Smack Talk is a fantastically funny app that does one thing, but does it so well!
Essentially it consists of a 5 animated furry animals (a guinea pig, cats and dogs) that animate superbly as they repeat back to you what you say in a pitch changed voice (sounding almost exactly like the chipmunks on TV)
The repetition is almost immediate, and its this that sets of a kind of chain reaction - you say something, it repeats it squeeky voice, you laugh it laughs back squeeky etc.
I've seen this app used very successfully in schools to engage kids in modern foreign languages - its very good at knocking down the barriers of feeling awkward at speaking out loud.
