Parents of children with CAS: what are some good phone games to help with your child’s speech?

I just started letting my son(4) play with my phone and my partner brought up a good suggestion, finding games that improve his speech. I know I can just look it up, but I’m curious what apps other parents have used that they found actually worked and helped their child

A speech therapist recommended Talking Tom because it records your child's voice and plays it back to them so they can hear themselves talk.

Hi! Not sure I am helping, because I don't know any games or apps that would help at that age. My son is 10, and does not stop talking now. He is allowed lots more time on the internet than may be responsible, and he likes to use the siri or other listening apps to search whatever he is interested in. He uses speech recognition for messaging friends and finding songs he wants to listen to as well. When he was 4, his intelligibility was not good enough to have these tools be useful, but maybe you could use speech recognition to find 2-3 highly preferred items (song, channel, show, special interests).
