This voice-controlled speech therapy app is designed to help kids learn new sounds and words, and to practice speaking in a stimulating, educational environment. We are proud, though a bit flabbergasted that our 1500+ activities have been used over 1,000,000 times to trigger sound and word production in toddlers, late talkers (speech delay), children with Apraxia of Speech, Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder.
WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST SPEECH BLUBS?
Jennifer Marron, B.S., SLP-A
I use Speech Blubs with my articulation students who have a difficult time using their lips and tongue to produce certain sounds (e.g. /b/, /p/, /th/, /l/, etc.). The clients I have used this to have so far loved it and are fully engaged. Thank you for a great application!

SCIENTIFICALLY-PROVEN LEARNING TECHNIQUES
In a recent study published by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), UCLA researchers proved that watching peers in real time results in MIRROR NEURONS being activated, which has been shown to be highly effective in speech development. Speech Blubs uses video modeling to create an immersive learning environment that allows children to observe their peers on video as they learn.

Worst customer service. I am so frustrated. I did the 7 day free trial back in March. I tried cancelling, but I was already charged. In my process of trying to cancel I inadvertently deactivated my account. Well, I was charged the $59.99 and have NO access to the app for my child to try and use since I have already paid. I have sent 2 separate emails to either get a refund or be granted access to the site and all I get is a run around.
The concept is great! However, it’s not the greatest with animal sounds and the extra video clips of the word are super weird and confusing at times. The girl making that is supposed to be making the horse sound sounds like a donkey which can be VERY confusing. This app does help with some things but confusing sounds and video clips at the same time. Also, a toad is not a frog like in one of the video clips. I could really go on about a lot more but those things mentioned stood out the most.
Good idea, but poor execution. The app constantly shuts down with error messages (more that half the time). My daughter enjoys watching the children speak so I think that aspect is helpful. There seems to be a preoccupation with pooping and farting that I don’t enjoy. The volume varies a lot. Some of the children don’t make the right sounds for animals or say words strangely. I don’t recommend this app because it misbehaves more than it works. I pretty much paid to be annoyed due to the issues.
The majority of the app’s features caused the app to crash and close. There were only 2 sounds videos in a few categories. The content that was there was incredibly slow to load. My 2 year old isn’t going to wait 3 minutes for a 15-20 second video. Many times that micro video stopped to reload. The feature of your child using the front facing camera along with the video on the app wasn’t there. All in all, an extreme disappointment.
Not a terrible app but flawed. My granddaughter and I would play for about 15 minutes but still be told we didn’t reach the goal of playing ten minutes. There were times, not often, where there was no sound. Also we would play game after game and still not be able to, “pop stars”, as an award for completing exercises. You’re supposed to be awarded after completing two exercises. However, this app captured her attention and she loved taking pictures. I thought, however, the app was a bit pricey.
Kind of cute, it’s really just videos of kids repeating themselves. The other things that go along with those videos are strange and confusing little clips that don’t really teach anything, some if which say things I don’t want my two year old repeating. Definitely a waste of $9.99 especially considering I was trying to sign up for the free trial and got charged anyway!
Trying to decline the subscription during free trial. The app states you need to visit the play store to change your subscription, but there is nothing there. I went to the website and also couldn’t find anywhere to cancel. I sent an email and the response said that they will review and get back to me in 48 hours. HOWEVER, due to high volumes they might not respond for up to a week. Not looking forward to having to fight for a refund when they draft out a fee for a subscription that I don’t want
Not that great. Plus they make it near impossible to cancel before the free trial ends to avoid being charged. None of the cancellation methods on their support page works. Sent 3 messages 24-72 hours before the free trial expired and have yet to receive a reply beyond a form email stating that they’ll *try* to respond within 48 hours. Don’t download this app. It’s a total trap.
This app is actually pretty amazing. You go through a series of questions so that it can help you focus on studies that your child may need more assistance in. Make sure to answer honestly to get the best help for your child. I also love that it uses other children for all of the different exercises, because here at our home, parents fall onto deaf ears when it comes to teaching. I have learned for my child anyway that she tends to listen and learn more when its coming from a peer.
It’s weird. Has unnecessary content. The short video played for the word “car” is a horse and buggy talking about how they didn’t have cars back in the old days. The horse then poops and it has sound effects then there is a male groan that’s sounds relieved. It’s just strange. We did the quiz for his age. He’s 18 months A simple video of a car would have been better. Lots of other examples but not enough letters left to type. It’s also takes 📸 of them and has a 🎤. I don’t like that 🤷♀️
Kept seeing ads for this, so I downloaded it! Started the free trial before I decided to buy a subscription, and so glad I did! I couldn’t even get a single activity done. There was no sound, the screen kept freezing and the app keeps force closing. Waste of time.
This app was a great addition to my toddler’s speech therapy. The sounds we’re fun for him and he enjoyed seeing and listening to children say the words and make the sounds. My son has definitely made a huge improvement in his speech during this year, I’m sure it has been a combination of different thugs but the app definitely made practice fun. The daily reminder was very helpful. The app updated a few times during the year we’ve had it and every update has made the app more fun to use.
My daughter really enjoyed this app. Recently i was logged off, reasons unknown. After signing back on, all my daughters achievements were gone and the section she played the most was as well (the only one that held her interest and she constantly returned to). It was just there two days ago! She really enjoyed doing the puzzles and the itsy bitsy spider. Sadly, we already paid for the year subscription (only option given, so beware)
Hard to unsubscribe, can not figure out thru the Google apps.. my son never really liked the app, interested the first couple times but wanted nothing to do with it after that. The company emailed me and I was able to unsubscribe quickly with a link they provided.
