Here is an alphabetical list of all the apps I have reviewed, categorized by operating system (Apple, Android, or both). Each item in the list is linked to my review of it. If you become aware of any of these apps becoming available on both operating systems, let me know and I’ll update them!

Ben the Tractor and the Lost Sheep

Love your work
Any chance we can get our app listed? https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ivocalize/id575350571
Thanks!!
Hi Angela! This is actually just a list of apps that have been reviewed on this blog, not a comprehensive list of SLP apps! If you would like to have it reviewed, feel free to email me at atklingensmith @ gmail . com. Thanks. 🙂
Aww thanks so much, Suzanne!
This is a wonderful list, thanks! I would like to also suggest you review and add “AAC Autism myVoice Communicator” for android. It’s inexpensive (less than $3) and far better in simplistic layout and design than other AAC’s. My son picked it up right away and loves it. It’s customizable and it’s all included in the original cost. Works great! I think more people should be aware of this app! I have it on my Droid phone from Google Play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=apphouse.software.autismspeaks&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFwcGhvdXNlLnNvZnR3YXJlLmF1dGlzbXNwZWFrcyJd
And, my son also uses it on his Kindle Fire. It’s available on the Amazon appstore also. http://www.amazon.com/RoessingDev-Autism-myVoice/dp/B00BJXO8SC/ref=sr_1_6?s=mobile-apps&ie=UTF8&qid=1372141808&sr=1-6&keywords=aac
Will you be including reviews for apps from Amazon for Kindle Fire? That would be great! I know many special needs families such as mine are turning to the Kindle Fire as the less expensive tablet alternative to the iPad.

Hi Mark! Thanks for the suggestion! I am always looking for more Android-based apps, so I will check that out.
I haven’t focused on Kindle/Nook reviews, mainly because I do not own any of these devices. However, I do recognize that more people are beginning to purchase them for therapy/education-related purposes, so I will try to be more aware of what is available for them. In addition, I’d recommend you check out another site I’m involved in, http://www.yappguru.com. The site is an aggregate online community that incorporates reviews from a variety of review sites like this one. It also has a large directory of therapy/education-related apps. So you can go on and search the directory by keyword, device (e.g. Kindle specifically), skill targeted, etc. Many of the apps in this directory have snapshot reviews that link back to original reviews from a number of reputable blogs. It is still in public beta, so we are still building up a comprehensive app base. However, it already has plenty of Android/Kindle-based apps for you to peruse.
Hope this helps!
