution. I clicked on spanish pronounciation and got this stupid app which i later discovered had in small print no Spanish..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Cant explain how bad it isThere is nothing in it.Version: 1.6.5
✓ Needs improvementI used to love this site because it would give you a list of words examples for each sound . Another downside of the app is that it doesn’t show you the sound for the complete word , rather it breaks it into parts but I want to be able to hear its pronunciation in both forms . As an English language student and linguistics student I find it a bit problematic not to have enough examples . Please make the app quality as good as your site . A big thanks though for all the good work you have already done ..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Wish pause and slow motion were optionsLove the idea of the app, I just wish I could pause the animations or view them in slow motion. My apraxia and dysarthria patients often require extra processing time, slowing it down would help their concept transfer!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ The animations are misleadingThe animations are misleading because the model pronounces final /p/ of “top” as aspirated when it is, in fact, unaspirated. She does this with all stops in word-final position. It’s incorrect. Moreover, there’s no modeling of the /t/ allophone [ɾ] as in “butter.”.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Disgusting appWhatever the show in pic, it's does not appear at all after buying it. Such a waste of money. Really dissatisfied with this app..Version: 1.6.5
✓ What happened to the German?The original website had German. Hopefully that will be added soon.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Have potentialThis app offers you a multi-language chart but the Spanish area it's all wrong. This need to be fixed ASAP..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Video quality is not goodThis app used to have excellent video quality. Something has happened and now they are degraded, pixelated, and show the video controls. Please fix. Thanks. EDIT: 8/31/2021 Just following up. Is this ever going to be fixed?.Version: 2.3
✓ Not user friendlyI just updated my itunes and downloaded the application but it is not playing. The application does not appear to be intuitive..Version: 1.6.5
✓ QuestionWill you add French to your option of choice of language to use in the app?.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Would be better on iPadIt’s okay. Would be better to see this all on the larger iPad screen..Version: 1.5
✓ Dont buy itUseless and expensive.this was a $5 total waste..don t buy it.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Am I Missing Something?All I see is definitions of speech-related terms.... not AT ALL like the screen shots! Am I doing something wrong or is this one of the biggest wastes of money in the App Store??.Version: 1.6.5
✓ Not workingGood app. Doesn't seem to support iOS 8.Version: 1.6
✓ Not what is was Too BadI used this site in the past and purchased the app hoping it was going to be similar to the desk top version. While it offers more languages, I don’t care for the app version. Everything was on one page per sound on the desktop version. I could see both the animated and live model version. It provided a profile and head on view. So much better before. Now, I have to jump between various pages and in the process lose the students attention and just not as effective. I will use it because I paid for it but may opt for other visuals.Version: 2.3
✓ No GermanIt would be nice if there were German sounds like on the original website. Korean, English, Spanish, Chinese available despite the description that claims that only English is available..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Appears to be brokenOnly provides text definitions. Like a super small dictionary. No video. No audio. No pictures. Maybe just really broken right now?.Version: 1.6
✓ Don't buy this appI found the website very interesting. I thought the app would be the same as the website (including the English language). This was a false propagandist. The application does not present any learning tools (it is not the same as the website). Don't buy this app. Whoever created this app stole US$3.90 (plus tax) from me!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Don't buy this!I was hoping this app would have all the features of the original web version. It is a very poor imitation. The web intro is misleading; it makes one think that Spanish phonetics are included. The fine print says not, but it's not a good practice to mislead. Also, the app version has this confusing, non-standard notation of IPA symbols (not in brackets, as if they were letters), and what I presume are letters as subscript. This notation is not explained anywhere that I can find. What is a beginner to make of this?.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Continually CrashesThe idea behind this app is great, and the free online app is amazing. However, this $2.99 app is terrible. Multiple crashes on startup, & once inside the app, sounds that go along with the animation only works once, then no more, no matter which letter, or section. Very disappointing. Will have to try and get my money back from iTunes and keep using the free online app..Version: 1.6
✓ Few IPA simbol onlyThis app contains only few IPA symbol only. This app should add more IPA symbol. For example, there is not lateral fricative or lateral affricate at all. I hope that this app have all of IPA symbol as soon as possible..Version: 1.6
✓ OkFor those saying it has nothing, click a description, then a sound at the bottom, and you'll see the videos. However /p/ is not "pUH"! It's just the lips together w an unvoiced push of air. Peeve of mine! Please fix so I can use this w students in speech therapy.Version: 1.6.5
✓ SLPNot worth purchasing for $5.00. It is truly a waste of money..Version: 2.2.2