Why is the app so different on android than it is on iPhone. I hate the way it is on the android because she doesn’t understand to press the arrow to continue, but on iPhone it just continues automatically and rotates the screen! Also I couldn’t sign in to the account she had already on my iPhone I had to create a whole new profile, but my subscription did not transfer either.
Was a pretty cool app, my son wasn’t a huge fan he figured out how to skip the part where it was his turn. I unfortunately didn’t realize the subscription auto pulled after the trial. They was kind enough to reimbursed me
I never received an alert that my 7 day trial was over and was then charged for the year. Horrible customer service!
I cancelled my 7 day free trial in time so hopefully they will not charge me, i just need to keep an eye on my bank account. For those people who subscribed the 7 day free trial, you can cancel by going back to your email and find the google receipt for it and there, you can click manage subscription. Their instruction to cancel wasn’t clear at all and you can’t cancel by logging in to their app. You need to check the google receipt in your email.
Just okay. Was interested by the ad, but the ap itself is unfinished and I cannot access complete games. For instance, the ABCs are not complete? There are only a few choices to ‘build the meals.’ Pretty sad to pay a lot of money for an app that doesn’t give full access.
I wish there were more common words/phrases like ‘please, thank you, your welcome, yes, no, ect. There needs to be all the shapes, currently there is no square, rectangle or triangle. Should have more family members like sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, aunt and uncle. More toys and outdoor stuff as well, example ball, play, pool, puddle, slide, swing, run, block, book, bounce, I could literally go on for quite awhile with these ones. Just add more please! My son loves this app!!
Updated Review: I had issue with getting my refund from Google but after contacting them directly. They were able to refund within next business days and they said it’ll take 2 weeks. Definitely try them for sure .. it wasn’t a great fit for us but other parents might find it helpful. My son was born early so still at the stage where he is barely understanding us.
I have this on my iphone and it is completely different on my kids tablet which is annoying because he is used to the version on the phone. Why is it not the same? The learning journey is completely different.
A-G only? The 7,8,9 get stuck on the memory thing. You can’t flip any of the cards. The cat/dog washing thing is so repetitive! If this was free it would be one thing, but we have to pay for this?
I’m so disappointed, after subscription and payment. They ask me to create an account and wouldn’t let me sign in. Please I need my money back as soon as possible.
This was not what was advertised. I have canceled my free trial not even an hour after trying it. This is not for toddlers who have difficulty learning as it claims.
Great games and wonderful for speech development, however, my son grew frustrated with it after more than 5-7 min. I started setting a timer for 5 min to make sure to turn it off. That worked, but it’s a hassle. I wish the games in the ap would come to a natural end so that I wouldn’t have had to wrestle the phone away before baby became overwhelmed
Straight up false advertising. They lie and make it seem like it’s an age taliored course work, but the course work is all for the same age group (advanced). Also, they charge 50 bucks for a lie. Keep looking. (Update): They tried to say I was wrong, but I took their quiz and it was wayy too advanced course work. It’s just bad.
This is deffinately a SCAM!! I signed up for thr 7 day FREE trial and immediatley recieve a notification advising of charges to my account and to make matter worst its $100.00 charge i see when sub states 59.99….the terms and condition did state after free tria,l you either be charge or given the option to cancel … Not before the trial ends. I would not recommend if your advertizing false information.
NOT FREE! Saw it rated as #2 FREE app in parenting, so I downloaded it. Got through the test and found I had to subscribe. I have no problem with the idea of paying for something like this, but be up front about having to pay!
I needed a refund on the day of purchase because the app is useless, but they refused because they said I was against policy. Policy says I have 48 hours and I was within that time. I tried the sample app, and followed the rules. This app is NOT worth ₩80,000 ($80). I will take further action to make sure the app is not recommended to others and will ttempt to get my money back. In addition, the app charge amount and procedure are very unclear for anyone trying the app.I was robbed! Disgusted!
Can not keep data across multiple devices which is a deal breaker for me. No option to cancel through app and now fighting for refund. App itself isn’t great. Redundant yet somehow still not enough speaking interactivity.
Wasn’t able to log on multiple devices. Reached out for help. Just a automated reply. Nothing else. Would not recommend
My little girl who is almost 3 was diagnosed with autism level 2 and 3 and this holds her attention. I believe it’s definitely helping her to say words and we’ve only used it for about 2 months. We are excited to see how she does the longer we use with app. I very much recommend this app!
Don’t get the free trial! I tried canceling and still got charged! I live paycheck to paycheck and did NOT have the money to spend on this app my toddler doesn’t even use anymore. I was told I’d get a message before I was charged and that didn’t happen either!
Wont allow free trial unless you subscribe for payment to “start after free trial” but cancel anytime. And let’s face it, if we don’t like the trial we always forget to cancel so will be charged anyway. If you want to give users a free trial then simply do it and then restrict access after the trial period. Don’t be so misleading.
Thank you for providing a much needed ph service to a population at a price. I find that products such as this are designed toward lower income communities, so its a plain slap in the face to continue to charge those populations for your service. Maybe offer a free version instead of a pay only option, seeing as how technology is the future. I for one wont even start the free trial due to the other stated issued within the comments. Such a shame since i cant always bring my sons tablet with us.
Trying to cancel my subscription but it appears to be impossible. I have sent an email which will hopefully be replied to. I would surgest avoiding this application as it seems like a scam of some sort.
Very repetitive. My child has completed all the words, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to move onto the next level of words? So, very expensive for very little content. Is there a way to level up the categories? Unhappy, and out 36 bucks.
Using the free trail for now and my 2 year old son absolutely loves it. He is engaged in the curriculum and it keeps his attention. We will definitely be paying for the subscription.
No option to subscribe on a monthly basis. Only has yearly subscription.
