Apps for Stuttering
This is the beginning of a page featuring APPs that are currently being marketed for stuttering. No endorsement is implied, and several are simply "not recommended" at all. If you know of other APPs, you may suggest them by contacting Judy Kuster
NOT recommended - just as people try to sell "cures" for stuttering on the Internet, some are starting to use APPs to sell their ideas. They are not linked here. You can explore them if you want by entering the title into Google or on Yahoo APPs search. The prices listed were current on February 23, 2012.
