What Speech Blubs is
Speech Blubs is a speech learning app for children ages 1–8, using video modeling and activities to support speech and language skills. Children watch other children say words and imitate them; activities target speech sounds and language development. The app includes more than 1,500 activities, with speech practice, face filters, and stickers for different developmental stages. The maker describes the app as serving children with speech delay, Down syndrome, apraxia, or autism, and says it is meant to supplement—not replace—professional speech therapy. One subscription covers a family, with multiple child profiles in one account. The maker says the app has no ads or links that lead children out of the app. Some activities work offline after download, though an internet connection is recommended for access to all features and the best experience. Speech Blubs is available on iOS and Android, but not currently supported on Kindle or Amazon Fire tablets. Plans include Monthly at $14.99 a month, One-Time Offer at $29.98 a year, and Annual at $59.99 a year; the Annual plan includes a 7-day free trial.
